New paper out.

What happens when you make a model that includes realistic details about how people discuss ideas and decide how to act upon them? The answer is that with just 3 such elements of realism, one can mathematically explain the emergence of commonly observed situations, such as reaching a consensus and exchanging opinions, but also the separation of ideologies and the appearance of stable polarization. Not only this, but one can also account for phenomena such as peer pressure, cognitive dissonance, tactical voting and toxic idealism ( @benroyce I told you I was going to do it 😀 ) and prove how they affect the final state of the system.

The secrets of cooperation

#Gossip and #PeerPressure can promote #cooperation better than punishment. Humans tend to gossip more with closer friends and about distant acquaintances for negative behavior which helps people to learn who to #cooperate with and who to avoid. Using social cues to encourage #BehaviorChange results in better outcomes than insisting people change.
