Why
Limited school offerings and misleading social media have hurt our decision-making. Covid only made things worse for both students and professionals alike. Understanding how people make choices (what economists study) helps explain why outcomes so often differ from intentions, but these ideas are rarely taught in an accessible way.
As a former youth leadership board chair, I’ve seen critical thinking decline, especially post-COVID. The good news is that there are tools to help rebuild these skills.
Unraveling Twists covers topics in simple language - no math needed! Simple visuals and examples make complex concepts easier to grasp, because understanding how systems work shouldn’t require years of education (and it doesn’t need to).
Paired with basic civics and history, these tools help build more thoughtful citizens. What matters most isn’t which side of an issue someone takes, but whether they understand why they hold that view.
Combining the above with basic lessons in civics and history is key to creating thoughtful citizens. What side of an issue someone takes isn’t as important as knowing why they believe what they do.
Our discussions are evidence-based, focusing on data, logic, and human nature, not politics. The goal is to learn from each other and explore how reality often differs from the outcomes we expect (or the narratives we hear) - sometimes by a wide margin.
