Volume II unites fifteen dispatches on how human perception and decision-making quietly steer what we notice, trust, and feel “sure” about. Across biases, social cues, and emotion, the throughline is the same: our minds use efficient shortcuts that can become reliable—then slip into systematic error. Understanding that mechanism matters because it turns certainty into something we can test, update, and live with more clearly.
Your mind doesn’t just see reality—it edits it, then calls the result evidence.
Each dispatch draws from and contributes to a wider library of human-behaviour analysis and reference material.

Brad and Sam examine how AI is changing where people place effort, trust, attention and emotional investment. They explore adoption and ambivalence, trust and persuasion, cognitive offloading, social and emotional uses, and the difficulty of recognising synthetic media, ending with the questions that remain open.
