Bullfish Hole

Bullfish Hole is about describing and explaining human behavior. It’s sociology for people who don’t equate sociology with lefty activism. It also draws from pyschology, history, and anthropology. Common topics include conflict, violence, beliefs, morality, and the philosophy of science.

Here you’ll learn about weird patterns of behavior, wild historical examples, and the general principles that can explain them. Posts include a regular series on how to construct and judge explanations, summaries of interesting books, and comparisons of different moral cultures.
