Kahan, "Misconceptions, Misinformation, and the Logic of Identity-Protective Cognition" (May 24, 2017): "On issues that provoke identity-protective cognition, the members of the public most adept at avoiding misconceptions of science are nevertheless the most culturally polarized. Individuals are also more likely to accept misinformation and resist the correction of it when that misinformation is identity-affirming rather than identity-threatening. Effectively counteracting these dynamics, the paper argues, requires more than simply supplying citizens with correct information."

(2023): "Your knowledge of language is *infinite*, but your memory is *finite*. Your knowledge of language therefore can't be just a list of memorized sentences. A central component of any theory of language, then, involves generating an infinity of sentences with finite resources. >From a finite set of atomic elements, *lexical items* (roughly but not exactly words) composed of irreducible linguistic features, the syntax must build an infinite array of hierarchically structured expressions interpretable at the 'meaning' interface and available for externalization at the 'form' (sound/sign) interface, the so-called basic property of language (Berwick and Chomsky 2016)."
