Two brief notes before this week’s essay. 1) THE ONE AND THE NINETY-NINE, my new book about identity, social contagion, and conscience in the face of conformity, is out now. 2) I’m looking for a Chief of Staff to join me full-time—ideally based in either the Washington, DC, or West Michigan areas (or willing to relocate). The COS will be involved in everything from the full life-cycle of a new book to helping build a cultural institution from the ground up. It doubles as an apprenticeship. If you or someone you know is interested, please get in touch. Most importantly: Happy Fourth of July!
