Lucas Bean Daily is a weekly-ish essay newsletter that uses psychology research (such as Altemeyer's authoritarianism scale, Paulhus's over-claiming questionnaire, and Tajfel's social identity theory) to analyse political behaviour, especially MAGA, alongside broader themes of history, technology and self-improvement. Readers get long, research-cited arguments with a strong, opinionated point of view on political psychology.
