There's a lot of good effort posts in this forum(and subforums) and a lot of knowledge, articles, and studies, that are repeatedly referenced as "things that are known" but sometimes it's nice to have that stuff collected in one place.
 The old thread can be found here, but many links are broken and some of the info is out of date.
I'm happy to keep this post updated and organized but if anyone has a better OP ready to go I'll happily concede.

Thanks for the UBI stuff.
If anyone wants to jump in on some other categories, that would be cool.

This is a crucial topic of discussion, and I think it's important to acknowledge from the outset that people are living in increasingly seperate realities. Our society relies on shared realities to properly function, and lately they have begun to fracture. Any dialogue has to start from certain agreed assumptions, otherwise they are just monologues happening in parallel. And in that context, meaningful conversations are becoming basically impossible, and any well-sourced argument will just be ignored.
It's largely an epistemological problem. So we're going to need to figure out a way forward within that dynamic, to bridge that divide.
I'll hopefully have more to add later, particularly around the idea of conspiracies and misinformation, but just wanted to throw that out there for now.
Agreed, and social media radicalization as well.

I remember somebody once posting a study that showed that charter schools largely don't perform, including not performing as well as just giving public schools more money. It had rating for just about every school reform possible.
Anyone have that?

This seems like a good thread to resurrect and also ask for some help.
My work got very busy and I've let this languish.
If anyone has a category they'd like to fill out or edits to any of what I've put in, let me know and I'll slap it up there.
In particular the COVID section is probably out of date.

Brennan center is a great resource but I also wrote the OP before the 2020 elections really got wierd so there's probably a large amount of stuff on elections that people have now they that they weren't thinking about
