Millennium Fellowship Project: Razor - Keeping you Sharp

Imagine you could sharpen your critical thinking skills and navigate through the noise of misinformation—whether online, in debates, or even in your everyday conversations. That’s what Razor is all about. We’re building a platform that helps you spot and understand the common pitfalls in thinking that people use, knowingly or unknowingly, to mislead or distort the truth. These might be manipulative debate tactics, mental shortcuts that cloud our judgment, or even arguments that look convincing on the surface but fall apart when you dig deeper. With interactive games, real-life examples, and an easy-to-use library, Razor gives you the tools to stay sharp, think clearly, and cut through the confusion, so you can make better decisions and see the world more clearly.
