    Do encyclopedias like Wikipedia or news organizations like NPR exist to tell us the truth, to inform us about reality? Perhaps it’s not so simple anymore. The recent example of the former CEO of Wikimedia and new CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher, is a case in point. A pair of Maher’s speeches have been making

  • What Four Years of Creative Writing Have Taught Me

    What Four Years of Creative Writing Have Taught Me4

    In 2020, I took my first college-level creative writing class. It was held on Zoom (compliments of COVID-19), and I wrote a clunky 500-word piece that was, in part, about a bug. Now, at the end of four years of writing prose, poetry, and hymns, my writing has become (at least slightly) more sophisticated. Here

    Ladies, Let’s Start Speaking Well of Men12

    There’s ample conversation about toxic masculinity in our culture today. In some circles, the consensus seems to be that all men want nothing but to wield power and subjugate women.

    Are we in the midst of a climate crisis? Broadly speaking, there are three answers to this question. Yes and we must decarbonize immediately. King Charles III delivered the keynote speech at the COP28 international climate conference organized by the United Nations last December.

    Holocaust Survivor Viktor Frankl on Collective Guilt0

    Only in movies and books is the line between good and evil people always clear. In The Gulag Archipelago (Vol. 2), Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn immortalized these words: “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts.” Solzhenitsyn wrote those

    Why Karl Marx Desperately Needed Jordan Peterson’s Advice6

    As I make my way through Paul Kengor’s wonderful book The Devil and Karl Marx, numerous things stand out about the father of communism.
