On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources I have found help\u00adful recent\u00adly in think\u00ading about broad\u00ader cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Jesus of Nazareth, Whose Mes\u00adsian\u00adic Mes\u00adsage Cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00aded Thou\u00adsands, Dies at About 33<\/span><\/a> (Sam Roberts, Van\u00adi\u00adty Fair): What would Jesus\u2019 New York Times obit\u00adu\u00adary have looked like? Clever, well-done, and Good Fri\u00adday appro\u00adpri\u00adate.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Anato\u00admy of Doubt<\/span><\/a> (Ira Glass, This Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Life): this is an amaz\u00ading, dis\u00adturb\u00ading sto\u00adry. There are com\u00adpan\u00adion print pieces as well, but lis\u00adten to the pod\u00adcast. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Do We Still Need Pris\u00adons?<\/span><\/a> (Paul Kir\u00adby, Volte\u00adface): this arti\u00adcle by David Cameron\u2019s for\u00admer direc\u00adtor of pub\u00adlic pol\u00adi\u00adcy is full of cre\u00adative ideas. Two relat\u00aded thoughts worth pon\u00adder\u00ading: the Bible nev\u00ader com\u00admands a gov\u00adern\u00adment to build pris\u00adons, and Jesus said He came to set the pris\u00adon\u00aders free. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. How well online dat\u00ading works, accord\u00ading to some\u00adone who has been study\u00ading it for years<\/span><\/a> (Rober\u00adto Fer\u00add\u00adman, Wonkblog): this an inter\u00adview with a Stan\u00adford prof.  \u201cIt\u2019s kind of super\u00adfi\u00adcial. But it\u2019s super\u00adfi\u00adcial because we\u2019re kind of super\u00adfi\u00adcial; it\u2019s like that because humans are like that. Judg\u00ading what some\u00adone else looks like first is not an attribute of tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy, it\u2019s an attribute of how we look at peo\u00adple. Dat\u00ading, both mod\u00adern and not, is a fair\u00adly super\u00adfi\u00adcial endeav\u00ador.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A Dia\u00adlog On Race and Speech at Yale<\/span><\/a> (Conor Frieder\u00ads\u00addorf, The Atlantic): the colum\u00adnist has a very insight\u00adful email inter\u00adchange with a Yale under\u00adgrad. <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Ban\u00adning Cred\u00adit Checks Harms African-Amer\u00adi\u00adcans<\/span><\/a> (Tyler Cowen): \u201cIn states that passed cred\u00adit-check bans, it  became eas\u00adi\u00ader for peo\u00adple with bad cred\u00adit his\u00adto\u00adries to com\u00adpete for employ\u00adment. But dis\u00adpro\u00adpor\u00adtion\u00adate\u00adly, they seem to have elbowed aside black job-seek\u00aders.\u201d \u2014 read a more thor\u00adough sum\u00adma\u00adry <\/span>at Wonkblog<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. A clus\u00adter of voic\u00ades speak\u00ading about the reli\u00adgious free\u00addom case recent\u00adly argued before the Supreme Court:<\/span>\n
