Articles I Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Chi\u00adna\u2019s Chris\u00adt\u00adian Future<\/span><\/a> (Yu Jie, First Things):  Wow. This is very much worth your time.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The ISIS Cor\u00adre\u00adspon\u00addent<\/a> (Isaac Chotin\u00ader, Slate): this is time\u00adly in light of the ter\u00adror\u00adist attack in Nice, France. \u201cI think there is an enor\u00admous amount of mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstand\u00ading about this ques\u00adtion that we get asked over and over again: Does ISIS direct this attack or does ISIS inspire this attack? ISIS-inspired attacks are part of their strat\u00ade\u00adgy; are part of their design; are part of what they\u2019re try\u00ading to do. That\u2019s what peo\u00adple miss.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Ten Thoughts On Speak\u00ading (And Not) In A Dig\u00adi\u00adtal World<\/span><\/a> (Kevin DeY\u00adoung, Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201c<\/span>A pas\u00adtor does not have time to be a pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal pun\u00addit. And even if he did, it\u2019s fair to won\u00adder whether he should be.\u201d DeYoung\u2019s thoughts par\u00adal\u00adlel many of my own. If you won\u00adder why I am often silent on social media, read this.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. How High\u00adly Reli\u00adgious Amer\u00adi\u00adcans\u2019 Lives Are Dif\u00adfer\u00adent From Oth\u00aders<\/span><\/a> (Michael Lip\u00adka, Pew Research): inter\u00adest\u00ading \u2014 both the dif\u00adfer\u00adences and sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adi\u00adties.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Two Kinds Of Vot\u00ading, Two Kinds Of Dis\u00adrup\u00adtion, and Two Kinds of Right\u00adeous\u00adness<\/span><\/a> (Sen\u00ada\u00adtor Ben Sasse, Medi\u00adum): \u201cTo us, vot\u00ading is not mere\u00adly about 1\/130-mil\u00adlionth of decid\u00ading who should pre\u00adside over 1\/3 of the fed\u00ader\u00adal gov\u00adern\u00adment from 2017 to 2021. To us, the act of vot\u00ading is also a civic duty that tells peo\u00adple what we think Amer\u00adi\u00adca means, what we want to teach our kids about moral lead\u00ader\u00adship, what face we want Amer\u00adi\u00adca to present to the world, and what sort of can\u00addi\u00addates we want more of in com\u00ading years.\u201d I know noth\u00ading about Sen\u00ada\u00adtor Sasse\u2019s vot\u00ading record \u2014 I just know this is an out\u00adstand\u00ading essay.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. When Cor\u00adre\u00adla\u00adtion Does Imply Cau\u00adsa\u00adtion<\/a> (Joshua Krisch, Voca\u00adtiv): \u201cAddi\u00adtive noise mod\u00adel test\u00ading is based on the sim\u00adple assump\u00adtion that there is always some sta\u00adtis\u00adti\u00adcal noise cling\u00ading to the key vari\u00adables in any experiment\u2014areas where the data becomes fuzzy and unre\u00adli\u00adable due to mea\u00adsure\u00adment errors. Regard\u00adless of any link, each vari\u00adable will have its own unique noise sig\u00adna\u00adture, with one caveat: If X caus\u00ades Y, then the noise in X will be able to con\u00adt\u00ada\u00adm\u00adi\u00adnate Y, but the noise in Y will not able to do the same to X. Because a cause can affect an effect, but an effect can\u00adnot affect a cause (read that last line a few times). \u2026 The key, then, is to fol\u00adlow the noise con\u00adt\u00ada\u00adm\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion.\u201d See the under\u00adly\u00ading paper<\/a>.<\/li>\n
