Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n

There are a few more links than normal because I missed sending out last weeks\u2019s email.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Northwestern Grad Student Sues Evanston Police; Dashcam Arrest Video Released<\/a> (Laura Podesta, ABC Chicago Eyewitness News): Lawrence is an alumnus of our ministry. This one hits close to home.<\/li>\n
  2. The Sex Bureaucracy<\/a> (Jacob Gersen & Jeannie Suk Gersen, Chronicle of Higher Education): \u201cUnder the rubric of preventing sexual violence, colleges are now deep in the business of providing advice on sex and relationships. And they\u2019re not good at it.\u201d Even from a secular perspective, college administrators are acting absurdly.<\/li>\n
  3. We\u2019re Living Through The First World Cyberwar \u2014 But Just Haven\u2019t Called It That<\/a> (Marin Belam, The Guardian): \u201cIt is important to remember that the internet originally came from defence research\u2026.. we are living through the first time it is being used in anger.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Putin\u2019s Real Long Game<\/a> (Molly McKew, Politico): \u201cWhat both administrations fail to realize is that the West is already at war, whether it wants to be or not\u2026. This war seeks, at home and abroad, to erode our values, our democracy, and our institutional strength; to dilute our ability to sort fact from fiction, or moral right from wrong; and to convince us to make decisions against our own best interests.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Sugar, Explained<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Julia Belluz and Javier Zarracina, <\/span>Vox)<\/span>: \u201cThe backlash against sugar, and the science behind it, is a lot more complicated than it seems.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The Life And Death Of Evangelicalism\u2019s Little Magazine<\/a> (John Schmalzbauer,Comment): this was extremely interesting to me, although probably less so to many others.<\/li>\n
  7. When There\u2019s No Therapist, How Can The Depressed Find Help?<\/a> (Joanne Silberner, NPR): Difficult to excerpt \u2014 very interesting story.<\/li>\n
  8. Sometimes the People Need to Call the Experts<\/span><\/a> (Tyler Cowen, Bloomberg View): There are some good insights here. My favorite line, though, was this: \u201cIt\u2019s a good rule of governance that policy cannot race too far ahead of the citizenry, and I don\u2019t view faculty as a class of people well-suited for that kind of humility.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. The Ideological Reasons Why Democrats Have Neglected Local Politics<\/a> (Emma Green, The Atlantic): \u201cThe progressive project is ultimately about working toward a society built on one unified vision of policy and culture, rather than a diverse array of policies and cultures.\u201d<\/li>\n
  10. Intellectuals For Trump<\/a> (Kelefah Sanneh, New Yorker):  \u201cWe have grown accustomed to hearing stories about the liberal bubble, but the real story of this year\u2019s election was about the conservative bubble: the results showed how sharply the priorities of the movement\u2019s leaders differed from those of their putative followers.\u201d<\/li>\n
  11. Harvard\u2019s George J. Borjas<\/a> (Robert Verbruggen, The American Conservative): \u201cPerhaps oddly for someone who gained immensely from moving from one country to another, Borjas has spent much of his career trying to answer the questions of who loses from immigration and how much.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
