Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Recen\u00adcy Illu\u00adsions<\/a> (Alan Jacobs, The New Atlantis): \u201cI have come to believe that it is impos\u00adsi\u00adble for any\u00adone who is reg\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly on social media to have a bal\u00adanced and accu\u00adrate under\u00adstand\u00ading of what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the world. To fol\u00adlow a minute-by-minute cycle of news is to be con\u00adstant\u00adly threat\u00adened by illu\u00adsion.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. The Fan\u00adta\u00adsy Of Addic\u00adtion<\/span><\/a> (Peter Hitchens, First Thi<\/span>ngs): \u201cEven hero\u00adin abusers, and gam\u00adblers, can and do just stop. Rea\u00adson has over\u00adcome desire. In which case the whole idea of \u2018addic\u00adtion,\u2019 as a pow\u00ader greater than will, is over\u00adthrown.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Nige\u00adria Could Teach The West A Few Things<\/span><\/a> (Tyler Cowen, Bloomberg View): \u201c\u2026in essence Nige\u00adria has in a few decades cre\u00adat\u00aded an almost entire\u00adly new, coun\u00adtry-sized city [Lagos] built on the ideals and prac\u00adtice of reli\u00adgious tol\u00ader\u00adance.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Com\u00adpas\u00adsion Has \u2018Very Lit\u00adtle Hope\u2019 for India, Sets Dead\u00adline to Shut Down Spon\u00adsor\u00adships<\/span><\/a> (Sarah Zyl\u00adstra, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201c<\/span>The Indi\u00adan gov\u00adern\u00adment objects to Compassion\u2019s Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty, accord\u00ading to the ministry\u2019s tes\u00adti\u00admo\u00adny to US law\u00admak\u00aders. Hin\u00addu nation\u00adal\u00adists have put increas\u00ading pres\u00adsure on Chris\u00adtians in India since the elec\u00adtion of Prime Min\u00adis\u00adter Naren\u00addra Modi in 2014.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Why Trump\u2019s Staff Is Lying<\/a> (Tyler Cowen, Bloomberg View): \u201cIf you want to ascer\u00adtain if some\u00adone is tru\u00adly loy\u00adal to you, ask them to do some\u00adthing out\u00adra\u00adgeous or stu\u00adpid. If they balk, then you know right away they aren\u2019t ful\u00adly with you.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. Will There Be An Inter\u00adnal Revolt Against Trump?<\/span><\/a> (Tevi Troy, Com\u00admen\u00adtary Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cCan\u00addi\u00addate Trump ran on repeal\u00ading Oba\u00admacare, com\u00adbat\u00ading polit\u00adi\u00adcal cor\u00adrect\u00adness, and law and order. Many career offi\u00adcials in these agen\u00adcies have seen their mis\u00adsion in oppo\u00adsite terms\u2014they were tasked with pro\u00admot\u00ading the Afford\u00adable Care Act, main\u00adtain\u00ading speech regimes on cam\u00adpus, and cre\u00adat\u00ading new guid\u00adance on how to mon\u00adi\u00adtor alle\u00adga\u00adtions of racism by police offi\u00adcers.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Planned Parenthood\u2019s Most Mis\u00adlead\u00ading Sta\u00adtis\u00adtic<\/span><\/a> (Joe Carter, Gospel Coali\u00adtion): this arti\u00adcle seems to be inspired by <\/span>a three-minute sting video<\/span><\/a> show\u00ading how dif\u00adfi\u00adcult it is to receive any\u00adthing oth\u00ader than an abor\u00adtion at Planned Par\u00adent\u00adhood. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
