Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. I Helped Cre\u00adate the Milo Trolling Play\u00adbook. You Should Stop Play\u00ading Right Into It<\/a> (Ryan Hol\u00adl\u00adi\u00adday, The Observ\u00ader): \u201cIt was a mas\u00adter\u00adful bit of trolling that admit\u00adted\u00adly felt a lot more mean\u00ading\u00adful and excit\u00ading when I was younger than it does to me today: We encour\u00adaged protests at col\u00adleges by send\u00ading out\u00adraged emails to var\u00adi\u00adous activist groups and clubs on cam\u00adpus\u00ades where the movie was being screened. We sent fake tips to Gawk\u00ader, which duti\u00adful\u00adly ate them up.\u201d Fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading. High\u00adly rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded.<\/li>\n
  2. Meet the Pas\u00adtor Who Chal\u00adlenged Africa\u2019s Old\u00adest Dic\u00adta\u00adtor with Sur\u00adpris\u00ading Suc\u00adcess<\/span><\/a> (Ann Thomp\u00adson, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cLast sum\u00admer, Mawarire led nation\u00adal protests against the gov\u00adern\u00adment, includ\u00ading call\u00ading for every\u00adone to stay home from work for a day; hun\u00addreds of thou\u00adsands did. Mawarire was arrest\u00aded in July and charged with incit\u00ading pub\u00adlic vio\u00adlence. After thou\u00adsands ral\u00adlied to sup\u00adport him and a court tossed the charges, Mawarire and his fam\u00adi\u00adly fled to Amer\u00adi\u00adca. The pas\u00adtor returned to Zim\u00adbab\u00adwe alone last week.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Remind me what was so great about trade?<\/span><\/a> (Tim Har\u00adford, Finan\u00adcial Times): \u201c\u2026there are two ways to make cheese in the UK: the obvi\u00adous way, using cows, and the indi\u00adrect way, by mak\u00ading cars and then trad\u00ading the cars in exchange for cheese. The British cheese indus\u00adtry is, in a very real sense, direct\u00adly com\u00adpet\u00ading with the British car indus\u00adtry. Pro\u00adtect one with a tar\u00adiff, and you hurt the oth\u00ader.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Preach\u00ader and the Sher\u00adiff<\/span><\/a> (Nathaniel Rich, NY Times): \u201cThe police said that Vic\u00adtor White III, while detained in the back seat of a locked police car, his hands shack\u00adled behind his back, had com\u00admit\u00adted sui\u00adcide by shoot\u00ading him\u00adself in the back with a hand\u00adgun that an offi\u00adcer had not found dur\u00ading an ear\u00adli\u00ader search.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Not \u2018Lone Wolves\u2019 After All: How ISIS Guides World\u2019s Ter\u00adror Plots From Afar<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Ruk\u00admi\u00adni Cal\u00adli\u00admachi, NY Times): \u201cInves\u00adti\u00adga\u00adtion doc\u00adu\u00adments from Europe show that a grow\u00ading share of attacks bear signs of con\u00adtact with the Islam\u00adic State\u2019s strong\u00adhold, even though the attack\u00ader was ini\u00adtial\u00adly described as act\u00ading alone.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The Com\u00adforts of the Bet\u00adsy DeVos War<\/span><\/a> (Ross Douthat, NY Times): \u201cIt\u2019s not that lib\u00ader\u00adals aren\u2019t gen\u00aduine\u00adly wor\u00adried about every\u00adthing that makes Trump\u00adism poten\u00adtial\u00adly abnor\u00admal and un-repub\u00adli\u00adcan and author\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan. But a more nor\u00admal threat to a deep-pock\u00adet\u00aded inter\u00adest group\u2019s pref\u00ader\u00adences still turned out to be a more nat\u00adur\u00adal ral\u00adly\u00ading point than the specter of creep\u00ading Putin\u00adism.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why Do You Send This Email?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    In the time of King David, the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u201cwho under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u201d (1 Chron 12:32). In a sim\u00adi\u00adlar way, we need to become wise peo\u00adple whose faith inter\u00adacts with the world. I pray this email gives you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar.<\/p>\n

    Disclaimer<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Chi Alpha is not a par\u00adti\u00adsan orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. To para\u00adphrase anoth\u00ader min\u00adis\u00adter: we are not about the donkey\u2019s agen\u00adda and we are not about the elephant\u2019s agen\u00adda \u2014 we are about the Lamb\u2019s agen\u00adda. Hav\u00ading said that, I read wide\u00adly (in part because I believe we should aspire to pass the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/a> and in part because I do not believe I can fair\u00adly say \u201cI agree\u201d or \u201cI dis\u00adagree\u201d until I can say \u201cI under\u00adstand\u201d) and may at times share arti\u00adcles that have a strong par\u00adti\u00adsan bias sim\u00adply because I find the arti\u00adcle stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading. The upshot: you should not assume I agree with every\u00adthing an author says in an arti\u00adcle I men\u00adtion, much less things the author has said in oth\u00ader arti\u00adcles (although if I strong\u00adly dis\u00adagree with some\u00adthing in the arti\u00adcle I\u2019ll usu\u00adal\u00adly men\u00adtion it).<\/p>\n

    Also, remem\u00adber that I\u2019m not report\u00ading news \u2014 I\u2019m giv\u00ading you a selec\u00adtion of things I found inter\u00adest\u00ading. There\u2019s a lot hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the world that\u2019s not mak\u00ading an appear\u00adance here because I haven\u2019t found stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading arti\u00adcles writ\u00adten about it.<\/p>\n
