On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources about broad 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.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trav\u00adel\u00ading a lot this week, so I haven\u2019t done as much online read\u00ading as nor\u00admal. A few of these links are actu\u00adal\u00adly left\u00adovers from pre\u00advi\u00adous weeks that did\u00adn\u2019t quite make the orig\u00adi\u00adnal cut. Let me know if I over\u00adlooked some\u00adthing you think I\u2019d find inter\u00adest\u00ading!<\/p>\n

Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Why I\u2019m Hap\u00adpy My Son Mar\u00adried at 20<\/span><\/a> (Rebec\u00adca Brew\u00adster Steven\u00adson, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cThe preva\u00adlent mes\u00adsage in our cul\u00adture is that young adult\u00adhood is the time to build a foun\u00adda\u00adtion for a healthy life. Those in their ear\u00adly 20s are encour\u00adaged to pur\u00adsue edu\u00adca\u00adtion, trav\u00adel, and gain life expe\u00adri\u00adence, all unhin\u00addered by wed\u00adlock. Mar\u00adriage is viewed by many as some\u00adthing that comes only after ade\u00adquate time to devel\u00adop per\u00adson\u00adal iden\u00adti\u00adty and estab\u00adlish a strong finan\u00adcial foot\u00ading. But inher\u00adent in this delay is a real\u00adi\u00adty we as par\u00adents are very cog\u00adnizant of: Young adults, like all of us, are sex\u00adu\u00adal beings. When mar\u00adriage is delayed, so is the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to expe\u00adri\u00adence sex\u00adu\u00adal inti\u00adma\u00adcy with\u00adin God\u2019s para\u00adme\u00adters of a mar\u00adriage covenant.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Stan\u00adford\u2019s Pro\u00adposed Renam\u00ading Prin\u00adci\u00adples<\/span><\/a>: when I read the prin\u00adci\u00adples, my ini\u00adtial thought was that Serra\u2019s name was secure on cam\u00adpus. But<\/span> at least one stu\u00addent strong\u00adly dis\u00adagrees<\/span><\/a>.  <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The Per\u00adils of Paid Con\u00adtent<\/span><\/a> (Andrew Pot\u00adter, In Due Course): \u201cWhen I was a stu\u00addent jour\u00adnal\u00adist, it was axiomat\u00adic that adver\u00adtis\u00ading was the biggest threat to inde\u00adpen\u00addent media. Putting your liveli\u00adhood in the hands of cap\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adists meant, ipso fac\u00adto, doing their bid\u00adding. Expe\u00adri\u00adence is a great teacher though, and when I start\u00aded work\u00ading as an edi\u00adtor at a news\u00adpa\u00adper, I was pleas\u00adant\u00adly sur\u00adprised to dis\u00adcov\u00ader that you didn\u2019t wake up every day to a swarm of calls from out\u00adraged adver\u00adtis\u00aders threat\u00aden\u00ading to pull their cam\u00adpaigns if we didn\u2019t smarten up\u2026.  But you know who does com\u00adplain a lot? Sub\u00adscribers do, end\u00adless\u00adly.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Last Fall This Schol\u00adar Defend\u00aded Colo\u00adnial\u00adism. Now He\u2019s Defend\u00ading Him\u00adself.<\/a> (Vimal Patel, Chron\u00adi\u00adcle of High\u00ader Edu\u00adca\u00adtion): \u201cThere are two sep\u00ada\u00adrate issues. One is the sub\u00adstan\u00adtive issue of colo\u00adnial\u00adism. I think the acad\u00ade\u00admy remains high\u00adly illib\u00ader\u00adal and intol\u00ader\u00adant of my view\u00adpoint. It remains the case that most of the peo\u00adple who sup\u00adport\u00aded me didn\u2019t sup\u00adport me because they agreed with my argu\u00adment. I think my sup\u00adport\u00aders came in two types: those who agreed with my argu\u00adment, and oth\u00aders who said that even bad argu\u00adments that have gone through the process of being pub\u00adlished should be respond\u00aded to, not silenced.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Empire State Of Mind<\/span><\/a> (Doug Mack, Slate): \u201cIf you can find Iowa on the map and rat\u00adtle off a few facts about the state (<\/span>corn, cau\u00adcus\u00ades, Field of Dreams, a real\u00adly big state fair<\/span><\/i>), you should be able to do the same for Puer\u00adto Rico, which has a larg\u00ader pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion. That\u2019s espe\u00adcial\u00adly impor\u00adtant for lead\u00aders in Wash\u00ading\u00adton, giv\u00aden that the ter\u00adri\u00adto\u00adries have no full-fledged con\u00adgres\u00adsion\u00adal rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion of their own, and giv\u00aden that a cer\u00adtain base\u00adline lev\u00adel of knowl\u00adedge is a pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsite for sound pol\u00adi\u00adcy\u00admak\u00ading.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The Cam\u00adbridge Ana\u00adlyt\u00adi\u00adca Scan\u00addal, in 3 Para\u00adgraphs<\/span><\/a> (Robin\u00adson Mey\u00ader, The Atlantic): \u201cAbout 270,000 peo\u00adple installed Kogan\u2019s app on their Face\u00adbook account. But as with any Face\u00adbook devel\u00adop\u00ader at the time, Kogan could access data about those users or their friends. And when Kogan\u2019s app asked for that data, it saved that infor\u00adma\u00adtion into a pri\u00advate data\u00adbase instead of imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly delet\u00ading it. Kogan pro\u00advid\u00aded that pri\u00advate data\u00adbase, con\u00adtain\u00ading infor\u00adma\u00adtion about 50 mil\u00adlion Face\u00adbook users, to the vot\u00ader-pro\u00adfil\u00ading com\u00adpa\u00adny Cam\u00adbridge Ana\u00adlyt\u00adi\u00adca. Cam\u00adbridge Ana\u00adlyt\u00adi\u00adca used it to make 30 mil\u00adlion \u2018psy\u00adcho\u00adgraph\u00adic\u2019 pro\u00adfiles about vot\u00aders.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. John Bolton Is Right About the U.N.<\/span><\/a> (Bret Stephens, New York Times): \u201cThe U.N. is a nev\u00ader-end\u00ading scan\u00addal dis\u00adguised as an ever\u00adlast\u00ading hope. The hope is that dia\u00adlogue can over\u00adcome dis\u00adtrust and col\u00adlec\u00adtive secu\u00adri\u00adty can be made to work in the inter\u00adests of human\u00adi\u00adty. Real\u00adi\u00adty says oth\u00ader\u00adwise. Trust is estab\u00adlished by deeds, not words. Col\u00adlec\u00adtive secu\u00adri\u00adty is a recipe for inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal paral\u00ady\u00adsis or worse. Just ask the peo\u00adple of Alep\u00adpo.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Things Glen Found Interesting A While Ago<\/h3>\n

    Every week I\u2019ll high\u00adlight an old\u00ader link still worth your con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion. This week we have The world will only get weird\u00ader<\/span><\/a> (Steven Coast, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cWe fixed all the main rea\u00adsons air\u00adcraft crash a long time ago. Some\u00adtimes a long, long time ago. So, we are left with the less and less prob\u00ada\u00adble events.\u201d The piece is a few years old so the exam\u00adples are dat\u00aded, but it remains very intrigu\u00ading. (first shared in <\/span>vol\u00adume 67<\/span><\/a>) <\/span><\/p>\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
