Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. \u201cWe May Have To Shoot Down This Air\u00adcraft\u201d<\/a> (Gar\u00adrett Graff, Politi\u00adco): \u201cWe can\u2019t see the air\u00adcraft. We don\u2019t know where it is because we don\u2019t have any radars point\u00ading into the U.S. Any\u00adthing in the Unit\u00aded States was con\u00adsid\u00adered friend\u00adly by def\u00adi\u00adn\u00adi\u00adtion.\u201d A grip\u00adping account of the Flight 93 sto\u00adry.<\/li>
  2. Active Learn\u00ading Works But Stu\u00addents Don\u2019t Like It<\/a> (Alex Tabar\u00adrok, Mar\u00adgin\u00adal Rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion): \u201cA care\u00adful\u00adly done study that held stu\u00addents and teach\u00aders con\u00adstant shows that stu\u00addents learn more in active learn\u00ading class\u00ades but they dis\u00adlike this style of class and think they learn less. It\u2019s no big surprise\u2013active learn\u00ading is hard and makes the stu\u00addents feel stu\u00adpid. It\u2019s much eas\u00adi\u00ader to sit back and be enter\u00adtained by a great lec\u00adtur\u00ader who makes every\u00adthing seem sim\u00adple.\u201d<\/li>
  3. How Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals Invent\u00aded Lib\u00ader\u00adals\u2019 Favorite Legal Doc\u00adtrine<\/a> (Matthew Lee Ander\u00adson, The Fed\u00ader\u00adal\u00adist): \u201c\u2026with\u00adin the many ironies of his\u00adto\u00adry, the social and polit\u00adi\u00adcal instru\u00adments a per\u00adfec\u00adtion\u00adist move\u00adment deploys may be eas\u00adi\u00adly co-opt\u00aded for ends and pur\u00adpos\u00ades nev\u00ader imag\u00adined in their devel\u00adop\u00adment. That is, if late-twen\u00adti\u00adeth-cen\u00adtu\u00adry evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal activists sowed the wind, today\u2019s activists have reaped the whirl\u00adwind.\u201d I love arti\u00adcles that present a top\u00adic I think I know some\u00adthing about and pro\u00adceed to show me some\u00adthing I had nev\u00ader known before.<\/li>
  4. A Famous Argu\u00adment Against Free Will Has Been Debunked<\/a> (Bahar Gholipour, The Atlantic): \u201cIt would be quite an achieve\u00adment for a brain sig\u00adnal 100 times small\u00ader than major brain waves to solve the prob\u00adlem of free will. But the sto\u00adry of the Bere\u00aditschaftspo\u00adten\u00adtial <\/em>has one more twist: It might be some\u00adthing else entire\u00adly.\u201d<\/li>
  5. Vik\u00adtor Orban Among The Chris\u00adtians<\/a> (Rod Dreher, The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive): \u201cOrban is what Trump\u2019s biggest fans wish he was (but isn\u2019t), and what Trump\u2019s ene\u00admies think him to be (but isn\u2019t). If Don\u00adald Trump had the smarts and skills of Vik\u00adtor Orban, the polit\u00adi\u00adcal sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion in the US would be much, much dif\u00adfer\u00adent \u2014 for bet\u00adter or for worse, depend\u00ading on your point of view.\u201d I don\u2019t have much inter\u00adest in Hun\u00adgar\u00adi\u00adan pol\u00adi\u00adtics, but this fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00aded me. <\/li>
  6. When the Cul\u00adture War Comes for the Kids<\/a> (George Pack\u00ader, The Atlantic): \u201cI asked myself if I was mov\u00ading to the wrong side of a great moral cause because its tone was too loud, because it shook loose what I didn\u2019t want to give up. It took me a long time to see that the new pro\u00adgres\u00adsivism didn\u2019t just car\u00adry my own pol\u00adi\u00adtics fur\u00adther than I liked. It was actu\u00adal\u00adly hos\u00adtile to prin\u00adci\u00adples with\u00adout which I don\u2019t believe democ\u00adra\u00adcy can sur\u00advive.\u201d This arti\u00adcle came high\u00adly rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded, but it only got inter\u00adest\u00ading to me about halfway through \u2014 and then wow.<\/li>
  7. Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtives Clash on the Goal of Gov\u00adern\u00adment<\/a> (Jonathan Lee\u00adman, Prov\u00adi\u00addence): \u201cThere is no neu\u00adtral\u00adi\u00adty. The pub\u00adlic square is a bat\u00adtle\u00adground of gods. Our cul\u00adture wars are wars of reli\u00adgion. For the time being, lib\u00ader\u00adal\u00adism keeps us from pick\u00ading up six\u00adteenth-cen\u00adtu\u00adry swords for those wars, which is no small achieve\u00adment. But don\u2019t assume it won\u2019t con\u00adtrol us with the sub\u00adtler tools of a twen\u00adty-first cen\u00adtu\u00adry legal total\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan\u00adism.\u201d Insight\u00adful reflec\u00adtions on how Chris\u00adtians should form their polit\u00adi\u00adcal posi\u00adtions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
