Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a Cli\u00admate Sci\u00aden\u00adtist Who Believes in God. Hear Me Out.<\/a> (Katharine Hay\u00adhoe, New York Times): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u2026I believe that evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals who take the Bible seri\u00adous\u00adly already care about cli\u00admate change (although they might not real\u00adize it). Cli\u00admate change will strike hard against the very peo\u00adple we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re told to care for and love, ampli\u00adfy\u00ading hunger and pover\u00adty, and increas\u00ading risks of resource scarci\u00adty that can exac\u00ader\u00adbate polit\u00adi\u00adcal insta\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty, and even cre\u00adate or wors\u00aden refugee crises.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Texas Tech and, as it hap\u00adpens, spoke at Stan\u00adford last night<\/a>.<\/li>
  2. Split the Cedars of Lebanon: Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals Bal\u00adance Prayer, Protest, and Pol\u00adi\u00adtics in Ongo\u00ading Upris\u00ading<\/a> (Jayson Casper, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There can be no uni\u00adty with pro\u00adtest\u00aders curs\u00ading and hurl\u00ading hatred at the polit\u00adi\u00adcal class, he said, urg\u00ading Chris\u00adt\u00adian sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion from such behav\u00adior. If cit\u00adi\u00adzens are unsat\u00adis\u00adfied, they should vote their offi\u00adcials out. And as for the eco\u00adnom\u00adic trou\u00adbles, he believes a great God will take care of their needs. Oth\u00ader pas\u00adtors have endorsed demon\u00adstra\u00adtions as a vehi\u00adcle for change. Some have called for prayer and fast\u00ading. Either way, many of the pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly apo\u00adlit\u00adi\u00adcal have become engaged.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/li>
  3. The New Par\u00adty of the Rich<\/a> (Darel E. Paul, First Things): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The rich\u00adest 15 per\u00adcent of House dis\u00adtricts are now rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00aded by 56 Democ\u00adrats and just 10 Repub\u00adli\u00adcans. In 2018, vot\u00aders in America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wealth\u00adi\u00adest coun\u00adties, cities, and neigh\u00adbor\u00adhoods made a deci\u00adsive turn toward the Democ\u00adrats, and now America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal par\u00adty of the left\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhether it admits it or not\u00e2\u20ac\u201dis the par\u00adty of the rich.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of polit\u00adi\u00adcal sci\u00adence at Williams Col\u00adlege.<\/li>
  4. How I Got Rich On The Oth\u00ader Hand<\/a> (Derek Sivers, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not how much you have. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the dif\u00adfer\u00adence between what you have and what you spend. <\/strong>If you have more than you spend, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re rich. If you spend more than you have, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not. If you live cheap\u00adly, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to be free.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d This is real\u00adly sim\u00adple and real\u00adly true. Empha\u00adsis in the orig\u00adi\u00adnal.<\/li>
  5. The Church, inten\u00adsive kin\u00adship, and glob\u00adal psy\u00adcho\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal vari\u00ada\u00adtion<\/a> (Schulz et al, Sci\u00adence): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u2026we pro\u00adpose that the West\u00adern Church (i.e., the branch of Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty that evolved into the Roman Catholic Church) trans\u00adformed Euro\u00adpean kin\u00adship struc\u00adtures dur\u00ading the Mid\u00addle Ages and that this trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion was a key fac\u00adtor behind a shift towards a WEIRD\u00ader psychology.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d This is real\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00ading if it holds up.\n
