Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. How I Redis\u00adcov\u00adered Faith<\/a> (Mal\u00adcolm Glad\u00adwell, Rel\u00ade\u00advant Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cI have always believed in God. I have grasped the log\u00adic of Chris\u00adt\u00adian faith. What I have had a hard time see\u00ading is God\u2019s pow\u00ader. I put that sen\u00adtence in the past tense because some\u00adthing hap\u00adpened to me\u2026\u201d Shared with me by a stu\u00addent.<\/li>
  2. Swe\u00adden, Which Nev\u00ader Had Lock\u00addown, Sees COVID-19 Cas\u00ades Plum\u00admet as Rest of Europe Suf\u00adfers Spike<\/a> (Soo Kim, Newsweek): \u201cAmid fears over a poten\u00adtial sec\u00adond wave of the nov\u00adel coro\u00adn\u00adavirus across Europe, new infec\u00adtions in Swe\u00adden, where full lock\u00addown mea\u00adsures were not imple\u00adment\u00aded, have most\u00adly declined since late June\u2026. Mean\u00adwhile, oth\u00ader parts of Europe have report\u00aded large spikes in new cas\u00ades over the same peri\u00adod, includ\u00ading Spain, France, Ger\u00admany, Bel\u00adgium and The Nether\u00adlands, which have seen increas\u00ades between 40 and 200 per\u00adcent over the last month, accord\u00ading to the lat\u00adest WHO report Wednes\u00adday.\u201d Huh. Real\u00adi\u00adty is com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded and that\u2019s why they make get\u00adting a PhD so ardu\u00adous. <\/li>
  3. John Roberts: Inside his sur\u00adpris\u00ading streak of lib\u00ader\u00adal wins<\/a> (Joan Biskupic, CNN): \u201c\u2026CNN offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes at how jus\u00adtices on the Roberts court assert\u00aded their inter\u00adests, forged coali\u00adtions and nav\u00adi\u00adgat\u00aded polit\u00adi\u00adcal pres\u00adsure and the coro\u00adn\u00adavirus pan\u00addem\u00adic. The jus\u00adtices\u2019 opin\u00adions are pub\u00adlic, but their delib\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions are pri\u00advate and usu\u00adal\u00adly remain secret.\u201d<\/li>
  4. Har\u00advard Cre\u00adates Man\u00adagers Instead of Elites<\/a> (Saf\u00adfron Huang, Pal\u00adla\u00addi\u00adum Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cAt Har\u00advard, the implic\u00adit sig\u00adnal we receive every day is that every\u00adthing requires a man\u00adag\u00ader. Our extracur\u00adric\u00adu\u00adlars, despite vary\u00ading club names, most\u00adly revolve around admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtive work and send\u00ading emails. Emails solic\u00adit\u00ading dona\u00adtions, emails invit\u00ading speak\u00aders to a con\u00adfer\u00adence, emails pub\u00adli\u00adciz\u00ading your mag\u00ada\u00adzine launch with \u2018FREE DONUTS\u2019 dom\u00adi\u00adnat\u00ading the sub\u00adject line. Grant\u00aded, exe\u00adcu\u00adtion of mun\u00addane tasks is nec\u00ades\u00adsary for real work to be done. The skills of sub\u00adtly bump\u00ading an unre\u00adspon\u00adsive team\u00admate, deft\u00adly achiev\u00ading a friend\u00adly-but-pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal tone, and cre\u00adat\u00ading Excel files wor\u00adthy of a UI\/UX design\u00ader will serve you well in cor\u00adpo\u00adrate life\u2026. Very few clubs cre\u00adate a gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtive and imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtive vision for your future self at work, or for what you should be work\u00ading on. Although this is the stat\u00aded pur\u00adpose of a Har\u00advard lib\u00ader\u00adal arts edu\u00adca\u00adtion, cam\u00adpus cul\u00adture has ele\u00advat\u00aded man\u00adage\u00adri\u00adal\u00adism above cre\u00adation\u2026. The result is a class that excels at being judged and excels at man\u00adag\u00ading and exe\u00adcut\u00ading defined tasks.\u201d Quite inter\u00adest\u00ading and very rel\u00ade\u00advant to Stan\u00adford.<\/li>
  5. The Supreme Court\u2019s sur\u00adpris\u00ading deci\u00adsion on church\u00ades and the pan\u00addem\u00adic, explained<\/a> (Ian Mill\u00adhis\u00ader, Vox): \u201cUnlike his fel\u00adlow Repub\u00adli\u00adcan jus\u00adtices, in oth\u00ader words, Roberts appears to believe that courts have a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly strong duty to defer to demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly account\u00adable offi\u00adcials dur\u00ading an his\u00adtoric pub\u00adlic health cri\u00adsis.\u201d I found this analy\u00adsis of Robert\u2019s vote quite inter\u00adest\u00ading. \n
