Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. \u201cWhat is wrong with physi\u00adcians?\u201d (from the com\u00adments)<\/a> (Tyler Cowen, Mar\u00adgin\u00adal Rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion): \u201cThere is a wild dis\u00adcon\u00adnect between \u2018being a physi\u00adcian\u2019 as under\u00adstood by the pub\u00adlic and what you actu\u00adal\u00adly live.\u201d Well worth read\u00ading for any\u00adone con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading med school.<\/li>
  2. On Cards, Cryp\u00adto, and Christ<\/a> (Pratyush Bud\u00addi\u00adga, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cAll I can remem\u00adber was singing a song and sud\u00adden\u00adly feel\u00ading an inter\u00adnal res\u00ado\u00adnance with\u00adin me, a one\u00adness with some\u00adthing far greater and more pow\u00ader\u00adful than any\u00adthing I had ever expe\u00adri\u00adenced. It took me out of where I was in that small church in Sin\u00adga\u00adpore and con\u00adnect\u00aded me with the divine. The sec\u00adond before I didn\u2019t believe in God. After that moment that felt like a life\u00adtime, I knew He was real.\u201d Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded by an alum\u00adnus.<\/li>
  3. Research: Reli\u00adgious Amer\u00adi\u00adcans Less Like\u00adly to Divorce<\/a> (Lyman Stone & Brad Wilcox, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cEar\u00adli\u00ader mar\u00adriage is a known risk fac\u00adtor for divorce. Pre\u00admar\u00adi\u00adtal cohab\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion is too. Since reli\u00adgios\u00adi\u00adty tends to moti\u00advate ear\u00adli\u00ader <\/em>mar\u00adriage but less <\/em>cohab\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion, the effects on divorce are not easy to guess. What we real\u00adly want to know is: Do reli\u00adgious peo\u00adple get divorced less? The answer appears to be yes.\u201d<\/li>
  4. Leaked SoCal hos\u00adpi\u00adtal records reveal huge, auto\u00admat\u00aded markups for health\u00adcare<\/a> (David Lazarus, LA Times): \u201c[The nurse\u2019s] screen\u00adshots, tak\u00aden ear\u00adli\u00ader this year, speak for them\u00adselves. What they show are price hikes rang\u00ading from 575% to 675% being auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly gen\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded by the hospital\u2019s soft\u00adware. The eye-pop\u00adping increas\u00ades are so rou\u00adtine, appar\u00adent\u00adly, the soft\u00adware even dis\u00adplays the for\u00admu\u00adla it uses to con\u00advert rea\u00adson\u00adable med\u00adical costs to billed amounts that are much, much high\u00ader.\u2026 This is sep\u00ada\u00adrate from any addi\u00adtion\u00adal charges for the doc\u00adtor, anes\u00adthe\u00adsi\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgist, X\u2011rays or hos\u00adpi\u00adtal facil\u00adi\u00adties.\u201d Shared with me by an alum\u00adnus.<\/li>
  5. Destruc\u00adtion is Still Mutu\u00adal\u00adly Assured<\/a> (Fred\u00addie deBoer, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cDo I think it would be good if Rus\u00adsia invad\u00aded Ukraine? No. Do I think that Rus\u00adsia invad\u00ading Ukraine would be as bad as a nuclear war between the coun\u00adtries with the two largest nuclear stock\u00adpiles? Also no. Not even close, actu\u00adal\u00adly.\u201d<\/li>
  6. Rob Hen\u00adder\u00adson: <\/a>How \u201cLux\u00adu\u00adry Beliefs\u201d Hurt the Rest of Us<\/a> (Bari Weiss, pod\u00adcast). This is a real\u00adly inter\u00adest\u00ading inter\u00adview.<\/li>
  7. Some COVID links:
