Pretend intelligence is smartphone quality. The better quality the smart phone the faster frames per second it can record. So for example you can do super slow motion shots of people jumping off the diving board with the most expensive phones. Now bring it back to...
The deepest truths are not true or false like a Boolean variable, they are incarnated. This is partly why people get so angry when you are living a life that, by their philosophy, your outcome should be different. This is why the people conservatives save their...
I don't think it's fair to count people who are forced to practice their religion in religious censuses or at least break the two figures out. Of course this would be impossible to find out because admitting one was forced into their religion isn't something those...

I read The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis and most of it went right over my head. However he does talk about there being a third element in a man besides his brain and his carnal urges. This third thing, the chest, consists of objective truths, Aristotelian virtues...
So now even millennial suicide bombers are too narcissistic: Mustafa Hamid, a former high-ranking Egyptian volunteer with the Afghan mujahideen in the 1980s, described his own frustration with many of the later waves of volunteers arriving to that conflict. “One of...
