Book Review: ‘The Twilight of the American Enlightenment’ by George Marsden

George M. Marsden’s The Twilight of the American Enlightenment: The 1950s and the Crisis of Liberal Belief (2014) is worth your time, and you should check it out. After finishing it yesterday, I have some thoughts to share with you regarding the oft-repeated phrases of late “trust the experts” and “follow the science.” These sentiments didn’t come…More

Whether It Is Better To Be Kind or Right

Is it better to be kind or to be right? My wife posed a great question to our family at the dinner table on Saturday. After collecting our kids’ insightful answers, I weighed in on this poignant dilemma.More

Clarence Thomas Speaks on Social Media Censorship

Ian Haworth writes for The Daily Wire, “Clarence Thomas Appears To Endorse Outlawing Social Media’s Censorship Of Conservatives: Everything You Need To Know.” Should Big Tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter be regulated as common carriers like Verizon and Comcast and your power company are?

The Dungeon Storming

After a month of playing Valheim with my sons, and friends, and my friend’s sons, we finally acquired scrap iron in the Swamp. Then Eli built a Viking longship; and Solomon built a grinding wheel; and I built a stonecutter, as well as our first stone building. Then we got thoroughly demolished by man-sized mosquitos, plus some…More

Self-Promotion
