Defensible Spaces review 1/6
Unlike the other reviews I’ve been doing this year, the Defensible Spaces theme started with a general feeling, not with a specific piece of science or a specific input. Later a smart scientific idea fertilized the theme. The first exposition of the theme in July 2015: Dreher is hitting his Benedict Option theme again. Stand…

Defensible Spaces review 2/6
The digital world is built on gang-style traps. After you join Facebook, you’re never out. Every subscription starts as free and then turns into a lifetime obligation. Every program “phones home” and forces daily “updates” to maintain maximum vulnerability and control. (Firefox popped up an update alert as I was typing the previous sentence!) You…

They attribute it to the isolation. I’ve also been having…

Narrowing bandwidth works both ways
Still continuing from Kirn’s theme. Self-defense in a digital world seems to require narrow bandwidths and digital responses. Ideally we should be able to shrug off false flags and intentionally crazy media. Some people can do it, but I can’t. I tried it for a long time, and finally decided that I don’t have enough…

Wonderful article on Africa
This is an EXCELLENT article on a subject I’ve discussed often. Africa is the moral salvation of the world. The article is mainly about Africa’s Catholics, who are REAL Catholics. I love good graphs, and the article is packed with meaningful and clear graphs, including some animations showing how Africa is turning more Christian while…
