The Monday Morning Memo

Heraclitus_StringTheory_John

1. String Theory, Heraclitus, and John In the opening chapter of Genesis, the only information we’re given about the creation of our universe is that, “God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” And God continued to say this and that until everything existed that needed to be. 1 So Genesis says God spoke our […]

Stupid People

“In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.” “Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent […]

Diving

In this inexplicable, unedited, live-action photo, Hollister is pushing his younger brother, Gideon, into the pool. But where did Gideon come from? Notice the difference in the colors of their swim trunks.

“The minute the phrase ‘having it all’ lost favor among women, wellness came in to pick up the pieces… Before we knew it, the wellness point of view had invaded everything in our lives: Summer-solstice sales are wellness. Yoga in the park is wellness. Yoga at work is wellness. Yoga in Times Square is peak wellness. […]

Meeting Them Where They Are

Reading that Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Christian anarchist, I had an unexpected thought, so I asked Google, “What is the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian?” Six-tenths of a second later, The Goog told me – in a highly visible block at the top of the Search Engine Results Page: “An anarchist is an extreme […]

“Think of all the stories you’ve heard, Bast. You have a young boy, the hero. His parents are killed. He sets out for vengeance. What happens next?” Bast hesitated, his expression puzzled. Chronicler answered the question instead. “He finds help. A clever talking squirrel. And old drunken swordsman. A mad hermit in the woods. That […]

Kvothe and Denna

The common room smelled of smoke and sweat and spilled beer. I was glad when Denna asked if I wanted to take a walk. Outside was the warm quiet of a windless spring night. We talked as we wended our slow way through the wild bit of forest beside the inn. After a while we […]

Proof_of_Elvis_No_Wait_Elves

Belief is not a matter of evidence. It is a matter of choice. This is why a person convinced against their will, remains unconvinced, still. Evidence rarely informs our beliefs. More often, our beliefs filter and interpret the evidence. If you believed that elves caused rain, every rainy day would be proof of elves. Objective […]

Yo, Indy, You seem like the kind of guy who would appreciate a podcast that interviews inanimate objects. Not so sure about the Wiz, though, so you should probably check it out before passing it on. http://www.everythingisalive.com/ The 81-second trailer will give you the vibe. About halfway through the first episode, I lost it. Took […]

Dear Mr. Goodrich, Thank you for giving my family one of Sadie’s puppies. I keep her in my room with me and she lets me know who I can trust. Are Wheaten Terriers the only dog that gives a Wheaten Greetin’? My friend Monica says her dog does that, too, and it’s not a Wheaten […]
