Toward an Archaeology of Anger
Anger: What is its role? How do we interpret it? How do we wield and transform it? These are questions that may be key to understanding how to engage with those around us as we attempt to restore our world.

The Post-Ideological Age
What is needed is a paradigm that transcends the tribal alliances of the past. It is the ruling elite vs. everyone else, an outlook that blows apart ideological divisions of the past and cries out for new plans of action.
The Man Who Brought Socrates to the Military
One’s moral capital is indistinguishable from personal integrity, and the public’s current lack of trust in the military reflects the departure from traditional codes of ethics and the integration of sham role models into the military hierarchy.
Linear Time and the Art of Staying Human

Death Gods and the Attack on President Trump
I thought of the advocacy for abortion upon abortion…the blurring of the bright line between life and death…the acts of degradation all around us…of obscenities played out in public…of genocidal language amplified in the public arena.
The Fraught Relationship between Science and Power
The biggest breakthroughs in the history of science usually come from the outsiders. So there’s a paradox in that proper science often dies when it makes an unholy alliance with the state.

The History We Make Today
‘Progress’ in the traditional sense under these circumstances? Not likely. Today it seems more advisable to do our best to make history by imagining a position where humanity can start afresh, but with less innocence.
