How To Defuse Politics (Before It Turns Violent)

We all hoped 2021 would somehow turn a corner on the insanity of 2020, but recent events at the US Capitol have proved otherwise. The unprecedented storming of the Capitol building by US citizens—by hardcore Trump supporters—has shocked not just America, but the world. US society was already a powder keg. The powder keg was ready to go off, even as Trump lit the fuse. How did this assault on democracy take place in one of the foremost democracies in human history? We expect such events in failed states, not in stable republics. Much of the blame is rightly pointed...

Chris Watkin

If you haven’t heard of the ‘Great Reset’ yet, you probably will soon. If you haven’t heard of the ‘Great Reset’ yet, you probably will soon.

The Surprising Research On Religious People And Sex

Akos Balogh

Religion and sex don’t mix. At least, that’s the narrative of the sexual revolution: religion is prudish, even oppressive, and ruins the sex lives of religious people. But I came across some recent (2019) research that challenges this narrative. In fact, it flips this narrative on its head. The Secular Research: ‘The Ties that Bind: Is Faith a Global Force for Good or Ill in the Family?’ The report is in the form of an essay entitled ‘The Ties That Bind: Is Faith a Global Force for Good or Ill in The Family?’, put out by The Institute for Family...
