A Scientist and a Pastor Walk Into the Desert ...

Everyone, everywhere, lives "by faith".

I Am Not Funny

To thine own self be true? My truth is I am not funny...

Moral Composure

Our reaction to the COVID outbreak is a moral panic. Not a panic over public health, but a panic over how we deal with risk.

Say It Twice, and Mean It

To be sincere means you are willing to take risks. But all art involves risk. There are no "safe spaces" in art.
