Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

…te segregation and economic favoritism. When I spoke with Rothstein on the phone, he underscored the long-term effects of this last policy. During the 1940s and 1950s, suburban subdivisions were built in St. Louis, and throughout the country, using federal loans stipulating that no homes be sold to African Americans. Priced at about $125,000 in today’s dollars, these were affordable—with a mortgage—to working class families, black or white. Yet bl…

The Contested Religious Powers of Baseball on Display in Cuba

…ment of 50,000, as if the faithful at church. The devotion was audible, as tickets were distributed to friends of the Cuban government and not through a public sale. Here the religious nature of the Cuban sporting event is acknowledged only to be dismissed as inauthentic. The patriotic, quasi-religious crooning is suspicious because of its apparent production by the Cuban government, which distributed tickets to friends. Morosi recognizes religiou…

Mormon Women Knock at the Door, Are Turned Away

…alifies as an insider. Women traveled far to be part of the Ordain Women effort. Julia Murphy, who flew in from her home in Heidelberg, Germany, said, “I know it’s a long way.  It’s worth it!”   Heather Olson Beal of Nacogdoches, Texas, said, “This wasn’t easy for me to do.  I’ve lived with a lot of fear and I can’t say publicly a lot of the things I feel about gender inequality in the church. This is a way to say it.” “I hope that the leaders of…

…me shows), even when something unintentional happens—say you know that the airline didn’t intentionally keep you from flying—the question that humans often pose is, “Was this preventable?” “Could they have done something to prevent that?” And that’s when we wonder—well, who could have done something to prevent it? The person at the counter? The pilot? The CEO? We don’t know, and so we have, in a sense, a certain disorientation and don’t know to wh…

CNN’s Disastrous ‘Town Hall’ with Trump Put the Country at Risk

…ance after their officers were overrun by Trump’s mob. As a result of my efforts that day I was severely beaten, struck numerous times with a taser, and suffered a heart attack as well as a traumatic brain injury. One police officer died, and several others took their own lives in the wake of that barbaric day. It is not just that Trump’s lies and political rhetoric sparked an uprising at our nation’s Capitol. Trump, as U.S. president, lied in an…

Evolution and Creation Fight to the Death: What Emerges from the Ashes

…ysicist Robert L. Park, frequent critic of “voodoo science,” insisted that Collins’ conversion was no more than a “hormonal rush” with no higher meaning. By and large, however, the criticisms of the new NIH director have been muted. The reason: Collins is not “soft on evolution.” He is an unapologetic defender of the Darwinian consensus. What makes this criterion so important? And why do some biologists (the so-called “New Atheists,” led by their…

Fight to the ‘Death’ and Go ‘Hungry’ at Hunger Games Camp

…re entirely thinkable. Just look at what most girls do to their Barbies. Unfortunately, what’s also thinkable, right now, is an American government that tortures inmates being held indefinitely without charges, a government rather like the imagined government in Collins’ dystopian future. After camp counselors became concerned about the campers’ focus on the language of killing, they altered the goal of the game, which would now be “collecting liv…

Although I can’t find an official number, a casino employee tells us over 5,000 tickets have been sold; 5,000 pilgrims who’ve made the trek from around the country to pay their respects to Annabelle, and are willing to wait hours to do so. On the convention floor, an eclectic group of vendors hocks their wares, from Ouija boards and books about ghost hunting to bath bombs shaped like horror movie icons. The…

Spiritual Unplugging, Or What to Do When There is Wifi at the Ashram

…self-interrogation boiled, my hand extended to the right. I reached for my phone, but I found nothing. At first I laughed at my instinct, my muscle memory. The phone, with its glowing screen, gave me solace and control. But I was tied to my cushion for another hour, and in this ashram for another day, so email would have to wait. I panicked. My heart raced. Would my editor be asking for me? Would a reply from that politician’s secretary sit unansw…
