Parents, Cuddle Your Children – This is my takeaway from a rather interesting article: “No matter how obvious the observation, how eternal the topic, how great the works of literature that have tackled any given theme, or how insightful the philosophers who have studied a matter, the modern mind cannot fathom reaching a conclusion without relying on scientific studies.”

    A La Carte: Charlie Kirk Special Edition

    When articles about Kirk flooded my app this morning, I knew his death was proving to be especially noteworthy. For that reason, I thought it might be worth putting together this special edition of A La Carte. I do so simply to provide a curated collection of articles written by people whose writing I follow…
