Epistemic Closure at the Supreme Court
Justice Gorsuch's dissent in *Gundy v.

Yet the government apparently singled out the Schechters as a test case." According to Wikipedia (which on this question is accurate), Shlaes is "an American author and newspaper and magazine columnist ...

The challenges of being on social media and the internet
I was checking on the biography of the person who had written about and translated Saint Epiphanius of Salamis. That’s not important since he’d posted for many ancient writers and Christians.

A survey of users showed that some were booking a car so they could have a nap during their lunch break, away from the disapproving scrutiny of their bosses. One businessman admitted that he preferred to work from the car and would set up an “office” in the front seat. Another user left ba... more »
