People don't believe in conspiracy theories because they find them rationally compelling. Rather, these ideas hijack an individual's need for a sense of purpose and belonging. They prey on our desire for the world to be thus regular and make sense. However, the consequences of a conspiracy theory tend to be more personal than what the media would l…

You do not have control over the circumstances that surround you. However, you may have a moral obligation to how you live through them. Which are you?

The Secular Age can be marked as one where mechanism of belief commonly assumed considers religion one option amongst many.

Many of us grew up in a world where to join the military meant to serve our country. Baked into that ideological pie was a hierarchy where, the more special your operations, the more value you might have, at least on social media.

Might Makes Right. No Truth but Power. History is written by the Victor. These phrases often say one thing, but try to communicate another. When we casually say that might makes right, we aren't typically saying that morality comes from greater strength.

The difference between what can be called the Gun Culture, the Industry, and those in support of the Second Amendment isn't a single overlapping circle of a Venn Diagram.

In violence, as in war, two concept stand in tension with one another: proportionality and utility.

We live in the post information age, were it's…
