In all the turmoil and focus on newsworthy negativity, it can be hard to remember that over the long haul it "bends to justice".

Absolutely devoured this first season of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast. Gladwell retells the stories of historic events because sometimes the true message doesn't make it into the history books. He is - of course - a great storyteller, but he is also quite outspoken!

As a doubter, I’m of course naturally drawn to the title of this article. I like the term “super belief”: A belief that is always true and re-enforces itself. Besides that these beliefs somewhat annoy me, Mark posits that they’re actually dangerous. So keep on doubting! Whether this all is true or not, I don’t know yet.

Yes, him again. He warns us about trying to be overly politically correct. Not hurting everyone’s feelings sounds like a good idea. Or at least a well-intended one. But, since there is always somebody who could possibly be hurt, it’s a slippery slope. Following its reasoning, it leads to censorship and limits freedom of speech. And, a more empowering way to protect someone, is to let them make their own decision to be offended or not.
