The Fascist We Deserve: The Authoritarian Ideology of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy
Prominent evangelicals are directing Trump’s sinking ship. That feeds doubts about religion. - "When prominent Christians affirm absurd political lies with religious fervor, nonbelievers have every reason to think: 'Maybe Christians are prone to swallowing absurd religious lies as well. Maybe they are simply credulous about everything.' If we should encounter someone who believes — honestly and adamantly believes — in both the existence of the Easter Bunny and in the resurrection of Christ, it would naturally raise questions about the quality of his or her believing faculties. It would call into question the standard of evidence being applied and muddy the meaning of faith itself."
The Social Life of Forests: Trees appear to communicate and cooperate through subterranean networks of fungi. What are they sharing with one another? - "The razing of an old-growth forest is not just the destruction of magnificent individual trees — it’s the collapse of an ancient republic whose interspecies covenant of reciprocation and compromise is essential for the survival of Earth as we’ve known it."
