As the dust starts to finally settle on COVID-19 -- and life begins to get back, at least somewhat, to ‘normal’ -- I’ve been reflecting on what has happened over the past couple of years. What are the lessons which we, especially Christians, need to [...]

Are we all ultimately deep down liberals, but just can't see it, or can't bring ourselves to admit it? I mean, are all of us, whether conservative, progressive, libertarian, Marxist, anarchist, actually liberals in practice, whatever our public rhetoric? Yoram Hazony argues that "no human [...]

Today I’m bringing you the very best of Covid Rules and explaining the complicated science behind them. We were treated like idiots for two years. We must never, ever forget. The Rule: We had to wear masks when entering a restaurant and walking to the [...]

Been watching with interest the Elon Musk saga over at Twitter, and reflecting on the way people are trying (and struggling) to conceptualise the platform. There is much talk about it being a kind of town square or public square. This is wrong and misleading. [...]

Thoughts on the election results. Late counting is still underway in the American mid-term elections, but by now we know fairly clearly how things have panned out: there was not a massive red wave for the Republicans as many expected, but there were some gains [...]

Within the space of a year, the West has moved from a world awash with money, high employment levels and ultra-low interest rates, to one of rising interest rates, lower growth and predicted high unemployment. This can be seen across North America, Western Europe and [...]

I find "culture" to be one of the most contested, discussed, yet ill-defined, concepts out there. It is a notoriously difficult concept to define with any precision. I think a good place to start is: shared human practices and habits which are not enforced or [...]
