Two philosophers recently surveyed nearly 2,000 of their fellow thinkers and asked them what they believe when it came to God, free will, moral judgment… and zombies, among other things. (But not those kind of zombies.) The full results can be found here. (Spoiler: 72.8% of those surveyed hold to atheism.) Read more

ELSEWHERE: Branding Ourselves With Idolatry?

Last updated on: May 5, 2013 at 9:22 pm By Christopher Hutton

We live in a culture of brand, from Nike to Marvel to Star Wars, and many of us define ourselves by our choice of brands. But how natural is this? Artist/author Debbie Millman did a series of interviews asking this question to modern-day experts on branding in her book Brand Thinking and Other Noble Pursuits. However, if you don’t have time to read the whole book, check out Brain Picking’s cream of the crop, to give you a taste of what... Read more

ELSEWHERE: Statistical Discrepancies

Last updated on: May 4, 2013 at 1:47 pm By Christopher Hutton

As Mark Twain once stated, “There are lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics”. Statistics are often used to manipulate us into believing things which, simply put, are not true. Simple shifts in data can change everything. Thankfully, writers Betsy Stevenson and Justin Wolfers provide a few simple tips for investigating these claims in a recent Bloomburg article. Read more

ELSEWHERE: Regarding The Brilliance of “Parks and Recreation”

Last updated on: May 3, 2013 at 10:35 am By Jason Morehead

Parks and Recreation has recently replaced Community — which, let’s be honest, has had a very disappointing fourth season — as my favorite TV comedy, and Matt Zoller Seitz does a good job of explaining why. Basically, it all comes down to the fact that “[no] current sitcom does a better job of making simple decency seem integral to the fullest enjoyment of life.” Also, it features an epic filibuster by Patton Oswalt regarding the plot of Star Wars: Episode VII.

ELSEWHERE: Expelled for Atheists

Last updated on: May 3, 2013 at 10:39 am By Christopher Hutton

Do you all remember that documentary Expelled with Ben Stein? If you don’t, it was a pretty popular film explaining Intelligent Design. Well, atheist buddies Richard Dawkins (author of The God Delusion) and Lawrence Krauss (author of A Universe from Nothing) are making their own film called The Unbelievers and it seems to be arguing the polar opposite. Is it going to be any good? Stay tuned. Read more
