Caption: Yelling man (Image credit) _______________________________________________________ The June 12 mass killings in Orlando was the worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. A shooter’s rampage through a packed gay nightclub left dozens of people dead and many more wounded.

The Panama Papers Reveal the Solution to Global Suffering

Last updated on: June 21, 2016 at 9:03 pm By Gleb Tsipursky

Caption: Image of an offshore island in the shape of a dollar. (image credit) Humanists can all hold this truth as self-evident: that no one should experience avoidable suffering. As humanists, we focus on our love and care for humanity, and it’s vitally important to put these values into action for us to be honest to who we are. Our world has so much unnecessary harm. Hundreds of thousands are dying from easily preventable diseases such as malaria. Many... Read more

Why We’re Not Rational in Evaluating Others (And What The Science Suggests We Can Do About It)

Last updated on: June 9, 2016 at 11:59 am By Gleb Tsipursky

(image credit) So imagine you are driving on autopilot, as we all do much of the time. Suddenly the car in front of you cuts you off quite unexpectedly. You slam your brakes and feel scared and indignant. Maybe you flash your lights or honk your horn at the other car. What’s your gut feeling about the other driver? I know my first reaction is that the driver is rude and obnoxious. Now imagine a different situation. You’re... Read more

The Song Remains the Same (and it is discordant)

Last updated on: May 26, 2016 at 2:56 pm By Pat Green

One of my favorite movies is Mr Smith Goes to Washington. It is a story about a man who believes in a process (democracy and the constitution) and is given an opportunity to serve that belief he holds precious as a senator. In short time he learns the power brokers that represent the ideals he holds dear are corrupt and will do anything to silence him for their own selfish interests. In the movie you see that they will even... Read more
