This blog offers commentary on all manner of topics — politics, society, science, morality, religion, and whatever else comes to mind. Our goal is to apply rationality and innovative thinking to current events and contemporary issues. We post on things we find interesting to write about, and which we hope you’ll find interesting to read and worth discussing in the comments. There are two of us, A and Z, writing here:
is a graduate student in computer science, having previously studied math, economics, and political science. He is a bit of a political junkie, and has no shortage of other interests, including education, law, and philosophy.
is a graduate student in physics. She follows developments in all branches of science as well as general scientific literacy issues. She’s also interested in a wide variety of other topics, from culture and society to law and policy. She enjoys webcomics and folk music, and would like to have a pet hedgehog someday.
