An amateur philosopher from Columbia University is about to interview for a philosophy position at a secondary school and asks me what else I could tell him about philosophy. I’ve thought up the following points for myself, for him, and for anybody...

Interview with an actual (fictional) GVSU student about the recent heat wave. CHRIS: Thanks for sitting down with me. STUDENT: Thanks for wishing me into existence. C: Shut up. People need to think that you’re real! S: I’m so happy...

Please join us as we create a space for college men to explore male identity development, men & masculinities, social responsibility and violence against women. We are seeking students to be a part of weekly discussions where men can relax and...

Unlimited speeds on sections of the German Autobahn may seem like a form of population control to some, but to me high-speed highways really do make sense. Today, most states have a limit of 70 miles per hour on freeways and turnpikes. A limit that...

Welcome back from Mid-semester Vacation! Hope you’re ready to feel guilty! In case you were away from the internet last week (I know Senor Frogs can have some spotty WiFi), the newest Invisible Children video came out, titled “KONY 2012.”...
