…to all of my Christian readers.
[Update late morning]
Assuming it happened, was the Resurrection the most important event in history?

Being Libertarian In A Pandemic
Thoughts from Eugene Volokh.
Our biggest problem continues to be a paucity of information. The old saying is that knowledge is power, and right now, we’re still pretty powerless in that regard.

Pandemics come and go, but medical masks are eternal.
Innovation, Privacy, And Nature
How the pandemic will change our views of them.
Intelligent Voluntary Cooperation
More from Allison Duettmann, who is co-writing what looks to be an interesting new book with Mark Miller (who I haven’t seen in years).
If you have the time, the next in the playlist is a salon with her and Aubrey De Grey on the value of life extension, but it’s a little over an hour. Foresight has put a lot of videos on line recently from its Vision Weekend last year.
Freeman
I thought I’d posted this, but we’ve lost a giant of math, physics, philosophy and space. Condolences to Esther and the rest of the family. I just saw her at the space transportation conference a few weeks ago.
From over two decades ago, here’s an interview of him by Stewart Brand.
Lots of comments over at Instapundit.
Existential Hope
I was introduced to Allison a couple years ago, but only briefly. I really only got to know her a few days ago, at a Foresight event on lunar governance. I hadn’t realized that she was so interested in space.
Anyway, she is a brilliant and very charismatic young woman, as this video demonstrates.
Oikophobia
Our western self hatred.
The Transhuman Party
Huh.
This is the first time I’d heard of this guy.
Star Trek Transporters
Not a new topic, but a new take on it. You wouldn’t get me on one of those things.
The Socialist Temptation
Last time I was in DC, a couple weeks ago, I tried to have lunch with Iain Murray, but it turned out that he wasn’t downtown, but was at home writing a forthcoming book.
It seems a little spendy, though, if you want to get young people to read it (which should be the goal). Maybe they’ll also have an ebook.
