Someone could probably write a book (if they haven’t already) about the cycle of technology productizing the removal of friction in the name of convenience only for us to discover that the friction was a load-bearing part of the social compact.

Oh, and you get to read about what Elisabeth Elliot was teaching about manhood and womanhood in the 1970s. Not that anyone wants to revisit that topic today, either.

This is also why the recent Vanderbilt report is so bizarre: the report makes postmodern relativism into some kind of bogeyman. But the problem on American campuses is not “relativism,” it’s the cultic, dogmatic faith in an extraordinarily narrow moral and cultural worldview.

Covenant Seminary
@CovSeminaryOct 16
Along with the entire Presbyterian Church in America, Covenant Theological Seminary mourns the loss of pastor, evangelist, and denominational founding father Rev. Kennedy Smartt, who went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the age of 101. Though we grieve with his family and friends, we also celebrate with them his entrance into the presence of the Savior he loved so much. Read more: covenantseminary.edu/news/re…

Later this morning, in Unseen Things: * how we found the man behind the AI curtain (it had to be 'Her') * why I wouldn't have published 'Theo of Golden' * how the two best novels of the last two centuries answer the problem of evil (are you Team Grossman or Team Dostoevsky?)
