https://www.scarpellino.com/nok92acck4 I know the climate change debate is emotionally charged, but the ugly politics and paranoid thought processes that flow from it are breathtaking. People have become so blinded by their own sense of righteousness that it often makes rational debate all but impossible. What’s doubly disappointing is when this behavior is exhibited by those who… Continue Reading…
https://www.salernoformazione.com/t5l9yq0b5https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/63juecojp There’s a fascinating, informative discussion thread on the dynamics of societal collapse over at The Oil Drum, prompted by a very readable 10,000 word essay on the fall of the Roman empire, cleverly entitled, “Peak Civilization.” This is really complicated stuff that the news media utterly fails to convey, preferring instead to focus on single-cause… Continue Reading…

With this series, StinkyJournalism.org and SavageMinds.org seek to capture that wider general audience for writings about anthropology.

Dudes, you can’t have it both ways; you can’t engage the public (which is what many of you want) without risking that your work will be interpreted in ways that you never intended.
