The Skeptitcher Rebbe: January 2011
http://skeptitcherrebbe.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. I have been watching this BBC series on the Amish, following two Amish men who are essential Orthoprax Amish. They are still believing Christians, but they struggle with trying to keep their Amsih lifestyle while being outcasts in the Amish community due to their alternative worldview. Enjoy and have a great Shabbos/Weekend. See the section with them watching the horses, looks kinda like a Chassidishe gathering). Strict Rules on dress, remind you of anything? Last night: Large F...

The Skeptitcher Rebbe: September 2010
http://skeptitcherrebbe.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. Can you really get moral values from the Torah? I thought the point of the Torah was to open it up, it tells you what is moral and what isn't, and you just accept that.

The Skeptitcher Rebbe: How Identities Cloud Judgement
http://skeptitcherrebbe.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-identities-cloud-judgement.html
Thursday, December 2, 2010. How Identities Cloud Judgement. I recently cam across this article: http:/ www.paulgraham.com/identity.html and I thought I would share it here. Keep Your Identity Small. I finally realized today why politics and religion yield such uniquely useless discussions. As a rule, any mention of religion on an online forum degenerates into a religious argument. Why? Why does this happen with religion and not with Javascript or baking or other topics people talk about on forums? But th...

בציציות ראשי – Fringes. חרדית לשעבר בהווה – Ex-Haredi, Now. 30 ו ת ל ך ו ת בו א. Posted by Ruth Benedict. Asymp; 6 תגובות. זאת לא פרידה, לא אתיימר לדרמטיות-יתר. חוץ מזה שאצא פתטית אם פתאום יתחשק לי לכתוב פה שוב. אולי באמת אפרסם פה מידי פעם קטעים קצרים כפי שהציעה לי חברה חביבה. שאין לי כמעט מה לכתוב פה בנושא היציאה בשאלה. תירוץ שאין לי פנאי רב. בעצם, זמן הפנאי שלי התמזג עם אפליקציה: מד-צעדים. ולקיתונות של מוזיקה כתוסף אפליקטיבי. /תירוץ כך שלא יצא לי לכתוב. ובכן, כך לא היה. א נ יו וייייייי. כבר אין לי משהו...

Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer.

The Praxy Project: February 2012
http://praxyproject.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Towards community. Towards philosophy. Towards what comes next. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. The Psychology of Religious Intuitions: Confirmation Biases and Tim Tebow. This series explores the psychology of intuition and cognitive illusion, specifically as applied to religious intuitions. See. Why does the phone always ring when you're in the shower?
