New APPS

Eric Schliesser's post HERE. In praise of the efforts of Profs. Hardcastle, DesAutels, and Fehr (as well as the good people at Boulder's philosophy department who are working to improve their climate) the following:*

**UPDATE: I just received a well-meaning e-mail worried that my tick of using cognates of "depraved" is likely to be particularly unhelpful here, since so many people are already being defensive. Let me just clarify that in the Reformed theological tradition, talk of "depravity" does not ratchet up defensiveness but is actually supposed to have the opposite effect. We are all depraved and the proper response to this is supposed to be grace. This being said, I realize that Presbyterians, Calvinists, etc. make up a vanishingly small proportion of this blog's readership, so point taken.]
