From a review in #TheGuardian
What I know from others' summaries makes me think these profs do protest "partisan bias" too much, suggesting that the #pandemic wasn't as bad as the political response, and that #maskMandates and #lockdowns should have been based on public opinion.
After a few decades on the #internet the highlighted text told me everything I needed to know.

The text of the article shown is: Policy learning seemed to be short-circuited during the pandemic,” Lee said. “It became so moralized, like: ‘We’re not interested in looking at how other people are [responding to the pandemic], because only bad people would do it a different way from the way we’re doing’.”
She and Macedo spoke to the Guardian by video call. The Princeton University professors both consider themselves left-leaning, and the book grew out of research Macedo was doing on the ways progressive discourse gets handicapped by a refusal to engage with conservative or outside arguments. “Covid is an amazing case study in groupthink and the effects of partisan bias,” he said.

Unique ≠ True: The False Marketing of #Christianity

" #Christian #apologists often claim that #Jesus' presence in multiple #religions proves his #divinetruth—but that #logic doesn’t hold up. In this video, I break down the flawed reasoning behind the idea that uniqueness equals truth. We’ll explore which religions actually claim Jesus, which don’t, and why cross-cultural mentions aren’t the evidence they’re made out to be. "
#God #Forgives #Rapists & #Murderers… But Not This?

#Christians claim that God is all-forgiving—so why does the #Bible say there's one sin He can’t #forgive? In this video, I break down the doctrine of #blasphemy against the #HolySpirit, examining the verses, #contradictions, and #theological confusion surrounding it. We also expose how #Christian #pastors and #apologists can’t even agree on what this sin actually is or if it can be committed today.
