Read In Case Of Emergency
A weekly newsletter on ethics, policy & society
Articles
  • People and Their Relationships – Luma Simms, Public Discourse – Many Western countries, including the US, have shifted from a rich understanding of interdependent human relationships and unchosen obligations to one of independence and association based on interest. This has led to a fraying of our social fabric that can only be undone by choosing differently.
     
  • Life in Moria, Europe's Refugee City – Katy Fallon, 1843 – When Turkey recently opened its border with Greece, numerous refugees overwhelmed Greek camps. This story gives a snapshot of those who lost everything trying to get by in an increasingly unstable world.
     
  • What's the Plan? – Ari Schulman, The New Atlantis – We are all going to die (eventually). It would be good if more of us took our time getting there, but that requires a plan. That plan requires a rather systematic, coordinated effort across the world. (Here is one possible plan.)
     
  • Steel Manning First Things – Jake Meador, Mere-O Notes – It is good to preserve lives. It is not good to judge everything by whether or not we are preserving life. Judging the question of corporate worship services during a pandemic takes wisdom, which Jake Meador displays amply here.
Other
  • Floodplain – Sara Groves – This record has a lot of good things to say and good words to sing at a time like this. Check it out if you haven’t already!
