I’m very sorry not to have time to post here. On the BIG THINK front, I’ve been trying to mainstream pomocon ideas on happiness, evolution, and all that. In the thread, I called Darwinian Larry a closet Epicurean. Here’s what I meant: The theory of evolution for him is really a means for purging from himself and us unreasonable hopes and fears, such as the obsessions associated with love and death. But he can’t explain why we have unreasonable hopes and fears etc.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
