wonderful anarchy: October 2013
http://wonderfulanarchy.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
What happens if free will is, or was, or will be determined by God? Sunday, October 27, 2013. It seems like there should be a small gap between the thought "X should happen" and "I will do X". All too often, that thought process is hijacked after "X should happen" into "Somebody should do X". And when everyone is thinking "Somebody should do X", more often than not, "X" doesn't happen. There's a term that applies to this, more or less: the bystander effect. Where does it come from? When this came up in t...

wonderful anarchy: May 2013
http://wonderfulanarchy.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
What happens if free will is, or was, or will be determined by God? Saturday, May 25, 2013. My review of The Great Gatsby. Ralph Waldo Emerson has an essay entitled " Self Reliance. I read it for the first time somewhat recently, and liked it so much that I gave it to all my economics students as a parting reading. You should read it (21 pages). The release of The Great Gatsby two weeks ago was a pretty big deal in my circles. How bout yours? What's the big deal with movie trailers, anyway? I don't go to...

wonderful anarchy: Gratitude
http://wonderfulanarchy.blogspot.com/2014/12/gratitude.html
What happens if free will is, or was, or will be determined by God? Friday, December 26, 2014. Fact is, many gifts cannot be fully appreciated/reciprocated. Great gifts require research and time and thought and sacrifice and things that can never be completely represented in the actual item. There is something lost in the transaction. Let's say the receiver of the gift grasps the full extent of the love put into the gift: how can they express their gratitude? You are not going to be teaching for long....

Photography: Mimi's Ranch
http://jasoncusterphotography.blogspot.com/2011/12/mimis-ranch.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Here's a couple of photos I liked of my good friend Eric DeShan out at his grandma's ranch North of Dallas. Basically, we shoot stuff and ride four-wheelers when we're up there. Good times. Eric helped get me into photography, and you can see some of his work at his website here: EricDeShan.com. Mostly family photojournalism stuff). This photo above was not staged at all. He was just standing there looking for any more snakes, because we had just killed the one below:.

wonderful anarchy: Basketball changed my life.

What happens if free will is, or was, or will be determined by God? Thursday, August 21, 2014. Basketball changed my life. Basketball changed my life. (Part I: my experience). I was the last player on the bench. I didn't get much better over the course of the year, either. I barely played and only scored 10 points in the season, but it awakened something in me. For the first time in my life, I knew what I wanted. I wanted to be good at basketball. To what end had I practiced daily? John Green is basicall...

wonderful anarchy: Endings matter so
http://wonderfulanarchy.blogspot.com/2013/12/endings-matter-so.html
What happens if free will is, or was, or will be determined by God? Wednesday, December 25, 2013. The end of the semester is one of my least favorite times of the year, both as a student and as a paren- I mean, teacher. I began typing "parent" unintentionally. Foreshadowing? As he slammed the door on his way out. I was left on the couch thinking. "hmm, that's unusual behavior, I wonder when I'll see him again." Sub-optimal for sure. I have two scenarios. First, Economics. Their final is group pre...Then,...
