Best of the Infidel, 2013
Darwin Day
The brain is a machine and can interface with man-made machines
Slippery-slope arguments aren't valid
People can change -- I did!
The European Union's arrogant bullying reflects blindness to history
Death is something quite different than we imagine
What really prevented World War III?
Don't judge when you don't know enough
What makes us so different from other animals?
Theocracy will remain a threat as long as the Christian Right dominates the Republican party
Boycotting the Olympics would be the right thing to do
Ads can be fun
Scalia believes in the Devil -- maybe he's right
Condemn moderate Republicans too, not just the crazies
If it looks unreal, it probably isn't real
The culture war is world-wide (my #1 post of the year) -- Huntingdon's "clash of civilizations" model is already obsolete
Secularism has triumphed, at least in Britain
Alan Turing deserved more than a pardon, and he's not the only one

How can you decide which is the best? It's like choosing which child you love the best. LOL! Thanks for a great year of great posts. Informative, funny, and sometimes frightening.
Some tough calls, but I try to focus on what will still be relevant beyond the year when it's written. Thanks!

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
