Without doubt, there are product brands whose customers do not want modernity, especially to the degree that “modernity” means “woke.”

As I told my mom when the scandal broke, I wouldn’t have associated Bud Light with anything even remotely woke, especially transsexuality. Wanna do that with cupcakes? Watercolor painting? Adopting kittens? Fine. Just don’t do it with low-quality beer, pick-up trucks, or cage fighting.

It may seem sad that about half of America has a set of beliefs that compel them to love Donald Trump and reject environmental science, but that’s the reality of the country in which we live.

Is war a bad thing? What about rape and torture?

Do they point to weaknesses that must be strengthened?

I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)

Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
