Part 1: Hatching a Conspiracy (https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/hatching-a-conspiracy-a-b...)

Part 2: How Chicken Genetics Barons Created the Egg Crisis (https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/fowl-play-how-chicken-gen...)

Part 3 hasn't been released yet, but it's a good read so far.

I'm in the middle of reading Nonverts by Stephen Bullivant, about the variety of people who grew up in a religion and "converted" to no religion. He makes the argument that it's incredibly difficult (bordering on pointless) to make sweeping generalizations about all of them at once. His book is sectioned by which religion these non-believers came from, suggesting that their religious background accounts for a lot of who they are without religion.

My in-laws, who are not wealthy, absolutely love the concierge set-up they have with their doctor. They do utilize it often, which makes it worth it.

I got hit by a car when i was a kid (as a pedestrian), and I have pondered the exact same things before. It was bad luck that I got hit, but was it good luck that the injury caused a coma, which helped my brain protect itself? Very quickly the good/bad binary becomes nonsense.
