This tribal, “they’re-not-really-one-of-us” impulse creates a churning backwash in which probably-incorrect ideas proliferate without encountering real challenge. The questionable theology in books like The Shack and The Boy Who Went to Heaven may often be shrugged off because the authors are “in the tribe”: they identify as evangelicals and speak the right conceptual language. Over time, bad ideas become more and more entrenched through repetition and a lack of internal self-policing.

Venezuela’s Road to Literal Serfdom
There is no better book than Friedrich Hayek’s classic The Road to Serfdom to explain the popular delusions that helped to virtually eliminate the market economy and civil society in Venezuela. Writing during the depths of World War II, Hayek intended his book as a warning “to the socialists of all parties.” What happened in Venezuela can happen wherever a critical mass of the population begins to hold certain delusionary beliefs.
How Government Encourages Food Waste
To reduce food waste, get rid of the rules that promote it in the first place. Earlier this year, Italy adopted measures to reduce the quantity of food that's wasted in the country. The laws encourage the use of doggy bags, which are uncommon on the continent. More importantly, they eliminate longstanding rules that have made it difficult or impossible for farmers and grocers to donate food to those in need. For those readers unfamiliar with the term, food waste means "food that completes the food supply chain up to a final product, of good quality and fit for consumption, but still does not get consumed because it is discarded, whether or not after it is left to spoil."

Actor: Western Civilization is in Danger of Losing
John Rhys-Davies is famous for playing Sallah in the Indiana Jones movies, and more recently, Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. But he has also become an outspoken defender of the West against its perceived enemies, both within and without. In an interview last week with FOX411, he decried the growing intolerance that he sees among his fellow actors, some of whom “believe their opinion is the only right one”: “I love my fellow actors but sometimes I think that their opinions are wrong. True art asks uncomfortable questions and if you find yourself agreeing with everyone around you all the time, you should wonder what your significance as a citizen and as an artist is.” Tolerance for other opinions, he added, is a distinguishing mark of Western civilization, which “is kept alive and vital by debate.”

Uncle Sam goes for gold, too: Up to $9,900 per Olympic gold medal
Olympic athletes who bring home medals also bring home cash — $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze — paid for by the United States Olympic Committee. Like any prize winner, from a jackpot hitter to a Nobel Prize recipient, the athletes are taxed because Olympic medals and cash bonuses are considered income, said Steven Gill, associate professor of accounting at San Diego State University.
