Heavy Things Lightly Quantifying Religion | WAWTAR #135
Last week was Juju, both here in the Americas and overseas, and the Old World mindset that accompanied it. And like magic, religion would be "explained" to us by those uncomfortable with mystery. Join us as we peel back history to reveal the roots of Babylon (maybe) and future America's DNA in the guise of the 5x winner of best named things, the New York State Buffalo Normal School. AKA the first public school.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
