I&#8217;m grateful to Chris and to Maja Niestroj for the interview, the video, and the hospitality while I was in Berlin.

		<description><![CDATA[Scholars tend to be shy or humble, often going to great lengths to avoid anything that might smack of self-promotion or over-confidence. There&#8217;s good reason for this. The academy&#160;trains you to be skeptical, to demand evidence, and to be reserved about matters that you&#8217;ve not yet carefully considered. There are two troubling consequences of this [&#8230;] <a href="http://ericthomasweber.org/5-reasons-scholars-need-facebook-author-pages/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On&#160;returning home from Germany, I was startled to hear a voicemail from a white supremacist campaigning&#160;for President. It repeated the old trope that there is a genocide being perpetrated on the white race. In the United States, we often throw around words like &#8220;Nazi&#8221; and &#8220;genocide.&#8221; Seinfeld&#8217;s funny&#160;&#8220;Soup Nazi&#8221; story is one thing, but ridiculous [&#8230;] <a href="http://ericthomasweber.org/delusions-of-genocide-the-real-thing/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the remarkable things rarely considered among average museum-goers is the somewhat unbelievable fact that nations in the Western world have gone to places like Egypt and taken out of sacred and historical landmarks beautiful cultural treasures. It is true that archaeologists get permits.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll write more about this soon. I&#8217;m still processing what we saw there. It was harshly jarring for my sense of what human beings are capable of doing &#8211; not one or a few troubling individuals, but a coordinated secret police force. Truly sobering. The experience was visceral.
