Negative Space: morality
- A Canticle for Leibowitz
- “Canticle” is unquestionably the best story of mankind’s demise since revelation itself. Miller traverses a thousand years beyond the apocalypse, the “Flame Deluge”, as seen through the eyes of a small order of monks in the southwest desert of the United States.
- Lewis Carroll’s Outland
- Sylvie and Bruno—a story of the faery realm of Outland—is one of Lewis Carroll’s lesser-known works. It has much of the charm, and little of the confusion, of his “Alice in Wonderland” works.
- Religious upbringing study uses odd definition of altruism

The religious upbringing altruism study is a failure because the researchers failed to define their moral terms. You can’t study altruism and judgmentalism unless you come up with a definition of the terms. Their definition appears to have been “willing to give money to social science researchers”.
