Potter Squad 2

Hello Again,

So I am going to do much more with my posts soon than just announce our new videos, I promise. I am going to use this blog as a supplement to the youtube channel. In the meantime, the second Potter Squad installment is ready!


In this video we learned:


  • Lucy is super cute
  • Joseph is pretty clever about forming theories about the novels
  • Potter Daddy knows too much about the anatomical temple
  • The Pensieve complicates the mind/body problem
  • Joseph's favorite lesson from this video was the explanation of the anatomical temple
  • Lucy is a big fan of conflict

We should have at least one more video and one of the supplementary blog posts done by the end of this week. Please like, subscribe, and share :)

A Review of David Tennant's Hamlet

He That Increaseth Knowledge Increaseth Sorrow : How Hamlet Demonstrates That Conscience does Make Cowards of Us All  It is among the most pleasurable, and the most maddening, enterprises in life to read The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare. Pleasurable because of its inexhaustible depth, its perfect turns of phrase, and its expansion of the art form that is the English language. Maddening because of the impenetrable layers of madness throughout the text, and within its many characters. At the end of the play, one is left feeling that something profound has been said, but that one is powerless to reiterate what it was. In Stephen Greenblatt’s seminal treatment of Hamlet he identified eleven essential unanswered questions in the play, among which are, “Why does Hamlet delay avenging the murder of his father by Claudius, his father’s brother? How much guilt does Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude . . . bear in this crime? How trustworthy is the ghost of Ha...

The Tedious Web That is The Book of Mormon

     I set out on this project as a gift for my dad. Growing up there was nothing he and I bonded over more than our mutual love for The Book of Mormon. I have since left the faith in which he raised me, so he has a difficult time understanding me these days. With monumental recent additions to the literary scholarship surrounding The Book of Mormon, I thought it would round some edges between us if I could advocate for the book to be taken seriously within academia. This seemed like it would be easy to do. As a believer I read it many times and had positive experiences with the text, which I think have made me a better person. Also, instead of literary reviews coming out of Brigham Young University exclusively, serious Mormon Studies scholarship is now published in the presses of Oxford, University of North Carolina, and Yale. So, I caught up on the best and most current secondary scholarship and began a fresh read of the text. Let me show you what I found. Since few...
