When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Today, we mourn the death of John Allen, Jr., the founding editor @Crux. In 2015, he delivered the second annual Cardinal Foley Lecture @StCharlesSem, for which we remain ever grateful. Visit the event archive at https://t.co/zbLGK8SRlZ. May his soul now rest in peace.
