David Ferris has launched a new blog called "Humble Piety: Meditations on the Politics of Limited Knowledge." About this project, David writes,

Ranging widely in topical content, Ferris ponders knowledge and belief in the public sphere. Often approaching feature-length articles in a style inhabiting the interregnum between academic and pop-political, the long-form posts may be unwieldy for the blogosphere but hopefully justify their verbosity. They should appeal to a wide range of Draper students. Participation through comments is highly encouraged and diversity of perspective deeply valued. Ask a question. Throw out a challenge to think in new light. Share your experience and erudition."
