Science Magazine is running a “Science Voices” series of short essays by members of the science community on the topic of Human Conflict. So far there are four or five, and they cover conflict from a wide range of perspectives. You can see them all here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve written one on conflict in the blogosphere which will probably be up on the Sciencemag site<\/a> by the time you read this.<\/p>\n

The topics I touched on in my short essay are very familiar to you as readers of this and other blogs, and they mostly have to do with social and to a lesser extent political problem in “meatspace” and how those conflicts play out in the blogosphere. A few days back I wrote two “hub” posts intended to tie together some of these discussion. One addressed gun control and homeschooling<\/a> as topics we’ve dealt with here (and on The X Blog<\/a>). That post has engendered quite a bit of discussion about both topics, though mostly in the area of Homeschooling which, in my opinion, is a topic where we have NOT made much progress.<\/p>\n

The other post–Does the Internet need an HR Department?<\/a>–is very closely related to a topic that emerged from the recently Women in Secularism conference organized by the CFI<\/a>. That discussion is currently developing quickly at the Richard Dawkins Foundation site<\/a> and at Almost Diamonds<\/a>. It appears that people are taking my suggestion that we look to professional HR experts to find a good solution to sexism in the secular community and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I hope you pick a spot–this post or one of those referenced above–and join the conversation!<\/p>\n
