But without back-and-forth and face-to-face, we lose a lot of nuance. We need the chance to say, &amp;ldquo;Did you mean&amp;hellip;?&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;Can you clarify&amp;hellip;?&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;Here&amp;rsquo;s how that sounded to me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nuanced, personal conversation allows us to refine our views and learn and grow as people. On the internet, as with one-way TV and radio commentary, often the loudest and least nuanced voices win out, because they&amp;rsquo;re bold and say what we&amp;rsquo;re already thinking. We need more real conversation, especially with people different from us, because that&amp;rsquo;s where we find the tricky, elusive, complicated truth.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://gcnjustin.tumblr.com/post/158476392849</link><guid>https://gcnjustin.tumblr.com/post/158476392849</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:31:40 -0400</pubDate><category>gcnjustin</category><category>nuance</category></item><item><title>A new book is coming!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;After I wrote &lt;i&gt;Torn&lt;/i&gt;, everyone kept asking me whether I’d write another book&amp;hellip;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[&lt;a href="http://geekyjustin.com/a-new-book-is-coming/"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://gcnjustin.tumblr.com/post/158393663054</link><guid>https://gcnjustin.tumblr.com/post/158393663054</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:00:22 -0400</pubDate><category>gcnjustin</category><category>book</category></item><item><title>Surprise!

Too much indifference from people who should know better. Days like today, I feel so tempted to throw in the towel and stop trying to make things better, because it&amp;rsquo;s too much. I think of Moses, exhausted and unable to hold his arms up any longer. Who can bear it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I will not stop. We will not stop. We will take this pain and channel it into righteous anger against the evil of this world, and we will band together as brothers and sisters standing for love and mercy in the face of hatred and violence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we are out of strength, we will pray for more. We will tell our stories and our friends&amp;rsquo; and neighbors&amp;rsquo; stories. We will shine our light into every shadowy corner. We will work for peace. For understanding. For the freedom of every person to live without fear of harm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we WILL change the world.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://gcnjustin.tumblr.com/post/145840876089</link><guid>https://gcnjustin.tumblr.com/post/145840876089</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jun 2016 00:12:38 -0400</pubDate><category>gcnjustin</category><category>orlando</category><category>tragedy</category></item></channel></rss>
