After many a debate, I’ve said that I wish I could choose science as my religion.
That’s not to say science belongs in the same category as faith. The good thing about science is that you don’t need to have faith in it; in fact, it wishes you wouldn’t. It demands skepticism. It says, “Please question me. Please argue with me. Please be as credulous as you can. If you find something about me that isn’t right, let everyone know so that we can fix it.” I want science to count as my religion because of the respect religion gets in our culture.

So far diplomacy has not proven to be a strength for President Trump. This should not come as a surprise given his blueprint for diplomacy derives from his self-acclaimed command in aggressive deal-making. Nevertheless, since taking office less than a month ago the President has already managed to antagonize Beijing by muddling in its sensitive relation to Taiwan, and upset Australia’s Prime Minister in what appears to have been a thoroughly unproductive, shortened exchange. Similarly his first telephone conversation with Mexico’s President was cut short amidst inflammatory discussion over his proposed wall. These are just the highlights.
