Best Blog Posts 2015 (Science, Skepticism & Science Fiction)

We started this blog in July 2013. Since then, we’ve been posting almost daily.

When considering the popularity of the posts, one thing stands out:  in all but a few cases, popularity declines over time.

As well, the readership of this blog has expanded gradually over time, so most readers have never seen what we consider many of our best posts.

Over the next week or two we’ll put up lists of our best posts from 2015 in the categories of atheism, religion, anarchism, humor, politics, music,  book and movie reviews, writing, language use, and economics.

Because there were considerably more posts in 2014 and 2015 than in 2013, we put up several lists for 2014 and will be putting up a similar number of lists for 2015. We’ve already put up the following:

• Best posts of 2013
• Best Religion and Atheism posts of 2014
• Best Science, Skepticism, and Science Fiction posts of 2014
• Best Humor posts of 2014
• Best Addictions posts of 2014
• Best Music posts of 2014
• Best Anarchism, Libertarianism, Philosophy, and Politics posts of 2014

Here’s the first of the 2015 lists:
