Joshua Wolf Shenk, editor-in-chief at Believer magazine and artistic and executive director of the Black Mountain Institute, handed in his resignation after flashing his staff during a Zoom meeting. In February, Shenk stood up during a Zoom call and exposed himself to about a dozen staffers from Believer magazine and the Black Mountain Institute, the Los Angeles Times reported. He called the Zoom incident 'a dumb, reckless choice to disregard appropriate setting and attire for a Zoom meeting. Silverberg said that Shenk had already been negotiating a transition in leadership at the institute prior to the incident. Shenk is the author of the books 'Lincoln's Melancholy' released in 2005 and the 2014 book 'Powers of Two.'
