@AppletoZucchini has written a most thoughtful and urgent piece on the era of feelings. The most critical question is how do we get out of it? How do we bring back a culture of inquiry and most importantly, how do we impart on our youth to sit with uncomfortable feelings? A must read ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

This is a long standing dogma of multiculturalism. I was eliminated from a fellowship application while still an undergraduate when I remarked at an interview that Ancient Greek was a more powerful and expressive language than modern made-up languages like Esperanto. I thought it an obvious point but it was seen as racist. Iโ€™m still not sure how that conclusion was reached

@CultureExploreX @JamesWHankins1 I also donโ€™t understand why people donโ€™t understand that cultures can be better than othersโ€ฆthat isnโ€™t something rude or negative, simply factual. Modern British culture is clearly better than 11th century English cultureโ€ฆwhich in turn is similar to some modern ones.

MY NEW PODCAST JUST LAUNCHED! The history of the popes of the Catholic Churchโ€”their lives, teachings, policies, and the crises they facedโ€”told in a continuous chronological narrative, from St. Peter on through successors famous or obscure. The first three episodes are now available. Links below.

Spending these last hours before bed in the company of Milton, much improved by the presence of a dear friend's Goethe-inspired overture.

Relatively common phenomenon nowadays: historical figure gets reinterpreted as a symbol of the 'pre-multicultural' past (when 'dead, white men' ruled); is thence treated with some anxiety as a potential threat to the multicultural present; nativists then embrace these symbols as totems, and the whole thing spirals (it can also begin in reverse order). Meanwhile ordinary people are left scratching their head at the idiocy all around

You do not honor other cultures by weakening your own. You honor them by standing firmly in what is yours. Shakespeare is not a symbol of domination. He is one of the clearest expressions of what human language can reach at its highest level. His work survived because generation after generation, across cultures, found truth in it. What they are calling decolonising is diluting something rooted, tested, and refined over centuries. This is what happens when a civilization loses confidence in its own inheritance. The idea that Shakespeare being universal is harmful reveals something deeper. It suggests that greatness itself has become suspect. That if something endures across time and place, it must be explained away, not studied. That instinct erases standards. Tradition is not exclusion. It is memory. It is the record of what a civilization discovered was worth preserving. Once you start apologizing for that, you create a vacuum where nothing holds. A culture that cannot defend Shakespeare will not be able to defend anything else that made it.

Predictably, alas, Archbishop Alexander Sample's powerful reassertion of the Church's condemnation of antisemitism and conspiracy theorizing against the Jewish people has brought the antisemites out from under the rocks. Some claim to be faithful Catholics. They're no such thing.

These things excite me. My copy of Leon Uris' novel Exodus, found in a dusty old vintage bookshop in the heart of Wales, I discover has journeyed all the way from an old bookstore in the heart of Jerusalem. The shop Sefer Ve Sefel is still there. Am Yisrael Chai. ืขื ื™ืฉืจืืœ ื—ื™.

Itโ€™s still happening, and will continue to happen, in new โ€œdoubtless very differentโ€ ways, on the national stage. To save a nation, it might be sufficient for everyone to see the โ€œbeautiful loserโ€ game for what is.

The moment Con Inc used Fuentes as cover to try to deplatform and cancel Patrick Deneen was the moment they gave the entire game away.
