The core of Humanism: Historia vero testis temporum, lux veritatis, vita memoriae, magistra vitae, nuntia vetustatis, qua voce alia nisi oratoris immortalitati commendatur? (By what other voice than that of the orator is history, the true witness of times, the light of truth, the life of memory, the mistress of life, the heraldress of antiquity, committed to immortality?) Cicero, De Oratore, II, 36

"If history tells us anything, it’s that the human activities that we think distinguish thinking from computation — like writing and reading — are not fixed but contingent and constantly in flux." thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/what-is-author…

The discussion about Marxism in academia seems silly to me *on both sides* because it is simultaneously true that a) almost no academics today are Marxist in the "classical" sense and b) many in the social sciences and in some of the humanities are what DN called "ultra-Marxist"

A lot of people will react to pieces @j_amesmarriott's about the alarming decline of reading with "moral panic" or "it was always like that" etc. But then I read this.
