Radner: "the Bible is not the *object* of our varied gazes; rather it is the *subject.* The Divine Word, the Bible, acts *on us,* not us on the Bible. ... The 'Word' *does* something to people"
A “creedal nation” was so important to America’s founding that it wasn’t mentioned for over 200 years.

Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court. In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible. We won. 6-3. But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow. I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves. I also had four teachers preparing me. A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi. An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else. A meditation coach who taught me stillness. And Harvey. Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked — sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable. Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person. Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written. Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened — and what I learned standing at that podium. AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument. Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry — and answer the worry. That is the irreducibly human skill. Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives. The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: go.ted.com/nealkumarkatyal What's the irreducibly human skill in your work — the thing AI can't touch?

Both parties gerrymander whenever possible. This is bad. Neither party will ever unilaterally disarm. That is predictable. So why not just call a truce and pass a law to restrict it everywhere?
“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. cbsn.ws/4cA1Jrp
