America’s Election Talk

As America’s midterm elections draw closer, the familiar numbers game is already underway. There is no point denying what the polls say: several national surveys do, in fact, show Democrats with an advantage. But the national generic ballot is not an election result. The House is decided across 435 individual congressional districts. The Senate is […]

Xi and the Dilemma of AI

The central issue isn’t which nation will dominate AI. It’s whether we will both maintain human control over it. China and the United States are now competing for AI dominance. But what’s needed is a new mind-set about the meaning of “security” in the emerging world of AI — where the central question should not […]

The Rise of AI Populism

Are we on the cusp of a political realignment against corporate power? Last week, the unlikely duo of Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon keynoted a Washington conference to demand a stop to AI, its data centers, and the risks AI poses to jobs and even to the human species. Notably, both lambasted the corporate oligarchs […]

It’s Cold There

At 1:40 in the morning, the March rain turned the neon of Kabukicho outside my window into smeared, dirty streaks of color. She came in barefoot. I noticed her feet before I noticed her face. The soles were scraped raw. Her right knee was streaked with soot and dried blood. A wet trail followed her […]

Vance Has a Problem: His Friendship with Tucker Carlson

The Republican Party is slowly shedding the original version of Trumpism. And Tucker Carlson has become toxic to political careers. J.D. Vance is not apologizing for his friendship with Carlson—at least not yet. But he is making it clear that he does not agree with him. Vice President J.D. Vance has increasingly been filling in […]

Madama Butterfly and the Japan of the Western Imagination

It is fascinating that Madama Butterfly, or Cio-Cio-San, has long been regarded as one of the most “Japanese” of European operas. Yet, in reality, it tells us far more about Western perceptions of Japan at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries than about Japan itself. The same can be said, in a different […]

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance.

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]
