Why We’re a Problem

All of this seemed confirmed by a recent headline in The Economist: WHY PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 55 ARE THE NEW PROBLEM GENERATION. I keep hearing that we Boomers are to blame for just about everything wrong with America — unaffordable housing (because we bought up most of the housing stock and now refuse […]

AI vs. the Human Teacher in the Classroom

The most obvious argument made by technology enthusiasts today goes something like this: if AI really can do a better job of individualized instruction, why not bring that advantage into the mass classroom? Let the teacher conduct the lesson for the whole class while AI simultaneously adapts the learning process to each individual child: explain […]

The Collapse of the American Two-Party System

Stop AI Before it’s Too Late

Its costs and risks are gigantic. Its benefits, unproven. I’m going to make a proposal today that’s almost certain to get me consigned to the neo-Luddite dustbin of history. But first, let me lay out some facts. Rather than producing jobs, the U.S. economy actually lost 23,000 job in July, according to Bureau of Labor […]

Integrity

Is it possible to be loyal to Trump and preserve one’s integrity? There’s been a lot of discussion this past week about the meaning of integrity. You didn’t hear the word used directly; it was alluded to indirectly — in wondering whether Lindsey Graham was an immoral opportunist or clever pragmatist; in suspecting Todd Blanche […]

A Childhood Filled with Ancient Mysteries

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, but when I was nine years old, my life changed dramatically. Up on the top shelf of a closet, I discovered a mysterious old book. Its pages were loose and worn, and its black-and-white illustrations beckoned me toward distant, enigmatic lands. It was King […]

Modern Relevance of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky sets the events of his Brothers Karamazov in the style of Greek Tragedy. At least the events concerning Fyodor Karamazov, the father of all Karamazov’s brothers. Throughout the novel, Fyodor is on the collision course. All he does is challenging invisible hand of justice, pushing further and further into moral black hole. He rapes […]

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 […]

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament.

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.
