JUST LISTED.📅

It’s easy to feel disconnected when so much of modern life happens behind screens. We're gathering in person in NYC to talk about what it actually takes to build a genuine sense of belonging and deep connection today.

Dear Interintellect host Tara Isabella Burton is leading the conversation, and we are thrilled to welcome philosopher @ianmarcuscorbin as our special guest for this one.

Join us!

@daniel_dsj2110 Brad Stevens is going to do some sorcery now, so the Celtics can reclaim their rightful place.

What does it mean to belong to one another in a society that feels increasingly disconnected?

On June 23, join the Center for Christianity and Public Life and Capita for a summer book salon in Washington DC with @IanMarcusCorbin on his new book, “To Arrive Where We Started: Belonging in the Modern World.”

Together, we’ll explore friendship, loneliness, community, and the deeper human longing for connection that shapes our shared public life.

Oh this sounds tremendous.

Happy to receive word today that Columbia UP will be publishing a multi author volume I coedited with Michelle Sanchez and Justin Reynolds titled, “The Secular in History.” It tries to make sense of the myriad critiques of secularism that emerged across academic disciplines during the 1990s and 2000s. Did that critique foreshadow today’s so called crisis of liberalism? Should be out next year for those interested in answers to the question.

@jimgeraghty I was up in his part of Maine last August, and there was already substantial local buzz about him.

[Phil Klay @PhilKlay]

This will be great

[Ian Marcus Corbin @ianmarcuscorbin]

@PhilKlay Thanks @PhilKlay! Just a short train ride away.

[Ian Marcus Corbin @ianmarcuscorbin]

This is a legitimately important book - the deepest and most serious I've ever read from a sitting politician - and I was honored to play a (very) small role in helping @ChrisMurphyCT think it into being.

Wow.

[Tiago Forte @fortelabs]

I think the main thing AI has taught me, through all the time savings it brings, is that I’m not a very interesting person

Faced with a surplus of free time, I realize I don’t really have hobbies besides content consumption

I’m forced to conclude that I don’t have very deep friendships, and am not a core member of any particular community

I’m not very cultured, I’m finding, and don’t have abiding interests in art or literature or history or much that isn’t directly related to my work

I have a work-centric life, in other words. AI pulls back the curtain on just how impoverished such an existence is, by disabusing me of its necessity

Given the freedom I’ve always said I wanted, I’m at a loss as to what to do with it, except plow myself even harder into work, thus exacerbating the lesson

There’s nothing more confronting to humans than freedom

Folks I just found out that apparently Terrence Malick dated Carly Simon and he’s posing on the back cover of one of her albums, what the fuck?

[Ian Marcus Corbin @ianmarcuscorbin]

@xsantiagoramos @MickJagger Wait, for real?

[Ian Marcus Corbin @ianmarcuscorbin]

A lot of the most pompous, credulous people in our society are day by day being publicly rag-dolled by the "inevitability" of the "AI revolution." Own-goal after own-goal.

[Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter]

This is so embarrassing.
