@second_sailing My thought is that he had a very Walker Percy experience, like Binx, and he ought to read Lost in the Cosmos

“Manent places special emphasis on the high human drama of metánoia, of conversion…among its greatest contributions to mankind. In stark contrast, a self-adoring—that is, smug and self-satisfied—humanity has no need to cultivate the soul in any rich or significant way.”

Is AI ruining liberal education? Nope, but only because it can't (first of all, it's too late to the game)

“The Battles of Lexington & Concord and Bunker Hill”🇺🇸📜Check out our latest essay now!

Author: Elizabeth Amato (@esamato9), Associate Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at Gardner-Webb University

Constituting America’s 15th Online Study:
Consent of the Governed: Celebrating America’s 250th of the Declaration of Independence

“The Boston Tea Party exposed the fragility of British authority and forced colonists to confront whether law could command obedience without consent.”
The essay traces how escalating conflict—from the Tea Party to Lexington & Concord and Bunker Hill—transformed colonial resistance into armed struggle, as Americans moved from protesting “taxation without representation” to asserting the principle that legitimate government depends on consent of the governed.

“The virtues of charity and forgiveness, along with God’s unintelligibility, grace, and mercy, are positive characteristics stressed in Hawthorne’s conservatism….not merely a negative reminder of man’s sin, but a constructive vision of man’s place in the universe.”
