Some films become part of our cultural vocabulary.

"Casablanca" gave us a few of its most enduring lines, but beneath the romance lies a story of compromised ideals, impossible choices, and knowing when to let go.

The holidays have their own cast of characters, rituals, family lore, and questionable traditions.🎄

Join host Mary Obele for a festive conversation about the season, the stories we collect, and the small absurdities that make December what it is.

In this SuperSalon, @daniellamyoung, author of "The Culting of America", joined @paularambles to unpack her ten-part definition of a cult.

From sacred assumptions to high exit costs, understanding these dynamics reveals how high-control groups operate.

What holds a political world together when agreement on truth becomes a demand for conformity? Hannah Arendt found something indispensable in friendship: the ability to share a world without seeing it the same way.

This is the book I’ve wanted to teach as a stand-alone media studies course for years.

I'm hosting @petersuderman in an @interintellect_ salon about cocktails 🍸

Over the 19th century, American bartenders invented the cocktail, and ever since, the very concept of glamour has been infused with the sensuality of chilled glass and a strong aftertaste.

Resilience is often praised as a virtue. But there is a difference between enduring a difficult season and refusing to let go of something that has run its course.❤️‍🩹

A society can become safer and still leave its citizens worse off.

In "Worth the Risk", economist @AllisonSchrager examines how the fear of failure reshapes our ambitions, from the businesses we never start to the lives we never dare to build.

In "Women in Love", D. H. Lawrence gives us characters who would rather wage war on one another than settle for an ordinary life.

Their romances become battlegrounds for competing visions of freedom, power, and what two independent souls can possibly owe each other.

Join Interintellect CEO @TheAnnaGat for an online book club on a novel that remains startling in its refusal to make human relationships easily resolved.
