Is it any wonder that our servicemen feel left behind by society when society has made it clear that their stories are not a significant part of the American story?

While schools and universities talk about global citizenship in sweeping and saccharine terms, there actually is an intellectual tradition behind the idea—a philosophical tradition of “cosmopolitanism” that goes all the way back to ancient Greece. As a Classicist, I feel an obligation to tell you about it.

AI can talk to you, laugh with you, cheer you on. An AI-powered robot can even dance with you. But what AI cannot do—and will, I wager, never be able to do—is get drunk with you. Genuinely drunk.

At what point after you have joined an institution are you entitled to criticize it?

Not on day one. Newcomers’ opinions should be treated with a grain of salt.

My thoughts, charts, and much more — on the Substack today.
