Opinion
Did We Take Trump Too Seriously?
An author discusses the response to a recent Op-Ed on the president’s foreign policy.No.
"But we need to take him seriously — especially his administration and supporters. He wouldn’t be president today if he hadn’t tapped into a powerful politics, what I called the “politics of civilization.” In fact, he is dangerous precisely because he makes it hard to take his politics seriously. He inspires a Pavlovian ridicule. But that reflex to ridicule is allowing some people to avoid trying to understand his policies and to avoid developing a real critique of them. It makes them read a sober analysis of Trump as an endorsement! That really concerns me."

The sterile contact between the cook and the plastic package is uninteresting to any of the stages of production for consumption.

Letter of Recommendation: Duolingo
A single app for language skills, self-improvement and digital escape.
"Any
online time-waster offers an escape from the world, often by preying on
your worst instincts: envy, pettiness, poor impulse control. But
Duolingo offered an escape that made me feel connected to the better
parts of the world, and of myself. I may not have become a
globe-trotting polyglot, but language learning did trigger a curiosity
into other lives lived. My phone hadn’t made me a better person,
exactly, but at least it didn’t make me worse.

It looks like it is Microsoft without Bill Gates.
It could have cooked in the design stage for another six months.
It is properly a beta test model.
