Valerie Stivers Jeffrey Gross This was very good. (It was almost pandering directly to me in finding a Chopin-Roth connection.) For such a brief mention, the song has so many echoes throughout the novel.

I went on my “following” feed for a while and it was so apocalyptic and full of rage I guess I’m back to the algorithm, deeply scarred and wondering if the Rapture has begun.

To be "designed" by one's parents (crazy nutjob rich people, too) has to be the most disgusting violation of human rights we've come up with yet. That anyone can mess around with your body before you're born horrifies me. UnHerd on eugenics. unherd.com/2025/07/beware…

Gender skepticism is like a band that suddenly hit it big and all the diehards are bragging about how they were into it before it was cool.

The reflective, addictive power of talking about yourself to ChatGPT is taking us silently by storm. Today UnHerd unherd.com/2025/07/chatgp…

Sometimes, as a book critic, I long for a way to pour the book directly into my brain without having to undergo the misery of reading it.

One of the scarier articles I've read of late, by Valerie Stivers at UnHerd. Jerry Mander wrote decades ago about the effects electronic technology (television) has on the brain. Since then: the Internet, smartphones, and now AI. Going full insanity. unherd.com/2025/07/chatgp…
