It is fashionable to say “Americans don’t read anymore.” But what if the truth is harsher—that most Americans can’t read? Not in the sense of menus, street signs, or IKEA instructions. Those surface-level skills survive. The real crisis lies in the inability to sustain attention through a novel, to wrestle with a technical article, or…

We live in an age where morality is increasingly treated like a subscription service: you only keep it if it delivers a return on investment.

To outsiders, it looks like a magician’s trick gone wrong—sawing the voter base in half without ever bothering to put them back…

There are blogs that take themselves very seriously. They agonize over citations, frame every argument with disclaimers, and clutch their pearls if a sentence wanders even slightly from the party line of “responsible journalism.” This is not one of those blogs.
