  • AI and the formation of students, Chris Sibben via Mere Orthodoxy.
  • “Situations are all highly concrete, and they do not present themselves with duty labels on them. Without the abilities of perception, duty is blind and therefore powerless.” Martha Nussbaum, “…Literature and the Moral Imagination.”
  • Classics and Christians in the 12th Century by Jamie Collings in Antigone.
  • American tort reform to prevent $500B+ costs annually is also tied to America’s moral culture and a revival of our ethical framework.
  • Reviewing Leah Libresco Sargeant’s Dignity of Dependence, Rita Koganzon writes, “It may well be that a more care-oriented state is needed to prop up the sagging American family. But what will protect that family from the state’s exuberant outpouring of love?”
  • Via the Journal of American Psychiatry: “Large-scale diffusion MRI and network-level analyses now demonstrate that human brain maturation is neither linear nor complete by age 18 or even 25. Instead, the period from late childhood through early adulthood is characterized by ongoing reorganization of white-matter topology, integration of distributed networks, and refinement of executive control systems, with measurable inflection points extending into the early 30s…. [Thus,] Substance use during adolescence and early adulthood should be understood not merely as a behavioral risk for addiction but as a potential threat to ongoing brain development and neurological integrity.”
