I understand there is a market for steel from ships that sank before 1945 because it is unpolluted by radiation from atom bombs.
Perhaps we will soon demand references from papers printed before 2025 and the great information pollution disaster

The 20th century is replete with vast, globe spanning, movements with vast ambitious and incredibly complex politico-aesthetic design languages who were defeated by the power of coca cola, denim pants that showcase butts in a nice way, and Metallica.

This can’t be repaired for the same reason why nothing in British politics and media can ever be fixed: the people responsible are not going to censure and fire themselves and each other. Which is the only way that any of it can ever be made better, by removing the people who made it like this.

Hate to ask the question, but how much unhappiness about the modern world is simply a function of an ageing population?
More risk-averse. More expensive to care for. More nostalgic for their younger days. Higher expectations. Less tax paid.

I agree. Universities should be wary of putting out statements of political preferences. By all means publish arguments by academics or research groups,which might pull in many different directions, but universities should be places where thinking happens, rather than places with collective opinions

You see a video called "The Worst Indie Game of 2025". As the narrator furiously recounts every programming error, every reason why the characters suck and the story makes no sense, you realize the game is about your actual real life so far.

The difficult truth is that a radical programme probably needs to be conservatively financed.
Some on the left appear to confuse radical proposals for financing mechanisms with proposals for a policy programme itself.

1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system.

I'm obliged for the nod.
The "Penrose Effect" seems to be a real thing - hypothesised in the 1930s and re-tested in the last decade or so:
Where you reduce your inpatient psychiatric provision, you'll see a correlated rise within 10yrs in prisons of seriously mentally ill prisoners.

If you find yourself losing patience with someone, remember that they are an ape adrift in an alien world, born into a struggle they did not choose, taunted by impulses they cannot control, searching for answers they will not find, and condemned to a fate they do not deserve.

This is not orchestrated propaganda but adaptive conditioning. Everyone, from Farage to the viewer at home, learns what the system rewards: outrage, certainty, and spectacle.

What they describe is performative discourse, where speech is rewarded for emotional impact rather than truth. Calm, reasoned discussion disappears because it does not perform well in the feed.
