The real ID is just an updated state license or ID. I have had one for over 10 years and nothing bad has happened to me. It looks like, in the case of California, a regular drivers license with a hologram in the center. Many people want secure borders and secure elections, but object to a secure ID
pretty much every piece written for this magazine reads like a sophomoric undergraduate paper--endless shallow social observations and reactionary takes that betray an inadequate understanding of the western canon and its development. before we start telling people how to restore culture, why don't we first engage critically with the western canon? perhaps then the "perspectives" (i hesitate to use this term since it requires a form of critical thinking that is noticeably absent in many of these articles) offered by all the writers on this magazine won't be so woefully dependent on declension narratives. seriously: what you guys are saying on here has already been parroted a thousand times by other thinkers who are just as conservative and reactionary (Augusto del Noce, Byung Chul Han, Alasdair MacIntyre). i'm begging conservative thinkers to at least engage with the western canon a little bit before offering their uninteresting, passé reactionary takes. yawn
Thanks. I love Byung Chul Han. Some of his work is useful for my dissertation.
But I must add... I write satirical observational essays with an English curmudgeonly bent. I'm not trying to do any of the grand things you suggest in your comment. I made a few people laugh. That was my goal.
Glad to have you back writing, I've missed your work. I've got 2 teenage boys, we learned very early on to restrict the apps they could access and limit their screen time. Our eldest is 16 and pretty good at moderating himself now but his 14 year old brother is more of a challenge. Don't get me started on their friends....his best bud spends Saturday evening with us, I had to tell him to put his phone away while we were watching Gladiators tonight 🤣 I do wish they would read - sadly, they seem to take after my book averse hubs.
Good piece. Though I justify my doomscrolling as most of my time is spent on apps like Substack and the dead tree press apps for the Telegraph, Spectator and WaPo.
Hey Christopher. I haven't seen a new Oxford Sour for some time. Are you on a hiatus? Enjoyed this essay. I recommend, if you don't already subscribe, Ted Gioia's Honest Broker Substack. Here is a link to his latest yearly review of culture. https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-world-was-flat-now-its-flattened
