    The Anatomy of Death- A Montage
    Oct 5 2022
    Part I of a two part discussion on Death with the author Ivan Obolensky. A much needed discussion on an even more greatly avoided subject, our inevitable departure from Life. As the title suggests, a synthetic (rather than analytic) approach was adopted, using an array of approaches and disciplines, employing paradox and sometimes even anachronism to assemble snippets that shed light on the complexity and scope of this slippery chimera. But are we even looking in the right direction? Do we already have more than a foothold?

  • "The Enduring Pain of Societal and Global Threats"

    "The Enduring Pain of Societal and Global Threats"
    Aug 24 2022
    Have we reached a point of 'crisis overload,' both at the societal and global level? We seem to trip through the caveats while the larger challenges seem intractable. We are already well aware that unbridled stress increases the risk of or worsens most physical and mental disease. But this time it's different. In previous decades, our guiding light was a credible media that mostly portrayed a journalistic 'best efforts' approach, in which many could have confidence. Not long ago, news became commodified, veracity taking a back seat to ratings, agendas and groupthink. A casual approach to the truth made truth itself the first casualty. In the age of the Everything Crisis,' more than ever, trust and lucidity alone can save the day.
