Compound Interest in an Attention Economy

There is a passage at the end of Nathan Hill’s 2024 novel Wellness in which Hill’s protagonist, the photographer and art professor Jack Baker, reflects on the unique nature of his photography, which he develops “not with pigment but with time.” By using already exposed film as his medium, and by allowing various chemicals to interact with the aging film, Baker is able to create fascinating and otherwise unimaginable images that represent “the hi…Read Article

Identity, Mundanity, and Vaccines

I’ll be taking the next three weeks off all things digital. These weekly posts should resume when I return. “Seventeen Theses on Writing and Place.” Matt Miller articulates some truths about language and place, e.g.: “Places can fail people, but far more frequently the failure goes the other way around. When a place fails to meet our needs, it is often because someone first failed to concern themselves with the needs of the place.” “Communicatio…Read Article

Brethren of the Same Principle: A Few Words Toward a Better Politics

…I am convinced that Western civilization, especially what passes for civilization and culture here and now in our own United States, is trying to solve ever-multiplying, ever more crucial problems with the same simplistic thoughts, the same materialism indeed, that are themselves the original cause of these problems. I believe that not only some, but most, of the major difficulties our present civilization will be encountering from now on will …Read Article

Holden Caulfield and the Ducks of Central Park

With The Catcher in the Rye (1951), J.D. Salinger wrote not only one of the greatest novels of all time but what would become one of the most storied. Since the 1960s, it has been banned in many school districts, mostly for “foul language” but also for sexual content (including homosexuality). John Hinckley Jr. claimed in 1981 that it, along with Jodie Foster, inspired him to shoot President Reagan. The book, it seems, holds a strange power to o…New York State · New York Read Article

Parents want conservative higher ed reforms, poll finds

(The Lion) — Most American parents have increasing concerns over the overall direction of higher education, a new poll reveals. Parents Defending Education (PDE) polled parents of children aged 15 to 21 and found most of them are grappling with the highly politicized nature of most universities. Just 11% of respondents said their child was not enrolling in any higher education, while most had either already enrolled their children (69%) or were …Professors · United States See the Story

The Grammar of Enchantment

On a wall in my office hangs a plaque purchased in Waco, Texas, at the Magnolia empire of Chip and Joanna Gaines. Its inscription reads, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Underneath that plaque hangs a print of John Everett Millais’s painting The Boyhood of Raleigh in which two young boys listen captivated by an old sailor’s “tales of wonder on sea and land.” On my office door I have an image of the word mooreeffoc (coffee room backwards), first used b…Magnolia, Texas · Magnolia Read Article

Chemical-Drenched Corn is Not MAHA-Friendly

The MAHA movement has brought food quality, human health, and regenerative farming to the attention of conservatives. Yet articles from across the political spectrum still slander organic, small-scale farming operations as deleterious to the environment and claim that GMO-cropping and factory farms are salutary for American consumers and the world. This isn’t true. Granted, I’m biased—I’m a farmer and cow owner, so I get defensive about my anim…Farming Read Article

What is a Good Life?

This essay was delivered as the commencement address at Canterbury Classical School’s spring commencement. What will make you happy? At the beginning of Augustine’s Confessions, he identifies this universal human question. In his context, he uses the example of a soldier going to war versus a person who refrains from going to war. They make different decisions: the one who goes to war is seeking happiness in glory or honor; the one who refrains …Asheville · Asheville Read Article

Ivan Illich, Byung-Chul Han, and Cloning

“Introduction to Ivan Illich.” Deacon Christopher May will be teaching a summer course for The Maurin Academy on Illich, beginning June 17: “Although we will sometimes talk about one or another of his books, the primary goal of this introductory course will be to examine the themes that are found throughout his body of work: Conviviality, tools, alienation, disembodiment, commodification, respect for limits, especially the necessity to limit con…Florida, United States · Florida Read Article

A Formidable Formative Institution – The Fair Marches On

The twenty-first century has been rough on formative institutions: schools and universities; the traditional family; churches; Scouting groups; civic groups. These cultural mainstays were the civilizing elements of American communities, serving as vehicles for passing down cultural values from one generation to the next. They tempered the individualistic selfishness of human beings, forming them to exercise mutual obligations and weave a broader…Agriculture · United States Read Article

Reflections on Alasdair MacIntyre

The world lost an intellectual giant on May 21st, 2025, when Alasdair MacIntyre passed away at 96 years of age. MacIntyre, whose published books alone number over two dozen, began his career with a decidedly Marxist philosophical bent but by the end of his life had become influential on a generation of students and thinkers associated more with conservatism (an “ism” which MacIntyre, of course, disavowed). His role in attracting interest to virt…Notre Dame · Notre Dame See the Story
