His words, spoken so matter-of-factually, sent me reeling. You’re the most interesting person I know.” “Spending private time with friends doesn’t make us any less of a couple.” I linked my fingers with his, trying to convey how connected we were and always would be. “I don’t want to be on the outside either.” I don’t want him to feel like he’s on the outside of a life I’m creating with you.” ![]() ![]() If I’m going to start telling people we’re married, I have to start with Cary, and I can’t do that with you around.

A posthumous novel, Juneteenth, was published after being assembled from voluminous notes he left after his death. Morels project-the politics of Invisible Man systematically revisited-is definitely worthy of the attention of the contemporary reader, or a multicultural America or anywhere else., Outstanding.

I also believe that increasing human rationality could have a variety of positive societal affects at levels somewhat smaller in grain size than the societal problems that Sternberg focuses on. ![]() Intelligence has helped meliorate some social problems throughout history, including the period of time that is covered by the Flynn effect, but I agree with Sternberg that other psychological characteristics may be contributing as well, particularly increases in rationality. I agree with the target essay that psychology has something to offer in helping to address societal problems. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Looking back, it sounds extremely naive,” Harari said.

Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking action: that the federal government should budget like a household, that deficits will harm the next generation, crowd out private investment, and undermine long-term growth, and that entitlements are propelling us toward a grave fiscal crisis. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country. ![]() Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure.
