    Are we watching the same game? Same news? Same debate? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My mother watches football the way most people watch the news: as an unbroken sequence of impacts. Large men collide, someone falls, a whistle blows, and then it happens again. She asks me why players keep doing that to each other, and I never have a satisfying answer, because from where she is sitting, there isn’t supposed to be one. It looks like organized chaos because, to someone who hasn’t learned the language of football, that’s exactly what it is. I watch football one level up from her, a

    Our dollar, your problem (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I spent the early nineties as a college student, and I have been working, and paying attention to interest rates the way other people watch the weather, since 1996. Somewhere along the way I bought houses at rates near 2 percent, and took out lines of credit just as cheap, and got used to feeling that money didn’t cost much. My father did not get to feel that. He bought our first house in the 1980s at 16 percent interest, a rate that made a mortgage feel like a second job. Same family, only one

    March of the robots – next decade (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I remember being transfixed, watching the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony in 2008. Two thousand and eight drummers struck in perfect unison, like robots, and a scroll of ink and light unrolled across the stadium floor. It was clear to the world watching that China had arrived on the global stage and was capable of building a new future with speed and scale. Eighteen years later, China gave the world a preview of another future, a world in which the 2008 drummers could be slowly replaced with m

    Hedonic Treadmill Paradox: Why we remain unimpressed with technological miracles (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My family immigrated to America in 1983 from Bhopal, a city in India. I was thirteen. In India, I had my own transistor radio, a bicycle, a rotary phone, and a black and white television. Back then, time moved the way monsoons move. Things were inevitable, cyclical, and unhurried. I did not know then, that by coming to America, I was crossing not just an ocean, but a temporal fault line. Behind me was a world still largely analog, where change was measured in generations, and ahead of me was a c

    My city elders don't trust Bitcoin (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I was not on 6ABC’s Sunday-morning Inside Story panel last week. I watched it the way a man watches his own dinner party from the sidewalk, nose pressed to the glass, listening to the conversation happen without him. The topic was Bitcoin. The verdict from last week’s panelists, delivered with easy confidence, was that Bitcoin is fraudulent, criminal-adjacent, unproven, mysterious, not climate friendly, will be worthless, and is not practical for the average public. I have sat in that chair as a
