WELCOME, BUT BECOME LIKE US:Movement V Two Souls in One Body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Series noteThe previous movements examined how Superman’s welcome becomes conditional upon his willingness to become intelligible on humanity’s terms. Movement V turns inward. It asks what that conditional welcome does to the person who must live beneath it: someone divided not only between two histories, but between their own knowledge of themselves and the image returned by a suspicious world.Movement V Two Souls in One BodySuperman has always carried more than one name. He is Kal-El, the chil
Who Gets to Belong Without Explanation? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rishi Sunak’s warning in The Sunday Times deserves to be taken seriously. Britishness cannot become a DNA test.

In the earlier movements of Welcome, But Become Like Us, I began with the child who fell from the sky: Superman not first as hero, but as refugee, carrying with him the memory of a world that had disappeared. The recovered message from Krypton changes the meaning of that arrival. What had once been an inheritance of loss becomes an object of suspicion, allowing the fears directed towards the stranger to acquire an apparent justification. By Movement IV, the question had shifted again. Superman c
Which Humanity Would AI Destroy? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Listening to Sarah Montague on BBC Radio 4’s The World at One, I heard a discussion about warnings from researchers at Anthropic that there may be a greater than ten per cent chance of advanced artificial intelligence killing all human beings within the next decade. Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt of Oxford questioned whether a scientifically meaningful probability could be attached to an event for which we have no precedent and no reliable body of evidence. The discussion nevertheless accepted tha
