    Hot air wafts from the East River (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This year’s United Nations General Assembly in New York City has refocused attention on the chronic and lamentable fact that the international body is sclerotic, corrupt, and almost useless. A Wall Street Journal headline, “World Leaders Nearly All Agree That United Nations is Failing,” put the matter straightforwardly. But those leaders’ complaints referred narrowly to the U.N.’s inability to prevent wars, its raison d’être, and the U.N. structure which allows the United States, China, Russia,

    Military force? Democrats love it if it’s aimed at Trump (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    President Donald Trump is frequently ridiculous, as almost everyone knows. The latest evidence is his absurd name-changing, his orders that Lake Ontario become Lake America, and artificial intelligence become superintelligence. As chief executive, he can force these solecisms into official U.S. documents, but everyone else will continue using the proper names, and some future president will reorder federal officialdom back to normality. As odd as Trump is, however, he is clearly outmatched in de

    The maxim “Once bitten, twice shy” never seems to apply in politics. We don’t learn. An explosion of concern over the hurtling advance of artificial intelligence seems likely to follow the same pattern as previous panics, which goes like this: A big scare bursts upon the world; knowing little about it, government and other vested interests massively overreact; naysayers who warn against unnecessary or excessive measures or propose alternatives are excoriated; when, too late, they are proven righ

    A news story this week brought back a memory of my early boyhood. I was 7 years old when my father woke me one morning and told me I’d be joining him when he left for work. As we got into the car, he said I should keep an eye out for landmarks along the way. We drove through our village to about a mile out the other side, then my father stopped the car and asked if I could remember the way home. When I answered yes, he said he wanted me to walk back.

    Disastrous reality (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We’ve all become used to computer-generated scenes of disaster — of meteors thudding into the Earth with the force of a thousand nuclear explosions, seas engulfing cities, or people flash frozen mid-stride. There was something cinematic and unreal about the video from the Himalayas this week, showing what can be described as a flood only if one wants to be euphemistic. It was a disaster the scale of which seemed, in the earliest moments, to make it the product of a wild fictional imagination. Su
