    The Health and Wellness Issue: Editor's Note (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The most audacious dreams about the future always come from the individual, and very rarely from the state. Look who is investing in immortality, which is no longer a poetic invocation but a measure of man’s determination to defy biology. It is not good enough being alive. It is not good enough to live longer. It is about making death optional. The longevity project says more about its promoters and endorsers than about its science: life is too precious to deserve an end we have no control ove

    When gods say exhilaration may end in extinction, the world takes a pause. Dario Amodei of the AI behemoth Anthropic periodically strays from the pantheon and pronounces his commandments as a creator with a conscience larger than his creation. Early this year, in a long essay titled ‘The Adolescence of Technology’, he cautioned, in the dual roles of optimist and realist, humanity about the risks AI could pose not only from the labs but in the hands of rogue governments as well. “The years

    Commemorations are about letting memory retrieve a piece of history with ceremonial solemnity. To remember is to convince ourselves, once again, that the past doesn’t fade, time doesn’t always heal. That reminders are still required in a world where justice is still a dispute.

    EVERYTHING HAS NOT BEEN SAID in politics yet. And what has been said before tells us how words have shaped political lives. And some politicians are so good at deploying language to break the comfort of consensus, to delight the acolytes and to disturb the status-quoists, that the noise sometimes is mistaken for substance. Those sound-bite sorcerers, in retrospect, have provided linguistic shortcuts to the browsers of history. From Cicero to Churchill to Enoch Powell to Obama, the tradition of t

    Freedom Issue 2026: Editor's Note (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    TALKING FREEDOM IS the trait of the times. The street sets the stage; the young provide the tension. It is not what is playing out in closed societies, or in societies where openness is a hoax. Today democracies make freedom a hot topic, which itself is a great thing because it is not a subversion—a favourite accusation of autocrats—but a reminder to the ruling class about the uses of conscience. It may at times seem idealism shaped by insufficient historical sense. It may be a rejection of
