Utopian who’d love to be a polymath but ends up knowing as much as Socrates and Jon Snow. Delves in storytelling, legal and philosophical debates, & life as art
Circe’s ending makes her protagonist sacrifice her immortality after realizing that a life of grandeur is not necessarily a good one. The tranquil and humble one can be more heroic and connected. Reminds of Tolstoy’s criticism of the kinds of persons some statues are made after

While I love Mucha’s paintings, my favorite art nouveau one is Findelkind. It portrays the embrace of a nun to an abandoned baby in ways that reflect the tender love and reassuring comfort given to one who was rejected. The dark background shows them as the center

Ouch, Athena has been bested -“Her only love was reason. And that has never been the same as wisdom.”
Given how humans end up rationalizing even the most inexcusable things, and how intellectual feats do not ensure kindness, I think Circe has a point

It’s absolutely appalling and disheartening that humankind still engages in such atrocities nowadays

Apropos of Blade Runner 2049 & news of people with 'AI partners' I had a crazy thought: is the phenomenon so different from what occurs when people relate to projections or illusions rather than to another's essence, which might be hidden behind masks or expectations? AI concurs

Illegal actual and not pretended motivations and justifications -such as collective punishment- render a blockade unlawful, and thus it cannot produce legal effects affecting freedoms of navigation and others it otherwise eventually could

Given the excessive and dire suffering *inflicted* on human beings in Gaza (no less worthy than others), imo blockade claims can be seen as an abuse of right, de facto condemning civilians to ongoing harm -distribution by occupying power is not seen as reliable casebook.icrc.org/case-study/i...

What a fascinating premise -with which I agree. It uses one of my favorite philosophical approaches to international law.
I would only add that, imo, the same can be predicated of many or mostly all legal subjects -save for individuals, ontologically- and constructs

The statues and reliefs that caught my eye and moved me the most in Athens were not of philosophers or deities. Rather, they were this from a refugee boy, reminding of how we should welcome those in need; and those remembering the deceased, conveying the grief and despair of loss

The article addresses an important issue that is not sufficiently discussed. The ever increasing Israeli incursions in other countries and violations of sovereignty, showing disregard for Int'l law, can end up worrying neighbors & destabilizing the region www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

Mattarella wonders what others do as well: when supposed errors are too many, it is not unreasonable to see certain intentions -and how little Palestinian lives are valued, I might add

Furthermore, the acceptance with retroactive effects covering the period of the former withdrawal was seen to be in line with good faith, pro persona, and effectiveness principles that were in jeopardy as a result of the former denunciation in circumstances that threatened them

fascinating for several reasons. Firstly, it is based on the argument that elections in which Maduro had allegedly been elected were defective and contrary to fundamental democratic guarantees, as indicated by decisions of OAS bodies. The institution saw Guaidó as representative

Gotta admit this quote from The Chosen (S5 Ep.6) is one that all would do well to bear in mind so as to avoid manipulative readings of the sort that are used to further hatred & silence consciences.
And it applies to all faiths -and even, from a secular perspective, to ideologies
