Why Chatbots Are Female

The chatbot, by virtue of being designed to appear human, appears sexual—male or female.

Social Justice and the Re-Enchantment of the World

Social Justice and the Re-Enchantment of the World

It is the very aspects of social-justice ideology which strike right-Liberals as bizarre that make them appealing to leftists, and, frankly, to normal humans: in particular, the refusal to keep apparent manifestations of the sacred in the box of individual religious experience.

 What The Nationalists Get Wrong: A Defense of the Particular and the Universal

Rather than a new nationalism, a Catholic postliberalism should promote a new localism within a new universalism.

Liberalism as a Felix Culpa

Newman’s great felix culpa claim is that the error of liberalism is itself an indispensable element of the larger providential operation of the Church’s magisterium.

What if the liberal concept of religion is the real problem?

Christians are trapped in a liberal straitjacket. It's time to break free.

Can the liberal model of toleration save us from violence?

All religions are to be treated with equal respect, because all religions are equally unimportant to the public life of the State.

Church and State?

In order to break free from the modern construct of the “problem of Church and State” we have to accept that charity could have real content as charity, that self-sacrifice is real and not just a tactic of conflict.

Thorns and thistles are only a curse to a man who no longer understands them according to their nature.

Scripture Commentary
Adam Without Scarcity

If increased population dooms men to war for finite resources, then the Genesis blessing “be fruitful and multiply” is no blessing, but a curse.

Reconstructing Catholicism

It's an old story, really. Man carves out a place for himself where he claims that God cannot see him. Liberalism is just particularly convinced that this place really is the whole world.

The Postliberal Moment

Our words and categories, our habits of thought and action, our positive social structures have all been built by modernity in order to live in modernity. And they don’t work anymore.
