- Matthew Guerrieri marks the beginning of Hannukah with a brilliant art and crafts project.
- Classical Convert has more thoughts on how realtime liner notes could work….Living Linernotes. (That suggestion’s on the house, Ben) Hopefully this interesting idea won’t languish forever in the “Good But Impractical” pile for too long. It really could revolutionize listening for people.
- Matthew Guerrieri encore but this time it’s a post on the relationship between badness and goodness.
That’s the pessimistic reality of the human condition that we’re all-too-familiar with after the last couple of centuries—the darkness that resides in all of us, periodically, sometimes catastrophically erupting into the world. But we miss the optimism: sure, there’s evil in everyone’s soul, but most of us don’t let it erupt. It manifests itself as petty selfishness or occasional intolerance, but not authoritarian megalomania. We try our best to be good people, and that good taints our evil. Is it enough?
