<\/a> On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources about broad cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom. I wel\u00adcome your sug\u00adges\u00adtions. If you read some\u00adthing fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading please pass it my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is vol\u00adume 440, the sum of the first sev\u00aden\u00adteen prime num\u00adbers. 440 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 and that fact makes me hap\u00adpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I\u2019ve had a busy trav\u00adel sched\u00adule late\u00adly and haven\u2019t kept us with as much stuff as I nor\u00admal\u00adly do, so this is a short\u00ader com\u00adpi\u00adla\u00adtion than usu\u00adal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The Chris\u00adt\u00adian Super Bowl Ad They SHOULD Have Made | He Saves Us<\/a> (Jamie Bam\u00adbrick, YouTube): one com\u00adpelling minute. I don\u2019t have any\u00adthing against the He Gets Us ads, but this is pret\u00adty great.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Chris\u00adtians Are Not Ready for the Age of \u201cAdult AI\u201d<\/a> (Samuel D. James, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cAll vari\u00adables being equal, it is like\u00adly that with\u00adin twen\u00adty years, most online pornog\u00adra\u00adphy will not fea\u00adture real human beings. Arti\u00adfi\u00adcial intel\u00adli\u00adgence sys\u00adtems are already sophis\u00adti\u00adcat\u00aded enough to fab\u00adri\u00adcate entire bod\u00adies con\u00advinc\u00ading\u00adly.\u2026 It sim\u00adply won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do any\u00admore to try to elic\u00adit post-Chris\u00adt\u00adian out\u00adrage against porn by empha\u00adsiz\u00ading the pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty of sex traf\u00adfick\u00ading or exploita\u00adtion. In the era of dig\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adly-gen\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded con\u00adtent, the ques\u00adtion will no longer be, \u2018Who was hurt in the mak\u00ading of this\u2019 (for the prac\u00adti\u00adcal answer to that ques\u00adtion will be, \u2018No one\u2019). Rather, the ques\u00adtion will be, \u2018How am I <\/em>hurt by con\u00adsum\u00ading this,\u2019 and, \u2018Why is this objec\u00adtive\u00adly wrong<\/em> for me to enjoy?\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. How Chi\u00adna Mis\u00adcal\u00adcu\u00adlat\u00aded Its Way to a Baby Bust<\/a> (Liyan Qi, Wall Street Jour\u00adnal): \u201cFol\u00adlow\u00ading the data release, researchers from Vic\u00adto\u00adria Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty in Aus\u00adtralia and the Shang\u00adhai Acad\u00ade\u00admy of Social Sci\u00adences pre\u00addict\u00aded that Chi\u00adna will have just 525 mil\u00adlion peo\u00adple by the end of the cen\u00adtu\u00adry. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s down from their pre\u00advi\u00adous fore\u00adcast of 597 mil\u00adlion and a pre\u00adcip\u00adi\u00adtous drop from 1.4 bil\u00adlion now.\u201d Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded by a stu\u00addent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Mar\u00adry Young<\/a> (Kasen Stephen\u00adson, Stan\u00adford Review): \u201cAlthough I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m now twen\u00adty-four, I got mar\u00adried as a twen\u00adty-two year old under\u00adgrad. I then bid farewell to my dorm in Roble and moved into a cozy apart\u00adment beyond EVGR with my wife. I have found that most of my class\u00admates are con\u00advinced that mar\u00adriage is in their future, yet they are quite sur\u00adprised that I mar\u00adried so young. While it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to exer\u00adcise con\u00adtrol over any time\u00adline, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a strong advo\u00adcate for get\u00adting mar\u00adried young, espe\u00adcial\u00adly at Stan\u00adford where young mar\u00adriages are most uncom\u00admon.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Lure of Divorce<\/a> (Emi\u00adly Gould, The Cut): \u201cIt began to seem like I only ever talked to friends who had been through divorces or were con\u00adtem\u00adplat\u00ading them. One friend who didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know whether to split up with her hus\u00adband thought open\u00ading their mar\u00adriage might be the answer. Anoth\u00ader friend described the ease of shar\u00ading cus\u00adtody of his young daugh\u00adter, then admit\u00adted that he and his ex-wife still had sex most week\u00adends. In my chron\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly unde\u00adcid\u00aded state, I admired both of these friends who had found, or might have found, a way to split the dif\u00adfer\u00adence.\u201d\n
