The word nobody is looking at There is a word doing a great deal of quiet work in our culture right now, and almost nobody is looking at it: artificial. We say it without noticing. Artificial intelligence, as if the matter were settled. As if we...
Without our quite realising it, a quiet conviction lives as an undercurrent within us: that we are only an insignificant part of an infinitely vast and magnificent creation. We look up at the night sky and feel ourselves a drop in the ocean, a grain...
