Sunday assorted links
1. The conservative women who are ‘having it all’ (WSJ). I know more and more of such people.
2. Henry Mance on charisma (FT).
3. This ad was banned from UK TV? Is the Straussian read that it is actually an ad for Americans to view?
4. Ezra and Yoram Hazony (NYT). Mostly I am with Ezra here. I agree with Hazony that some notion of national centrality is important. But in a world with lots of internet, AI on its way, and declining fertility, we have to forge the new blend in very different ways than we did the old. And some form of liberalism is most likely to succeed in doing that, since, whether we like it or not, the future will involve massively more foreign influences of particular kinds than did the 1950s. There just isn’t a way back to how we did it before, whatever you may think of the various earlier versions of America.
