"The lie, grave as it may be, still presupposes an implicit respect for truth. Bullshit treats it as optional. And for that reason, as Frankfurt observes, it is far more corrosive to democratic life.” Stefano Carpani reviewed our anniversary edition of On Bullshit by Harry Frankfurt for La Stampa 🇮🇹

"Beyond Belief" by @helenpearson.bsky.social is a gripping account of the evidence revolution: the ongoing effort to apply experimental data to everything from conservation to parenting. https://loom.ly/xEYR1YA

The era of pure economics is over. Trump's tariffs signal a shift to "geoeconomics" - where commerce serves statecraft, not markets. Like the 1930s, politics now trumps profit. Countries weaponize trade, finance & supply chains. The pendulum has swung from globalization back to power politics
