My @unherd profile of @sunraysunray, a key thinker behind the DSA, the founding editor of Jacobin, and the president of The Nation — who wants the Left to embrace order on vice, quality of life, and beyond.
And a massive thanks to Sunkara for his time.

Slowly, gently, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pushing the Left to reclaim social order---a normative vision of the good life.
Behind this push is, in part, a person: Jacobin founder Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray, interview in Unherd this weekend.

Each in their own way, President Trump and @linamkhan offered a rational approach to AI regulation this week --- as opposed to the panic being stoked by some in the industry, apparently aimed at regulatory capture.

Why is cosmetic surgery treated as just another form of self-care, rather than self-mutilation?

Making his UnHerd magazine debut today, William Matthews argues that liberalism will not adequately contain the ructions caused by AI, and that the CCP system – tightly controlled and far ahead on robotics – is best placed to take advantage.

Low-trust societies breed week kids, by Marilyn Simon
The entire education system can feel very much like a nosy neighbour whose best intentions for the convictions of your child interfere dangerously with your own. It is not uncommon for a mother to feel her influence over her child cede to the pervasive influence of the system. In the saddest cases, one’s child interiorises the authority of public opinion and becomes, not merely alienated from her parents, but contemptuous of them.

The English Question, by Aris Roussinos (@arisroussinos)
The progressive claim that the English, alone among human societies, do not exist as an ethnic group is so absurd as to be unworthy of discussion: it is simply a means of evading the question of what political importance should be attached to being of English ancestry in the very land named after their ethnic group.
If the reasoning is that the path to racial harmony lies in removing the English, alone, from the long list of the world’s ethnic groups, against the will of those who both are and believe themselves to be such, then permit me the adopted English understatement of saying that the outcome will not be positive.
