Robert Redford in The Candidate, black and white photo
Robert Redford died this week. He marked my youth! All the tributes are so well deserved. But why do so many of them fail to mention his great political movie, The Candidate (1972), where he plays an idealist running for Senate, who almost unwittingly ends up selling out.

Jeg skriver om Hannah Arendts relevanse i @morgenbladet.no i dag. Hennes analyser av totalitarismens framvekst, sannhetens vilkår i politikken, og politisk frihet er imponerende. Hun hadde en utrolig evne til å gripe det filosofisk og politisk relevante i konkrete hendelser!

Apologies: Arendt never said exactly this. She wrote some similar things, notably in “Truth and Politics”. But this is a jazzed up version. Is it AI generated? Or just someone’s creative poster-making?

(+) Lett å kritisere en bok for det den ikke gjør
Ulrik Eriksen mener at jeg ikke kan analysere film. Hvorfor? Fordi jeg er litteraturviter.
Jeg skriver om nærlesningens begrensinger i mitt svar til Ulrik Eriksen i Morgenbladet i dag. Er ikke veldig glad i dettte bildet, men slik er livet . www.morgenbladet.no/ideer/toril-...

A tall waterfall drops into a deep gorge, framed by moss-covered rocks and dark cliffs. Below, glacial-blue water swirls in a powerful stream, surrounded by dense green forest — a dramatic and moody Norwegian landscape.
It is our constitution day today, and celebrating Norway’s beauty this May 17th — with this beautiful Norwegian waterfall!🇳🇴 #nature #waterfall

The self-destruction of Justice: we know the pretty name it calls iself – Clemency! It remains, as is obvious, the privilege of the strongest, better still, their way of going beyond the law.

These lines in Nietzsche struck me this morning:
"It is possible to conceive of a society blessed with so great a consciousness of its own power as to indulge in the most aristocratic luxury of letting malefactors act with impunity. [. . .]
