The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what β€œworks,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

old school conservatives actually care about their country.

yes they're racist, homophobic, misogynist scumbags but their love for 'freedom and country' etc is sincere. they aren't nazis. bill kristol is similar.

liberals like ezra klein, on the other hand, only care about decorum and 'civility'.
