Exclusive: How Republican Candidate Doug Burgum Would Use Artificial Intelligence as President

It's no secret that Steve Jobs was an avid proponent and practitioner of yoga and meditation. The creative genius was not shy about his personal quest for enlightenment, or how he believed such endeavors that guided him toward it also guided his success. But the quiet solace of such practices was not the only practice at play.

Marcus Aurelius on How to Begin Each Day: The Stoic Recipe for Unassailable Sanity and Inner Peace - The Marginalian

“Take everything that’s bright and beautiful in you and introduce it to the shadow side of yourself,” the wise and wonderful Parker Palmer counseled the young in his superb Naropa Unviersity commencement address. Only by accepting our own interior contradictions and dualities, he argued, are we liberated to put the shadow’s power in service of the good in the exterior world.

This seems like a particularly timely message, urgently needed in a culture intolerant of duality, where we hasten to polarize everything into good and bad, unfailingly placing ourselves in the former category and the Other — whether their otherness is manifested in race, gender, orientation, or sports team preference — in the latter. And yet the message is a timeless one, most piercingly articulated two millennia earlier in the writings of Marcus Aurelius — the last of Ancient Rome’s Five Good Emperors and one of the most influential Stoic philosophers.

In his Meditations (public library | free ebook) — the same indispensable proto-blog that gave us the philosophic emperor on what his father taught him about honor and humility — Marcus Aurelius, translated here by Gregory Hays, offers a remarkable recipe for how to begin each day in order to live with maximum sanity and inner peace:

Kenya's school floggings: The children suffering from a hidden epidemic - BBC News

Caleb Mwangi was beaten so severely at his school in Kenya after he took extra food at breakfast that he was put into an induced coma and spent 11 days in an intensive care unit.

"When I got there, he couldn't leave his bed. He couldn't speak," his father Fred Mwangi told the BBC.

This happened nearly two years ago when Caleb was 13 years old. Sitting now between his mother and father on the sofa in their home in Mombasa, a city on Kenya's coast, he says he tends to zone out from time to time.

Patrick Stewart Boldly Goes There - The New Yorker

When “Star Trek: The Next Generation” premièred, in 1987, a newspaper referred to its leading man as an “unknown British Shakespearean actor.” Patrick Stewart was already forty-seven and had spent fourteen years as a full-time member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. But he had known nothing like the fame that playing Jean-Luc Picard—captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise and model of enlightened masculinity—would soon bring him. When he showed up on set the next day, a castmate had taped a sign on his trailer door that read “BEWARE: UNKNOWN BRITISH SHAKESPEAREAN ACTOR.”

Stewart is now eighty-three, having spent nearly half his life as Jean-Luc Picard, and he’s been reflecting on the unlikely trajectory that brought him from an impoverished childhood in the North of England to the final frontier. As a boy in Mirfield, an industrial town in Yorkshire, he had no hot running water, refrigeration, or toilet in his house. “Mirfield boys like me weren’t expected to have lofty ambitions. Certainly none that would ever take me into outer space,” he writes in his new autobiography, “Making It So.”

“I am in unknown territory,” Stewart told me recently. “I’ve never written anything before, other than maybe a two-hundred-word introduction or a thank-you letter.” He was in a sitting room in a hotel in Manhattan, where his third wife, the musician Sunny Ozell, was topping off his coffee. Stewart had been asked to write his life story before, but he always declined. “I never had the time to do it. But then my agent, early in 2020, said, ‘Look, Patrick, there is no work. It’s going to be a shut down everywhere, and it could last for months. This is the only window, so why not give it a go? If it doesn’t work out, we’ll just return the advance, and you can go back to doing jigsaw puzzles.”
