Every generation thinks morality is collapsing. Socrates said it. 2 Timothy said it. Your parents said it. The data consistently disagrees with all of them.

We are becoming more moral, not less. So why all the moaning to the contrary?

The idea we're going to hell in a handcart still persists. Apparently, we've been on the way for millennia. I'm not sure we're any closer.

34% of Gen Z: no religion. 18% explicitly atheist or agnostic. The least religious generation in American history isn't trending back.

Z: The least religious generation ever

As fewer Americans are raised with religion, fewer will go on to be religious, and when they have children, ever fewer of them will be.

Ethics in Ukraine’s Musical War

With the outbreak of war in 2022, the patriotic song once again became for Ukrainians a form of collective unity and conscious resistance. This is a stable function of art in times of war. However, when Ukraine’s domestic war has already lasted longer than the First World War, it seems that everything has been placed at stake upon the heavy fate of the Ukrainian people: both the choice of the future and the interpretation of the past. The question of the role of culture in the vital rituals by which Ukrainians have lived for almost four years recedes into the shadow of a war that appears to be transforming into an all-consuming fire.

The resurrection of Ethical Culture

Perhaps Ethical Culture, a humanist congregational movement, is dead. But perhaps it can be resurrected. What would that take?

Pacific Northwest modernists rejected the 'mystic' label. They wanted credit for intentionality. In an AI art world, that fight has never been more relevant.

Beyond Mysticism: Authenticity in an AI-generated world

Can AI create art that expresses the spiritual impulse, or is that solely the domain of humans?
