Ted Gioia’s observations on the importance of ritual and how technology often creates a false facsimile of it. “When technology truly empowers life and promotes human flourishing, the results are ritualistic.” 13 Observations on Ritual — Ted Gioia
Richard Chappell on quantitative reasoning in ethics — against the all-or-nothing framing where numbers either dictate action or get dismissed as soulless. The basic point he’s making is that the alternative to quantitative reasoning is worse even if doing moral reasoning with numbers is complicated, murky or fraught. I like reading Richard because he offers the strongest form of arguments that I often disagree with. Good Judgment with Numbers — Richard Y Chappell
David Lebovitz on adapting Honest Chocolat’s brownie via Phil Rosenthal’s Somebody Feed Phil cookbook. Lebovitz accounts of eating things in France are very fun to read, and his recipes are great too. I’ve made his rice pudding with salted caramel sauce and people loved it. Phil’s Brownies — David Lebovitz
