Patrick Collison’s year-end long tweet about reading important classic works of fiction convinced me that could be a good way to unscramble my brain. People in the past could not have been dramatically smarter than people today. But I do think it’s pretty clear that denizens of a less-entertaining, more boredom-filled time had a greater capacity for certain kinds of mental exertion than we do. So, I figured, why not do a mental workout and take time to read novels every day, particularly in the mornings and evenings, in lieu of both waking and sleeping to the yelps of the infinite scroll?

The Catholic Church is both conservative and liberal, both ordered and open, both a builder of walls and a builder of bridges. To seize upon one side at the expense of the other is necessarily to misunderstand her.

We have a candidate for best essay of 2025. It’s that good. I wish this piece existed when I was young. It might have helped me live a bit differently.
