Thoughts on Catholic Liturgy and Expressive Individualism
By Jadan Anderson, MC ‘22. Jadan is majoring in Economics.
The rhythms became one when I allowed liturgy to challenge the idea that authenticity is only the work of one pair of hands.
A Dialogue on Desire at Durfee’s
By Ben Colon-Emeric, TD ‘22. Ben is majoring in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.
Max: If I see that someone is more successful than me at something, I want to improve so that I can be as good as they are. It’s normal.
Joan: Is it normal though? You’re saying that you see someone succeeding and want to be like them so that you can feel better about yourself; isn’t that envy?
A Fear of Far Drops
By Bella Gamboa, JE ‘22. Bella is majoring in Humanities.
What, then, is the distinction between productive intellectual pursuits, and the destructive desire for preeminence that dooms Daedalus?
Dante and Desire
By Joseph Brownsberger, SM ‘21. Joe is majoring in Physics & Philosophy.
We live in an age of unprecedented liberty. The sheer number of choices available to us is staggering; we desire things that people in former ages never thought of. Along with these desires comes the power to satisfy many of them. Although this represents progress in many senses, the liberty that we have inherited has also been in large part squandered.
Kanye West and the King
By Jason Lee, TD ‘22. Jason is majoring in Global Affairs.
I'm not here to talk about quality. The general verdict seems to be that “Jesus is King” is a refreshing “Christian” album but a mediocre Kanye album that speaks more to the scope of contemporary gospel music than to anything else. The point is that whatever artistry Kanye commands, he’s had a tumultuous relationship with his faith.
The Weight of Expectations
By Serena Puang, DC ‘22. Serena is majoring in Linguistics.
“Why is having a brain so important to you?” he asks.
“How else am I going to do my job well?”
“I believe you already have.”
