Desire, Delusion & The Rise Of Magical Thinking On TikTok
As our world slides further into chaos, it's not hard to understand why millions are turning to magical thinking. But is manifesting really the answer?

November 12, 1973 --- The day Philosophy & Public Affairs started treating Rawls like Jesus.
A letter on Philosophy & Public Affairs letterhead that reads: November 12, 1973 Professor Robert Nozick Department of Philosophy Emerson Hall Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 Dear Professor Nozick, I have been meaning to send you a note ever since you did not telephone the second time last week just to say that I decided after all to drop the offending post-apostrophes from the possessive of Rawls. This is, as I told you, according to the Chicago Manual of Style an honor due only to Moses and Jesus, but with us aesthetic considerations won out. The decision puts us somewhat in a class by ourselves -- I note that in Brian Barry's new book he and Oxford Press write Rawls's -- but I don't mind being different. I trust that you will not. sincerely， Margot Cutter
