How To Grow Old: Bertrand Russell on What Makes a Fulfilling Life
“If you can fall in love again and again,” Henry Miller wrote as he contemplated the measure of a life well lived on the precipice of turning eighty, “if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical… you’ve got it half licked.” Seven years earlier, the great British philosopher, mathematician, historian, and Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell (May 18, 1872–February 2, 1970) considered the same abiding question at the same […] -

"the Good Faith Yarns Tour is not a harmless community roadshow. It is an #Atlas-aligned propaganda truck rolling into ten towns over seventeen days, loaded with "free speech" framing, fronted by an #FSU council member, and anchored by Professor Paul Moon #ONZM — the #Pākehā #historian in a #Māori faculty whose career trajectory has made him structurally useful to this regime."

"It has been 85 years since #Nazi #Germany invaded #Lithuania and began exterminating its #Jewish population. The #Nazis were welcomed by a sympathetic public – a pool of sizable hit force for the #Holocaust, says #historian #SauliusSužiedėlis, professor emeritus at #MillersvilleUniversity in #Pennsylvania.
“For this reason, #Jews feel a deep sense of resentment, because they saw that it was mostly #Lithuanians who shot them at the pit. These were not just a handful of outcasts or deviants,” he says in an interview with LRT.lt."

"Many of us probably don’t imagine the #UnitedStates as a nation in which a tradition of #antisemitism reaches back to the original 13 colonies and has emerged in every generation. In her new #book, #historian #PamelaNadell carefully documents the #history of #discrimination, #conspiracytheories, and #violence against #Jews in our republic, as well as the resilience of #Jewish #Americans in resisting and organizing against antisemitism, both at home and abroad. This highly readable book offers an excellent introductory text for undergraduates, theological students, clergy, and adult study groups.
#Nadell defines antisemitism largely with #historical and contemporary examples rather than abstract theories. The term was coined by #WilhelmMarr in 1879 to distinguish the “modern #racial basis of #Jewhatred” from traditional Christian anti-#Judaism. The #author defines it as “#Jew hatred” and cites “many episodes of anti-Jewish animus” in #US history."

The Magnificent Loser: The Book I Wrote to Answer Two Words in Red Ink
Every writer carries a verdict he never agreed to. Mine was two words long, written in red marker across the title page of a play I cared about, by a historian whose judgment I had asked for and could not afford to ignore. BAD DRAMA. No note beneath it, no argument, no second page. I was in my twenties. I put the play in a drawer and told myself I had learned something useful about my own limits. It took me forty years to understand that I had learned the wrong lesson, and that the right one would take an entire book to say. […] -

Who does a signature so intricate and unusual? (Ahem, complete opposite of you-know-who with his black Sharpie marker). I searched for information about a Portuguese historian working around 1454 as being “the first racist”. Or rather, a historian tasked with making his patron look altruistic and just by justifying the slave trade from an African colony.
It’s hard to make the claim for “first racist” when his finished journal was hidden for centuries and only found as 2 copies (one abridged) in the mid 1800’s. But this name has emerged as a racist and looking at the Wikipedia entry here is his signature. Worth zooming in to see the details. I don’t know how he derived this signature from some version he used of Gomes Eanes de Zurara. #Zurara #Historian #Portuguese #Signature
