I feel almost personally affronted when I notice a book reviewer lying about the work they’re attacking (“Does this critic hold their own readers in such contempt?), so it was very satisfying to read Anastasia Berg ‘s thoughtful evisceration of Moira Donegan

For The Point Magazine, I wrote about Moira Donegan’s serial attacks on anyone willing to treat the mounting personal ambivalence about having children and/or the prospect of exponential depopulation with a shred of curiosity, rigour and respect thepointmag.substack.com/p/bringing-up-…

I obvs care about women, feminism, and the role of children in human life but the key target here is the toxic strategy mix—denial (gaslighting), guilt by association and slander. In this way, its a sequel to my and Jon Baskin's 2019 letter on denialism. thepointmag.com/politics/on-de…

Great from Anastasia Berg: Some lefties respond to mild heterodoxy - such as merely acknowledging an ideologically inconvenient fact - by 1) denying the fact, 2) thereby concluding that those who speak about it have vile motives, and 3) proving this by lying about what they argue.

In our book, Rachel Wiseman and I describe how an age where children/parenting was an urgent topic in feminist discourse gave way to a moratorium on the topic. For all of discourse's faults, it's exciting to see these questions publicly thought through, by feminists, once more

Spoiling for a fight, so: what if "Meaning" (as in "kids are the only thing that will give you True Meaning" OR "you can get as much/more meaning from other things") is not a useful concept but a philosophical embarrassment. A plague on both your houses, meaning mongers!

To Megan Fritts's brilliant and, unfortunately, all too rare warning against the illiteracy AI will usher in, I'd only add: it will not be distributed equally. Academics already sheepishly mutually assure one another how sparing their *own* children will pay off dividends...

This is an important point. Many who advocate AI use as a way of increasing educational equity are, unfortunately, going to accomplish the exact opposite.
