‘There is a common misconception that Google Translate, and now AI tools, are making language capabilities redundant. On the contrary, the skills and intellectual values that a “linguistic mindset” can instil are even more important in this age of rapid technological change.‘

“When anybody asks what a story is about, the only proper thing is to tell them to read the story. The meaning of fiction is not abstract meaning but experienced meaning.” Flannery O’Connor #FlanneryOConnor

The most alarming thing about the internet is how it kills our capacity for delight. People spend hours scrolling glass-eyed through content that brings only crumbs of amusement. Real joy is found in the real world: in reading, in starlight, in birdsong, in service to others.

'I believe in courtesy, the ritual by which we avoid hurting other's feelings by satisfying our own egos.' This reminds me of Newman's words: 'The true gentleman in like manner carefully avoids whatever may cause a jar or a jolt in the minds of those with whom he is cast.'

In 1940 George Orwell reported on the reading habits of children: Dickens, Shakespeare, Defoe, RL Stevenson and GK Chesterton. Incomprehensible now. I'm not sure our culture and politics can survive the accompanying loss of critical thinking, attention and intelligence.

My book, 'The Edges of the World' will be published in January. It's a tour of marginal places and a contention that everything important happens only at the edges: the centre contributes nothing but corruption. amazon.co.uk/Edges-World-ma…
