Meaninglessness and Eternal Meaning

Two interesting reads to highlight this week: the first on meaningless corporate language, and the second on the meaning of society’s “decadence” and individual action.

Here’s Molly Young on why corporations speak the way they do (at Vulture, via Longreads): https://www.vulture.com/2020/02/spread-of-corporate-speak.html

And here’s Peter Thiel reviewing Ross Douthat (at First Things, via Farnam Street): https://www.firstthings.com/article/2020/03/back-to-the-future

Enjoy (?).
