It's as if LGBTQ+ is now a real word, like YHWH, a New Covenant (minus the god bit). What was the real state of affairs that inspired this new/old ideology promising pansexual bliss?

So what's with Putin's anti-gay law?
- Written by Eric Walberg Эрик Вальберг/ Уолберг إيريك والبرغ

The Russian federal law "for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating a Denial of Traditional Family Values", also referred to in English-language media as Russia's gay propaganda law, is intended to protect children from being taught that homosexuality is a norm in society, that it contradicts traditional family values. Hmm. Sounds okay. Gays find male-female sex disgusting, don't reproduce, so they don't qualify as traditional family. And is it really such a good idea to teach children that gay sex is just the same as male-female sex, equally deserving of respect? Equal before the law? Only a few decades ago, this would have been anathema, while Putin's law would have been seen as American as apple pie, or dare I say, motherhood.

Review: Graciela Mochkofsky, The prophet of the Andes: An unlikely journey to the promised land, 2022.

The evolution of beauty: fox vs hedgehog
- Written by Eric Walberg Эрик Вальберг/ Уолберг إيريك والبرغ

Keats famously proclaimed 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye need to know.' A great romantic meme (Keats died of TB, a bachelor, at 26), but honesty, truth are lousy guides to understanding beauty in the world. How many times have you been fooled by a pretty face (or fooled someone with your pretty face)?
In The evolution of beauty: How Darwin's forgotten theory of mate choice shapes the animal world---and us (2017), Richard Prum coins a word for Keats's fatuous meme: flatitude. A faux insight acquiring supposed profundity by flattening the intellectual complexity of the world. Contrast that with Shakespeare's Hamlet telling gorgeous Ophelia to take a hike:
