What do anti-West activists believe is the most likely outcome from dragging Western Civilization down like a wounded gazelle? Is there a consensus as to what will replace it?
Ai is here to stay. Students will use it at university, and they will use it throughout their working lives. The real question is not whether they should use AI. The real question is this.
How do we teach students to use Ai in a way that strengthens their critical thinking rather than replacing it?
Many people contend that the West is defined by Christianity, and not by the Greco-Romans. I contend that Christianity itself is Greco-Roman, because Hellenized people like the apostle Paul structured its theology through the influence of Platonism. The New Testament itself was written in Greek. Am I being fair?
Many great civilizations declined after periods of prosperity. Are there historical warning signs from Rome, Renaissance Italy, or elsewhere that you see in the modern West?
Do you think the universities are salvageable? It’s not obvious to me they are more ideologically corrupt than the German universities of the 1930s, and many of those are still around. So what’s different this time?
Since the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Western Europe has almost always been politically divided. How important has that been in Europe's success?
Is it true that Palestrina's "Pope Marcellus Mass" is what kept the Council of Trent from outright banning music in the Catholic Church? Was there any real risk of that happening?
You must be aware and immensely irritated that Western Civilisation, "the Renaissance" and its literary canon have been singled out for special censure and even dispensed with as a "detail of history". Is it time to go unapologetically full-on against cultural relativism and and loudly trumpet our own?
What is the toughest/darkest thing people in the west are going to have to except in order for it to survive with its core values intact?

Why has the west built so few monuments to its culture and ideals in the post WW2 years?

Are Western countries mimicking the Renaissance by looking for new wisdom in indigenous/non-Western cultures?
