* 09:02 - If you happen to catch yourself on the way to burnout, what should you do?

In this essay Cate Hall draws on her experience as a "connoisseur of burnout" to argue that the condition is far more damaging than simple stress. Using the metaphor of the "Elephant and the Rider," she illustrates how burnout occurs when our rational minds break a fundamental promise to our emotional selves. Hall explores why standard rest often fails to cure this internal breach and outlines the radical, honest steps required to restore the balance.

AI reading of The Renaissance Myth - By James Franklin.

In this essay, James Franklin challenges the familiar story of the Renaissance as a sudden rebirth of reason and progress, arguing instead that many of its celebrated claims rest on persistent historical myths. He contends that intellectual life in science, philosophy, and literature was often stronger in the High Middle Ages than in the Renaissance, and that the later period’s reputation owes more to self-promotion, art, and hindsight than to genuine advances in thought.
