I first saw
I first saw Field of Dreams on 25 December 1993, on ITV. My father had died on 11 January 1992. If you want to, you can stop reading now, because you don’t have to be a psychologist to work out why Field of Dreams made me cry.

№ 836. The Moral Bucket List
ABOUT once a month I run across a person who radiates an inner light. These people can be in any walk of life. They seem deeply good. They listen well. They make you feel funny and valued. You often catch them looking after other people and as they do so their laugh is musical and their manner is infused with gratitude. They are not thinking about what wonderful work they are doing. They are not thinking about themselves at all.

№ 833. Federer
“I’m trying to get better at golf,” Federer mused, “I would love to start with an instrument again. I used to play the piano, so when I have more time, I’d like to dive into that because my four children and my wife play the piano.
“I hope I’m a good listener and a good decision-maker. Hopefully I’m a guy who people enjoy being around. I’m a big family guy. I love being surrounded by my friends – that’s really the priority in my life.”

№ 830. The medieval understanding of intelligence is exactly what we need in the age of A.I.
In a recent essay in America, Terence Sweeney drew attention to Pope Leo XIV’s consistent concern with education in his writings, including in “Magnifica Humanitas.” Mr. Sweeney noted the pope’s attention to a new reality: that in an age of artificial intelligence, especially in light of what the pope labels a “technocratic paradigm,” we are experiencing “certain currents of thought that interpret progress as surpassing the human condition, and which are often grouped under the labels of transhumanism and posthumanism.”
