Numbness
What's it like to feel nothing at all?
Whatβs it like to feel nothing at all?
To stare at the world, feeling so small
No joy or sorrow to stir up inside
Emotions all muted, no place to reside
Life becomes a monotonous haze
A never-ending cycle without any grace
No highs to lift you up to the sky
No lows to make you breakdown and cry
Every day passes by in a blur
No pain or pleasure, no things to deter
A life without feelings may seem appealing
But in the end, it's empty and unappealing
So hold onto your emotions, big and small
They make you human, they make you stand tall
For a life without feeling, no highs or lows
Is a life that's barren, with nothing to behold.

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on visionβwhen they are not correctedβhave the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in βso-called expertsβ is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
