Welcome to ETW, your weekly source for what’s worthwhile from the worlds of literature, education, Christian thought, and the humanities. Take a look around and see what catches your eye. The week we’re headed to YouTube for a full-on extravaganza. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week here in the States, so please consider this edition my note of appreciation to all the teachers out there, fighting the good fight. I hope you snag a gift card or two this week. Maybe grab a little treat from the break room. You earned it.
Thank you for the recommendation Andrew. Much appreciated.
And that poem by Mr. Berry on real work is excellent.
"The mind that is not baffled is not employed" - this is why I argue so strongly that AI content is not real art, prose etc. The mind is not baffled or engaged when producing this content. There is no sweating or labouring over words, no wrestling with an argument or colour palette.
The conversation with Russell Moore and Ethan Hawke was a pairing I would have never imagined possibly ever happening and yet there it was. Delightful.

Thanks Andrew. Happy to be 'catnip', a word which can be equally applied to ETW. Another pleasing issue!
Lovely to see Paul Henry too.

I've always loved listening to Jerry's writing advice. "Writing in one the hardest things that you can do."
