Talking Punk, Nirvana, and the Ethics of Art Under Capitalism With Steve Albini
Last week, legendary musician and audio engineer Steve Albini died at the age of 61. Albini helped define alternative rock in the 1980s and ’90s through work with bands like Nirvana, Pixies, and Jesus Lizard.
Daniel Bessner from the Nation podcast American Prestige got a chance to interview Albini in August 2020 to discuss his career and the state of the music industry today for a forthcoming podcast that will examine the political and economic history of grunge and Nirvana.… Read more
The Complicated Ethics of Rare-Book Collecting
In 1939, Ernest Hemingway left a large collection of his belongings—the manuscript of his earliest short story, childhood trinkets, memorabilia from his time at war, intimate letters, books, and more—in a storeroom behind Sloppy Joe’s, a bar he frequented in Key West that was owned by some friends of his. When Penn State University’s Toby and Betty Bruce Collection of Ernest Hemingway acquired the items in 2021, it represented the most significant trove of Hemingway memorabilia discovered in generations. But
The Dubious Ethics of “the World’s Most Ethical Companies”
Ethisphere has a proprietary metric for assessing how morally correct companies are. This year, it gave an award to Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer.
Eighteen years ago, in the wake of a series of fraudulent business scandals where major companies used accounting sleights of hand to cook their books, fool regulators, and gouge customers, people were fed up. So, the Ethisphere Institute
The father of Nvidia’s controversial AI gaming tool talks ethics
Earlier this month, I witnessed a digital miracle. In a press briefing ahead of CES, Nvidia showed off a demo for its Ace microservice, an AI suite capable of generating fully voiced AI characters. I watched in awe as a demoist spoke to an in-game NPC through a microphone, only to have the digital character respond in real time. It was a true sci-fi feat, but there was one question: How did it learn to do that?
Nvidia gave

Southern Baptist Ethics Arm verstärkt seine Unterstützung für das Red-Flag-Gesetz von Tennessee trotz Pushback
Die öffentliche Ordnungsbehörde der Southern Baptist Convention verdoppelte ihre Unterstützung für ein sogenanntes Red-Flag-Gesetz in Tennessee, obwohl viele Pastoren und Kirchenmitglieder beteuerten, dass sie den Schritt nicht unterstützen.
Der Präsident der Ethik- und Religionsfreiheitskommission, Brent Leatherwood, sandte letzte Woche einen Brief an die Gesetzgeber des Bundesstaates, um das vorgeschlagene Red-Flag-Statut des republikanischen Gouverneurs von Tennessee, Bill Lee, zu unterstützen, das den Staatsbeamten zusätzliche Befugnisse verleihen würde, um Personen, die als gefährdet gelten, Schusswaffen wegzunehmen oder Andere. Der Vorschlag folgt einer
Airline-Einnahmen des Kongressabgeordneten, während entsprechende Rechnungen, Proxy-Voting, Warrants Ethics Probe durchgedrückt werden: Watchdog
Das Sponsoring eines Kongressabgeordneten für Gesetzentwürfe, die die Luftfahrtindustrie betreffen – während es Einnahmen vom größten kommerziellen Flugbetreiber in Hawaii sowie „Missbrauch der Stimmrechtsvertretung“ erzielt – rechtfertigt eine ethische Untersuchung, sagte eine Überwachungsgruppe am Dienstag.
Als der hawaiianische Demokrat Kaialiʻi Kahele im vergangenen Januar zum ersten Mal in den Kongress gewählt wurde, trat er dem Transport- und Infrastrukturausschuss und seinem Luftfahrtunterausschuss bei. Der 48-jährige Kongressabgeordnete arbeitet nach Angaben seines Sprechers immer noch als Pilot für Hawaiian Airlines. Letztes Jahr hat
Is Ginni Thomas a Threat to the Supreme Court?
In December, Chief Justice John Roberts released his year-end report on the federal judiciary. According to a recent Gallup poll, the Supreme Court has its lowest public-approval rating in history—in part because it is viewed as being overly politicized. President Joe Biden recently established a bipartisan commission to consider reforms to the Court, and members of Congress have introduced legislation that would require Justices to adhere to the same types of ethics standards as other judges. Roberts’s report, however, defiantly
Doja Cat, Dr. Luke, and the Murky Ethics of Pop
Eras of music are commonly defined by particular sounds. The ’80s had gated reverb, the aughts had Timbaland’s beats, and the early 2020s have had the froggy, rasping splendor of Doja Cat’s voice. On a slew of recent hits and on her new, third album, Planet Her, the 25-year-old rapper and singer continues to prove she has an extremely now sensibility: steeped in online humor, thrilled by physical pleasure, and adaptable to whatever sound or situation gets thrown at
