Political satire is at its best when it transcends the limitations of partisan thinking. “Don’t Look Up” fails to do this.

From the desert of modernity, there is a path, and that is the path of tradition and return—as in the soul’s return to God.

If de Beauvoir’s elders can be accused of mistaking repression for virtue, then she and her intellectual peers were blind to the fact that over-indulgence is not freedom, but, instead, ranks among the most irresponsible forms of neglect.
