Diogenes of Sinope: The Ancient Cynic
In the modern world, cynicism is not uncommon among people. In fact, according to an article by The Atlantic, since 1964, the percentage of those who trust in the U.S. government has dropped to 24%. Cynicism, in its contemporary meaning, is the idea that people are entirely motivated by self-interest, leading to a pessimistic and satirical view of the world. However, that has not always been the case. The ancient Greeks, who created the old version of the ideology, had a muc

What Really is ‘Healthy Eating’?
We have all seen 5 am lifestyle videos with home-cooked avocado and egg sandwiches for breakfast, mainly eating foods that have been advertised and marketed as healthy on the internet for ages. While it is mostly true that these foods are good for you, such as fruits and vegetables, often these foods aren’t able to replace the usual meals many Americans eat. Fast food, restaurants, and food companies have taken over the food industry, which, as many industries once were, made

Fine Arts for Teens: Petrushka the Fever Dream
“No other composer of this century has produced so many authentic masterpieces, each one so utterly original and yet also different from one another” (Bernstein, on Stravinsky’s Petrushka ) Stravinsky, the Lucky Procrastinator Stravinsky, to those who know anything at all about him, is only known for one thing: The Rite of Spring. The Rite follows the story of a girl in pagan Russia who ultimately dances herself to death, which would even prompt Rihanna to ask to “stop the

Interesting Philosophies, Part 1: Immanuel Kant
Why Care for Philosophy? There would be no modern science, psychology, mathematics, historical studies, or any subject requiring deep knowledge if it were not for philosophy. Philosophy has given Western civilization almost all of its intellectual merits and achievements. We would be stuck worshiping pagan gods and killing each other over loaves of bread if it were not for the ancients who laid a framework for civilization. Oftentimes in modern society, we overlook philosop

Homework by Daft Punk Celebrates its 26-Year Anniversary
While Daft Punk may have had a short discography (despite a career that spanned nearly three decades), they had an enormous impact on electronic music. They introduced new styles to the genre, revolutionized concerts, and left behind a catalog of timeless songs that will always be heard on the dance floor. Released on January 20, 1997, Homework marked the humble beginnings of Daft Punk. Before Daft Punk became what we now know them as today, the duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy

An Overview of Common Sense by Thomas Paine, Part 1: Of the Origin and Design of Government
It seemed like a theological commentary or some academic paper, and I would’ve walked right past it if it hadn’t been in the classics section of Barnes & Nobles. The dull brown leatherback made it indistinguishable from the leatherbound versions of the Bible or the copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra that sat right next to it: just one thing caught my eye. It sat face down on a shelf, and a unique etching was on its back, a snake cut up into different pieces with a caption in all-

Logan Paul Scams Countless With Cryptozoo Sham
From tasing dead rats to filming himself toying with a hanged corpse, Youtuber and influencer Logan Paul seems to have either no sense of morality or even less intelligence. Now, after another NFT scam, he appears to have finally hit the jackpot with CryptoZoo . This apparently “really fun game that makes you money.” Except… it can’t make you money unless your name is Logan Paul, Jeff Levin, Jake Greenbaum, or Eddie Ibanez, who made millions and stole more from everyone else.
