The Telegraph: BBC chairman dismisses staff complaints of anti-Semitism in workplace
A storm brews at the BBC as over 200 staff claim systemic anti-Semitism, demanding an investigation into a hostile work environment for Jews. Chairman Samir Shah's dismissal of their concerns is met with accusations of gaslighting and disdain.

Forbes: Amazon Shares Slide After E-Commerce Giant Underperforms On Revenue Expectations
Amazon's stock took a hit, dropping over 5% in after-hours trading after the company announced second-quarter earnings that fell short of expectations. Revenue of $147.98 billion didn’t impress; analysts had pegged it at $148.7 billion, despite a decent earnings per share beat.
The outlook for the third quarter appears dim, with anticipated sales ranging between $154 billion and $158.5 billion, impacted by foreign exchange rates. Bezos still holds on to a substantial fortune, but the market’s mood turned sour in a flash.

The Imaginative Conservative: Euclid’s Geometry Seen Through the Glasses of Saint Augustine
Modern thinkers, brimming with confidence, often overlook the profound legacies of antiquity, particularly in geometry and philosophy. The misinterpretation by Lobachevsky and Bolyai of Euclid’s principles exemplifies a wider ignorance that dismisses ancient knowledge’s deeper significance.
Professor Aram Frenkian highlights this error, suggesting contemporary scholars' perception of superiority blinds them to the wisdom of ancient thought, proposing that true knowledge began with humanity’s inception rather than its evolution.

The Imaginative Conservative: Irving Babbitt: Moral Imagination & Progressive Education
Irving Babbitt lamented the erosion of the humanistic imagination, advocating for an educational elite grounded in ethical leadership rather than material gain. He argued that true education must nourish the moral imagination to foster community and wisdom, counteracting the utilitarian trends of his time.
Despite the myriad educational reforms that have emerged, Babbitt’s critique remains relevant, urging a return to deeper humanistic values over mere social adjustment. His vision encompassed a holistic education, prioritizing the assimilation of wisdom through literature and the arts to build moral citizens.
