Reid Hoffman | Far too often, debates about technology fall into crude dichotomies – humans versus machines, utopia versus dystopia – that distract from the matter at hand. Rather than fixating on extremes, we should adopt a more nuanced and historically informed view of our tools, and of ourselves.

Joschka Fisher | One direct result of Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression has been the emergence of a new authoritarian bloc comprising Russia and China, as well as North Korea, Iran, and others. As these relationships deepen, the world will move further down the path to outright bifurcation.

Richard Sherwin | Republican politicians have lately been turning up at Trump’s trial to demonstrate solidarity with the former president. But their attendance also serves a more alarming purpose: to validate Trump as a competing source of sovereign power, independent of the US Constitution.

Anders Aslund | For more than two years, Western governments have trickled weapons and ammunition into Ukraine, sometimes with little coordination. The sooner they can embrace a collective strategy based on shared objectives, the better it will be for everyone.

Peter Singer | Undoubtedly, some anti-Semites have used student protests as cover for stirring up hatred of anyone Jewish, irrespective of their views on what is happening in Gaza. But to characterize the protests as comparable to Nazi anti-Semitism, as Binyamin Netanyahu has done, is grotesque.

IAN BURUMA | The ideological underpinnings of the Pro-Palestine protests on American campuses connect Israel’s war in Gaza to all other forms of oppression.

Laurence Tubiana | Bold new policies are needed to mobilize public funding for climate-change mitigation and adaptation, and there is a strong case for progressive taxes on carbon-intensive activities and extreme wealth.
