Lajos Prohászka as a Crisis Philosopher — Part III

Tucker’s Grocery Store and the Decline of the West

‘While Budapesters aren’t wealthy, their lives are safe, purposeful, and filled with objective beauty. They perceive that they are temporary stewards of a valuable human condition and assume their descendants ought to inherit it; society is to be preserved, rather than consumed. Mothers with infants and other young children are an unmistakable element of the Hungarian capital. I always felt comfortable when my wife walked alone at night. Violent crime and discarded needles are nonexistent. This is life in the former Eastern Bloc.’

A Plan Failed Miserably — For the Benefit of All

For once again it failed to take into account nothing less than human nature.

When Parents Form the Online Identity of Their Children

Sharenting, a portmanteau of sharing and parenting, refers to the practice of parents (or even grandparents) regularly sharing photos and information about their (grand)children on social media platforms. Some prefer to use the term oversharenting, highlighting that issues concerning the infringement of the privacy rights of children are not necessarily linked to the fact that parents post content about their loved ones on these platforms, but that they do it in an excessive and arbitrary way, which crosses a line.
