Simply stunned by this extraordinarily thoughtful, profound review by Ben Tarnoff in @NewYorker: "Lowry Pressly’s new book . . . defies this pattern. It is a radiantly original contribution to a conversation gravely in need of new thinking."

What a line
“ The lonely hour—and truly it would be a lonely one—when we finally become ourselves never arrives.”
One of the most lucid, moving essays of the last few years

Great stuff here. My dyslexic brain read the subtitle as “And if so what is it?” which would have been a good one, too

There’s been public discourse abt information & privacy, but none I’ve encountered as deeply thoughtful & rooted in broader human context as that which I was delighted to discover in the work of Lowry Pressly. This review of his book, The Right to Oblivion, is likewise phenomenal

Fascinating convo w/ @LowryPressly & @econtalker exploring why privacy isn't just about data and information—it's about spontaneity and depth. Worth a listen! 🎧

@LowryPressly joins @econtalker to explore why privacy goes beyond just secrets or managing information, the need for spontaneity, the significance of moral development, and how we can achieve our full humanity. loom.ly/G8PoRtc
I had a blast talking with @EconTalker about privacy, secrets, and dancing like nobody is watching (among much else)
Let me be forgotten--the cry of the modern age for many. My conversation with @LowryPressly on the right to oblivion, his marvelous book.

a tremendous essay about a tremendous painter--I came away from it as from ND's paintings, with a sudden, subtle sense of seeing the world through newish eyes
I had the privilege to write about the beautiful artist Noah Davis, his stunning yet unsteady & unsettling visual language, his battle with cancer & my own struggle with the disease for @ElephantMag.
