I swear when I was a child and saw the logo I thought this dude was oooooooooooooooolllllllllllldddddddddd. His face I recall crinkling with wrinkles in the TV ads when he smiled. But now he just looks normal, not ancient. Yeah he’s got white hair but I’m pretty sure that’s just those powdered wigs. Option 1: they made him look younger. Option 2: I am no longer 9 years old.
Aeon is a pretty serious publication that presents a place for publishing academic or academic adjacent thought for a wider audience. They’ll have essays written by all kinds of people from all over the world, so your mileage may vary by article, but as far as reliable and trustworthy publishers go, they’re an excellent organization.
Nice, thanks for cluing me in! That’s what it seemed like at the time, read a buncha stuff there way back when. Wasn’t sure how it might have shifted (or how I might find it today, having shifted myself).
Sounds like high time for me to go do some browsing over there again.
