Alex O’Connor and I debated at LevelUp 2025 on the question, “Free Will: Do You Have It?”, and we covered a lot of interesting ground.

The ‘Purely Musical’ Madison Cunningham
Madison Cunningham—who released her first full album on August 16, 2019—is musically mature, but like many of the people her songs describe, she still is trying to figure out who she is.
McCartan Delighted in the Sensual World
Edward McCartan—born on August 20, 1879—was one of America's greatest sculptors. High above Park Avenue—and in a few scattered museums—McCartan’s art still remains, an expression of delight in the sensual world.
