Dear Readers,
As those of you who’ve been around for a while know, every summer the Berlinski family—père, fils, fille, grand-fils, belle-soeur, chien, et amis— sets out for a week of adventure in the French boondocks. It’s that time! Tomorrow, we pack our bags and head off to another mystery destination, sight unseen, in the middle of nowhere.
The Cosmopolitan Globalist will not be on hiatus. We’ll all be bringing a bit of work with us. But the next ten days will feature some unusual programming. Maybe I’ll coax my Pop into a podcast or two. (Are there any subjects about which you’d especially like his views?) Maybe my sister-in-law will tell us about her adventures as a UN Peacekeeper. Maybe Leo will explain how he plans to surf on Mars. I’ll ask Yuri Deigin to tell us how close we really are to curing aging and death. Maybe I’ll take all of you on a gentle tour of the French countryside. And certainly we’ll have a discussion of the local terroir and the world’s best cigars.
We’ll focus on lovely and happy things, because I sure don’t want to think about chaos, inflation, and famine during a family vacation—and I figure you could probably use a break from that, too.
Stay tuned for Global Eyes: Pleasantly Sloshed Edition.
Love,
—Claire
This should be fun!
Whoa ... at first glance, I thought you were issuing an invitation!
But ... that brings up an idea... what about a Cosmopolitan Globalist Cruise? Several American political groups do this, to raise money for their publications, and there are 'Classics Lovers Cruises' from the UK.
Now, maybe there are not -- yet -- enough CosMoGlo's to make this viable. But it's an idea worth keeping in mind. Less ambitiously, what about a Cosmopolitan Summer Camp, in France? With speakers, debates, etc? Like the annual fete organized by Lutte Ouvriere in Paris? [ https://fete.lutte-ouvriere.org/ ] (Learn from the enemy!)
