This newsletter is coming to an end, but my inbox stays open to all of you.
Question of the Week
If I were to visit you on a journalistic fact-finding mission wherever you live or work or study, what would you show me to improve my understanding of the world, or at least your corner of it?
What insights, life experiences, or memories would you share?
Send your responses to conor@theatlantic.com or simply reply to this email.
Conversations of Note
I’d love to hear back from every one of you this week, because this is the last edition of the Up for Debate newsletter. Hereafter, I’ll be returning full-time to my other duties as a staff writer at The Atlantic. This week’s answers won’t be published, but I hope that they will inform future reporting.
I always want to keep my inbox open to all of you. In fact, if you just want to say hi, feel free to email me at conor@theatlantic.com. Your emails these past couple of years have been a pleasure to read and a highly informative glimpse into your beliefs, arguments, and values––I understand the world better from your words, and I hope you all understand the world better from having been exposed to one another.
As I publish new articles, they will appear here. And I’ll continue to welcome your feedback and reactions, and to give a close read to anything else that you care to send my way. Thank you to everyone who has participated in this newsletter, whether or not I happen to have published your particular emails. I also want to acknowledge and express my thanks to all of the editors, copy editors, and fact-checkers who have worked diligently to improve every edition.
Finally, my apologies to those of you who only recently signed up. If you care to delve into the archive to see some of the correspondence I’ve been lauding, here’s a list of subjects that readers have opined on: most recently, the state of local journalism, the moral status of pornography, misunderstood views, questions for university presidents, gender-divided social spaces, social life before digital technology, the foreign-policy issues that matter, whether humanity is better or worse off for having alcohol, and how to talk about the Middle East.
Or you can read about diverging approaches to social justice, what Israel can learn from America’s response to 9/11, what America could look like in 2050, Joe Biden’s age, driverless cars, trust in American institutions, the possibility of racial color-blindness, questions for Republican candidates, the song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” or the role of taboos in a liberal democracy.
You can explore what Donald Trump’s voters want, how the press covers race, affirmative action, compelling debate topics, media portrayals that are at odds with reality, the hazards of smartphones in classrooms, excellence in songwriting, the Ron DeSantis candidacy, marijuana legalization, Jordan Neely’s death, the ongoing debate about gender, the best cuisine on Earth, Trump’s legal woes, humanity’s place in the cosmos, urban versus suburban neighborhoods, the upsides and downsides of cars, faith and religion, or the woes of teen girls.
You can view the full archive of past newsletter editions here.
I’ll see you in the pages of The Atlantic and whenever you send me a note.
