Students of the humanities are quick to defend their fields of study. We have to qualify the value of our disciplines to more practical ears that are deaf to the more romantic humanities sales pitch. We tout the reading and writing skills that are timeless in their marketability when we really want to talk about Walt Whitman.

There’s a piece by contemporary poet Tao Lin I like to quote often, called “i will learn how to love a person and then i will teach you and then we will know.” There are “small children” who use “declarative sentences and then look at your face with an expression that says, ‘you’ll never do enough.’”

Poor Rick Santorum. He will never have “the elite smart people on (his) side.”

Before writing this column, I was forced to answer a complicated question: What came first, the failing student or the failing education system?

I was introduced to politics and sexism the same year. I was 10, and Hillary Clinton was vying for the New York Senate seat. For the first time, the state of New York would have its first woman senator. The little girls in my fifth grade class, bouncing with vivacity, saw themselves as little Hillary Clintons, eager to shatter the glass ceiling years before they would encounter it.

It’s hard to write about hipsters. Hipsterism is a movement embedded in irony and contradictions, so it’s not easy to nail down.

Maura Kelly’s “Slow-Books Manifesto” couldn’t have come at a better time. Published by The Atlantic two days after the film release of "The Hunger Games", Kelly’s manifesto reminds readers to exert “greater control over what goes into (our) brains.” It begins with a cadence by author Michael Pollan: “Read books. As often as you can. Mostly classics.”

Since moving to Arizona, I’ve noticed that state legislators follow the ethos of their geography quite faithfully. Like the Sonoran desert that eliminates species that are unable to adapt to the extreme climate, Arizona's legislators rid the state of cultural invaders through a similar climate — one of extreme politics.

A few months ago, I deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts and created completely new ones. There was an image I needed to project and I knew I had to be careful with what I posted.

If you believe, like Ronald Reagan, that America is the “shining city upon a hill,” or, like President Obama, that you can “contribute to a story of success,” then you’re not alone. You are in the company of millions of Americans who think the U.S. is qualitatively different from other countries, with a very specific destiny to claim.

Perhaps saying that we are members of a lost generation is misleading. Let’s say, instead, that we are post-ironic or that we are members of a post-intellectual generation.

As Caliban said to his oppressor, Prospero, in William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” “You taught me language and my profit on’t / Is I know how to curse.”
