Column: Technology, sex and communication - the modern burden of lightness

"Everything that is good is light, what is divine runs on delicate feet: first principle of my aesthetic,” declares Nietzsche in “The Case of Wagner.” Paul Valery claims in his notebooks that “(t)he preparation of a work consists of laboriously granting oneself the liberty of executing it lightly.” In his “Six Memos for the New Millennium,” Italo Calvino calls for lightness to combat “the slow petrification” of the world caused by “the inexorable stare of Medusa.”

Clinton was a no-marriage-equality pioneer, and while LGBTQ+ issues go beyond marriage, it’s difficult to forget anti-marriage stances.
