Notes from the Grid: Rediscovering the Hidden Life

Published: April 26, 2022, 4 a.m.

An episode from 4/26/22: Tonight, I begin a five-part series called Notes from the Grid. (A print version of NFTG has since been published.) In this first part, figures as various as Kurt Cobain, Michelangelo, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Albert Einstein are called on to ask: why do so few of us find meaning in private experiences, private thoughts? What does fame do to the people and ideas and events we love and want to remember? And why does our attitude towards privacy and fame seem to convince us that meaning can only come from our participation in outward, public, or historical events?
