Languages in the Neural Ocean
Paris Forge
The brain is an ocean filled with ships of thought, islands of memory, and the deep trenches of the subconscious.
Today's voyage is about some of the trade routes in this ocean that are related to language.
Drawing from neuroscience and cognitive science, we examine how the bilingual brain builds and navigates multiple language systems. Do different languages live on separate islands, or do they share neural pathways beneath the surface? And how might lifelong bilingualism provide the brain with new tools?14 Feb, 2026
The New Superfans: Stans
Paris Forge
There are microcosms of highly dedicated fans on the internet who are called stans. They are the modern superfans, dedicating part of (or all of) their online identity to what they idolize. In the online world, they're given access to their celebrities on an unprecedented scale. There are pros and cons to this new form of parasocial relationship, and it's primarily the young who engage in it. They are as significant an online social force as haters. As time passes, the tight-knit communities of stans shift and develop at alarming rates of complexity.
