Columbia Journalism Review: "Where Chuck Todd Failed" and I agree -
Chuck Todd channels "the very aspects of consensus practice in journalism that I hate: bothsidesism, false equivalence, an obsession with presidential politics, handwringing about ill-defined concepts like 'polarization,' a focus on political optics."

The free vs literal dichotomy of was written by philosophers, not translators. Nida's formal vs dynamic equivalence was intended as a tool for translators, not a way of classifying entire translations. Let's ditch the dichotomies. We don't need them. We never did.

Are you careful about your entrances and exits? Making sure that you always leave keep the counts of entries and exits thru a door equal? +1 going in, -1 exiting, so your endgame sum should always be zero. Learned about this one day while reading @neilhimself

What every theology Prof should know about translation (from a professional trained in translation and doing research in )

A deliberately public and hashtagged thread 🧵

1) Translators make lots of choices but they aren't about literal vs free or formal vs dynamic .

Even a single word can have multiple possible translations. Now multiply that to the sentence level.

No translator will always adopt the same strategies as grammar, purpose and audience design don't work like that.

It might be tempting but all this means that we really should avoid talking about as being "literal" or "dynamically equivalent" etc.

2) The "right" translation to use therefore depends on why and with whom you want to use it.

3) Accuracy is way more complicated than people think!

Accurate to what? The word order? The effect? The semantics? The associations?

Judged by whom?

I just read through the kids version of the Relative Theory of Money by Stéphane Laborde, found via .

It explains and promotes the idea of Universal Dividend, which is functionally similar to Universal Basic Income but uses inflation instead of taxation... I'm quite impressed but I need to digest it a bit more.
