Together with the Norwegian Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore we participated in an event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations. We spoke about Finland’s and Norway’s support for Ukraine and why the way the war ends will have significant implications for European security. https://t.co/dvbkWldDB0 #Ukraine #EuropeanSecurity #NorwayFinland #NO #FN #UA #EU

Nesten enhver kultur har moderniserte utgaver av eldre forfattere, ledsaget av diskusjoner om rettskrivning, ordforråd, redaksjonelle noter og tilpasning til dagens lesere. En antikvitetshandler sa en gang til meg at «tidens patina gir verdi» og kan være det som skiller en original fra en billig kopi. Jeg åpner Constantin Noicas «Søndagsessays», kommer til forlagets forord i Humanitas-utgaven fra 1992 og oppdager at «rettskrivningen er oppdatert». Å lese Noica kunne ha vært en vandring gjennom 1930- og 1940-årene. I stedet tar vi turen med moderne briller på, komfortabelt sittende i en Uber, uten frykt for å gå oss vill — altså for ikke å forstå ordene fra den tiden, som ganske enkelt kunne ha blitt «oversatt» i fotnoter. Hva om vi også tok avisene fra den tiden og «oppdaterte» dem? Og kanskje burde vi også rebrande datidens reklamer, slik at nevronene våre slipper å jobbe for hardt, som om vi satt fast i et escape room. Hvorfor stoppe der? Vi kunne også oppdatere historiebøkene og skrive at Arkimedes fra Syrakus ble drept av en romersk soldat mens han holdt på med matematikk på nettbrettet sitt. Grunnideen er jo fortsatt den samme, ikke sant? Bare epoken forsvinner. Og én ting til: hvorfor «oppdaterer» ikke matematikere Pythagoras? De kan endre notasjonen. De kan forklare beviset på en annen måte. De kan til og med bygge figuren på nettet gjennom en animasjon som utvikler seg foran øynene på elevene. Men Pythagoras’ læresetning forblir Pythagoras’ læresetning. Så når vi leser en eldre forfatter, hvorfor ikke bevare språket fra hans tid — og legge moderne forklaringer i notene? Og et siste spørsmål til Humanitas og til dem som arbeider ved universitetenes litteratur- og filologiavdelinger: hvis dagens skoleelever om noen tiår «oppdaterer» dere med # og emojier, ville dere likt det? #Humanitas #ConstantinNoica #Noica #Søndagsessays #Arkimedes #Pythagoras #Hashtag #Emoji #MrStorywise #OppdatertRettskrivning #Språkhistorie #20260920_1926 #Norsk #Norwegian #Litteratur #Historie

Norwegian Prime Minister 🇳🇴 Jonas Gahr Støre said that President Zelenskyy’s plane was “almost hit by a drone” while taking off from 🇲🇩 Chișinău on September 8, with the Ukrainian president on board and en route to Oslo for the funeral of King Harald V. The reality, however, #Norway #Zelenskyy #DroneAttack #NO #MD #UA

Norwegian authorities detained the Russian research vessel Professor Molčanov near the Svalbard archipelago as part of a $4.22 billion compensation order to Ukraine's Naftohaz, prompting sharp criticism from Russian officials, including spokesperson Maria Zakharova, who accused the West of piracy and lawlessness. #pirátství #Rusko #Špicberky

As a Norwegian, this is insane. A 6-year-old can now legally change their sex with just one parent's approval. Parents who don't affirm risk up to 6 years in prison. We're also removing sex markers from national IDs from 2032. How did Norway lose its mind this badly? https://t.co/tYAhY6bBnd #Norway #ChildRights #GenderIdentity #NO

With deep sadness, I learned of the passing of His Majesty King Harald V of Norway. Throughout his more than three decades on the throne, King Harald served the Norwegian people with dignity, dedication and an unwavering sense of duty. He was a respected and unifying figure in #KingHaraldV #Norway #RIP #NO
