But Met curators and officials, who migrated from Fifth Avenue in droves on Tuesday for a crowded news media preview of the building, described this sense of dislocation as gratifying for an encyclopedic museum, especially one that has long struggled to bring the masterpieces of the last century into conversation with those from the five or so millenniums preceding.

JAMES P. LENFESTEY MINNEAPOLIS ♦ To the Editor: In her review of Adam Zagajewski's "Slight Exaggeration" (July 23), Daisy Fried appears not to understand the nature of the ineffable — intuition, dream, myth, memory and spirituality — the qualities of private experience ("the human soul in flux," as James Wood puts it) that have driven artists, philosophers and ecstatics for millenniums, all of them the proper concerns of a poet.

Nor how the Zionism he described in Basel as a "moral, humanitarian movement" would be prodded over time toward messianic nationalism by the violent, still unresolved confrontation with the Arabs of Palestine; nor how the Jewish exercise of power, rather than Jewish subjection to its cruel whim, would test the very ethics that bound Jews to their formless, faceless God during the millenniums of tribulation in the diaspora.

CONFUCIANISM ORIGINATED IN ancient China with the scholar and philosopher Confucius, who was born in 551 B.C.

After several millenniums of advanced cultural history, it is probably a bit early to judge the quality of contemporary paintings like the two 2015 abstracts by Su Xiaobai that the Hong Kong dealer Pearl Lam sold for $250,000 each at her first European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht, which closed on March 20, or the thousands of works by Chinese artists being offered by 239 Western and Asian dealers at Art Basel Hong Kong, which was running through Saturday.

Her book of theory taught me to ask for more from art, literature, media, politics and history — and for me, a Korean girl who had been born in a divided nation once led by kings, colonizers, then a succession of presidents who were more or less dictators, and for millenniums, that had enforced rigid class systems with slaves and serfs until the early 20th century, and where women of all classes were deeply oppressed and brutalized, I needed to see that the movement had a space for me.

For the heirs of a people whose endurance over millenniums was because of the miracle of a tradition of thought nourished, rekindled and resown with each generation and through a constantly refined body of commentary, the challenge is clear: Any sacrifice of the calling to intellectual, moral and human excellence; any renunciation of the duty of exceptionalism that — from Rabbi Yehuda to Kafka and from Rashi to Proust and Levinas — has provided the ferment for its almost incomprehensible resistance; any concession, in a word, to Trumpian nihilism would be the most atrocious of capitulations, one tantamount to suicide.

Here's a snippet from a figure in the paper showing how arguments about the pace of coastal change between now and 21 distract from a profoundly clear long-term reality — that there will be no new "normal" coastal for millenniums, even with aggressive action to curb emissions: I'd asked Pierrrehumbert to reflect on the time-scale conundrum laid out in the Nature Climate Change paper in the context of another important and provocative proposal by Princeton's Robert Socolow, published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in December, proposing a new field of inquiry — Destiny Studies — to examine the tough intersection of ethics, risk perception and science.
