Humanity must break out from its vibrational shell. And for this, more people need to get aligned with their essential and authentic self. The world in which you live now requires from you that you begin to live your own truths — to reconnect with the Greater Truth — and this current life experience can be your means to do this. Do not allow others to sabotage your own Ark. It is time now to turn attention away from worldly focus to internal, individual focus. The Greater Truth is within you, for you are a part of it and not apart from it.

In this book, Stuart Jeffries analyzes how we got into this parlous state and wonders if the stupid, like the poor, are always with us, or if, rather, stupidity is like Japanese knotweed, difficult to root out but to be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

Our society is constantly made to serve the needs of two systems: technology and capitalism. Neither exists outside humans, but both are treated as above and beyond us. The Mechanic and the Luddite offers the critical tools needed to deconstruct these systems—how they work, whom they work for, and what work they do in our lives. With signature style and energy, Jathan Sadowski presents a provocative one-stop shop for understanding the political economy of technology and capitalism.

To define 'progress' is to lay claim to the future. Seminal thinker Slavoj Žižek turns essayist to interrogate the competing visions which form the horizons of human possibility and ask: Can things, which have never seemed worse, get better? What would a better world be? And how, when we are...

Ein Kind atmet zum ersten Mal ein, eine Großmutter zum letzten Mal aus. Und eine Frau in den mittleren Jahren versucht, mit einer Krebsdiagnose umzugehen.

The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities. The...

Story is the source code of culture and consciousness and of all Reality-all the way up and down the evolutionary chain. Story is the attempt to gather information about the nature of Reality and translate it into narrative frameworks bounded by Value. Stories that organize culture are Stories of Value backed by the Universe. Postmodernity argues that Reality is just a story, and that all stories are created equal (equally meaningless of inherent value) because value itself is not real. And therefore, all stories of value are but social constructs, fictions, figments of our imagination.

A victory so costly it devours the victor. From the weary voice of King Pyrrhus to the ruins of modern empires, the idea of the Pyrrhic victory runs like a fault line through history, politics, and the human heart. This book follows that line—from ancient battlefields to colonial campaigns, from the Cold War to Vietnam, from the struggles of modern geopolitics to the silent wars waged in private lives. It is a journey through victories that turned into defeats, through triumphs that corroded the very hands that seized them.

Morris Berman hace la analogía con el Imperio Romano del "pan y circo", sólo que en el caso de Estados Unidos, la estulticia se encarna en la glorificación de los valores corporativos, en el consumismo y entretenimiento masivos, en pocas palabras, en todo lo que proyecta la llamada cultura "McWorld".

Gelesen von Christoph Hackenberg Menschen fühlen sich oft wohl im Kerker ihrer Selbstverständlichkeiten, fühlen sich bedroht, wenn der Blick durch ein Fenster möglich wird, um Anderes zu erspähen, oder wenn sie angeregt werden, sich eine Tür zu suchen, um draußen neues Land zu entdecken. Das trifft nicht nur für Einzelne zu, sondern auch für soziale Systeme wie Unternehmen, Staaten oder Kirchen.
