A democracia em tempo real sonhada nos inícios da digitalização como democracia do futuro se mostra como uma ilusão completa. Enxames digitais não formam um coletivo responsável, que age politicamente. Os followers, na condição de novos súditos das mídias sociais, deixam-se adestrar em gado de consumo por smart influencers, influenciadores inteligentes. Ficam despolitizados. A comunicação dirigida pelos algoritmos nas mídias sociais não é nem livre, nem democrática.

Epicteto foi um conferencista que não deixou escritos filosóficos. Felizmente, os aspectos principais de sua filosofia foram preservados para as gerações futuras por um de seus dedicados alunos, o historiador Flávio Arriano. Arriano transcreveu meticulosamente em grego um número considerável de palestras de seu mestre para um amigo. Essas palestras, conhecidas como os Discursos [ou Diatribes], foram originalmente reunidas em oito livros, dos quais apenas quatro subsistiram até nossos dias.

O Caibalion, que desde sua primeira publicação, em dezembro de 1908, é referência nos círculos esotéricos, é um tratado que encerra os mais significativos princípios do antigo Hermetismo. Ao descrever detalhadamente esses princípios, O Caibalion trata da transmutação mental (também chamada de “alquimia mental”, “arte da química mental” ou “arte da polarização”), isto é, uma arte de mudar e transformar os próprios estados e condições mentais, com o objetivo de melhorá-los.

Identity politics occupies the front line in today’s culture wars, pitting generations against each other, and progressive cities against the rural traditions of our past. Rich in data and detail, Who Are We Now? goes beyond today’s headlines to connect our current reality to a larger more-than-human story. At the heart of the book is a set of surveys conducted between 2016 and 2021, asking thousands of anonymous respondents all over the United States questions about their behavior and identity, and especially about gender and sexuality.

Human beings have taken one thing for granted since our earliest days: we are bodily creatures dealing with one another on a face-to-face basis. The internet has shattered this fundamental feature of human existence. We are suddenly living our lives in two worlds at once-shifting endlessly from virtual to physical reality as we reach out to others.

Using examples and analysis, Abramson gives an account of gaslighting and its immorality, and argues that such a discussion can help us understand other aspects of social life—from racism and sexism to the structure of interpersonal trust.

The Kybalion is a book claiming to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, presenting the seven Hermetic principles that underlie various aspects of reality and offering insights into philosophical, spiritual, and psychological truths. It explores concepts like mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender to explain the workings of the universe.

Though born to a poor but pious family of ribbon weavers in in Saxony in 1762, Johann Gottlieb’s exceptional intelligence was apparent from an early age. Remarkably, from this humble background, he earned himself a respected place in the pantheon of late 18th and early 19th century German...

Tendo o príncipe necessidade de saber usar bem a natureza do animal, deve escolher a raposa e o leão, pois o leão não sabe se defender dos laços (das armadilhas) e a raposa não sabe se defender da força bruta dos lobos. Portanto, é preciso ser raposa, para conhecer as armadilhas, e leão, para aterrorizar os lobos.""Um príncipe não deve ter nenhum outro objetivo ou pensamento, nem estudar nada além da guerra e das suas regras e disciplina, pois essa é a única arte que compete a quem governa, e ela é tão forte que não apenas mantém aqueles que nascem príncipes, mas muitas vezes permite a homens de condição comum subir àquele posto.

This book (in dialogue form) explains what is the nature of politics, and what is the anthropological evolution of the political party by defining the essence of the political left and right and their respective raisons d’etre, what motivates them, and the nature of their ethics. The explanation is contained in 7 Dictums (one set of seven principles each for the Left and the Right). Further, the book demonstrates how the Dictums are relative and explanatory to the rise and fall of empires and the causes of war.

What is it exactly that made for the greatness of Western Civilization? Why did it have its ups and downs, and where do things seem headed today? Ultimately, this two-volume series is as much a political-moral teaching as it is a presentation of the details of the West's wonderful (and sometimes tragic) historical record.

This second volume begins with the picture of the "glory" of this new dynastic-tribal alliance of European monarchs and their fired-up nationalist people, armed with massive industrial might enabling them to take over massive portions of the rest of the world (Asia and Africa). But this energy turns Europeans on each other when finally there are no more overseas lands to capture, resulting in the disastrous "Great War" (1914-1918).
