  Socrates: Discover the Powerful Lessons from Socrates That You Can Apply to Your Daily Life to Live a More Purposeful, Drive and Positive Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min

  I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing. - Socrates Ancient Greece has laid way for some of the most influential people, systems and stories of our civilization. It is hard to believe on one hand because technology-wise the Greeks were very primitive, yet on the other hand they were essentially on of the earliest roots of Western civilization. Even today logic and argument are taught as one of the most effective skills to possess. Many people can say something is logical or illogical without really understanding the principle behind it but this is an age-old problem and one that three mastered in Ancient Greece. The system of argument was really formalized in Ancient Greek culture. People would gather around to see arguments then, like we would to see a sporting event today. The difference between sports is that you weren't playing for touchdowns but instead playing to cement philosophical systems. The only way to win was to break an argument down logically and prove your opponent wrong. This was such a popular event that some of their names are even remembered now. When we consider the people of Ancient Greece though, there are four that come to mind, who are Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Alexander (the Great). Of the four of them, perhaps the most is known of Aristotle and Alexander, but the interesting thing is the connection that these four have as teacher and pupil. If you connect the relationships beginning with Alexander you will see that he was Aristotle's student, who attended Plato's school and Plato was one of the major students of Socrates. ungekürzt.

  In This Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min

  Lovers don't finally meet somewhere, they're in each other all along. -Rumi It starts out so simply. Anna runs away to Thailand, drags her best friend Dante with her and spends a few weeks away, taking on other people's problems while getting away from her own. She meets the enigmatic Jude Grayson, and for as long as it's clear to both of them that it ends when they leave, she thinks she's got the perfect fling planned out. Or does she? Anna returns home to find that her life is no longer the way it once was, and that she can't stop thinking about him. She learns through tragedy that nothing she's ever believed in has turned out to be true. The worst part? The people she loved were keeping a secret from her. And that no matter what she does, no matter how hard she fights against it, every path she takes keeps leading her back to Jude. This is a story about love, found in a faraway place by two very unlikely people. It is also a story about friendship and loyalty and fighting for what you have despite the illogical mystery of fate. With the struggle between morality and guilt, faith and acceptance, there comes a learning that even the best-laid plans are powerless against the alignment of the universe. From the beaches of Thailand to the streets of New York, three friends, Anna, Dante, and Jude will learn the hard way that once providence steps in, there is nothing in the world that can change what is truly meant to be. ungekürzt.

  Woke Racism

  Acclaimed linguist and award-winning writer John McWhorter argues that an illiberal neoracism, disguised as antiracism, is hurting Black communities and weakening the American social fabric. Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We're told read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is "appropriation." We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we'll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion-and one that's illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of "white privilege" and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the "woke mob." He shows how this religion that claims to "dismantle racist structures" is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called "antiracism," but it features a racial essentialism that's barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past. Fortunately for Black America, and for all of us, it's not too late to push back against woke racism. McWhorter shares scripts and encouragement with those trying to deprogram friends and family. And most importantly, he offers a roadmap to justice that actually will help, not hurt, Black America.

  The Uses of Delusion (eBook, ePUB)

  A fascinating examination of delusional thinking and how it might benefit health, relationships, and wellbeing. Although reason and rationality are our friends in almost all contexts, in some cases people are better off putting reason aside. In a number of very important situations, we benefit by not seeing the world as it is, and by not behaving like logic-driven machines. Sometimes we know we aren't making sense, and yet we are compelled to act against reason; in other cases, our delusions are so much a part of normal human experience that we are unaware of them. As intelligent as we are, much of what has helped humans succeed as a species is not our prodigious brain power but something much more basic. The Uses of Delusion is about aspects of human nature that are not altogether rational but, nonetheless, help us achieve our social and personal goals. Psychologist Stuart Vyse presents a lively, accessible exploration of the psychological concepts behind "useful delusions", fleshing out how delusional thinking may play a role in love and relationships, illness and loss, and personality and behavior. Along the way Vyse draws on the work of William James, Daniel Kahneman, and Joan Didion - who wrote about her compelling belief that her husband, though deceased, would soon return to her. Throughout, Vyse strives to answer the question: why would some of our most illogical beliefs be as helpful as they are? The concluding chapter offers an explanation grounded in natural selection - the ability to fool ourselves, Vyse argues, has actually helped us to survive. In the final pages of The Uses of Delusion, Vyse offers suggestions for determining when reason should rule and when intuition and emotion should be allowed to take over.

  How Science Proves That the Theory of Evolution Is Impossible, Why Humans Can Never Evolve from Mutations Transpiring, and How Humans Can Be Augmented by Becoming Cyborgs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min

  This essay sheds light on how science proves that the theory of evolution is impossible and also elucidates why humans can never evolve from mutations transpiring. Moreover, how humans can be augmented by becoming cyborgs is delineated in this essay. In spite of what you were indoctrinated to believe, it is not only easier than anytime in history to utilize science to vindicate the existence of God - the quintessential, divine creator, and master of the multiverse - but is also easier to disprove the illogical theory of evolution. Human beings were created by God and are sheer and utter consciousness as multidimensional, spiritual beings who vicariously experience this simulated reality through their earthly avatars, receivers, vessels, or bodies as most people like to call them. Humans were created by God and have profusely devolved overtime from mutations transpiring. Mutations are always deleterious and are never beneficial to the human species. Mutations always cause you to lose genetic information and never gain genetic information. The theory of evolution makes the irrational contention that mutations are beneficial, when in fact the polar opposite is true. The occurrence of mutations is never salubrious, but rather is always deleterious. Mutations to the genes are always adverse changes which bastardizes the original genetic code. A human being's earthly vessel can never organically change it to something outside the parameters of its DNA in this simulation. If the human genome can be thought of as a book, then the occurrence of a mutation can always be thought of as outright ripping a chapter out of a book, hence bastardizing the original genetic code and devolving the earthly vessel of the being. Humans are a maladaptive species that can never possess the ability to physically evolve in this simulation, because unlike the fictitious Pokemon characters, human beings only have the anatomy to physically devolve into lesser humans beings ungekürzt.
