English | 2005 | pages: 250 | ISBN: 0563486341 | PDF | 0,7 mb
In the 22nd Century, a few short years of interstellar contact have taught Man a hard lesson: there are powerful, unstoppable, alien forces abroad that are nightmare manifest. It’s a realization that deals a body blow to Man’s belief in his own superiority and leaves him with the only option he has ever had: to fight. When the Doctor and his friends are caught in the crossfire, they find suspicion and paranoia running rampant, with enemies to be seen in every shadow. The fight against alien forces is no job for an amateur, and for a Doctor only just finding his way in the universe again, one misstep could be fatal.

Author: David Mura
Narrator: David Lee Huynh

The police murders of two Black men, Philando Castile and George Floyd, frame this searing exploration of the historical and fictional narratives that white America tells itself to justify and maintain white supremacy. From the country’s founding through the summer of Black Lives Matter in 2020, David Mura unmasks how white stories about race attempt to erase the brutality of the past and underpin systemic racism in the present. Intertwining history, literature, ethics, and the deeply personal, Mura looks back to foundational narratives of white supremacy to show how white identity is based on shared belief in the pernicious myths, false histories, and racially segregated fictions. White supremacy insists white knowledge is superior to Black knowledge, and this belief dismisses the truths embodied in Black narratives.

Author: Tammy Bruce
Narrator: Tammy Bruce

As progressive policies get more extreme-and challenging them becomes more dangerous-the left expects us to submit to the madness. "Leave this to your betters," they tell us, as the left and our bureaucratic state refine the weaponizing of fear, gaslighting us into a new normal of chronic dread and anxiety with one goal in mind: unprecedented government control over our lives. COVID, climate change, systemic racism, terrorist parents, identity politics, vandalizing language, cancel culture-from vague designer threats to an endless array of arbitrary rules, the left’s scam to kill our minds follows a predictable pattern: Cut us off from our friends and family. Gaslight us. Tell us we misremember the past. Break down our confidence. Shame us. Fill us with a fear of everything. It’s time to turn the tables and end this abusive manipulation once and for all. And former liberal activist and Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce shows how. In Fear Itself, you’ll see that none of this is normal nor is it organic. And, most important, you’ll see that it can be defeated. Overcoming the weaponization of fear first requires recognizing it. Once we’re no longer in the dark, defeating it becomes second nature as we take back control of our lives and the destiny of our country.

The Feeling of Life Itself Why Consciousness Is Widespread but Can’t Be Computed [Audiobook]

English | August 25, 2020 | ASIN: B08FXSNC2P | M4B@128 kbps | 7h 34m | 352 MB
Author: Christof Koch | Narrator: Patrick Lawlor
A thought-provoking argument that consciousness-more widespread than previously assumed-is the feeling of being alive, not a type of computation or a clever hack
In The Feeling of Life Itself, Christof Koch offers a straightforward definition of consciousness as any subjective experience, from the most mundane to the most exalted-the feeling of being alive. Psychologists study which cognitive operations underpin a given conscious perception. Neuroscientists track the neural correlates of consciousness in the brain, the organ of the mind. But why the brain and not, say, the liver? How can the brain-three pounds of highly excitable matter, a piece of furniture in the universe, subject to the same laws of physics as any other piece-give rise to subjective experience? Koch argues that what is needed to answer these questions is a quantitative theory that starts with experience and proceeds to the brain. In The Feeling of Life Itself, Koch outlines such a theory, based on integrated information.

The Animal at Unease with Itself Death Anxiety and the Animal-Human Boundary in Genesis 2-3


Free Download Isaac M. Alderman, "The Animal at Unease with Itself: Death Anxiety and the Animal-Human Boundary in Genesis 2-3"
English | ISBN: 1978702914 | 2020 | 218 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 1329 KB
Quoting Derrida, in The Animal at Unease with Itself: Death Anxiety and the Animal-Human Boundary in Genesis 2-3 Isaac M. Alderman draws attention to the fact that humans are the only animals who are disturbed by nakedness. This unease with regard to our own bodies is an important aspect of the study of disgust and death anxiety. Alderman seeks to apply terror management theorists’ focus on death anxiety to biblical studies and to utilize the concept of animal reminder disgust‒‒the visceral reaction to reminders of our animality‒‒to better understand the opening chapters of Genesis, dealing particularly with themes of mortality, the human body, and the animal-human boundary in those chapters. After describing relevant aspects of cognitive science, terror management theory, and animal reminder disgust, Alderman demonstrates, using Genesis 2‒3 (and the role of clothing as a marker of the animal-human boundary there) as a case study, that an interdisciplinary approach that draws on cognitive science can illumine the biblical text in important ways.
