Mind Control - An Owner's Manual...

Michael Mathiesen

A.I. or - Thinking outside the box!  Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities.  I call him 'Homo Planetae' or Man of the Planet.  Homo Sapiens or the Wise Man is no longer viable since it is this species that has brought us to the edge of extinction and the total destruction of this planet's habitat - something no other creature in history has been so careless and greedy to do.  We did that.  An evolutionary branching off of an obsolete species and onto a new more advanced creature is now taking place right before our eyes, but 'None are so blind as those who will not see.' 
Through your increased abilities of using your mind or 'Mind Control' as this author defines it - we still have a chance to redeem ourselves and save this planet.  But time is of the essence and is rapidly running out.  The ways in which we are mind controlled by our government and our corporations, our religions are profound yet so subtle we don't even think about it until it's too late.

Obscurantism in power When...

Brice Perrier

Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.
