  Ordinary Men Turning Into...

  How can ordinary people, whom we consider "normal," unexpectedly commit repulsive and criminal actions that we would never have thought them capable of? The concept of evil is one of the great themes in history, philosophy, sociology, and psychology. We have always tended to categorize the perpetrators of evil as "the others," "them," bad people, monsters, and true villains who commit atrocities that "we" could never carry out. The German philosopher Hannah Arendt challenged this clear distinction between inherently good people and inherently bad people and introduced a new, original paradigm known as the "banality of evil." 
  Arendt's concept suggests that the vast majority of German soldiers who followed Hitler's orders and committed horrific crimes were not sadistic monsters but ordinary men, not much different from us. These normal men, placed within a context of hierarchy, modern bureaucracy, and obedience to authority, were capable of killings, abuse, torture, and inhumane treatment of victims. In essence, there were monsters, yes, but they were few, far fewer than commonly believed. Starting from here, we aim to answer how ordinary people can transform into real monsters. We will trace a path that leads up to the present day.

  An engaging exploration of the wondrous social webs that permeate life in animal societies around the world. 
   
   
   
  It's all about who you know. Whether vampire bats sharing blood meals for survival, field crickets remembering champion fighters, macaque monkeys forming grooming pacts after a deadly hurricane, or great tit birds learning the best way to steal milk—it pays to be well connected. 
   
   
   
  In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads. With Dugatkin as our guide, we investigate social networks in giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, whales, bats, and more. From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening exposé of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.

  Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 - May 31, 1996) was an American psychologist and author known for his strong advocacy of psychedelic drugs, particularly LSD. Evaluations of Leary are polarized, ranging from "bold oracle" to "publicity hound". According to poet Allen Ginsberg, he was "a hero of American consciousness", and writer Tom Robbins called him a "brave neuronaut". President Richard Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in America". During the 1960s and 1970s, at the height of the counterculture movement, Leary was arrested 36 times. The following recording was made in 1992.
