Frequencies - Treatise

Alexandr Korol

Over 10 years ago ... I made an incredible discovery for myself ... and I wrote it all down in my diary. 
...I have even shared my draft before....  
Frequencies are parallel worlds ... they are social strata of society ... and we all live on different frequencies ....  
If I surround myself with people and things and food and music ... of frequency number 5 ... then I will connect to frequency 5 ... and if there is laziness on that frequency ... and if on that frequency ... people often break bones ... then I will become lazy and break my leg or my arm by accident ... when I leave the house ... in winter time ... when it's slippery ....  
But at frequency 10 ...  everything is different ... if you surround yourself with elements of frequency 10 ... then you get into another world ... where you will be always in a positive mood ... and have money ... and health ... and even your thoughts will be different .... 
And I wrote about it ... when I was 20 years old ... in 2011 ... in the summer I first noticed it ... that there are different worlds ... and in different worlds ... there is a different me ....  
Now I decided not to twist all my old materials about frequencies ... but to start from scratch ... once again ... to explain in detail ... what are frequencies ... and more precisely what is it... where you live in...

A Realistic Blacktopia - Why We...

Derrick Darby

The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
 
 
 
In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
 
 
 
A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.
