    The Radical Singularity - Essay...

    All the energies of our civilisation are destined to the construction of a new artifical world, a totally technological world in which the human being is one more cog in the cybernetic system. This world is totally exposed, programmed, quantified, technical, artificial, and, above all, autonomous.
    
    This autonomous world will be able to function without us. This world is an objective world that will have neither subjectivity nor meaning. But while all our efforts are projected towards the horizon of technological singularity, the same language reminds us that there is another meaning of the word singularity. The Radical Singularity is an original project about human singularity in the era of technological singularity. The work addresses, in a unique, extreme, and even ironic way, the mutation from modern humanism to posmodern posthumanism, revealing the light of Reason between the lines. What is singular -along with human Reason- is the resistance to globalisation, to homogenisation, to the terror of the same, to automation, to technological singularity, and so on.
    
    This work remind us that, even when things become so violently homogeneous, the radicalism of thought will appear. The world is dialectical, and we cannot escape the logic of the world, of which its representation is our Reason. Due to its radical singularity, human Reason always has the last word.

    The Logic of Collective Action is a groundbreaking exploration of the paradoxical dynamics behind group behavior. This influential work dissects how individuals, acting in their own self-interest, often fail to act collectively—even when it benefits the entire group. From labor unions to environmental movements, the book reveals why smaller, more focused groups often achieve their goals, while larger groups face significant obstacles. Blending economic theory, sociology, and political science, this analysis provides a compelling framework for understanding cooperation, free-riding, and the challenges of organizing collective efforts. A must-read for anyone seeking to comprehend the forces shaping social, political, and economic groups.

    Timothy Venning's series of alternative histories explores the pathways of British events from the Anglo-Saxon Age to the English Civil War. In this volume, he presents an in-depth analysis of the Tudor period. Venning discusses the fateful moments at which history could easily have taken a different turn. 
     
     
     
    In a fascinating series of "what if" scenarios, Venning presents a detailed look at the possible and likely results. While speculative, the scenarios are all plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actually events and their context. In so doing, Venning gives listeners a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might have been. 
     
     
     
    Key questions discussed include: 
     
     
     
    ● Did the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck ever have a realistic chance of a successful invasion/coup? 
     
     
     
    ● If Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIIIs illegitimate son, had not died young, might he have been a suitable King? 
     
     
     
    ● What if Edward VI had not died at fifteen but reigned into the 1560s and 70s? 
     
     
     
    ● How might the Spanish Armada have succeeded in landing an army in England, and with what likely outcome?
