Synopsis

"Think of Singapore instead as the Air-Conditioned Nation—a society with a unique blend of comfort and central control, where people have mastered their environment, but at the cost of individual autonomy, and at the risk of unsustainability." 
 
Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited is an anthology of essays on Singapore politics by Cherian George. It draws upon his influential collection Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000), on the country's politics of comfort and control, and from Singapore, Incomplete (2017), on its underdeveloped democracy. Updated for the impending transition to a new generation of leaders, this 20th anniversary edition of Air-Conditioned Nation offers critical reflections on continuity and change in Singapore’s unique political culture.

    The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche is an influential philosophical work which explores the metaphysical implications of Atheism and moral nihilism. Nietzsche's exploration of the potential implications of atheism leads him to conclude that, without the traditional basis provided by God, morality becomes an arbitrary set of conventions derived from human opinion. This approach undermines the Judeo-Christian conception of morality as divinely ordained and encourages readers to consider alternative systems of ethics and value. Read in English, unabridged.

    The great Manly P. Hall once said: “To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.” 
     
    Magic is key to understanding our existence and Manly P. Hall knew this. It is is much more than the tricks of a children’s entertainer. Magic is all there is. In fact the word comes down to us originally from Old Persian and means “to have power”. Understanding true magic brings us power. 
     
    There are many things we can learn from our foray into the world of magic. Of these many things, this film will focus in on the mystical world, the magical world, the strange and wonderful. Within magic we will find reality like never before. It is the very fabric of the universe in which we live out our lives. 
     
    For us to be able to understand magic, we have to understand the science behind the fabric of existence. It is within the mind expanding complexities of quantum physics that we will discover the truth behind the secrets of magic that our ancestors searched for. Knowledge is magic and magic is powerful.

    I own the airline, but my newest flight attendants are giving me an education in employee management. They’ve made me commit unspeakable acts in the onboard restroom. They’ve made me wear a skirt and serve them drinks.

    I work for them now. 
    Pleasure is my salary. Pain is my bonus.

    Satanism is, without a doubt, a perplexing marvel. It has been the subject of various definitions that feature its multiple viewpoints and directions. From a sociological perspective, Satanism may be defined as the adoration of Satan or the Devil through recurrent social or ceremonial behaviors.One could talk about Satanism even by neglecting to expressly love the Devil or, in any event, denying its reality, keeping up contempt for God. Trying those magic and mysterious practices, regularly indecent and vicious, would permit a man to become like God. Some Satanists are mystical and believe in the presence of a demanding Satan. Still, others see Lucifer as the first image of opposition and the carrier of enlightenment to humankind. Similar to any religion or perspective, there's an immense assortment of what Satanists accept. This book means to be a great beginning to comprehend the numerous parts of satanism and Satan.
