Free Speech and Turbulent...

Michael J. Glennon

A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
 
 
 
In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
 
 
 
To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.

The Philadelphia State Hospital...

J.P. Webster

This account of the infamous asylum is "an excellent record of greed and corruption, but it is also a powerful testimonial to compassion and kindness" (Hidden City). 
 
 
 
The Quaker City and its hospitals were pioneers in the field of mental health. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, its institutions were crowded and patients lived in shocking conditions. The mentally ill were quartered with the dangerously criminal. By 1906, the city had purchased a vast acreage of farmland incorporated into the city, and the Philadelphia Hospital dubbed its new venture Byberry City Farms. From the start, its history was riddled with corruption and committees, investigations and inquests, appropriations and abuse. Yet it is also a story of reform and redemption, of heroes and human dignity—many dedicated staff members did their best to help patients whose mental illnesses were little understood and were stigmatized by society. 
 
 
 
"Webster . . . wrote his book because of his fascination with an abandoned building he discovered in 2002. He wanted to tell the story of Byberry, one he believes many people do not fully understand." —Philadelphia Neighborhoods

How to Hack Your Vagus Nerve -...

Angelina Power

The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
“Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
“The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
- Anxiety disorder 
- Heart disease 
- Tinnitus 
- Obesity 
- Alcohol addiction 
- Migraines 
- Alzheimer’s 
- Leaky gut 
- Bad blood circulation 
- Mood disorder 
- CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.
