  Internationalism or Extinction

  Noam Chomsky

  • 0

  In his new book, Noam Chomsky writes cogently about the threats to planetary survival that are of growing alarm today. The prospect of human extinction emerged after World War II, the dawn of a new era scientists now term the Anthropocene. Chomsky uniquely traces the duality of existential threats from nuclear weapons and from climate change—including how the concerns emerged and evolved, and how the threats can interact with one another. The introduction and accompanying interviews place these dual threats in a framework of unprecedented corporate global power which has overtaken nation states’ ability to control the future and preserve the planet. Chomsky argues for the urgency of international climate and arms agreements, showing how global popular movements are mobilizing to force governments to meet this unprecedented challenge to civilization’s survival.

  Returning the Self to Nature -...

  Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
   
   
   
  Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
   
   
     
  Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
   
    
   
  Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

  Where Are the Little Green Men?...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In a universe teeming with trillions of planets, why is there no evidence of other technological civilizations? Enrico Fermi’s famous paradox has puzzled scientists for decades. In Where Are the Little Green Men?, Terry Adair offers a bold, rigorous answer: The Adair Hypothesis. 
  Life may be common—but civilization is not. Advanced technology demands more than intelligence; it requires a rare surplus of dense, stored energy, built through improbable cosmic, geological, and biological coincidences. From the violent birth of planets to the miracle of photosynthesis, ancient carbon burial, and humanity’s energy leaps—coal, oil, gas, fission, and the promise of fusion—Adair traces the fragile chain that allowed us to escape biology and ignite industry. 
  The Great Silence isn’t a graveyard of fallen empires. It’s a startling reminder of how rare we may be—and the responsibility that comes with it. A fast-moving, interdisciplinary exploration of cosmology, astrobiology, and energy physics, this book reframes our cosmic solitude not as loneliness, but as extraordinary privilege.

  Iterating Grace - Heartfelt...

  What is this tiny audiobook? Who is this Koons Crooks?With its privately-printed, anonymously-produced 140-copy first printing, Iterating Grace became the talk of summer 2015 in the tech world. From Buzzfeed to Tumblr to Fusion, people were puzzled and enthralled by the story of Koons Crooks, a young man who took the Twittered musings of the Silicon Valley elite to heart-and ended up on a profoundly unexpected path, leaving behind only the lovingly hand-calligraphed tweets that had meant so much to him. His story struck an immediate chord.There were competing efforts to identify the author of Iterating Grace; blog posts and lengthy comment threads pointed finger at writers all over the country, from Robin Sloan to Susan Orlean to Dave Eggers. Other early theories supposed it was the tip of an elaborate marketing scheme, and soon all would be revealed. But gradually it became clear that it was simply this: a small piece of literary art, perfectly pitched and driven by a Twain-like bemused outrage, by a creator who did not want to be identified, and would not explain anything beyond what the satirical fable said for itself.Disruptive innovators whose tweets are illustrated in Iterating Grace include: Austen Allred, cofounder of Grasswire; Sam Altman, president of Y Combinator; Marc Andreessen, coauthor of Mosaic, cofounder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz; Jeff Bussgang, VC at Flybrige Capital; Tony Conrad, cofounder and CEO of about.me; Benedict Evans, VC at Andreessen Horowitz; Brad Feld, VC at Foundry Group-and many more.
