  The 2024 Israeli-Palestinian...

  The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most complex and enduring disputes in modern history. Rooted in competing nationalist aspirations, territorial claims, and historical grievances, the conflict has shaped the Middle East and drawn international attention for over a century. To understand the events of 2024, it is essential to examine the historical context that underpins this struggle. 
    
  The origins of the conflict can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during the rise of nationalist movements among both Jews and Arabs. For Jews, Zionism emerged as a response to widespread anti-Semitism and sought the establishment of a homeland in Palestine, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. For Arabs, the decline of Ottoman rule and growing European influence spurred their own nationalist aspirations, with Palestine viewed as integral to a future Arab state. 
    
  Following World War I, Britain gained control of Palestine under a League of Nations mandate, which complicated the situation. The 1917 Balfour Declaration expressed British support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, fueling Jewish immigration to the region. However, this increased tensions with the Arab population, who viewed the declaration as a betrayal of their aspirations for self-determination. Clashes between Jewish and Arab communities became more frequent in the 1920s and 1930s, setting the stage for further conflict.

  Shamans and Robots - On Ritual...

  This book is a profound exploration of the external influences that shape human consciousness, from healing rituals to digital devices. In this voyage through thousands of years of psychosomatic healing, distinguished anthropologist and sociologist Roger Bartra examines the placebo effect as a key to our understanding of human consciousness. Shamans and Robots demonstrates how biology and technology become intertwined within human culture by using the various histories of ritual and symbolic healing to speculate about future developments in artificial intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Charting the history of the placebo effect through medieval healing, shamanism, and early psychoanalytic practices, Bartra posits that consciousness is not simply the province of the mind but something equally shaped by external systems and objects. He finds evidence of this "exocerebrum"—the extension of our brains outside the body—in the shamanistic concept of the placebo, in which external objects heal our bodies, and in modern technical devices like prostheses or robots, whose development of a mechanical consciousness would have to mimic, and in turn elucidate, the processes involved in the creation of consciousness in humans. Through this radical concept, he analyzes digital media's relationship to the functions of the human brain and probes the possibility of artificial consciousness.

  Babylon was an old city that was home to some of the world's most effective empires. It was the capital of the Babylonian Empire and was considered a center of commerce, art, and more. It's thought to have been the world's biggest early city, perhaps the first to reach a population of more than 200,000 people. 
  The age-old city featured high embankments put up along both banks of the Euphrates River to include the river's seasonal floods. 
  Prophets in the Bible have predicted the “great fall of Babylon” and the Babylonian Empire has, since long ago, it has just been a sometimes-forgotten speck in history. What was it about the Babylonians that was considered so evil? Or what was it that kept their society together for so long? What is their significance now? 
  In this book, I hope you will find some answers.
