  Fred, the patriarch and visionary behind the Koch brothers' legacy, blazed a trail in the oil industry. In 1925, his foresight led him to acquire a one-third stake in a Wichita engineering firm, a pivotal move that laid the foundation for the eventual behemoth, Koch Industries. From these modest beginnings, Fred's entrepreneurial spirit set the stage for a family saga marked by astounding success, familial discord, and a profound impact on the American political landscape. 
  The year 1933 witnessed the union of Fred and Mary Koch, marking the commencement of their familial odyssey. The arrival of their firstborn, Frederick, in 1934, was followed by the birth of Charles in 1935. The family's expansion continued in 1940 with the arrival of fraternal twins, David and Bill, completing the Koch family circle. These formative years were crucial in shaping the dynamics that would later shape the Koch brothers' relationships and individual trajectories. 
  Despite the burgeoning success of Fred's investments, he was steadfast in his resolve not to raise entitled children. Financial lessons were woven into their upbringing, with the children receiving only a modest allowance for completing household chores. Luxuries deemed unnecessary, such as television, were intentionally excluded from their lives. This deliberate approach aimed to instill in them a strong work ethic, rooted in humility, that would serve as the cornerstone of their future endeavors. 
  Fred's commitment to molding resilient individuals was further underscored by his emphasis on manual labor and impromptu history lessons at the family dinner table. Through these unconventional but impactful methods, he sought to impart a broader understanding of the world to his children, transcending the traditional bounds of formal education.

  The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
  The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
  Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
  Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
  We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.

  Being and Neon

  Luis de Miranda

  “This little book is a jewel of intelligence, finesse and culture, which takes a technical object without complaint and turns it over and over as Heidegger taught us to do with Van Gogh's shoes. What is striking is the ambition of a meditation on the maps of contemporary modernity, on the famous Greater Paris, on the subject, on the plural, without the evasiveness of the postmodern, of the absurd quotation. Luis de Miranda goes for a walk, he tells you that he goes for a walk, but he leads you with great mastery and knows where he wants to go. There is nothing gratuitous about this encounter of the kebab shop on the dissection table of the City of Neon. It is rather a new Cartesian meditation after Descartes and Husserl: where the stove and its heat have given way to the whirling sound of gas in a tube. I am, I create, therefore I hear. “Born from an unexpected encounter with a neon sign on the Quai du Louvre, this book was composed based on a seminar given by the author in the winter of 2012. An inspired journey through the night, deciphering the halos of the past and the reflections of the present to give voice to a certain magic of the future.
