Sinopsis

In "The Drama of Love and Death: A Study of Human Evolution and Transfiguration," Edward Carpenter presents a profound exploration of the intersection between human emotions and the broader spectrum of existence. Through a rich tapestry of poetic prose and philosophical inquiry, Carpenter delves into themes of love, mortality, and the transformative power of these experiences on the human condition. This work situates itself within the context of early 20th-century thought, engaging with contemporary ideas of spirituality and evolution, ultimately positing that love and death are pivotal forces that shape human progress and transfiguration. Edward Carpenter, an influential English thinker, social reformer, and early advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, brings a unique perspective to this work, informed by his own life experiences and relationships. His engagement with the complexities of love, particularly in its varied expressions, is underscored by his radical beliefs about society, nature, and the interconnectedness of life. Carpenter's background as both a poet and a scholar allows him to weave a narrative that is both emotionally resonant and intellectually rigorous, reflecting his commitment to social and spiritual evolution. I highly recommend "The Drama of Love and Death" to readers seeking a compassionate and scholarly examination of life's most profound themes. Its eloquent prose and deep insights offer a timeless reflection on the human experience, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the transformative power of love and the inevitability of death.

    What does it truly mean to be "immoral"? Is it a flaw to be conquered, or an intrinsic part of our humanity? In this bold and expansive work, A.A. Castor embarks on a sweeping investigation into the roots of our so-called forbidden impulses. Drawing on vivid historical accounts, cutting-edge psychology, and illuminating insights from the animal kingdom, Castor unravels the stories behind behaviors that societies have labeled as taboo or deviant. From ancient rituals to modern counterculture movements, from primal instincts honed by evolution to the ever-shifting moral boundaries shaped by media and technology, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of how "immorality" has both challenged and enriched our collective journey. 
    Through thoughtful analysis and engaging narrative, readers are invited to confront their own assumptions about right and wrong. Rather than condemning our darkest desires, Castor demonstrates how risk-taking, rebellion, and raw self-expression can foster innovation and self-discovery. By weaving together perspectives from philosophy, social science, and personal reflection, We Desire to Be Immoral ultimately urges a more nuanced understanding of human nature—one that embraces our imperfections, values empathy and connection, and dares us to celebrate the liberating power of authenticity. Whether you're intrigued by the hidden forces behind social norms or seeking a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the human spirit, this book is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and revel in the full spectrum of who we are.

    Return to Growth Volume One -...

    The UK has, in recent years, been suffering from what is nothing short of an economic crisis. Growth has now completely stalled in those western democracies, the UK included, where high government spending and high taxes have steadily burgeoned, decade after decade. Free-market economies now threaten to leave us behind in terms of wealth, opportunity and standards of living. At the end of Rishi Sunak's 2024 government, expenditure was at 45 per cent of GDP and taxes were 36 per cent and rising – yet still nowhere near sufficient to cover public expenditure. The government's net annual borrowing is now a completely unsustainable 4.4 per cent of GDP, with our overall national debt growing rapidly and alarmingly.
    In this arresting and powerful manifesto for economic change, Jon Moynihan analyses the UK's decades-long stagnant economy and looks at what can be done to resuscitate it. Combining rigorous research with unparalleled business experience, he explores the key dynamics affecting economic growth, ranging from government borrowing, expenditure, tax and regulation to the way national resources are deployed on non-productive and futile, growth-stifling endeavours.
    Ultimately, Moynihan shows that unless we act now to reverse the decline, by radically restructuring our economy to stimulate economic growth, the UK risks stagnation, financial collapse and a long-term disintegration in our standard of living. Ignore his warning at your peril.

    As Canada was in the grips of the worst pandemic in a century, Canadian media struggled to tell the story. Newsrooms, already run on threadbare budgets, struggled to make broader connections that could allow their audience to better understand what was really happening, and why. Politicians and public health officials were mostly given the benefit of the doubt that what they said was true and that they acted in good faith.
    		 
    This book documents each month of the first year of the pandemic and examines the issues that emerged, from racialized workers to residential care to policing. It demonstrates how politicians and uncritical media shaped the popular understanding of these issues and helped to justify the maintenance of a status quo that created the worst ravages of the crisis. Spin Doctors argues alternative ways in which Canadians should understand the big themes of the crisis and create the necessary knowledge to demand large-scale change.

    Chapter 1: The Natural: You will learn about what it means for something to be considered natural. 
    Chapter 2: Government: You will learn what constitutes the nature of government and why it may be considered "unnatural." This is the main bulk of the book. Within this section, the world's biggest lie is exposed, in order to put an end to countless decades of suffering. 
    Chapter 3: Anarchy: You will learn what constitutes the real definition of "anarchy" many people do not learn about, and why it may be considered "natural." We come to understand that our reality is not the way it actually is supposed to be. 
    Chapter 4: Moral Suasion: You will learn about what it means to share this knowledge, how to put it into action and why it will benefit society immensely. It becomes apparent that morality and nature are core to our human existence moving forward. 
    Back of book: It's dangerous to question mankind when nature is disregarded. This is an honest evaluation for an honest world. People claim that they care about nature then proceed to claim that we cannot live without government. They then claim that we can't live with anarchy. Yet, there are lies so strong and evident that proves government to be unnatural, and therefore unfit to exist. Also, truths so strong and evident that proves anarchy to be natural, the way of life that must be understood and embraced. Many lives are in the hands of the few who create evil; but you are of the many, and with this knowledge you allow the many to be empowered to disregard the few. Nature will never be disregarded again, evil will never gain power again. It starts with your nature, if you are willing to use it in reading this book. You can liberate the world for all of time, for true freedom, health and happiness. Nature is all of time and we must learn to use our time wisely, if we care.
