  The Legend of Atlantis - Myths...

  The legend of Atlantis has captivated human imagination for over two millennia. First introduced by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, Atlantis was described as a powerful and advanced civilization that mysteriously vanished beneath the sea. According to Plato, Atlantis existed around 9,000 years before his time and was a utopian society of great wealth, wisdom, and military might. However, its people grew corrupt, leading to their downfall when the gods punished them with a catastrophic flood. While many scholars argue that Atlantis was purely a philosophical allegory, others have dedicated their lives to searching for evidence of its existence.  
  Numerous theories have emerged over the centuries, each attempting to explain whether Atlantis was a real place or a fictional construct. Some believe Plato’s account was based on real historical events, possibly inspired by the volcanic eruption that destroyed the Minoan civilization on the island of Santorini. Others speculate that Atlantis was an advanced prehistoric civilization that disappeared due to natural disasters. Conversely, skeptics argue that Plato intended Atlantis as a cautionary tale about human hubris, using it as a metaphor for the dangers of moral and political corruption.  
  Beyond academic debates, Atlantis has remained a significant part of global culture. The story has inspired countless books, movies, and television shows, often portraying the lost civilization as a mystical underwater world or a hidden realm of extraordinary technology. Fictional adaptations range from early modern utopian literature to modern conspiracy theories suggesting that Atlanteans possessed knowledge far beyond that of other ancient civilizations. Even today, the idea of a lost, technologically advanced society continues to fuel speculation and excitement, especially among those fascinated by ancient mysteries and alternative history.

  Chile - Historical Revolution...

  Chile’s history is a tapestry woven with threads of indigenous heritage, colonial conquest, political revolution, and economic transformation. Stretching along the western edge of South America, Chile’s unique geography—bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the towering Andes to the east—has shaped not only its physical landscape but also its historical trajectory and economic development. The country’s diverse climates, from the arid Atacama Desert in the north to the fertile central valleys and the rugged, windswept terrain of Patagonia in the south, have influenced settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and resource exploitation for centuries. 
  Long before Spanish colonization, Chile was home to numerous indigenous groups, including the Mapuche, who fiercely resisted foreign domination. Their cultural legacy remains an integral part of Chile’s identity, despite centuries of marginalization. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century marked the beginning of a colonial era characterized by the extraction of natural resources, the establishment of a rigid social hierarchy, and the introduction of European institutions. The colonial economy relied heavily on agriculture, mining, and forced indigenous labor, laying the foundation for economic systems that persisted well into the post-independence period. 
  Chile’s struggle for independence from Spain in the early 19th century was part of the broader wave of liberation movements sweeping across Latin America. Achieving independence in 1818 under the leadership of figures like Bernardo O’Higgins and José de San Martín, Chile faced the daunting task of nation-building. The early republican period was marked by political instability and power struggles between conservative and liberal factions, each advocating different visions for Chile’s future.

  He had no intentions of marrying, especially not the girl next door.Miss Sarah Brown is the insignificant daughter of an insignificant knight. With a small dowry and an unremarkable appearance, she has little hope of marrying better than a vicar or a solicitor. When her father announces that she is to have a London Season, she allows herself to hope for something more. Surely in the ballrooms of London, there is a gentleman of wealth who will make her a proper match. She need only to discover how to draw the gentleman’s attention to her. But that is not so easily done until her best friend comes up with a plan. Sarah simply needs to learn how to flirt.

But when Reginald learns of his sister’s idiotic plans to help Sarah woo a gentleman, he has no choice but to intervene.As Reginald spends time instructing Sarah, he realizes that bachelorhood might not be as desirable as he previously thought. Now he must try to convince Sarah that she can set her sights higher than a vicar or a solicitor. But the task proves more difficult than he imagined.

  The Prophets of Doom

  Linear and progressive views of history have dominated the popular imagination for the past seventy years in a worldview wedded to the inexorable rise of globalisation and GDP-growth at any cost. However, the end of the Cold War failed to produce the end of history as hoped, a fact brought home to many by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Material wealth and 'Progress' in the name of 'social justice' have not made people happier or more united but quite the opposite. Anxiety, depression, fearfulness, sadness, loneliness and anger have all massively increased since 1970 with the male suicide rate at an all-time high. Western society seems to be divided against itself across every line conceivable: left versus right, women versus men, 'non-whites' versus 'whites', globalists versus populists, 'the elites' versus 'the people', people who think that men can be women and vice versa versus those who insist that they cannot, and so on. Seventy-three percent of Americans believe their country is on 'the wrong track', with similar views reflected in Britain and across Europe. The Prophets of Doom explores eleven thinkers who not only dared to contradict the dominant linear and progressive view of history, but also predicted many of the political and social maladies through which we are living.
