  8. Experiencing the state of immortality without ideation - 7 August 1949. 
  • There is no mind without idea, thought and verbalization.

  cannot be put into words? 
  • Q: Is there a way of knowing what is the truth about myself, without illusion or 
  self-deception? 
  • Q: Is effort a necessary preliminary to tranquillity? 
  • Q: I no longer suppress my thoughts and am I shocked by what sometimes 
  arises. Can I be as bad as that? 
  • Q: Why is it that certain undesirable conditions in oneself do not vanish as soon as they are observed? 
  • Q: Is the artist or musician engaged in a futile thing?

  Addiction Becomes Normal - On...

  Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. 
    
  Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an important understanding: increasingly, addiction is described as normal, the natural result of a body that has been exposed to potent stimuli. This shift in thinking suggests that addiction is a condition latent in all of us, a common response to a society rich in thrills. 
    
  In Addiction Becomes Normal, Jaeyoon Park provides a history and critical analysis of the normalization of addiction in late-modern American society. By exploring addiction science, diagnostic manuals, judicial reform, and public health policy, he shows how seeing addiction as normal has flourished in recent decades and is supported throughout cultural life in the United States by the language of wellness, psychotherapy, and more. Building on Michel Foucault’s depiction of the human figure, Park argues that this shift reflects the emergence of a new American subject, one formed by the accretion of experiences. This view of the human subject challenges the idea that our compulsions reflect our characters, wills, or spirits. For if addiction is an extreme but ordinary attachment, and if compulsive consumption resembles healthy behavior, then desire is no longer an expression of the soul so much as the pursuit of a past reward. A perceptive work of recent history and political theory, Addiction Becomes Normal raises new questions about what it means to be human in America today.

  "The author's message is potent and timely... this is a vital call to reform a broken system." – Publishers Weekly Review, June 2025
  "Dr. Lester has gifted us this book for this moment and for our posterity. He shares searing personal stories of tragedy and hardship that moves the crisis in our educational system beyond statistics and into the realm of human impact. . . . He adds academic ballast to his intimate narrative, so we come to understand not simply his individual story, but the historic and systemic forces at work that affect millions today." – Jemar Tisby, from the foreword
  Inspiring the Next Generation to Advocate for Educational Equity
  Terence Lester was born into a two-parent household that later separated due to family conflict. In search of safety and stability, his mother moved him and his sister from place to place. Carrying the weight of that early trauma, Lester turned to gangs, became a juvenile delinquent, experienced homelessness, and at one point lived out of his car. He dropped out of high school.
  But Lester's story doesn't end there. He eventually returned to school, graduated as a fifth-year senior, and defied the odds by earning five degrees, including a PhD in public policy. What made the difference?
  In From Dropout to Doctorate, Lester unveils the realities of educational injustice and the profound impact of unjust policies and systems on Black communities. He shows how poverty disrupts the lives of Black families, leading to homelessness and perpetuating the school-to-prison pipeline.
  A Powerful Personal Story
  Drawing from his own personal narrative and scholarly research, Lester names the complex challenges faced by Black children in underresourced and socially dense environments. As a public scholar and nonprofit leader, he advocates for equitable access to advanced education and addresses the systemic barriers that limit opportunities for Black people.
  An Advocate's Voice for Change
  Through his personal experiences, Lester calls on educators, nonprofit leaders, and community influencers to confront educational inequity and inspire systemic change. His advocacy encourages readers to envision a world rooted in justice and inclusivity. Offering remedies of community involvement and mentorship, Lester marks out a hopeful pathway that cultivates potential and provides opportunities for Black youth to thrive.
  For Those Who Believe in a Just Future
  This book speaks to those who are ready to champion change and reimagine what is possible for marginalized communities. From Dropout to Doctorate will challenge you to question the status quo and equip you to make a difference in your community.

  Sustainable Urban Development -...

  Sustainability in urban contexts represents a pivotal concept in addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. As cities grow exponentially, they have become both the epicenters of human activity and the focal points of environmental stress. Defining sustainability in the urban realm requires a holistic understanding of how economic, social, and environmental systems can coexist harmoniously within densely populated areas. The essence of sustainable urban development lies in creating cities that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to thrive. 
  Urban sustainability emphasizes the importance of balancing growth and development with environmental stewardship. This involves minimizing the negative impacts of urbanization, such as pollution, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss, while enhancing the quality of life for residents. Sustainable cities are designed to be inclusive, equitable, and resilient, promoting social cohesion and economic vitality alongside ecological preservation. Key principles include efficient resource management, integration of renewable energy, sustainable transportation systems, and the adoption of green infrastructure. 
  Central to this concept is the recognition that cities are complex, interdependent systems. Housing, transportation, energy, water, and waste management are all interconnected elements that must be addressed cohesively to achieve sustainability. For example, designing energy-efficient buildings can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but such efforts must be complemented by policies that encourage renewable energy adoption and sustainable urban planning. Similarly, enhancing public transportation systems can alleviate traffic congestion and reduce emissions while improving accessibility for marginalized communities.
