Sinopse

What is Rational Egoism
 
Rational egoism is the principle that an action is rational if and only if it maximizes one's self-interest. As such, it is considered a normative form of egoism, though historically has been associated with both positive and normative forms. In its strong form, rational egoism holds that to not pursue one's own interest is unequivocally irrational. Its weaker form, however, holds that while it is rational to pursue self-interest, failing to pursue self-interest is not always irrational.

    … "Wenn ich also das Ergebnis meiner Untersuchung in knappster Form zusammenfassen müsste, so ergäbe sich etwa Folgendes: Energie ist eine Urkraft unbekannter Herkunft mit einem ungeheuren Differenzierungspotenzial. 'Tote' wie lebende Materie ist zunehmend raffiniert organisierte Energie. Das organisierende Prinzip ist der Weltgeist, ein grenzenloses abstraktes Potenzial von Kombinationsmöglichkeiten, welche im Lauf der Evolution vom Big Bang bis heute immer differenzierter realisiert und materialisiert worden sind. Aspekte des Weltgeists werden von lebendigen Organismen sukzessive entdeckt und genutzt. Sowohl der Weltgeist wie auch die Energie können wahlweise als göttlichen oder natürlichen Ursprungs aufgefasst werden."
    
    … "So if I had to summarize the result of my investigation in the briefest form, it would be something like the following: energy is a primal force of unknown origin with a tremendous potential for differentiation. 'Dead' and living matter is increasingly sophisticatedly organized energy. The organizing principle is the world spirit, a limitless abstract potential of possible combinations, which has been realized and materialized in an increasingly differentiated way in the course of evolution from the Big Bang to the present day. Aspects of the world spirit are successively discovered and utilized by living organisms. Both the world spirit and the energy can be understood to be either of divine or natural origin."

    This is a book with 3 different topics, all related to the 18th and 19th century history of Germany. The topics are the following: 
    Otto von Bismarck: Otto, Prince of Bismarck, Count of Bismarck-Schönhausen, Duke of Lauenburg, was a conservative German statesman, diplomat, and author who was born Junker Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck. Bismarck supervised Germany's unification in 1871 and functioned as its first chancellor till 1890, throughout which time he ruled Europe for 20 years. 
    The Unification of Germany: The Unification of Germany had a significant impact on the whole country, the empire, and the decades after that. It was the inauguration for Germany into the 20th century, and the dreaded World War I and World War II that were partially consequences of that unification. 
    On January 18th, 1871, in the Palace of Versailles in France, Germany was lawfully merged into the German Empire, a Prussia-dominated country state with federal components. Throughout the Franco-Prussian War, princes of German countries assembled there to declare King Wilhelm I of Prussia Emperor of the German Empire. 
    The Weimar Republic: To summarize everything about this topic, the Weimar Republic was a disaster. Perhaps the setup of the republic wasn’t as much as fault as just the world events that led to the Great Depression, the eventual surrender of Germany to France, Russia, and England in World War I before that, and other significant changes in the economy at the time. 
    Do you want to buy a few eggs with thousands of marks? How about a loaf of bread for ten thousand dollars? The inflation in the Weimar Republic led to a severe economic downturn, one that had probably never been there ever before. This led to other problems, which also explained the rise of Nazi Germany somewhat later.

    Difficult - Mothering...

    Told from the perspective of mothers who've lived it, Difficult focuses on mothering challenging adult children. 
     
     
     
    Difficult brings to life the conflicts that arise for mothers who are confronted with the unexpected and burdensome dependencies of their adult children associated with mental illness, substance use, or chronic unemployment. Through real stories of mothers and their challenging adult children, this book offers accessible, provocative, and, at times, shocking illustrations of the excruciating maternal dilemma: Which takes precedence—the needs of the mother or of the distressed adult child? Difficult addresses a family situation which too many keep secret. The book allows listeners to see that they are not alone. 
     
     
     
    Judith Smith speaks empathically to parents, acknowledging and illuminating the embarrassment, shame, and helplessness that women can feel when their adult children's problems puncture their own feelings of self-worth. In the absence of sufficient supports and affordable housing for persons with mental illness or substance misuse disorder, mothers feel that they have no choice—"if not me, then who?" Unpaid and unrecognized maternal caregiving work continues to limit women's quality of life, even into their later years. Smith addresses this as a societal issue which requires structural solutions.
