  A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
   
  In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
   
  Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.

  Hope - Inspiring Optimism in...

  Hope is a force that fuels resilience, strengthens determination, and inspires people to push forward even in the darkest moments. It is not just wishful thinking but a deep-seated belief that better days lie ahead. When faced with adversity, hope becomes a guiding light, illuminating possibilities that might otherwise remain unseen. It empowers individuals to rise above setbacks, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. 
  Why hope matters in difficult times is evident in the way it shapes human responses to hardship. Those who embrace hope tend to navigate struggles with a sense of purpose and persistence. It provides the emotional strength needed to endure uncertainty, offering reassurance that no storm lasts forever. People who hold on to hope are more likely to take proactive steps toward improvement rather than surrender to despair. 
  The science behind optimism reveals that hope is more than an abstract concept—it has tangible effects on mental and physical well-being. Studies suggest that individuals with a hopeful outlook experience lower stress levels, improved immunity, and a greater ability to cope with life’s difficulties. The brain, when wired for optimism, releases chemicals that promote motivation and resilience. This neurological response reinforces the idea that hope is not only beneficial but essential for overall health and success.

  The future is here. It's hiding in plain sight. Who can spot it? 
  In the 21st century, humanity faces three existential risks. Artificial intelligence is improving faster than we can comprehend and in ways we cannot predict. The biosphere of our planet is in question, and we humans are dangerously at each other’s throats. For the first time in history, we cannot look to the past to accurately model the future. Where then can we find answers? 
  Introducing Zeroism. Zeroism embraces what we do not know, what we cannot see, and acting courageously nonetheless. It is the underlying philosophy that steers Blueprint, the Autonomous Self, and DON’T DIE. It’s a philosophy that will serve a society that advances, not by each funeral, but at the speed at which it rejuvenates. 
  Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of the new frontiers of being human. Johnson took stock of his health and realized that a decade of chronic depression and poor cognitive control earlier in life had affected every measure of his well-being. He decided it was time to evolve. Johnson’s controversial ideas and methods have attracted both detractors and devoted followers around the globe. In Zeroism, Johnson shares the philosophical principles that aim to help humanity choose a path forward into the future now.

  Medieval Conspiracy Theories:...

  Editors Charles River

  Few eras are easier to let the imagination run wild than the Middle Ages, which have often been coined the Dark Ages based on a perceived lack of progress and information. Indeed, we can say that it is not completely unfounded because we know less about that historical period compared to those that come after it. In addition, it is a period marked by a great number of deaths caused by plague epidemics, crusades, and inquisitorial persecutions. Often, researchers are not even sure how and why certain events happened, and these mysteries still occupy the attention of historians. 
  	This era was very harsh, difficult, and often gloomy. In that greyness, burdened by various fears, people were looking for something that would light up their lives and bring them a feeling of beauty and joy. People experienced all things and events around them more intensely than people do today. They often exaggerated the events that happened, giving them a mystical and divine character. For this reason, medieval sources are taken with a grain of salt and are first carefully examined before believing.  
  	At the same time, some historical mysteries about the era may never be solved, if only because the relevant excavated material has been lost or the archaeological site has been destroyed. In other cases, it is because new evidence is unlikely to emerge, or the surviving evidence is too vague to lead to a consensus. Of course, the lack of answers only makes these enigmas more intriguing.  
  	Similarly, few stories have the power to mesmerize as much as unsolved mysteries, so codes and missing puzzle pieces fill people with excitement and intrigue. What did a source want to say with that coded message? What mysteries did they hide?
