Summary

Old Age Teaches explores the untapped potential of elder wisdom in our aging society, challenging the common narrative of aging as decline. The book examines how insights from older adults can address contemporary societal challenges and promote well-being. It bridges the gap between anecdotal wisdom and empirical analysis, offering a fresh perspective on aging populations and their contributions. One intriguing area highlighted is the role of perspective-taking and emotional regulation, aspects often refined with age, and how these contribute to practical judgment.

 


 
The book progresses through three core parts: defining elder wisdom, analyzing societal datasets to correlate elder populations with positive outcomes, and exploring practical applications like intergenerational programs. By integrating quantitative data and qualitative insights, Old Age Teaches moves beyond stereotypes to provide an empirically grounded understanding of older adults' value. It highlights how elder wisdom can foster resilience, promote societal well-being, and create more age-friendly communities, ultimately challenging ageist views prevalent in social science and psychology.

    A job as a deckhand on a shark fishing boat in Bass Strait for law student Chris Howse, begets a quest to keep a journal of his dreams as a way of exploring who he is and what he should do and as an antidote to a seemingly lazy zeitgeist.  
    Via the shark boats, the occupation of a barrister at the Victorian Bar and work as a tram conductor in Melbourne (in that order), his dreams lead him to the heart of Aboriginal Australia at the Katherine Regional Aboriginal Legal Aid Service and subsequently to Darwin and the bush courts of the Northern Territory, acting on behalf of the Aboriginal people. 
    As he fights in the courts for the rights of his Aboriginal clients, his dream journal undergoes a renaissance.

    “I’ll feed your addiction. I’ll make you never want to leave me.” 
    Caleb said he wanted me to help with his new business venture, but I didn’t realize that meant servicing the entire college fraternity through a hole in a curtain. 
    On my knees in a tiny shed, I await my next client, eager to hear his pleasured moans. They don’t know I’m a dude, but that doesn’t matter. They only care about one thing—and I can give it to them. 
    But drinking all this seed is changing me. When I go home after a long shift, I find myself craving more… 
    I’m becoming addicted to frat boys.

    "Elected leaders come and go, but public unions just say no." Hiding in plain sight is a fatal defect of modern democracy. Public employee unions have a death grip on the operating machinery of government. Schools can't work, bad cops can't be fired, and politicians sell their souls for union support. With this searing five-point indictment, Philip K. Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. 
     
     
     
    Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. Public unions keep it that way by brute political force—harnessing the huge cohort of public employees into a political force dedicated to preventing the reform of government. 
     
     
     
    The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls. Public employees have a fiduciary duty to serve the public and should not be allowed to organize politically to harm the public.

    How did Vladimir Putin galvanize the Russian people to back his genocidal war in Ukraine, and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, on-the-ground narrative reveals how Russia's fascist generation came into being—and the dark future that awaits the country if that hold cannot be broken. 
     
     
     
    Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life. But in a world where pretense has become the norm, a terrifying, apocalyptic mindset is seizing the Russians of tomorrow. 
     
     
     
    As enrapturing as it is terrifying, Z Generation reveals how Russia ended up where it is today, and where its young people are headed: a fascist generation more zealous, violent, and ideological than anything the country has seen before.
