  Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Have you ever wondered how much you miss simply by not paying attention to the details? 
  Imagine that instead of merely "seeing" what happens around you, you could decipher those small clues that reveal the true essence of people and situations. From a young age, I was amazed at how characters like Sherlock Holmes noticed what others overlooked, and that fascination led me to discover a universe of possibilities: it's not about "reading minds" but about observing with intention, weaving together clues from body language, facial expressions, details, and daily habits to understand those around us on a deeper level. After years of practice, I want to share this ability with you—a simple yet powerful guide that will help you unlock a level of perception that will change the way you interact with others. 
  Within these pages, you will find stories inspired by real-life experiences, practical advice, and exercises you can apply from day one. You will see how, little by little, your world becomes clearer, whether in conversations with friends or while sitting in a café observing strangers. Mastering observation is not just about learning techniques—it is about discovering a new way to connect with people and improve both your personal and professional relationships. 
  Are you ready to embark on this journey of perception and deduction?

  Norse Mythology: The History of...

  Editors Charles River, Andrew Scott

  Much of what is known of the Norse myths comes from the 10th century onwards. Until this time and, indeed, for centuries afterwards, Norse culture (particularly that of Iceland, where the myths were eventually transcribed) was an oral culture. In fact, in all Scandinavian countries well into the 13th century laws were memorized by officials known as “Lawspeakers” who recited them at the “Thing.” The Thing was the legislative assembly in Scandinavia “held for judicial purposes.” 
  One of the most famous of these Lawspeakers was the Icelander Snorri Sturluson, a masterful writer who wrote the Prose Edda in the thirteenth century. There are other sources for the Norse myths, namely the later “Poetic Edda,” a collection of poems and prose work, and other sagas but the Snorri’s Prose Edda is the most complete work whose attribution is known to modern scholars. 
  The Prose Edda is a collection of Norse Myths split into three sections, the Gylfaginning (the Deluding of Gylfi), the Skáldskaparmál (the Language of Poetry) and the Háttatal (the Enumeration of Meters). The first has a frame story that entails a Swedish King, Gylfi, disguising himself as an old man, Gangleri, when he journeys to Asgard to meet the gods. When he arrives, he meets three men - “High One, Just-As-High, and Third” - who reveal to him stories of the world and the gods. The second section contains a warning for Christians not to believe in the Norse gods, specifically the two families, the Aesir and the Vanir, but also refutes the notion that they were demons, which was a common supposition among some Christians at the time. The Prose Edda begins in this line of thought with a euhemeristic prologue, which traces the history of the Norse Gods as human heroes of Troy, making Thor one of King Priam’s sons.
