  Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

  Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
   
   
   
  Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

  Hybrid cars, and indeed, all electric vehicles are playing a rôle in the salvation of the planet’s eco-system. At least, in respect to the world supporting human life. However, hybrid cars will one day be replaced by vehicles that use no irreplaceable energy at at all, once the technology is there. It is likely that there will be at least two such power sources in the near future: electricity and hydrogen – but who knows what else will be available? 
  Hybrid and electric cars are revolutionizing the automotive landscape, offering a myriad of advantages that extend beyond the traditional internal combustion engine. One of the primary benefits is environmental sustainability. Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing air pollution and carbon footprint. As the world grapples with climate change, the shift towards electric vehicles is a crucial step in mitigating environmental impact. 
  Furthermore, these vehicles contribute to energy efficiency. Hybrid cars combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, optimizing fuel consumption and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Electric cars, relying solely on electric power, boast high energy efficiency and cost savings over time. With advancements in battery technology, electric cars now offer extended ranges and faster charging times, addressing concerns about range anxiety. 
  Beyond environmental and economic advantages, hybrid and electric cars provide a smoother and quieter driving experience. The instant torque delivery in electric motors enhances acceleration, making these vehicles not only eco-friendly but also performance-oriented. As governments worldwide incentivise the adoption of cleaner technologies, the advantages of hybrid and electric cars position them as the driving force in the future of sustainable and efficient transportation.

  GRAND PRIZEWINNER -- 2023 Nautilus Book Award 
  "This book is profound... A must-read... Five stars." --Reader's Favorite 
  “Masterful… uplifting…” –Self Publishing Review 
  “Many books promise to change a person’s life. This one actually might.” –IndieReader 
  One of the essential books of our time, Reclaiming the Sacred draws on the work of thousands of psychologists and economists, cosmologists and activists, saints and poets, to ground us in our inherent joy, purpose, and belonging—both for our own sakes and the sake of the world. 
  It starts with an overview of the science of happiness, highlighting the things that most nourish human well-being—and some that don’t, most notably money and possessions. It goes on to examine the ways money nonetheless hooks so many of us, and the profound consequences our materialism has for us and the world—most critically the global climate crisis. 
  And then it goes beyond all of that, diving into the very heart of ourselves and the world, taking us on an exhilarating journey—both scientific and mystical—of reclaiming the sacredness of ourselves and this gorgeous world. This book elevates our existence, and lays an essential foundation for transcending this most critical era in human history.
