  The Fall of Rome - Causes and...

  The decline of the Roman Empire is one of the most studied events in world history, with numerous scholars and historians seeking to explain the causes and contributing factors that led to its fall. It is a complex process that unfolded over centuries, involving a combination of internal weaknesses and external pressures. Although the empire had been a dominant force for centuries, by the 5th century AD, it was struggling to maintain its territorial integrity and power. Several key elements contributed to this gradual decline. 
  One of the primary causes of the empire's decline was economic instability. Over time, the Roman economy became strained under the weight of military expansion, government spending, and inefficient management. Inflation began to plague the empire as the government devalued its currency to finance its military campaigns and public works. Additionally, the empire faced a growing reliance on slave labor, which hindered innovation and economic development. As the economy weakened, the cost of maintaining the empire’s vast infrastructure and military forces became increasingly difficult to manage, leading to a cycle of financial crises. 
  Political corruption and instability were also central to the empire's decline. Throughout its later years, the Roman government became riddled with corruption, particularly within the ruling elite. Emperors were often chosen based on their ability to maintain power rather than their administrative abilities, leading to a lack of effective leadership. The Senate, once a powerful institution, lost its influence, and political factions within the empire vied for control, often undermining efforts to address the empire’s growing problems. This fragmentation of political power weakened the central authority, making it difficult to implement coherent policies across the empire.

  Bright Eyed - Insomnia and Its...

  RM Vaughan

  For forty years, RM Vaughan has been fighting, and failing, to get his forty winks each night. He's not alone, not by any stretch. 
  More and more studies highlight the health risks of undersleeping, yet we have never been asked to do more, and for longer. And we can't stop thinking that a lack of sleep is heroic: snoozing is a kind of laziness, after all. But why, when we know more about the value of sleep, are we obsessed with twenty­-four-­hour workdays and deliberate sleep deprivation? 
  Working outward from his own experience, Vaughan explores this insomnia culture we've created, predicting a cultural collision -- will we soon have to legislate rest, as France has done? -- and wondering about the cause-and-effect model of our shorter attention spans. Does the fact that we are almost universally underslept change how our world works? We know it's an issue with, say, pilots and truck drivers, but what about artists-- does an insomnia culture change creativity? And what are the longterm cultural consequences of this increasing sacrifice for the ever elusive goal of 'total productivity'? 
  ‘With his usual caustic wit and gut-churning insight, Vaughan guides us through pills, sleep clinics (where even the therapists don’t sleep) and the nightly nightmare of Restless Leg Syndrome. Interviewing long-term insomniacs, neuroscientists and Douglas Coupland, Vaughan battles an always-on culture – taking us right to the core of a dreamless empire.’ – Redfern Jon Barrett, author of The Giddy Death of the Gays & the Strange Demise of Straights 
  ‘RM Vaughan has taken his lifelong affliction with insomnia and (dare I say it) made it funny and sexy.’ – Dr. Brian Goldman, host of CBC Radio’s White Coat, Black Art and author of The Secret Language of Doctors

  Practicing New Worlds explores how principles of emergence, adaptation, iteration, resilience, transformation, interdependence, decentralization, and fractalization can shape organizing toward a world without the violence of surveillance, police, prisons, jails, or cages of any kind, in which we collectively have everything we need to survive and thrive. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on decades of experience as an abolitionist organizer, policy advocate, and litigator in movements for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice and the principles articulated by adrienne maree brown in Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, Ritchie invites us to think beyond traditional legislative and policy change to create more possibilities for survival and resistance in the midst of the ongoing catastrophes of racial capitalism—and the cataclysms to come. Rooted in analysis of current abolitionist practices and interviews with on-the-ground organizers resisting state violence, building networks to support people in need of abortion care, and nurturing organizations and convergences that can grow transformative cities and movements, Practicing New Worlds takes listeners on a journey of learning, unlearning, experimentation, and imagination to dream the worlds we long for into being.
