A Tale of Futures Yet Unwritten

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In a world obsessed with predicting and controlling the future, one author dares to ask: What if we embraced uncertainty instead?

In this thought-provoking and timely book, Pasquale De Marco argues that our attempts to control the future are not only futile, but also dangerous. He shows how our obsession with futurecasting has led to a loss of control over our own lives and destinies.

Drawing on a wide range of sources, from history and philosophy to psychology and economics, Pasquale De Marco reveals the hidden costs of our future-oriented society. He shows how our fear of the unknown has led us to become more anxious, more risk-averse, and less creative. He also argues that our attempts to control the future have had a devastating impact on the environment and on our relationships with each other.

But Pasquale De Marco does not simply criticize our obsession with the future. He also offers a path forward. He shows how we can learn to live in the present moment, embrace uncertainty, and create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the future of humanity. It is a call to action for all of us to rethink our relationship to time and to embrace the beauty and mystery of the unknown.

In this book, you will learn:

* Why our attempts to control the future are futile
* The dangers of our obsession with futurecasting
* How to live in the present moment and embrace uncertainty
* How to create a better future for yourself and for generations to come

If you are ready to let go of the illusion of control and embrace the unknown, then this book is for you.

A Rare Recording of Psychologist...

According to poet Allen Ginsberg, he was "a hero of American consciousness", and writer Tom Robbins called him a "brave neuronaut". President Richard Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in America". During the 1960s and 1970s, at the height of the counterculture movement, Leary was arrested 36 times. The following recording was made in 1992.

Wei Shu and Wu - The Three...

Rolf Hedger

The fall of the Han Dynasty marked the end of one of China’s longest and most influential imperial reigns, setting the stage for the chaotic period of the Three Kingdoms. While the dynasty had enjoyed centuries of stability and prosperity, internal corruption, weak leadership, and external rebellions steadily eroded its power. By the late second century AD, the once-mighty Han court was little more than a battleground for rival factions, warlords, and opportunists seeking to seize control.
One of the first major signs of decline was the increasing corruption within the imperial court. Eunuchs, who had gained substantial influence over the young emperors, manipulated state affairs for personal gain. As these power struggles intensified, competent officials and generals were sidelined or purged, leaving the empire vulnerable to both internal unrest and external threats. The weakening of central authority allowed regional governors and warlords to act with growing independence, further fragmenting the empire.
Amidst this political turmoil, a major peasant uprising erupted in 184 AD—the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Led by Zhang Jue, a Taoist healer who promised salvation through divine intervention, the rebellion quickly spread across northern and central China, drawing hundreds of thousands of followers. Although the Han government eventually crushed the revolt, the effort severely drained the empire’s resources and exposed its inability to maintain control. The rebellion’s suppression also elevated the status of military commanders, many of whom would later become the powerful warlords who divided the empire.
