A Rare Recording of Helen...

Helen Keller, Annie Sullivan,...

Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Though born with the ability to see and hear, at 19 months-old she contracted an acute illness that left her both deaf and blind. Eventually, 20-year-old Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired, became Keller's speech instructor. It was the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship during which Sullivan evolved into Keller's governess and eventually her companion. In 1914, Sullivan's health began to fail, so a young woman from Scotland, Polly Thompson was hired to keep house. Though she had no experience with deaf or blind people, Thompson progressed to working as a secretary, and eventually a constant companion to Keller. Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She was a suffragist, a pacifist, a radical socialist, and a birth control advocate. In 1915 she and George Kessler founded the Helen Keller International organization, devoted to research in vision, health and nutrition. In 1920 she helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union.

Can Human Problems Be Solved? -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

"Can human problems be solved? - 27 September 1980 
• Why have human beings throughout the world not been able to resolve human, 
daily problems of life? What are the things that prevent the solution of these 
problems completely? 
• When there is attention there is no centre from which I attend. 
• A poor man wants to be rich and a rich man wants to be richer. It is a movement 
of becoming, becoming, both outwardly and inwardly. Though it brings a great deal of pain and sometimes pleasure, this sense of becoming, fulfilling, achieving psychologically has made my life into all that it is. 
• Is love something that is common to all of us? 
• From the particular move to the general, from the general move away still 
deeper, and there perhaps is this purity of that thing called compassion, love and intelligence. But that means giving your mind and heart to this. Your whole being must be involved in this."

When Companies Run the Courts -...

Brendan Ballou

The definitive exposé of forced arbitration, the secret justice system that protects abusers, employers, and powerful corporations “Ballou is one of our most insightful analysts of the modern American legal system. This careful study should be required reading.” —Simon Johnson, Nobel laureate and coauthor of Power and Progress America has a hidden justice system. There, decisions are made in secret, and “judges” are paid for by the companies and abusers who are being sued. Victims usually lose. But when they do, they cannot appeal, and they cannot turn to real courts for help. They are trapped in this system, and quite likely, so are you. You joined it when you accepted the Terms and Conditions on a website, opened a new credit card, or started a new job. When you did, you agreed to be trapped in this secret justice system called “forced arbitration.” Through its secrecy and corruption, forced arbitration helps companies cheat their workers, helps banks deceive their customers, and helps predators act with impunity. If companies and the very powerful often seem beyond the reach of the law, it’s because they are, and forced arbitration is the reason. Yet despite the fact that forced arbitration profoundly shapes our lives, almost nothing has been written about it. Brendan Ballou’s When Companies Run the Courts changes that. It shows how forced arbitration came to be, how it makes your life worse, and how we might escape it.

Apology - Plato

Plato

"Apology" is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The dialogue is a dramatization of the trial of Socrates, in which he is accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. The dialogue is set in 399 BC and recounts Socrates' defense before the Athenian court.
The dialogue is divided into three parts: Socrates' defense, the verdict, and the sentencing. In his defense, Socrates argues that he has been falsely accused and that he has only sought to bring greater wisdom and understanding to his fellow Athenians. He also reflects on his own mortality and the nature of the human soul.
Throughout the dialogue, Plato uses Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own philosophical ideas, particularly his belief in the importance of reason and the pursuit of truth. Socrates is portrayed as a wise and virtuous figure who is committed to living a life of integrity and to teaching others to do the same.
The dialogue has been widely studied and debated over the centuries and is regarded as a foundational text of Western philosophy. It offers a powerful reflection on the nature of truth, justice, and virtue, as well as on the role of the individual in society. It remains a valuable and thought-provoking work of philosophy that continues to be read and studied today.
Overall, "Apology" is a timeless and influential work of philosophy that offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, the nature of truth and justice, or the legacy of ancient Greece.
