Summary

In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. ​In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis and author of Civilization and Its Discontents, exploring science, religion, happiness, and the pleasure principle.

    In Sanctuary School, Chandler Patton Miranda highlights the many ways that K–12 schools can provide safe educational spaces and relevant, responsive resources for immigrant students. Miranda prompts educators to think beyond the baseline definition of sanctuary schools as protective institutions that practice legally supported noncooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. She envisions a whole-school approach to sanctuary that empowers marginalized students via radical welcoming and innovation.In this timely book, Miranda issues a call to action for educators and school leadership to create school spaces where immigrant youth can find belonging even in an era of increased anti-immigrant rhetoric. A forward-looking conclusion equips educators with radical mindset shifts and actionable strategies to navigate a second Trump presidency and an uncertain future for immigrant students. Among other takeaways, Miranda urges educational leaders to align school policy and hiring practices to promote a school culture that nurtures curiosity and ensures that the social and emotional needs of students are being met. This necessary book serves as a blueprint for educators, families, and students to organize within and outside the school community to secure positive outcomes for immigrant students.

    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
     
    There have been many attempts to encapsulate and explain the many mysteries that surround us; these include everything from the contents of the Vatican Secret Archives, the paranormal and Ufology and even subjects that seem to slip between the cracks of reality into the realm of high strangeness. 
     
    And now the United States government has finally admitted that many of the unexplained sightings of craft may very well be alien technology. 
     
    This book draws on all of these threads as it weaves its way thought the many twists, turns and possibilities that define the subjects discussed. 
     
    Just about all of the subjects examined are interlinked at one level or another. It is as if the ancient eastern concept of ‘oneness’ was recognised by our forefathers, long before the arcane physics of quantum mechanics demonstrated its reality. Perhaps this is a contributing factor to the belief that all points in space and time are interconnected. In fact it is thought that this peculiarity is how UFOs manage to traverse the incredible distances between the stars and perhaps even the galaxies. 
     
    Of course from our current level of knowledge, the ‘mechanics’ of such a technology can only be speculated upon. Or can it? We’re about to discover. 
     
    This book will discover and explain who these aliens are, how they come and why.

    Adam is caught fooling around with his girlfriend's best friend and has to make a choice. His girlfriend is willing to forgive him if he follows her every order and command. He agrees willingly but is in for a ride he would never ever have imagined. 
      
    Adam is transformed into Abby with the aid of hormone injections, laser treatments, and a rigorous regimen of lust and humiliation. Shrinkage is an obvious side effect of his feminization, and becoming an attractive woman is a slippery slope filled with punishment, degradation, and new partners who expects you to perform like any woman would. 
      
    How will Adam fare as Abby? Will he lose his last shred of masculinity, or will he lose the love of his life? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

    DEI Exposed - How the Biggest...

    DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 
    DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. 
    DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion. 
    How did the hustlers pull it off? 
    This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. 
    DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come. 
    Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects. 
    - Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University 
    The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self. 
    - Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism 
    With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity. 
    - Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast 
    Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.
