  Hubris - The Rise Fall and...

  Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? 
   
   
   
  Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? 
   
   
   
  While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which it finds itself, we are not at the mercy of our DNA—or at least we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  • 0

  For decades, renewable energy has been marketed as the ultimate solution to climate change, pollution, and our reliance on fossil fuels. Solar panels and wind turbines fill the landscape, promising a cleaner, greener future. Governments, corporations, and activists push the narrative that renewables are not only necessary but inevitable. Billions of dollars have been poured into the transition, with incentives and subsidies encouraging the mass adoption of so-called “clean energy.” On the surface, this movement appears to be a global success.  
    
  Yet, beneath the optimistic rhetoric lies a far more complex and inconvenient truth. While renewable energy offers undeniable benefits, it also comes with significant drawbacks that are rarely discussed. Solar farms consume vast amounts of land, wind turbines disrupt ecosystems, and hydropower alters entire river systems, sometimes with devastating consequences. The environmental cost of producing, maintaining, and disposing of renewable energy infrastructure is frequently overlooked. Furthermore, the idea that renewables alone can sustain modern society is built on a foundation of wishful thinking rather than reality.  
    
  One of the biggest challenges facing renewables is reliability. The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow. Unlike fossil fuels, which provide a constant and controllable energy supply, renewables fluctuate unpredictably. This intermittency creates enormous challenges for electrical grids, often requiring backup from coal, natural gas, or nuclear power. Energy storage technology, such as batteries, is still far from capable of bridging this gap at the scale necessary. The result is an energy system that is fragile, expensive, and, in some cases, even more dependent on fossil fuels than before.

  Natural Healing - Using Natural...

  Natural healing is the practice of using natural remedies such as herbs, foods, vitamins, and other plants to cure or prevent illness. In contrast with traditional Western medicine which focuses on treatments that are often high-tech and invasive, natural healing typically takes a less medical approach. 
  In most cases the body has a self-regulating ability to heal itself without intervention from individuals or outside sources which can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to individuals who choose this type of treatment. However some people may have specific health conditions in which they need outside help from natural healers in order for their bodies to fully recover. 
  The term "natural healing" is also used in the context of alternative healing as opposed to alternative medicine, which is a distinct field at scientific investigation with its own principles, methods and theories. 
  Natural healing is a well-established practice in many cultures around the world; certain cultures are known to have had medical practitioners who have used natural remedies for centuries before the discovery of modern medical science.
