  Advocates and activists in Singapore contribute to policy discussions and positive change through a combination of deft manoeuvres and patient politics. Yet civil society is often unacknowledged, their skill and labour instead frequently misunderstood, even earning them the label of “troublemakers” or “enemies of the state”. 
   
  This collection of essays and interviews is a candid reflection on the intentions, beliefs and strategies behind the practice of advocacy across a spectrum of causes. The contributors come from varying backgrounds and include academics, artists, lawyers, journalists, non-profit and advocacy organisations, student and community organisers. They share practical insights into their aims and community-building work, and the tactics they employ to overcome obstacles, shedding light on how to navigate a city-state with shifting socio-political fault lines and out-of-bound markers. 
   
  With an introduction, “It is Time to Trim the Banyan Tree”, by Constance Singam, and a conclusion, “Their Struggle is Ours to Continue”, by Suraendher Kumarr.

  Can the mind not be a slave to knowledge? - 21 July 1974 
  • When consciousness invents a super-consciousness is it a part of thought aware of the past? 
  • Is there a part of the brain which has not been touched by the known? 
  • Is it our education to escape from ‘what is’ through ideals? 
  • Has the mind been trained to operate and function in the field of the known? 
  • Observing the movement of thought and its source, can one come upon some 
  thing beyond thought? 
  • Is time required to see the reality and non-reality of knowledge? 
  Questions from the audience followed the talk.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Deconstruct the dangerous myth of authenticity that dominates modern culture. This provocative analysis reveals how the advice to 'be yourself' oversimplifies human nature, ignores social context, and sets people up for failure. Discover why successful people adapt strategically rather than remaining rigidly authentic to some fixed self-concept. Learn how flexibility, growth, contextual awareness, and strategic self-presentation create better outcomes than stubborn adherence to a singular identity everyone encourages you to find and express. Explore the history of authenticity as cultural value, why it emerged in consumer capitalism, and how it serves commercial interests more than human flourishing. Understand that you contain multitudes, contradictions, and possibilities that no single authentic self could encompass. Freedom comes from embracing complexity, not finding simplicity.

  The Mississippi Delta is not a place I would have picked to live and if you had asked me a few years ago what I knew about the region, it would have been a puzzle since I knew nothing of its history or culture -- I'd never even heard of Emmett Till.
