Synopsis

Prepare for a no-holds-barred, viciously funny demolition of Plotinus, the third-century mystic who genuinely believed he could outsmart the universe with a toga, a smirk, and an ego the size of Alexandria.In Plotinus Shredded, we tear through his Neoplatonic fever dream. The One? A vague cosmic buzzword that explains nothing. Emanations? A divine PowerPoint presentation gone horribly wrong. The Nous? His intellectual VIP club for thoughts too snooty for reality. The Soul? His whiny excuse to hate fun. Matter? The poor physical world he treats like a cosmic landfill. And don’t get us started on his contemplation obsession—navel-gazing dressed up as enlightenment.This book isn’t your dusty philosophy professor’s lecture; it’s a rowdy, irreverent joyride that calls out Plotinus’ metaphysical bullcrap while celebrating the tacos, sunsets, and vibrant chaos of the material world he despised. We mock his academic fanboys, skewer his influence on everything from medieval theology to crystal-obsessed Instagram influencers, and expose his recycled ideas for the Plato fanfic they are.

    Dive into the heart-wrenching world of Voices of New Belarus, a searing documentary drama by renowned Belarusian playwright-in-exile Andrei Kureichik. This powerful work captures the harrowing events of the 2020 Belarusian revolution through the deeply personal accounts of 16 political prisoners. Each monologue reveals a distinct story, a unique truth, and together they create an unflinching mosaic of resistance, sacrifice, and hope.First presented at Yale University and the Oslo Freedom Forum—the world’s foremost human rights festival—these testimonies come to life through the voices of the Yale School of Drama’s finest actors and prominent intellectuals: historian Timothy Snyder, intellectual history professor Marci Shore, fascism scholar Jason Stanley, and the visionary theatre director Jura Kordonsky. They embody the words of Belarusian heroes, including imprisoned Nobel laureate Ales Bialiatsky, revolutionary icon Maria Kolesnikova, and many others—politicians, journalists, priests, and ordinary citizens—who stood up against the brutal regime of dictator Alexander Lukashenko.This audiobook is not just a performance—it’s a testament to truth that refuses to be silenced. Half of the proceeds will directly support funds aiding political prisoners and their families, making each listen a contribution to justice. Prepare for an emotional journey that will challenge your understanding of freedom—and leave your soul forever changed.

    "Why do we want to dominate or be subservient to another? - 20 August 1949  
    • Why is it that we dominate, consciously or unconsciously? 
    • To submit oneself to another is the negative form of domination. We shall not 
    be able to solve this problem by thinking in terms of opposites. 
    • Is not domination a process of isolation, which denies relationship? 
    • Can there be relationship between two people if there is any sense of 
    domination or submissiveness? 
    • Q: Is not the experience of the past a help towards freedom and right action in 
    the present? 
    • Q: Is my believing in survival after death a hindrance to liberation through self- 
    knowledge? 
    • Q: Why is it certain individuals identify themselves with you or with your state 
    of being and thereby gain authority for themselves?"
