  Care - The Highest Stage of...

  Premilla Nadasen

  Since the earliest days of the pandemic, care work has been thrust into the national spotlight. The notion of care seems simple enough. Care is about nurturing, feeding, nursing, assisting, and loving human beings. It is "the work that makes all other work possible." But as historian Premilla Nadasen argues, we have only begun to understand the massive role it plays in our lives and our economy. 
   
   
   
  Nadasen traces the rise of the care economy, from its roots in slavery, where there was no clear division between production and social reproduction, to the present care crisis, experienced acutely by more and more Americans. Today's care economy, Nadasen shows, is an institutionalized, hierarchical system in which some people's pain translates into other people's profit. 
   
   
   
  Yet this is also a story of resistance. Low-wage workers, immigrants, and women of color in movements from Wages for Housework and Welfare Rights to the Movement for Black Lives have continued to fight for and practice collective care. These groups help us envision how, given the challenges before us, we can create a caring world as part of a radical future.

  Coercion - Forcing Someone to...

  Cito Harder

  Coercion is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, shaping behaviors, relationships, and power dynamics across societies. It is the act of compelling someone to act against their will through force, threats, or pressure. Unlike persuasion, which relies on voluntary agreement, coercion removes choice, leaving individuals with little alternative but to comply. It exists in various forms, from physical force and legal mandates to psychological and social pressures. While coercion is often viewed negatively, it is also a tool that governments, organizations, and individuals use to maintain order, enforce rules, and achieve strategic goals. Understanding the nature of coercion requires exploring its mechanisms, ethical dilemmas, and long-term effects. 
  At its core, coercion operates through a power imbalance. The coercer holds leverage over the coerced, whether through control of resources, authority, or the ability to inflict harm. This power can be direct, as in military force or legal penalties, or indirect, such as emotional manipulation or financial dependency. In many cases, coercion is subtle, embedded within societal norms and expectations. A person may comply not because they are explicitly threatened but because the consequences of refusal—ostracization, loss of opportunities, or economic hardship—are too great to bear. This makes coercion a pervasive force, influencing decisions in ways that may not always be immediately apparent.

  From Outer Space to Inner Space...

  Dr. Edgar Mitchell

  The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond. 
  In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.  
  For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.  
  Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.  
  From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.  
  Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.
