  Science Ideated - The Fall Of...

  Bernardo Kastrup

  Leading-edge empirical observations are increasingly difficult to reconcile with "scientific" materialism. Laboratory results in quantum mechanics, for instance, strongly indicate that there is no autonomous world of tables and chairs out there. Coupled with the inability of materialist neuroscience to explain consciousness, this is forcing both science and philosophy to contemplate alternative worldviews. Analytic idealism—the notion that reality, while equally amenable to scientific inquiry, is fundamentally mental—is a leading contender to replace "scientific" materialism.  
   
   
   
  In this book, the broad body of empirical evidence and reasoning in favor of analytic idealism is reviewed in an accessible manner. The book brings together a number of highly influential essays previously published by major media outlets such as Scientific American and the Institute of Art and Ideas. The essays have been revised and improved, while two never-before-published essays have been added. The resulting argument anticipates a historically imminent transition to a scientific worldview that, while elegantly accommodating all known empirical evidence and predictive models, regards mind not matter as the ground of all reality.

  The Theory of Moral Sentiments

  Adam Smith

  "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is a book written by Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher and economist who lived from 1723 to 1790. First published in 1759, the book is considered one of the most important works in the field of moral philosophy. 
  In the book, Smith explores the nature of morality and the role of sympathy and empathy in human interactions. He argues that human beings are naturally inclined to feel sympathy for others, and that this sympathy forms the basis of moral judgments. He also discusses the concept of the "impartial spectator," an imagined observer who helps us to judge the morality of our own actions. 
  Smith's ideas in "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" have had a profound impact on fields beyond moral philosophy, including economics and political theory. In his later work, "The Wealth of Nations," Smith developed his ideas on the nature of markets and the division of labor, which have become foundational concepts in modern economics. 
  Overall, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is a key work in the development of Western moral philosophy, and is still widely studied and debated today.

  On August 6, 2011, a tragic event unfolded when Extortion 17, a Chinook helicopter, was shot down, resulting in the loss of 30 American servicemen, including 17 Navy SEALs from the legendary SEAL Team 6. It marked the largest loss of life during the War on Terror, a war America was told started because of Osama bin Laden and 9/11. 
  In Alan Parrot's narratives, an oral history captured by Nick Noe, he puts tragic events, including 9/11, Benghazi, and Extortion 17, into perspective. Alan, an Arabist, spent much of his life with royalty in the Middle East and learned about such national tragedies through observation, conversations, and omission. He explains how diplomatic immunity played a role in 9/11 and details the weapons transfer that resulted in the tragedy in Benghazi.  
  Behind these heart-wrenching incidents lies a web of secrecy and deception. Startling revelations have come to light, thanks to the evidence shared with the grief-stricken Gold Star families during the debrief. Astonishingly, it appears that Extortion 17 was not a random act of war, but rather a meticulously orchestrated setup. The threads of this conspiracy can be traced back to the historic Osama bin Laden raid, a mere three months prior, and thus 9/11. 
  Within the pages of this gripping book, you will embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Delve into the enigmatic concept of diya, the key that unlocks the truth behind Extortion 17. Unveiling secrets known to only a privileged few, Extortion 17's Why illuminates the darkest corners of a clandestine world. 
  Prepare to be captivated by a tale that challenges your perception of reality and sheds light on the shadows. Are you ready to unravel the mysteries and uncover the untold story of Extortion 17?

Broadway is one of New York’s greatest treasures, and where there is treasure, there is a backstory. When it comes to Broadway, that backstory is fittingly juicy, dramatic, and unexpected. And no one knows these hidden histories like Teale Dvornik, who has been leading Broadway fans on tours of the theater district since 2017. With her immense knowledge and passion for the theater, Dvornik now takes readers on her one-of-a-kind tour of Broadway, “stopping” at each of the 41 theaters to tell us fun facts, lesser-known history, ghost tales, and interesting stories about actors, performances, stage flukes, blunders, and more, involving the biggest names and productions in theater history.  Learn about the Tiffany chandeliers of the Belasco Theater, the trove of hidden jewels at the Gershwin (which houses years of history from the beloved musical Wicked), and the impresarios and players who influenced Broadway. Readers will also learn the fascinating back stories of theater myths, legends, and traditions. Where did the stage ghost light come from? What started the tradition of intermissions? Which theaters have secret connecting hallways? And much, much more!  Along the way, Teale takes detours to explain stage lingo and dives into some of Broadways most popular shows, including CATS, Hello, Dolly!, and Rent.
