  The Fifth History of Man

  MD John Bershof

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Fifth History of Man has a few parting shots at viruses but mostly continues with the world of parasites, from tick disease that tick us off, Old Lyme, Connecticut and Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, Crazy Cat Lady and her clowder of cats, then on into a discussion of the avatar of parasites: malaria. Our travels will venture down into the valley: Valley Girls, Valspeak, Valley Fever, fungus and fungal infections. We’ll jump into the biology of evolution, Darwin, Huxley and the great debates, the geology of earthquakes, volcanos, the Ring of Fire, and Johnny Cash, and then through the homos: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and once the dust cleared how the opposable thumbs, walking erect, and bigger brains left one man standing, one woman, too. No discussion of human history can leave out the G.O.A.T. of French history, heck, of European history; the man, the legend, Napoleon Bonaparte, loved and admired by everyone, even his enemies. Our path will take us into war & military, World War I versus the 1918 Swine Flu, some Russian history and how Stalin got Lenin wrong.

  Forgiving Humanity - How the...

  Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity’s accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation—a positive feedback loop leading to exponential rates of change. But our minds cannot grasp the full implications of exponential growth. We think more in terms of linear change, leading to a blind spot on the future.  
  However fast the pace of change may be today, it will be even faster in the years to come, bringing ever more rapid scientific and technological advances. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved. The faster the change, the greater the stress, and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams. 
  Russell argues there is no blame for this. Spiraling rates of development, with all their consequences, positive and negative, are the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species.  
  How do we live with such unsettling conclusions? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? What does it mean for the future of humanity? 
  Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology —as well as a masters degree in computer science —at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.

  A Next Big Idea Club "Must Read" for August 2025! 
   
  Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." 
   
  The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing. 
   
  It's past time to free ourselves from our dangerous and dogmatic faith. Such unwarranted optimism will accelerate our disintegration. If we want to have hope for the future, it must be grounded in a recognition of human limits—a view Scranton calls ethical pessimism. 
   
  Scranton describes the challenges we face in making sense of our predicament, from problems in communication to questions of justice, from the inherent biases in human perception to the difficulties of empirical knowledge. What emerges is a challenging but hopeful proposition: if we have the courage to accept our limits, we may find a way to embrace our future.

  Remote work has transitioned from a rare privilege to a widespread norm, reshaping the way individuals and organizations approach productivity, collaboration, and work-life balance. While working remotely once seemed limited to freelancers and digital nomads, advancements in technology and a shift in workplace culture have made it a viable option for professionals across all industries. This transformation has been especially accelerated by global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced companies to adopt remote strategies almost overnight. As a result, many organizations have discovered the long-term benefits and flexibility that remote work offers. 
  The evolution of the modern workplace has been marked by a steady move away from traditional office settings. High-speed internet, cloud computing, and a wide array of collaboration tools have made it easier than ever to connect from anywhere in the world. Employees no longer need to be physically present to contribute meaningfully to their teams. This has given rise to distributed workforces, where talent is sourced globally, and diverse perspectives are brought together in virtual environments. The shift has not only broadened hiring pools but also enabled businesses to reduce overhead costs and improve employee satisfaction. 
  Technology has played a pivotal role in enabling this transition. Tools for communication, project management, video conferencing, and file sharing have made collaboration seamless, even when teams are spread across multiple time zones. Platforms like Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace have become central to the remote work ecosystem. These technologies are not just alternatives to in-person interaction—they are becoming essential components of the modern work experience.
