  This book combo explores the dramatic Storming of the Bastille, a powerful symbol of the oppressive monarchy, where revolutionaries took up arms in a bold act of defiance against royal authority. This event, widely considered the beginning of the revolution, sparked widespread civil unrest and the rise of revolutionary fervor across France. 
  The narrative continues with the Fall of the Monarchy, a seismic shift that ended centuries of royal rule and led to the execution of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. This momentous event not only marked the end of the French monarchy but also set the stage for the rise of radical political forces and the reshaping of French society. The final section covers the Women's March on Versailles, an event in which thousands of women, driven by hunger and frustration, marched to the royal palace, demanding food and accountability from the king. This march played a critical role in undermining the monarchy and bringing the Revolution to the heart of the French government. 
  Together, these events demonstrate how grassroots movements and bold actions by ordinary people, driven by a desire for justice and equality, led to one of history's most dramatic power shifts. Radical Shifts highlights the courage, sacrifice, and resolve of those who fought for a radically new France, laying the foundation for modern democracy and equality.

  The Appeal to Emotion Fallacy -...

  Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the validity of an argument. They are often used unintentionally, but in many cases, they are deliberately employed to manipulate or persuade others. A logical fallacy may seem convincing on the surface, yet it lacks a sound basis when scrutinized more closely. Understanding logical fallacies is crucial because they can mislead audiences, derail thoughtful discussion, and obstruct the pursuit of truth. 
  The study of logical fallacies dates back to ancient Greece, where philosophers like Aristotle laid the foundations for reasoning and argumentation. Throughout history, these fallacies have evolved and manifested in various forms, adapting to the cultural and rhetorical needs of each era. While some fallacies are easy to identify, others are more subtle and sophisticated, making them harder to detect. 
  A logical fallacy is not necessarily about the truth or falsity of the conclusion; it pertains to the quality of the reasoning that leads to that conclusion. In other words, even if the conclusion of an argument is correct, the reasoning behind it may still be flawed. For example, an argument that relies on emotional appeals or personal attacks rather than facts and evidence is committing a fallacy, even if the conclusion is true.

  This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.123 by Lily de Silva, "Radical Therapy: Buddhist Precepts in the Modern World" narrated by Jim Swift. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. 
   
  Excerpts: 
  "The Five Precepts are designed to discipline and purify the three avenues of human action-body, speech, and mind. Abstention from killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct disciplines bodily action. Abstention from false speech disciplines verbal action. It is also expected under this fourth precept that one should refrain from slander, abusive speech and frivolous talk. The dual discipline of body and speech has a salutary effect on the purity of mind, though complete mental purity can be brought about effectively only through bhavana, mental culture or meditation. The fifth precept against the use of intoxicants attempts to safeguard the mental faculty from degenerating through a bad habit. A man under the influence of intoxicants has no control over himself, and thus is easily tempted to transgress the four other precepts as well. ... 
   
  Conflicts, terrorism and wars have to be understood as the external manifestations of the internal disharmony of man. Man thinks violent thoughts, therefore there is violence in society. The corrupt mind brings suffering in its wake. This is an eternal truth. If happiness is what we yearn for, we have to entertain wholesome thoughts and act with wholesome thoughts; then happiness will follow effortlessly like a shadow. To train the mind for wholesome thoughts and healthy attitudes, our physical and verbal activities must be disciplined, and this is exactly what the Five Precepts do. They control our destructive potentials and humanise the predatory animal in us.

  Catholic Church’s Most...

  For centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. In the heart of Jerusalem sat one of the shining jewels of the Christian faith, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Legend has it that this was where their Savior had been buried before his fabled resurrection. What was more, it was said to house the very cross Jesus Christ had died upon. It was for precisely these reasons that fearless pilgrims, near and far, risked their lives and made the treacherous trek to Jerusalem.  
  	The Order of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Templars or the Knights Templar, is one of the best-known and least-understood groups in history. They appear prominently in everything from novels (The Da Vinci Code) to films (as the Knights of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) to videogames (Assassin's Creed). In these stories, they are a sinister cult that manipulated historical events since the Middle Ages, via intimidation and assassination. They are usually connected to the Freemasons and, sometimes, to other historical cults like the Hindu Thuggees. 
  	The knights of the Teutonic Order have since been compared to the surreal creature that appeared to the biblical Ezekiel, one that bore 2 faces – one of a man's, and one of a lion's. The human side of the creature is said to symbolize the order's charity, whereas the lion was a metaphor for its valor and gallant spirit, which they relied on to vanquish the heathens of the world. 	Like other secretive groups, the mystery surrounding these military orders helped their legacies endure. While some conspiracy theorists attempt to tie the groups to other alleged secret societies like the Illuminati, other groups have tried to assert connections with them to bolster their own credentials.
