IMF - They Call It Democracy

“It’s not hard to bring out the worst in large numbers of citizens by constantly pressing their buttons; fear, hate, greed, false pride and blind loyalty are the main emotions used to manipulate people so much these last years. Reversing this process and empowering people through courage, love, generosity, humility and critical thinking is harder but it can and must be done.” -- Coleen Rowley for RootsAction; FBI whistle blower

This is dopamine at work - a brain chemical (neurotransmitter) responsible for feelings of reward and accomplishment. Whether indulging in viral videos or engaging in new hobbies, dopamine creates a sense of achievement that keeps us coming back for more.

However, reli

Saving lives and limbs on the high seas: the extraordinary world of early modern ship's surgeons

Imagine you are at sea facing a violent battle with an enemy ship. The experienced 17th-century surgeon John Moyle asked his reader to do just that.

LA fires risk reinforcing the false idea that we're all in this together

The decision is widely

Fake podcast clips are misleading millions of people on social media. Here's how to spot them

Podcasting is the medium of choice for millions of listeners looking for the latest commentary on almost any topic. In Australia, it's estimated about 48% of people tune in to a podcast each month.

However, the rise of podcasts has also led to a new trend of "fake podcasts". In some cases, these are a trivial marketing strategy. In others, they are a deceptiv

With nuclear power on the rise, reducing conspiracies and increasing public education is key

"It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
- Arthur Conan Doyle (1856-1930)

Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.”
John Milton

                                                     Origins of Poverty
When man came on earth he did not live in a society or hierarchy nor was he endowed with poverty. Good health, longevity, natural cheerfulness were his own even as he found himself amidst plenty. Like other species he lived or perished as the external resources permitted but he lived or perished as a group. Only when the society organised itself into a hierarchy, it was possible for one layer to exist while another persisted during times of scarcity. Organised ways of living, knowledge of all descriptions, systems created for comfort etc. interfered with the natural living of MAN in hundreds of ways. With the passing of time these stratifications of society come to stay and even create a psychology by which even the victim takes his victimization for granted. No question arises in his mind. ...

Had not the society organised itself in such a way that segments of it are protected and other segments were defenseless, MAN would have remained as MAN and would not have been bifurcated into poor and rich.

“Man was always destroying things, and beautiful things.
At the time they wouldn’t seem beautiful.
It was only afterwards that men felt pity for the things their hands had destroyed.”
