In this audiobook, I discuss the "social sense", which is triggered by interaction with other people. I define a sense as something that can cause either: discomfort or pleasure to a person.

The Good Life is a deeply reasoned but entertaining polemic about how the notion of morality has been co-opted by the political right, as the culture increasingly embraces the shallow charms of celebrity, gives a pass when it comes to failings in the realm of marital fidelity, and lives comfortably with the notion that we are all driven, more or less, by greed and the desire for power over others.

Das "Tao te king" ist ein unerschöpfliches und tiefgründiges Weisheitsbuch, das auch die Menschen außerhalb Asiens unmittelbar anzusprechen vermag. Als Verfasser dieses Werkes wird Laotse vermutet, die Textkritik geht von einer Entstehung des Textes etwa 400 vor Christus aus. Die Grundidee von Laotse besteht in der Vorstellung vom Kreislauf des Kosmos, die in der Beobachtung des Einzelnen liegt und erfahrbar wird. Basis ist die unauflösbare Einheit, deren Pole Yin (das Passive, das Dunkle, das Weibliche) und Yang (das Helle, das Aktive, das Männliche) sind.

Was ist lächerlich an der Vorstellung einer Welt ohne Gewalt? Warum wird der Traum von einem friedlichen Zusammenleben als kindliche Illusion abgetan, für Frieden demonstrierende Jugendliche sogar belächelt? Arno Gruen antwortet: Weil die Kraft der Träume die Anpassung an die angebliche Realität gefährdet. Menschen werden genau dann zu Eroberern und Kriegstreibern, wenn sie Gewalt mit Lebendigkeit verwechseln. Solange diese Illusion funktioniert, wird Größenwahn für Stärke gehalten.

Tre anni dopo la pubblicazione del "Cigno nero", un racconto filosofico acclamato in tutto il mondo, Nassim Nicholas Taleb fa il bilancio della vita del suo libro. L'idea talebiana del "Cigno nero" ha conquistato milioni di lettori e fecondato la ricerca in campi molto diversi, dalla filosofia alla statistica, dalla sociologia alla psicologia, agli studi sul clima, alla medicina. Meno feconda questa idea si è rivelata invece in economia, l'area più immediatamente vicina agli interessi dell'autore.

Giuseppe Cruciani intercetta ogni giorno gli umori vibranti del paese da un punto di ascolto privilegiato - la trasmissione "La Zanzara" su Radio 24 - rispondendo spesso con ironia e intelligenti provocazioni. Ha scoperto a sue spese, però, che su un argomento è vietato scherzare, perché ci si scontra con l'assolutismo di una comunità che ha sempre più potere: i "fasciovegani". Questi sono i più estremi sostenitori di un animalismo militante che spesso deborda nella violenza di pensiero, di parola, talvolta fisica.

In this era of the climate crisis, in which our very futures are at stake, sustainability is a global imperative.

Whether you're a high-powered CEO of a Fortune 500 company, a college student studying tirelessly through the night, or a hard-working member of society not living under a rock, chances are you've seen how dangerous the Cancel Mob can be. They point out problems without providing real solutions and insist on firing, doxing, and harassing others before any facts or evidence are produced. In an attempt to understand the use of cancellation as a political tactic, I researched notable cancellations of celebrities, politicians, and many others in the public sphere.

La Tierra no es perfectamente redonda, pero la circunferencia creada por los hombres sí lo es. Lo malo es que cuando intentaban medir esa circunferencia inventada con su diámetro, salía un número irracional, un número desconcertante, el número pi. Otros conceptos ideales creados también por los hombres, como la simetría, la ortodoxia, la unanimidad, el orden o la belleza pueden derivar también en consecuencias irracionales, indeseadas, injustas y dañinas.
