Robert Sapolsky, his approach and implication on the nature of human nature and human behavioural biology. Dr Gabor Maté on capitalist societies and its pathological implications for the individual and the myth of the normal, as well as his reflexion on the fundamental human needs as a characterization of our species. Slavoj Zizek’s philosophy converging with David Horowitz’s neoliberal zionism, moderated through Julian Assange’s actual facts, on what our world is hiding. Trumps political campaign advertisements speak an untold truth about the cracks that happen when capitalism hides behind democracy. Varoufakis’ critics on Europe and democracy, warning of the Matrix Reloaded that might be waiting for us in the future. Tariq Ali’s activism and Noam Chomsky’s perspective on the middle East and western foreign policies over the last decades. Inequality for all. Technology for all. Ray Kurzweil's newsletters confirming that the future is already here. Facebook, Google, Apple, and others know more about us then the KGB, but this time with our consent. Nature is dying, our nature is dying with it. Yuval Noah Harari in his book “Sapiens, a brief history of Humankind” puts the question of whether our species will survive the technology it is creating, into a serious historic perspective. Cosmologist and mathematician Max Tegmark analyses potential time and space available for humans to evolve and reminds us our existential risks and roadblocks. Through Ziley Mora Penroz’s study on the language, symbolism and philosophy of the aboriginal chilean “Mapuches” we encounter another universe, in which our subconscious connexion to nature contextualises our own existence in a surprisingly harmonious way. In the meantime we look mostly at our phones, pay our bills, look for work, and hope things will get better. But what lies ahead seems not devoid of challenges, suffering, insecurity, inequality and ecological destruction, unless we face who we are and what we are doing. And even then, it’s still a long road to peace, progress and survival. ​
