[close] Why do we often neglect big problems, like the financial crisis and climate change, until it's too late? In this TED Talk, policy strategist Michele Wucker urges us to replace the myth of the "black swan" -- that rare, unforeseeable, unavoidable catastrophe -- with the reality of the "gray rhino," the preventable danger that we choose to ignore.

[close] Author Daniel B. Martin reads an excerpt from his book Alethea's Dreams. One of Alethea's 8 Dreams, this story, Las Hijas de Mañana, is more of a nightmare than a dream. It was inspired by the plight of immigrants, particularly of Hispanic origin in the United States. It looks at how modern socio-political-economic factors influence violence and unlivable situations in many parts of the world. That violence fuels and feeds migrations, against all odds, and with long lasting difficulties. The story of Pedro and his two daughters, Lupe and Cynthia sets a fictional backdrop for the reasons that a migrant might show up on your doorstep (figuratively speaking) and be willing to work for menial wages, without paperwork and in impoverished conditions. It is intended to provide an as-if backstory to take the place of many individual's untold stories and to provide a voice for some of the missing voices of modernity.

[close] Author Daniel B. Martin shares an excerpt from his book Alethea's Dreams. Domino is the first story in Alethea's Dreams. Taking place in an ambiguous antiquity, it could occur at any time and in any place. It is a story of slavery, of the madness of civilization and the 'order of things'. It poses many questions, far from the least of which is whether or not the human condition can ever be improved upon. The full version of this story can be found in Alethea's Dreams, available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble on June 1, 2021.

[close] Author Daniel B. Martin shares an excerpt from his book Alethea's Dreams. The story Deal is a critique and commentary on modern industrial commercial consumer capitalism. It looks into the motivations of a man whom needs the foundation of his house fixed and the salesman who is negotiating the work order. A sneak peak into Samuel the salesman's home life shows how different forms of advertising create consumer demand and how the contemporary family unit deals with their constant consumer desires and the need to both create and distribute their finances. Each of the men involved in the Deal have their own motivations and external forces that push on them and help guide them through a modern economic transaction.

I also believe capitalism is not exclusively under threat from socialism but from its own worst elements. …” “ … Let me be very clear, I believe we currently need capitalism. We need capitalism to stimulate ingenuity, creativity, prevent slothfulness, stimulate livelihoods, et cetera. The simple motivation of the individual to increase their chances or better themselves cannot be lost or ignored either. However, capitalism is under threat. But when I hear people discussing this threat, I rarely hear proponents asking the tough question of how it is possible that some are so susceptible to socialism. …” ~ Reviews Appreciated ~ Copyright © 2021 ~ FREE: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view... https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/savi... https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/savi... https://books.apple.com/us/book/savin... https://play.google.com/store/books/d...

[close] As part of the Baugh Center Free Enterprise Forum, guest speaker Joseph Henrich spoke on the topic of "WEIRD Minds: How Religion and Family Shape Psychology, Democracy, and Innovation." This lecture draws on Henrich’s award-winning book The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2020). WEIRD stands for Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. The book argues that unlike much of the world today, and most people who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. They focus on themselves -- their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations -- over their relationships and social roles. Henrich draws on research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to illuminate the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations ha
