Frida Kahlo, Her Politics
"The revolution is harmony of form and color and everything that is and moves under one law: life. No one separates from no one. No one fights for him or herself. Everything is everything and one. The anguish and the pain and the pleasure, and death [too], are no more than a process to exist. The revolutionary struggle, in this process, is an open door to intelligence." -Frida KahloKahlo is regarded today as a feminist icon, also inexorably linked to politics, yet her paintings remain highly personal and her writings rarely mention politics, and when they do, it's almost always in passing. But by examining the few references to politics available in her letters, one can, to an extent, "tease...

Why Is Life So Hard? a History
"Anxious? Depressed? You might be suffering from progress and civilization." Today we go to therapy, read self-help books, take psych meds. Yet still feel that it's not enough. Habits are hard to break, they tell us. Decisions are mostly emotional; made by our unconscious mind, and not by the conscious part of our brain.[1] But the problem might also come from outside; from our mores, ways, and values; from various social and cultural forces that shape our minds. And this is where history may be good at giving us a hand, perhaps, in some cases, even going beyond psychology. Why is life so hard? History has good answers to this question. It tells us how deep cultural roots go. How 10,000 year...

America's Financial Apocalypse and the Return of the Left
We live at the doorstep of a major political reversal in the United States, and indeed around the planet. Voters today, an "anti-establishment" insurgency rattling internal politics everywhere, are waiting for the first opportunity to "jump" traditional politicians, and very happy to elect people they regard as "outsiders." This has already happened in the United States, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Brazil, among other countries. Will a new economic recession further this "anti-establishment" mood? Will it then lead America towards a complete political reversal? Will beliefs today regarded as "rock-solid," such as, for instance, the infallibility of the "free markets" and the sanctity of the private sector be replaced by a new set of certainties?Financially hijacked by large banks and facing an imminent financial catastrophe, America is about to undergo a fundamental shift to the Left. Read this lucid, timely sociological forecast based on recent history, surveys, and long term economic cycles.
Why Is Life So Hard? a History of Suffering
Why is life so hard? On the face of it, this question may not be all that hard to answer. After all, our species has devoted 10,000 years to gaining control over people and resources instead of consolidating its wellbeing. But what is less evident is how deep this trend goes; how much we keep feeding it; and how unaware we are about its very toxic consequences. For the purpose of this book, human history is broken into three main parts. The first covers the rise of farming, which gave us our unique ability to dominate the world, but also to corral ourselves into ever rising levels of stress, violence, and conflict --what we now call "progress." The second part covers the rise of governments ...
