What is consciousness? This audiobook presents an understanding of life that transcends matter. More importantly, it transcends the difference between what you are and what I am. Despite its reliance on what is known through Western Science, it is a transcendence of the Western understanding of reality. It does not begin with a world and then try to figure out how life evolved within it; it begins with life and extrapolates where the world came from.

A depressive illness or a passing feeling? Mental detachment or a precursor to genius?

Human analysis differs from every other system of character analysis in that it classifies man into five types according to his biological evolution.

Un video, un post, una foto, un meme, una frase, una canzone diventano tormentoni, improvvisamente prendono a circolare, colonizzando, grazie a computer, smartphone, tv, giornali, la nostra attenzione e la nostra mente. Perché certe idee circolano più di altre? Che cosa rende più o meno virale un'immagine o un prodotto culturale?
