You thought you had choices. Groceries. News. Medicine. Elections. Identity. But when one person starts pulling the threads, they realize something terrifying: The same few companies own nearly everything. This isn’t conspiracy. It’s receipts. SEC filings. Shareholder reports. Corporate structures hiding in plain sight. In 'The Web We Live In', JJ walks you through the aisles, the apps, the headlines, and the power structures—revealing how modern life was slowly consolidated into a carefully managed illusion of freedom.

I believe that negative thinking is the worst addiction of all! You know the people who are always negative, don’t you? It’s no wonder Americans have become so self-destructive, have low self-esteem and self-worth and are constantly sabotaging themselves. America has become a culture of addiction.

Robert Musil (1880 - 1942) schrieb Weltliteratur (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften), aber auch scharfsinnige Essays. Vor dem "Wiener Werkbund" hielt er am 11.3. und am 17.3.37 (wegen begeisterter Nachfragen) einen Vortrag über die Dummheit. Mit feiner Ironie und großer Geistesschärfe analysiert er die Geschichte der Dummheit - bis in Musils Gegenwart, also kurz vor dem sogenannten "Anschluss" Österreichs ans Deutsche Reich.

Un libro para afrontar un mundo en permanente conflicto, vencer la resistencia de nuestro enemigo interior, obra con coherencia y lograr nuestros objetivos. La filosofía ha dejado de estudiar la vida de los filósofos para centrarse en su pensamiento. Vivimos en una sociedad en la que el pensamiento ha sido monopolizado y la filosofía cínica ha sido silenciada. Las enseñanzas de los sabios clásicos, descendientes de Sócrates, que demostraron que el ser humano es un fin en sí mismo y que no debe renunciar ni a su poder ni a su libertad de acción, han sido tergiversadas e incluso eliminadas.

Lost and Found, by Dr. Mark D’Souza, ventures deep into this quandary, addressing the poignant disconnects of our modern era. As workplaces remain trapped in a cacophony of disagreements, the world witnesses an opioid crisis showing no signs of remission. Drawing upon his extensive experience in medical practice and rich insights from philosophy, psychology, and literature, Dr. D’Souza traces this descent into chaos, marking Nietzsche’s assertion of the “death of God” as a pivotal moment in the annals of philosophical and societal thought.

In 1910, when the industrialists and intelligentsia both promised only “progress,” G. K. Chesterton was among the few in the West who could see the brewing ideological storms that would soon make landfall, not just in the form of world wars and totalitarianism but in the pervasive modern dehumanization that consumes us to this day. More than a century ago, Chesterton perceived the beginnings of “woke capital” and how it aligns with and promotes social progressivism. There is an unspoken alliance between big business and progressives, he explains.

En este breve ensayo, ¿Qué es el Dinero?, Tolstói analiza el dinero no solo como herramienta económica, sino como símbolo de poder y desigualdad. Sostiene que el dinero permite a unos pocos vivir a expensas del trabajo de muchos, y que su acumulación casi siempre implica injusticia. Para él, el sistema económico moderno es inmoral porque legitima la explotación y aleja al ser humano de una vida sencilla y justa.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau es recordado como uno de los grandes pensadores del siglo XVIII, pero su obra El Contrato Social es más que un tratado político: es también una guía profunda para la libertad personal, la autodisciplina y el crecimiento interior. Si bien se enmarca en el contexto de cómo debe organizarse un Estado justo, sus enseñanzas pueden leerse como una metáfora poderosa sobre cómo ser el soberano de tu propia vida.

"Fast-Food" è una tragedia alimentare per essere letta, una parodia del teatro classico calata su un palco immaginario che solo il lettore saprà ricostruire, per rappresentarvela al meglio. Tra un hamburger, una bibita, un cartoccio di patatine fritte e un caffè lungo, tutti rigorosamente americani, si interpongono frasi fatte, espressioni da copia-incolla, personaggi pre-programmati, risposte sommarie, imprecise, non pertinenti e disumane. In un microcosmo o macrocosmo in cui c'è anche da ridere.

Viviamo nell'epoca che più di ogni altra celebra la libertà e la proclama un diritto assoluto. Eppure qualcosa non torna. Una nebbia sottile, silenziosa, si è insinuata nelle nostre vite: non vieta, non ordina, non punisce. Seduce. E mentre promette tranquillità e benessere ci spinge verso l'omologazione, spegnendo il pensiero critico, inibendo la creatività e il coraggio di essere diversi.

In 1890s America Thorstein Veblen attacked a careless acceptance of prevailing social structures, identifying ancient roots for ‘pecuniary culture’ and ‘conspicuous consumption’–realities that promoted materialism and squashed fulfilment. In The Theory of the Leisure Class the worthy Engineer, creating essential products for all, is pitted against the predatory Businessman, exempt from grubby industrial toil and focussed on useless profits.

"L’homme ne peut devenir homme que par l’éducation. (...) L’éducation doit donc discipliner les hommes. La discipliner, c’est chercher à empêcher que ce qu’il y a d’animal en eux n’étouffe ce qu’il y a d’humain, aussi bien dans l’homme individuel que dans l’homme social. La discipline consiste donc simplement à les dépouiller de leur sauvagerie" E. Kant

A deep-dive look at how new generations are not a continuance of previous generations but have sworn off the common bonds that held generations together. It is not about old people dying so much is it is about how the traditions, the mindset, even the shared generational values of previous generations no longer are part of new generations.
