  Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now Jaron Lanier 'Behaviors of Users Modified, and Made into an Empire for Rent' BUMMER. The whole purpose of BUMMER is turning you and changes to your behavior into a product. The algorithms fundamentally work to favor platform owners and advertisers, and those parties need abstractions of you in order to manipulate you. The business plan of BUMMER is to sneakily take data from you and make money off it. Look at how rich BUMMER companies are and remember that their wealth is made entirely of the data you gave them. BUMMER was originally sold as a barter deal. 'Let us spy on you and in return you'll get free services.' This might seem like a reasonable deal in the short term, but in the long term it's terrible.   

  The Physics of Climate Change Lawrence M. Krauss By the end of the century, while it will be hotter everywhere on average, in the tropics and subtropics the seasonal average summer temperature will be warmer then the warmest summer thus far almost 100 percent of the time. It is in these regions that the greatest percentage of currently malnourished individuals live and where the population depends most heavily on agriculture, which will be most strongly affected by global warming.  

  A Briefer History of Time Stephen Hawking ,   Leonard Mlodinow The twentieth century saw man's view of the universe transformed: we realized the insignificance of our planet in the vastness of the universe, and we discovered that time and space we curved and inseparable , that the universe was expanding, and that it had a beginning in time. There is a good chance that the study of the early universe and the requirements of mathematical consistency will lead us to a complete unified theory within the lifetime of some of us who are around today, always presuming we don't blow ourselves up first!  

  Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism Mariana Mazzucato We live in an era in which capitalism is in crisis and a flawed ideology about the role of government has infiltrated our expectations of what it can do and thus what other actors can do in partnership with government ...to change capitalism, we must therefore change the interrelationships between government, business and civil society, especially the underlying power relationship. There are a variety of different forms of capitalism and we have the wrong one.      .

Freedom Is a Constant Struggle Angela Y. Davis Progressive struggles whether they are focused on racism, repression, poverty or other issues, are doomed to fail if they do not also attempt to develop a consciousness of the insidious promotion of capitalist individualism. I see my work as reflecting not an individual analysis but rather a sense within movements and collectives that it was not possible to separate issues of race from issues of class and issues of gender.    

  Bullshit Jobs: A Theory David Graeber If the existence of bullshit jobs seems to defy the logic of capitalism, one possible reason for their proliferation might be that the existing system isn't capitalism-....In many ways, it resembles classic medieval feudalism, displaying the same tendency to create endless hierarchies of lords, vassals, and retainers.    

  En defensa del humanismo: Reflexiones para tiempos difíciles Alejandro Gaviria En Colombia, hoy más que nunca, la libertad tiene que ver con el respeto a las comunidades organizadas, con la protección a quienes luchan por el medio ambiente y un futuro mejor y por la protección también a quienes protestan y no se conforman con el mundo como es. Ser libre es alzar la voz tranquilamente, es decir lo que uno piensa sin temor a la intimidación violenta, es poder construir colectivamente sin temer por la vida.        

  Historia de Colombia y sus oligarquías Antonio Caballero A partir de 1990 el neoliberalismo ha dominado la vida económica de Colombia, y en consecuencia la política, bajo todos los sucesivos gobiernos. En compañía de otras cinco fuerzas catastróficas que también podrían considerarse naturales y abstractas, como los jinetes del Apocalipsis: el narcotráfico, el paramilitarismo, la insurgencia, el clientelismo y la corrupción.  

  Colombia: las razones de la guerra Jorge Orlando Melo ..., en la Conquista era lícito matar a los indios. En la Colonia, la violencia contra los rebeldes era permitida. En la Independencia, era válida para reemplazar al tirano, y en el siglo XIX, para eliminar el enemigo político. En los últimos 60 años, se le ha defendido como legítima para destruir un régimen opresivo, y en respuesta, para defenderse de la violencia subversiva. Todos los grupos que se han visto impulsados a usar la violencia terminan rechazando los argumentos del contrario para ejercerla y justifican, de forma muy vehemente, la propia.
