Global Systemic Crisis
Our world has transformed over recent decades with concerning trends that threaten to destabilize nation states, abolish society and culture, establish digital control over individuals, erase identity, and diminish what makes us human.

This signals a systemic crisis of modern global capitalism.
This book surveys today’s pivotal trends, contrasting the dying old world with the emerging new one including their social systems, social sciences, and conceptions of humanity. Drawing on extensive research, it features interviews and lectures by prominent yet little-known thinkers, especially for English readers.
Of particular value, the work synthesizes insights from diverse domains – news, scientific and monographic articles, video lectures, films, and manga. The copious footnotes and bibliography constitute a significant portion of the text, providing sources for further investigation.
Overall, this book aims to furnish keys to analysing today’s interwoven crises, serving as a guidebook for comprehending the contemporary age holistically. It empowers readers to conduct their own inquiries into this crucial juncture that will shape the future.
Sure to intrigue even those less versed in the subject matter.

Global Science: The Last Option Before Collapse
This book presents the culmination of a 14-year pathbreaking research project examining the risks of civilisation collapse and potential solutions to avoid such an outcome. A profound diagnosis reveals that the root issue lies in the widening rift between the hard and social sciences, which have proven largely ineffective at managing the deficiencies of the former. Of course, the prevailing strategies, structures, and human resource management processes of modern nations have also played a significant role in destabilising societies. In economics, we still operate on principles of partial and general equilibrium, whereas we urgently need to adopt the global equilibrium framework proposed here. As things stand currently, we face two major failings in confronting this crisis. First, we lack the knowledge to overcome the existential threats before us. Second, the forces calling for change have adopted inadequate strategies, organisations, and leadership compared to the well-oiled machinery of the status quo. What we need is to jointly develop the missing knowledge and use it to take appropriate action, beginning with the creation of a new discipline, Global Science, to make sense of it all.

Social Theory of Displacement: Adventures in the Everyday
What is happening when we mistake one thing for another? Disorientations and double takes are a key part of the lived experience of modern capitalism. But the corollary of this is an existential anxiety which motivates a perpetual search for reassurances of our individual and collective identities.
How do we escape self-estrangement and alienation on any level of existence? The experiential gaps in formal bureaucratic and marketised ‘life’ present us with absolute boundaries or difference, and hence binary forms of identity. The search for identity is then accompanied by an inability to deal with the hybridity and cognitive dissonance of everyday life.
The fragmentations of institutional life nevertheless produce something that passes for a world of reciprocal recognition (we are all colleagues, part of a ‘team’ and so on). In fact, at the same time this pulls the rug out from beneath a sense of mutuality with fellow incumbents of such formal, contractualised settings. The dominance of formal institutions in modern life promotes the idea that we can ‘find ourselves’ within these settings and it does so by insinuating within itself the experiential world that it lacks.
Here, informal social worlds appear in chimerical and caricature form. Modern capitalism feeds off and mimics the spontaneity, contingency, and collegiality of the lived world in order to present itself as the genuine article.
Social Theory of Displacement: Adventures in the Everyday attempts to unravel the conundrums posed by living in these parallel worlds of reciprocity and contractualism.

Purgatory Musings
This book of poetry deals with the conflict where science is dominant in working its wonders, and the religious has become questionable regarding its relevance. It results in our culture’s tendency to view science as our major source of defining and controlling reality. This is suggested in Arthur C. Clarks novel, Childhood’s End, as well as in the classic Kubrick film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. The point being that we are no longer children dependent upon a father, but are on our own, alone.
Science utilises information of the external world, ie. collection of data and statistics, but is weak in its ability to cross the boundary into the internal world of the individual. In fact, it frequently disparages claims of noetic witnessing as fancy, hysteria, illusion, or outright psychosis. The poems are a mixture of fantasy and reality, leaving the reader to determine their personal view. The two convictions noted have consequences. Our culture’s present absolute trust of science in all knowledge leaves a sense of control, but results in a terrifying feeling of alienation in a cold universe. The religious view, having a quality of support, offers comfort of hope, but at the price of having to submit to a power greater than ourselves.
Speculation is that our world of common experience, with its mix of good and evil within us, as well as without, is in fact an odyssey of repetition and judgement. It is our home, it is Purgatory.

The Future of Mankind: In All Things a Happy Medium
As mankind is moving onto the next stage of its evolution, spiritual maturity in order to reach balance, which will be a golden age, human beings will have to choose, with a united voice, to transcend the current paradigm of division and violence. It is thus paramount that each individual understands his or her role for the advent of this future. There are decisions to be made at two levels: collective action and individual action. At the collective level, we must end wars and rethink some legalizations.
At the individual level, which is the main focus of this book, emphasis is put on each person’s ability to contribute to collective progress by listening to one’s inner voice and by overcoming the social constructions that enchain people’s minds. Often times, different fears prevent us from being ourselves and different preconceived ideas lead us to believe that there might not be enough resources for all or that others might be an obstacle to our wellbeing. The author is inviting the reader to overcome these personal challenges in order for all of us to feel better.

Breaking Through: Negotiating Impasses
Life is a process of mutual persuasion. Whatever our walk of life much of our everyday energy in interpersonal, intergroup and international relations is directed at trying to get others to do as we want, to change their behavior or beliefs. Change can evoke resistance, tensions rise, people find themselves in conflicts they cannot see a way out of. They precondition talks; become entrapped by escalation dynamics; struggle to listen effectively; misjudge one another’s intentions, capacity, commitment or competencies; and make choices whose consequences they haven’t thought through. Current and future relations become marooned on unresolved issues from the past. Some see better returns in perpetuating than resolving differences. Predatory neighbours and difficult political, social and economic conditions reduce the wriggle room for creative problem-solving.
Drawing on 35 years of experience as a mediator in a changing South Africa, as a conflict scholar, and as a trainer across over 30 countries Mark Anstey shares insights into how people have broken through such impasses.

Pharmaceutical Warfare to Spiritual Deception
This is a book on how the medical system has led to an ongoing mafia system throughout the western world and has led to the few who get cured and the many who get destroyed by the legal medical system and some who even die from it, which is very much like how a mortgage system to property development works. The few at the top gain everything while the many at the bottom pay the price for it by taking the risks of being drugged and experimented with, while being told it’s the healthcare system. It’s to show how far someone today must go to be cured, and why more people need to demand cures than just accept the system of healthcare when they’re the consumers of this system, keeping the majority of those in it employed. With an aging population now growing around the world, this industry has become the biggest industry in the world and has created a cancer on itself by profiting off sickness rather than curing it!
