New Human

Humans are awesome. Our brains are gigantic, seven times larger than they should be for the size of our bodies. The human brain uses 25 percent of all the energy the body requires each day. And it became enormous in a very short amount of time in evolution, allowing us to leave our cousins, the great apes, behind. So the human brain is special, right? Wrong, according to Suzana Herculano-Houzel. Humans have developed cognitive abilities that outstrip those of all other animals but not because we are evolutionary outliers.

Gray and computer scientist Siddharth Suri team up to unveil how services delivered by companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Uber can only function smoothly thanks to the judgment and experience of a vast, invisible human labor force.

How to Be Animal tells a remarkable story of what it means to be human and argues that at the heart of our existence is a profound struggle with being animal. We possess a psychology that seeks separation between humanity and the rest of nature, and we have invented grand ideologies to magnify this.

Cosmology is the story we tell ourselves about why we are here in this Universe. Right now we humans find ourselves in a cosmological transformation that is as profound as the radical shift in collective consciousness after we realized that the Sun doesn’t orbit around the Earth. We live in a time that collapses time into timelessness; we live in a space that doesn’t acknowledge boundary. The story is changing right now, because our knowledge of who we are is changing. We must re-understand humanity, its reason for existence, and its potential for co-participating with evolution.

What is it that makes us human? Is it language, imagination, morality, or is it that we cook and wear shoes? Or perhaps we are less human than we think - Neanderthal and Denisovan genes can be found within all of us!

From 1897 to 1917 the red-light district of Storyville commercialized and even thrived on New Orleans' longstanding reputation for sin and sexual excess. This notorious neighborhood, located just outside of the French Quarter, hosted a diverse cast of characters who reflected the cultural milieu and complex social structure of turn-of-the-century New Orleans, a city infamous for both prostitution and interracial intimacy.

Human progress has been haphazard and inefficient, driven by chance and marred by wasteful use of resources, conflict, and suffering. Today, billions still live in poverty, and we face existential threats from global catastrophic risks such as climate change, nuclear war, AI mismanagement, and pandemics. The current global order lacks the coordination needed to tackle these threats effectively. This is not acceptable. Humanity's potential is immense, and it is far too soon for us to face our end without striving for more.

Herein, the author states unequivocally, and for the record, that Vril has nothing to do with Nazism, fascism, racism, hate, or bigotry. Like most Venusians, Thor follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, Tecumseh, Krishna, and Buddha, which generally state that all men are created equal in God’s sight, and are loved equally by God. Today, in 2018, most everyone has heard about Vril, so Thor has no trouble stating that this book, edited for him by his brilliant human acolyte, Clement Wood, is about one of the key aspects of Vril: the sexual psychology of human beings.
