Dictionaries define health as the absence of disease, but that's wishful thinking, for diseases typically begin asymptomatically. You don't know you have them. You might feel fine, but you can't say there's no cancer, occlusion, infection etc. lurking beneath the surface. If something pops up, you might describe it, name it, even fix it, but until you see it, you can't know if it's there. So, feeling fine isn't adequate.
It's actually much worse...

Anarchist axioms appear in contemporary debates on neoliberalism and ecology. Websites passing on anarchism's radical principles proliferate in...

« Le discours solidaire des puissants n'est qu'un leurre, puisqu'en réalité ils comptent bien davantage sur l'égoïsme et l'isolement des individus pour asseoir leur pouvoir. Le xxe siècle a été l'occasion de faire croire aux populations du monde, et en premier lieu à celles des pays industrialisés, que le "chacun pour soi" était la voie unique de la réussite. Le capitalisme [...] a conduit à des aberrations inédites en matière d'inégalités...

Politics is an extension of your personality. It all begins in childhood, particularly among individuals from large, traditional families. Each sibling in the birth order develops a unique personality, which then develops into extroversion or introversion.
As each sibling matures and grows, their personality begins to have an impact on their politics, with the extroverted siblings becoming more liberal and the introverted siblings becoming more conservative....

What impels someone to abandon middle-class privilege for the sake of revolution? In the 1960s, Meinhof began to see the world in increasingly stark terms: the United States was emerging as an unstoppable superpower, massacring a tiny country overseas despite increasingly popular dissent at home; and Germany appeared to be run by former Nazis.

La democracia, está en crisis. Las sociedades neoliberales han confundido la búsqueda de la libertad con el placer del libertinaje. En México, se considera que la democracia es un sistema de gobierno fallido. ¿Era esto lo que tanto anhelábamos? ¿Era esto lo que la alternancia del 2000 nos prometía?
Tres autores con prosas y experiencias distintas entre sí, discurren en los mismos temas y procrean un diálogo entre ellos.

Popular media may create news cycles around horrors or stereotypes, but the effort required to redefine and sustain "normal" lives after war stays below the surface and out of sight. In Retire the Colors, nineteen thought-provoking stories by veterans and civilians consider the residual effects of Iraq and...
