YR1627 It Was Just a False Alarm

Here are some links to supplement your listening pleasure (also errata re: death cafe)

1. Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33917107-on-tyranny). It’s a thin volume and a quick read. But if you really want to know about the existential threat of totalitarianism read: The Origins of Totalitarianism (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/396931.The_Origins_of_Totalitarianism?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_18). It’s only 527 pages.

2. A generic campus statement for any world conflict: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/statement-from-the-university-on-current-tensions-in-the-place-youre-probably-thinking-about-when-you-read-this.

3. Death Cafe: https://www.deathcafe.com/ . There are some online ones if you want to sample it. https://deathcafe.com/deathcafes/ The founder was British, not American. My bad. Also the cafes started in 2011 and he died in 2017. Definition : https://deathcafe.com/what/ Founder: https://deathcafe.com/profile/2/ . Interview with Jon Underwood and the de facto leader of the Toronto area group Linda Hochstetler : http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-may-12-2016-1.3578623 .

4. The book I am reading on consciousness is : The Experience Machine : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176824176-the-experience-machine—2023-edition?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=GVcMBYjL3S&rank=3
