Alberto Cavaglion"Nella notte straniera"Gli ebrei di Saint Martin de VésubieFusta Editorewww.fustaeditore.itTra 1939 e 1943 il susseguirsi di tragici even- ti favorì il convergere lungo l'arco alpino oc- cidentale di una cospicua quantità di ebrei in fuga dalle persecuzioni. Le leggi razziali in Italia, lo scoppio della seconda guerra mon- diale e la conseguente invasione della Fran- cia meridionale da parte degli italiani, poi la conquista di Parigi da parte dei tedeschi for- mularono una sorta di fatale legge di gravità, capace di attrarre decine e decine di famiglie: donne, anziani e bambini, che ripararono prima lungo la costa che unisce la Riviera di Ponente e la Costa Azzurra (si pensi a Wal- ter Benjamin o Arthur Koestler), poi lungo il versante francese delle Alpi, dalla valle della Vésubie su fino all'Alta Savoia. La maggior parte di loro erano “stranieri”, giunti in Italia dopo il 1933, o fuggiti da Parigi invasa dalle SS. Polacchi, russi, un- gheresi, austriaci. Tra Nizza e Saint Martin vissero un periodo di relativa tranquillità, che di poco precede la fuga attraverso i valichi al- pini al seguito di una armata in rotta. Per una parte di loro l'arrivo in Italia volle dire pri- ma l'internamento nel campo di Borgo San Dalmazzo, poi la deportazione ad Auschwitz. Per i sopravvissuti le valli cuneesi furono ter- ra d'asilo fino alla Liberazione. Una vicenda di grande intensità emotiva, ma un problema non semplice da spiegare per gli storici. Come sciogliere infatti la contraddi- zione di un paese come l'Italia, che s'era dato una legislazione razziale feroce, ma alla fero- cia rinuncia quando si trova a convivere con le strategie di sterminio dell'alleato tedesco e del regime collaborazionista di Vichy?Che cosa fa, di questo libro, qualcosa di diverso da altri su argomenti simili? Forse il fatto che non è solo documento, o cronaca, o descrizione, o rifles- sione, ma un po' tutte queste cose insieme. Andrea Devoto, La Nuova Antologia, 2152, ottobre-dicembre 1984 Le livre suit avec beaucoup de minutie un épisode fort peu connu. Une contribution très attachante qui doit être versée au dossier ouvert par Marrus et Pax- ton dans un ouvrage déja classique. Claude Lévy, Bulletin de la Société d'Histoire de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, XVI, 13, 1982 Una scrittura asciutta, la più lontana possibile da ogni giornalistica ricerca di effetti e che perciò non disperde mai l'insuperabile forza del nudo fatto. Lucio Ceva, Il Risorgimento, XXXIV, 1, febbraio 1982 Cavaglion has pieced together the story of several hundred Jews who moved to Nice in the tiny Ital- ian-held part of France after Mussolini's downfall in 1943, hoping (justifiably) that they would be bet- ter treated by the Italians than by the SS. Memoirs, civic, military, parish and hospital records, local ar- chives, diaries and correspondence. John Gatt-Rutter, Fatal flight, Times Literary Supplement, 30 aprile 1982Alberto Cavaglion (Cuneo, 1956) ha insegnato Storia dell'Ebraismo all'U- niversità di Firenze.

Revolutionary Loyalty and Early Family Tensions. Joseph Turigian discusses the life of Xi Zhongxun, a devoted but persecuted revolutionary communist, emphasizing his deep loyalty to the party, reminiscent of Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon. The segment explores the revolutionary mindset where personal suffering proves dedication to a world-historical force. It also details Xi Zhongxun's compelling first marriage to Ha Minghu, a tough peasant revolutionary who struggled to balance motherhood and the demands of the early, male-dominated Chinese Communist Party. Guest: Joseph Turigian. 1899

ESSENTIEL, Le rendez-vous culture Jacques Benhamou reçoit Stéphane Koechlin pour son livre « Arthur Koestler, la fin des illusions » paru aux éditions du Cerf. À propos du livre : « Arthur Koestler, la fin des illusions » paru aux éditions Cerf Géant littéraire aux millions de lecteurs, auteur visionnaire au destin de météore, Arthur Koestler fut un écrivain adulé, haï, immense, dont la vie épousa les chaos du siècle dernier. Partisan de toutes les causes, il vit sa quête d'absolu se heurter aux grandes tragédies et son existence basculer. Devenu l'adversaire de toutes les idéologies, son engagement antitotalitaire culmina avec la publication de son maître-livre, Le Zéro et l'Infini. Parce qu'il avait tout vu. Parce qu'il avait tout dit. Voici son histoire. Tour à tour espion communiste et militant sioniste, passé par les prisons et condamné à mort, Arthur Koestler a eu mille vies. Mille vies que raconte Stéphane Koechlin dans cette biographie qui se lit comme un roman d'aventures et nous entraîne sur les pas d'un homme qui aura cherché toute sa vie une terre d'élection, un idéal politique. Un homme déchiré entre plusieurs langues, son hongrois natal, l'allemand qu'il répudiera, l'anglais, l'hébreu fantasmé. Enfin un homme libre, écrasé entre les blocs totalitaires du xxe siècle, qui s'accrochera à la littérature et déchirera le voile des illusions. Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, la vie d'Arthur Koestler doit être racontée, et sa sagesse apprise. Acquise qu'elle fut dans les drames, les malheurs et les guerres dont nous voyons le retour aujourd'hui. Un livre capital.

In this episode of Spirit Box, I'm joined by Gary Lachman — musician, writer, and author of twenty-six books on Western esotericism — for a conversation that spans from the Bowery to the astral.Gary was the bassist for Blondie during their early New York years, and shares his journey from a childhood fascination with comics to his time living in a loft with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, where a flamboyant biker artist introduced him to Aleister Crowley. That encounter, and a fateful read of Colin Wilson's The Occult, set him on a lifelong path through the hidden corridors of consciousness, mysticism, and philosophy.We talk about precognitive dreams and telepathy, the strange electrical accident that may have opened psychic doors, and how a shared dream with his girlfriend became the Blondie song “Touched by Your Presence.” Gary reflects on his shift from rock and roll to writing, his time as a science journalist, and his enduring fascination with thinkers like Gurdjieff, Robert Anton Wilson, and Arthur Koestler.The conversation also explores Gary's “naturalist” approach to magic — a focus on direct experience rather than dogma — and his philosophy of daily writing as an esoteric practice in itself. Along the way, we touch on David Bowie, near-death encounters, and the lasting influence of Colin Wilson on his work.Show notes:https://www.gary-lachman.comhttps://www.instagram.com/gvlachman/https://www.innertraditions.com/touched-by-the-presenceKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

Książka "Wielka czystka" Aleksandra Weissberga-Cybulskiego to świadectwo człowieka, który na własnej skórze doświadczył zbrodniczego charakteru dwóch totalitaryzmów - komunizmu i nazizmu. Jego życie to dramatyczna droga przez przedwojenne Niemcy, Związek Sowiecki, więzienie NKWD i getto krakowskie, aż po powojenną ucieczkę z Polski na Zachód. To historia fizyka, inżyniera, pisarza i hazardzisty, który pozostawił jedno z najważniejszych świadectw epoki. Weissberg znalazł się w samym centrum wydarzeń – jego pobyt w ZSRR przypadł na okres Wielkiego Głodu i Wielkiej Czystki, które pochłonęły miliony istnień. Sam stał się ofiarą represji, przebywając dwa lata w enkawudowskim więzieniu. Po wojnie to Arthur Koestler, jego przyjaciel i światowej sławy pisarz, namówił go do napisania "Wielkiej czystki". Dlaczego młody człowiek z żydowskiej rodziny z Krakowa uwierzył w komunizm? Kiedy nastąpiło rozczarowanie tą zbrodniczą ideologią? Czy Weissberg-Cybulski uważał się za ofiarę? A może, ze względu na komunistyczne sympatie, poczuwał się do współodpowiedzialności za tym, czym był sowiecki komunizm? O tym wszystkim w dzisiejszym podcaście rozmawiają dr Michał Przeperski i prof. Irena Grudzińska-Gross z Princeton University oraz Instytut Slawistyki PAN Podcast zrealizowano w ramach zadania: kontynuacja i rozbudowa multimedialnego projektu informacyjno-edukacyjnego - Portal Historyczny Dzieje.pl

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Michael Jagdeo, a headhunter and founder working with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate, about the cycles of money, power, and technology that shape our world. Their conversation touches on financial history through The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson and William Bagehot's The Money Market, the rise and fall of financial centers from London to New York and the new Texas Stock Exchange, the consolidation of industries and the theory of oligarchical collectivism, the role of AI as both tool and chaos agent, Bitcoin and “quantitative re-centralization,” the dynamics of exponential organizations, and the balance between collectivism and individualism. Jagdeo also shares recruiting philosophies rooted in stories like “stone soup,” frameworks like Yu-Kai Chou's Octalysis and the User Type Hexad, and book recommendations including Salim Ismail's Exponential Organizations and Arthur Koestler's The Act of Creation. Along the way they explore servant leadership, Price's Law, Linux and open source futures, religion as an operating system, and the cyclical nature of civilizations. You can learn more about Michael Jagdeo or reach out to him directly through Twitter or LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart Alsop introduces Michael Jagdeo, who shares his path from headhunting actuaries and IT talent into launching startups with Exponent Labs and The Syndicate.00:10 They connect recruiting to financial history, discussing actuaries, The Ascent of Money, and William Bagehot's The Money Market on the London money market and railways.00:15 The Rothschilds, institutional knowledge, and Corn Laws lead into questions about New York as a financial center and the quiet launch of the Texas Stock Exchange by Citadel and BlackRock.00:20 Capital power, George Soros vs. the Bank of England, chaos, paper clips, and Orwell's oligarchical collectivism frame industry consolidation, syndicates, and stone soup.00:25 They debate imperial conquest, bourgeoisie leisure, the decline of the middle class, AI as chaos agent, digital twins, Sarah Connor, Godzilla, and nuclear metaphors.00:30 Conversation turns to Bitcoin, “quantitative re-centralization,” Jack Bogle, index funds, Robinhood micro bailouts, and AI as both entropy and negative entropy.00:35 Jagdeo discusses Jim Keller, Tenstorrent, RISC-V, Nvidia CUDA, exponential organizations, Price's Law, bureaucracy, and servant leadership with the parable of stone soup.00:40 Recruiting as symbiosis, biophilia, trust, Judas, Wilhelm Reich, AI tools, Octalysis gamification, Jordan vs. triangle offense, and the role of laughter in persuasion emerge.00:45 They explore religion as operating systems, Greek gods, Comte's stages, Nietzsche, Jung, nostalgia, scientism, and Jordan Peterson's revival of tradition.00:50 The episode closes with Linux debates, Ubuntu, Framer laptops, PewDiePie, and Jagdeo's nod to Liminal Snake on epistemic centers and turning curses into blessings.Key InsightsOne of the central insights of the conversation is how financial history repeats through cycles of consolidation and power shifts. Michael Jagdeo draws on William Bagehot's The Money Market to explain how London became the hub of European finance, much like New York later did, and how the Texas Stock Exchange signals a possible southern resurgence of financial influence in America. The pattern of wealth moving with institutional shifts underscores how markets, capital, and politics remain intertwined.Jagdeo and Alsop emphasize that industries naturally oligarchize. Borrowing from Orwell's “oligarchical collectivism,” Jagdeo notes that whether in diamonds, food, or finance, consolidation emerges as economies of scale take over. This breeds syndicates and monopolies, often interpreted as conspiracies but really the predictable outcome of industrial maturation.Another powerful theme is the stone soup model of collaboration. Jagdeo applies this parable to recruiting, showing that no single individual can achieve large goals alone. By framing opportunities as shared ventures where each person adds their own ingredient, leaders can attract top talent while fostering genuine symbiosis.Technology, and particularly AI, is cast as both chaos agent and amplifier of human potential. The conversation likens AI to nuclear power—capable of great destruction or progress. From digital twins to Sarah Connor metaphors, they argue AI represents not just artificial intelligence but artificial knowledge and action, pushing humans to adapt quickly to its disruptive presence.The discussion of Bitcoin and digital currencies reframes decentralization as potentially another trap. Jagdeo provocatively calls Bitcoin “quantitative re-centralization,” suggesting that far from liberating individuals, digital currencies may accelerate neo-feudalism by creating new oligarchies and consolidating financial control in unexpected ways.Exponential organizations and the leverage of small teams emerge as another key point. Citing Price's Law, Jagdeo explains how fewer than a dozen highly capable individuals can now achieve billion-dollar valuations thanks to open source hardware, AI, and network effects. This trend redefines scale, making nimble collectives more powerful than bureaucratic giants.Finally, the episode highlights the cyclical nature of civilizations and belief systems. From Rome vs. Carthage to Greek gods shifting with societal needs, to Nietzsche's “God is dead” and Jung's view of recurring deaths of divinity, Jagdeo argues that religion, ideology, and operating systems reflect underlying incentives. Western nostalgia for past structures, whether political or religious, risks idolatry, while the real path forward may lie in new blends of individualism, collectivism, and adaptive tools like Linux and AI.

In 1932, along with a group of African American activists and writers including novelist Dorothy West, Langston Hughes journeyed to the Soviet Union. Veering off from the “official” trip, Hughes met Arthur Koestler before venturing on to an extended journey through the newly formed republics of Central Asia. While Hughes' readers may be familiar with his A Negro Looks at Soviet Central Asia, this chapbook makes available previously unpublished material drawn from Hughes' notebooks, photographs, and collaborative translation projects with Uzbek poets. Just as his own work is being translated into Uzbek, Hughes—ever the participant—collaborates with his peer poets in the region to produce texts published in this collection for the first time.  Cholpon Ramizova is a London-based creator and researcher.

¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe? - Sergio De Miguel¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe? Esta pregunta parte de un atrevido manifiesto de nuestro invitado a este episodio, el coach español Sergio de Miguel ¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe? (Una historia real parece contradecirlo)Un joven emprendedor llamado Tony Hsieh construyó la "empresa más feliz del mundo" a partir de una pregunta:“¿Qué pasaría si las ganancias y la felicidad del negocio fueron impulsadas por una reinvención radical del lugar de trabajo? Sin jefes, sin títulos, solo creatividad, igualdad y pura alegría.”¿Era una utopía? Tal vez. Pero esa fue la idea de Tony Hsieh, un visionario que creo una tienda minorista de zaptos en línea: Zappos.  Hsieh nació en Illinois, EE.UU., en 1973, en una familia de inmigrantes taiwaneses. Luego de graduarse en Harvard en 1995, Hsieh cofundó una empresa de software llamada LinkExchange. En menos de dos años, la vendió a Microsoft por US$265 millones. A los 24 años, Hsieh había alcanzado su sueño de la infancia. Pero no había vendido la empresa solo por el dinero. Esto dijo en su momento "Lo que mucha gente no sabe es la verdadera razón por la que vendimos la empresa. La verdadera razón era simplemente que ya no era un lugar divertido para trabajar". A medida que la compañía creció, Hsieh se topó con un problema: ya no tenía más amigos para contratar. Así que publicó anuncios y empleó gente con la experiencia y habilidades adecuadas.Pero un tiempo después, Hsieh vio que esta decisión había sido un grave error. “Cuando traes gente nueva a tu empresa, tienes que introducir jerarquías. Los líderes tienen que imponer sus ideas para asegurarse de que todos estén alineados.”A Hsieh no le gustaba decirle a la gente qué hacer. Le gustaba la idea de que la gente actuara según sus propias creencias, de que se unieran en torno a una visión común.Cuando el empresario se desencantó de su primer emprendimiento, aprendió que solo necesitaba dinero para vivir. Pero También quería ser feliz. Así que se imaginó la empresa más feliz del mundo.¿La no presencia de jefes genera felicidad?- Entonces usó el dinero de la venta de LinkExchange para financiar su siguiente proyecto: Zappos. Hsieh planeaba hacer con los zapatos lo que Amazon estaba haciendo con los libros.Una exempleada de Zappos recuerda:  “me preguntaba cómo era posible que alguien pudiera terminar sus tareas. Era una explosión de brillantina, unicornios, había desfiles constantemente, gente lanzándote caramelos. Si no estabas bailando y cantando, había una especie de buffet para comer todo lo que pudieras".Más allá de la felicidad en sí misma, había una estrategia brillante en acción: un empleado feliz realmente cumple su trabajo. Hsieh solía decir: "Cuando la gente puede ser ella misma, ahí es cuando las verdaderas amistades se forman, no solo las relaciones de colegas. Y es cuando salen las ideas creativas y los empleados son más productivos".La estrategia fue tremendamente exitosa. En ocho años, las ventas de Zappos superaron los US$1.000 millones.  Zappos creó tanto revuelo, que en 2009, Amazon la compró por US$1.200 millones  con la garantía de que el gigante tecnológico no tocaría la cultura de la empresa.Pero mientras la compañía crecía, luchaba con el problema interno de la jerarquía. ¿Cómo los grupos grandes podían hacer las cosas sin jefes dirigiéndolos? Y una vez que empezaras a darles poder a esos jefes, ¿qué pasaría con la felicidad y la creatividad de aquellos obligados a seguir órdenes?Así como muchos científicos sociales, Hsieh veía una relación inversamente proporcional entre jerarquía y felicidad, entre poder desigual y prosperidad. Es por esto que Hsieh intentó llevar a cabo una revolución, que esperaba desafiara las bases de la filosofía administrativa y tal vez la manera en la que los humanos trabajaban juntos.Hsieh pensó que una forma de salvar la felicidad era estrangular las jerarquías. Entonces llegó con un término: Holocracia. Este fue acuñado por Arthur Koestler, autor de "El espíritu en la máquina", y se convirtió en una filosofía administrativa radical gracias al empresario estadounidense Brian Robertson. Es una manera profundamente descentralizada de administrar una compañía. No hay jefes y ni siquiera nombres de cargos. En su lugar, hay círculos, equipos que se autoadministran que desarrollan proyectos. Los empleados eligen en qué círculos trabajar y suelen trabajar en varios.La holocracia es radical, utópica y, hasta 2014, no había sido probada en una compañía del tamaño de Zappos. Pero según Hsieh, era la ruta para la utopía organizacional.¿Funcionó esa utopía de trabajar sin jefes?La holocracia resultó confusa para algunos y también resultó difícil para definir el salario de la gente. Además, en un sistema sin jerarquías, nadie sabía muy bien quién estaba haciendo qué cosa. En 2015, la compañía más feliz del mundo había perdido casi un tercio de su fuerza laboral en un solo año. Muchos se fueron por esa cultura de no tener jefes.Al inicio, pareció ser un éxito. Pero el tiempo mostró que a la gente sí le gustaban las jerarquías. En compañías como Zappos, la ausencia de reglas formales puede esconder una estructura de poder dañina. No hay controles y balances. Barones poderosos pueden buscar satisfacer sus caprichos, con pocos límites. La ironía fue que al buscar la igualdad perfecta, sin querer creó lo opuesto. En 2018, Zappos comenzó a dejar atrás la holocracia silenciosamente. En 2020, un Hsieh cada vez más errático se separó de la compañía. Su sueño había muerto.Al irse de su Zappos, la compañía que fundó, Hsieh empezó a gastar su fortuna en un sistema personal de "holocracia". Invitaba a gente que le caía bien —artistas, escritores o empresarios— y les ofrecía el doble del sueldo más alto que alguna vez hubieran recibido para que vivieran con él en su nuevo rancho en Park City, estado de Utah, Estados Unidos.Además, su consumo de drogas se estaba descontrolando y ninguna de las personas que lo rodeaban y que le decían "sí" a todo estaban preparadas para avisarle. Era el emperador al que sus súbditos no podían decirle que estaba desnudo. En noviembre de 2020, Hsieh murió por inhalación de humo, luego de que se desatara un incendio en un cobertizo de su casa. La puerta estaba cerrada por dentro, aunque no se sabe si intencionalmente o por accidente.Nuestro invitado Sergio de Miguel nos cuenta ¿Podría una empresa funcionar sin jefe?A pesar de esta historia fallida sin jefes, nuestro invitado a este episodio Sergio de Miguel asegura que eventualmente, una empresa podría funcionar sin jefe.Sergio de Miguel es Coach ejecutivo, facilitador de equipos y conferenciante.

On this week's Book Club podcast I'm joined by Ariane Bankes, whose mother Celia was one of the great beauties of the early twentieth century. Ariane's new book The Quality of Love: Twin Sisters at the Heart of the Century tells the story of the defiantly bohemian lives of Celia and her twin sister Mamaine, whose love affairs and friendships with Arthur Koestler, George Orwell, Albert Camus, Edmund Wilson and Freddie Ayer put them at the centre of the political and intellectual ferment of their age.

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/189-los-hilos-rojos-del-destino-i-sincronicidad-y-serendipia/)En 1914 una madre alemana fotografió a su bebé y llevó la placa a revelar a una tienda de Estrasburgo pocos días antes de que estallara la Primera Guerra Mundial. Por esa desagradable manía que tienen las guerras de interrumpir la vida de las personas, le fue imposible recoger la fotografía.Dos años después esa misma mujer compró otra placa en Munich para fotografiar a su otra hija, recién nacida. Esta sí pudo revelarla y al hacerlo se encontró una sorpresa: había una doble exposición. Es decir, aquella placa ya se había usado antes, por lo que había dos fotografías superpuestas. Una, la de su hija recién nacida. Y la otra, aquella foto que ella misma tomó dos años antes a su bebé. Por alguna casualidad cósmica, esa placa nunca llegó a revelarse, viajó los 165 kilómetros que separaban Estrasburgo de Munich y acabó siendo vendida, como si fuera nueva, a la misma mujer. Ésta y otras historias de casualidades increíbles fueron recopiladas por el escritor Wilhelm von Scholz en un libro cuyo título en alemán bien podría provocarme un esguince de lengua así que lo diré en castellano: «Casualidad y destino. Miradas tras el telón de la vida»Según tengo entendido, porque te confesaré que no lo he leído, en él dice algo así como que esas casualidades hacen que la vida parezca «El sueño de una conciencia mayor y más completa, que es incognoscible». Cómo odio esa palabra y la de veces que ha salido esta temporada.Carl Jung, uno de los pioneros de la psicología, en general, y del psicoanálisis en particular —y dejaremos que cada cual considere si eso es bueno o malo— sentía fascinación por esas casualidades tan extraordinarias que parece imposible que sean simples coincidencias. Y de hecho las estudió a fondo, mientras profundizaba en su idea del inconsciente colectivo, algo así como las estructuras inconscientes que compartimos todos. Según él, nuestro inconsciente colectivo está poblado de instintos y arquetipos, de ideas universales que llevamos preinstaladas. Por ejemplo, las figuras paterna y materna, con un montón de atributos asociados. Bueno, pues mientras pensaba en estas cosas, Jung dijo haberse encontrado con sorprendentes conexiones que la racionalidad científica no era capaz de explicar. En sus propias palabras: «Lo que encontré fueron “coincidencias” que estaban conectadas de manera tan significativa que su concurrencia “casual” representaría tal grado de improbabilidad que tendría que expresarse (estadísticamente) mediante una cifra astronómica» - JungOlé. Y se quedó tan ancho.Jung hizo buenas migas con Wolfgang Pauli, un físico brillante, que desde muy joven llamó la atención de Einstein y que acabaría recibiendo el Premio Nobel en 1945 y siendo considerado uno de los padres de la mecánica cuántica. Aquella amistad fue cuanto menos peculiar. Pauli llegó a Jung como paciente, en un momento especialmente turbulento de su vida. Su madre se había suicidado, tras descubrir que su padre le había sido infiel. Y al poco tiempo, éste se casó  con una mujer mucho más joven, de la edad del propio Pauli, que no llegaba aún a los 30. En paralelo, el matrimonio de Pauli con una cabaretera a la que había propuesto casarse al poco de conocerse, y mientras ella salía con un químico, tampoco iba muy bien. Más que nada, porque, pese a aceptar, ella siguió mucho más interesada en el químico que en él. No duraron ni un año casados y Pauli acabó dándose al alcohol y al tabaco compulsivamente. Hasta que su padre le convenció de que contactara con Jung. Durante años, primero con otra terapeuta y después con el propio Jung, Pauli registró sus sueños, algo que estaba muy de moda. Al parecer, tenía una enorme capacidad para recordarlos y llegó a escribir más de 1.000. Pauli tenía todo tipo de sueños a los que trataba de dar significado con la ayuda de Jung, mientras que éste iba poco a poco derivando hacia ideas cada vez más esotéricas apoyándose sobre sus interpretaciones de las teorías físicas del propio Pauli.Por ejemplo, en una ocasión, Pauli escribió a Jung contándole un sueño que había tenido sobre un congreso de física con muchos participantes. El sueño estaba repleto de imágenes que simbolizaban cómo la polarización separa las cargas positivas y negativas generando dos opuestos, como en los dipolos eléctricos. Jung respondió que aquel simbolismo representaba «la relación complementario de un sistema autorregulado de un hombre y una mujer». Claro que sí. Otro de los sueños de Pauli incluía un símbolo ancestral llamado Uróboros: una serpiente o un dragón que se muerde su propia cola formando un círculo. Es un símbolo que ha aparecido en multitud de culturas a lo largo de los siglos y que, generalmente se ha asociado a una especie de ciclo eterno de las cosas y también al esfuerzo o las luchas eternas e inútiles por intentar evitar aquello que se repite una y otra vez. Es un símbolo muy asociado a la alquimia, también, donde representa la unidad de todas las cosas, materiales y espirituales, que nunca desaparecen, sino que cambian en un ciclo eterno de destrucción y nueva creación. Todo muy normal, como ves. El caso es que Pauli permitió a Jung que usara estos y muchos otros de sus sueños en sus conferencias y en un libro con un título prometedor: psicología y alquimia. Hoy me da que no voy a tener suficientes olés para decir. Intercambiaron cartas durante veintiséis años en las que ambos demostraron estar interesados en la interacción entre la mente y la materia. Pensaban que lo físico y lo psíquico eran aspectos complementarios de una única entidad, así que la física y la psicología podían ser formas complementarias para entender la realidad. Y aunque parece que se fueron distanciando a medida que Jung se adentraba en terrenos cada vez menos científicos, de su colaboración surgió una idea que obsesionaba a ambos: la sincronicidad. Decía el propio Jung que se le ocurrió este concepto un día que estaba en terapia con una paciente. Justo cuando ella le contaba un sueño en el que alguien le regalaba una joya dorada con forma de escarabajo, Jung oyó un golpe en el cristal y al asomarse vio que había sido un escarabajo de color entre verdoso y dorado. Así nació la idea de la sincronicidad, que sería la existencia de relaciones no causales entre acontecimientos simultáneos. Es decir, coincidencias increíbles conectadas entre sí de alguna manera que se nos escapa. Venga, uno más: Olé. ¿Te gusta kaizen?

The light of reason and the capacities for critical thought are rapidly being snuffed out by widespread emotional immaturity.  The erosion of American culture has largely been the result of a decades' long merger of adolescent attitudes and the corporate commodification of human life and values. Mass culture, Hannah Arendt observed, was not culture but personal entertainment, or better stated self-aggrandizement. Our civilizational collapse into intellectual darkness and the catastrophic failure in democracy were presciently predicted by many of our wisest cultural critics such as Lewis Lapham, Morris Berman, and Robert Kaplan two decades ago.  Likewise, earlier works of science fiction such as Fahrenheit 451, The Perfect Day and The Canticle for Leibowitz describe not only the dystopian triumph of a puerile citizenry blindly subservient to the tricks and treats disbursed by an elite corporate and political class, but also the consequences of the intentional disorientation of a distracted human mind. Aldous Huxley perfectly predicted our times in Brave New World. Hungarian-born journalist and author Arthur Koestler (d. 1983) envisioned a future America being populated with human automatons in a replay of the fall of the Roman Empire; at such time the US will have turned into a “soulless, politically corrupt, everybody-for-himself civilization.” Although these modern critics and fiction authors may not have foreseen the exact structures and popular social values society has now transitioned into, such as the worst expressions of critical race theory's inverted racism, institutionalized woke culture, endemic mental disorders, and growing gender dysphoria, they nevertheless accurately observed the trends that have led America to this impasse of moral anarchy.  Critical race theory and the woke movement will never democratize society; rather it will further erode universal ethical norms to a cacophony of subjective emotions and aberrant personal beliefs felt at any given moment. These mythologies about race and gender, which are mistaken for hard truths, now permeate our elementary schools and universities, which are being fashioned into what Morris Berman calls “a gigantic dolt-manufacturing machine.” And the global elite, political legislators and pseudo-intellectuals dominating our educational institutions, willingly or not, declare this feat of social deterioration as a political victory. At the core of our society's collective daze in the marketplace of frivolous pursuits resides a deep existential emptiness. In particular this vacuity of a life enriched by meaning and purpose is being acted out by the younger generations.  In 2022, the national suicide rate again rose to 14.3 suicides per 100,000; two years earlier 5.2 million either planned or attempted to take their lives. The prevalence of gender dysphoria continues to rise significantly and starts at younger ages. Although the percentage of people either professionally or self diagnosed, with gender dysphoria remains very small, it has nevertheless been raised to a level of national priority at the expense of other mentally and physically handicapped persons that make up 27 percent of the population.  This brief reference above noting the consequences of the dark abyss at the center of American culture only highlights a small sliver of the consequences of the intellectual ignorance underlying critical race theory and woke culture. During the past five years, there has been an aggressive encroachment of woke and postmodern race ideologies into every aspect of society: local school boards, college campuses, corporations' human resources, and the halls of federal and state legislative bodies. The leaders of this trend are by no means our culture's best and brightest; rather those are the first to find themselves cancelled or handed their termination papers. Rather it is the activists who shout the loudest who manage to be heard. Those of us who critically recognize social dynamics observe this hysterical phenomenon with credulous amusement. When Tucker Carlson reports about a woman who wouldn't change a baby's diaper unless she received the infant's permission, the sane among us step back and wonder what the hell is going on. Self-righteous university students demand professors abide by their demands and teach only what they want. Those teachers who stand up for educational integrity and the teaching profession's tradition, are ostracized. Students petition college administrators to have dissenting un-woke professors fired.  What is especially notable is how rapidly this raging woke and inverse racist movement has become incorporated into our public and private institutions.  This includes the adolescent tantrums by political parties to censor their opponents, pass laws banning certain kinds of free speech and the gradual erasure of social norms of binding relationships that fueled the founding of the nation. None of this could have happened if the majority of Americans were not asleep. In the twenty-first century we can agree that equality is crucial for harmonizing the historical aberrations such as slavery and the denigration of women and gays that have haunted us through the generations. Everyone should be able to have the opportunity to succeed in reaching their goals. However, despite the new woke and critical race movements' condemnation of meritocracy, its followers demand the same out come.  Of course, once Rome passed a certain threshold after several centuries of decline, its final collapse accelerated quickly.  This is the nature of entropy. Aside from the enormous disparity in wealth between Rome's social classes, a perpetual war economy, widespread political corruption and the decline in literacy, Roman society was also plagued by a mental virus of magical thinking and superstition. In our own time, the level of American illiteracy is astounding. The average American likewise lives in a garbage heap of superstitious hopes for a utopian carnival where a superficial free thought reigns; however, at the same time a future utopia requires a new vocabulary and the banning of words the new woke order finds personally offensive. Following the warnings of social psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s, the American populace is being “deindividuated.” Deindividuation is a state whereby individuals lose their sense of self-awareness and their realistic and healthy personal identity in order to become part of a crowd that opposes other crowds. Normal moral restraints are cast aside and replaced by impulsive and deviant behavior. The entire woke narrative now giving way to antisocial behavior is a notable consequence of the deindividuation being approved by government and private industry. Deindividuation reinforces illiteracy and blatant stupidity. For example, when Democrats brought Aimee Arrambide, an executive for an abortion rights organization, before the House Judiciary Committee to give testimony, she claimed men could get pregnant and have abortions. Again we are reminded of Jefferson's words “Illiteracy is the enemy of progress and the ally of tyranny.” Dr. Henry Nasrallah, editor in chief of the journal Current Psychiatry, remarks that we are in a historical moment when “the passage of time ruthlessly increases the entropy of everything in life.”  We not only witness entropy in civilizations and societies, but also in our possessions, dwellings, businesses, and our physical body and mental faculties. Therefore, new energy must be invested in order to slow or reverse entropic processes. Yet without the restraints of a new constructive and restorative vision, entropy runs amok. During the dramatic public shock triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns, social distancing, business and school closures, and financial loss, there was a parade of incessant media porn reminded us repeatedly that death could knock on our door at any moment. The federal government's and medical establishment's gross negligence on multiple fronts during the pandemic gave rise to a rapid degeneration of America's social order. Distress from the loss of normalcy accelerated the nation's collective psychological entropy; this in turn contributed to resurrected racial tensions, hateful biases, toxic relationships, drug addiction and suicide, permissible crime, homelessness, rampant disinformation across mainstream media, the implosion of social norms, a psychological disoriented citizenry and a ruthless cancel culture that is utterly intolerant of others' beliefs. Remarkably, the mobs in the street are little more than bland reflections, a Jungian shadow, of the instability and disorder created by the agents of chaos and entropy who sit in the seats of power. “Just as the individual has a shadow,” wrote Jung, “so does society at large. And just as the individual must come to terms with his shadow so too must society if it is to be healthy and whole.” The rising psychological deindividuation and existential angst infecting our youth over their self-identity, gender, moral alienation and a lack of existential purpose in our technological driven materialistic society has reduced our youth to sentient robots screaming for self-expression.  This is a cause for today's woke groupthink contributing to social and political unrest with its destructive outcomes. Or as Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell warned, the “collective passions” have a penchant to inflame “hatred and rivalry directed towards other groups.” Despite the original values of American liberalism and non-dogmatic healthy skeptical inquiry, today's Left has perverted its own legacy.  The woke have become every bit as intolerant and wrong-headed as the most zealous fundamentalist on the Right. This “exclusivist humanism,” as the prominent cultural philosopher Charles Taylor has termed it, is giving rise to a faux universalism. The new woke order's myopic obeisance increasingly relies on the secular power structure of the ruling elite that in turn legislates on its behalf to marginalize and imprison alternative belief systems that do not embrace a secular universalism. Hence the new radical Left no longer tolerates the diversity of traditional beliefs and worldviews. The entropic descent into irrational hostility, collective emotional hysteria, and what the Russian-American sociologist Pritrim Sorokin called  “cultural schizophrenia,” clings desperately to a grossly materialistic society and a fragile false sense of individuality, an empty void, which is completely divorced from any deeper purpose in life. America is a “society in chains,” an expression stated by Nelson Mandela to describe a citizenry psychologically crippled for making informed decisions and incapable of participating thoughtfully in a democratic process. Consequently, a democratic renaissance, a new energy to reverse entropy, can only proceed following a revitalization of moral and spiritual values that have universal appeal, which respects pluralist ideals both within and beyond national borders. To be worthy of participating in any viable possibility for a democracy in the 21st century, it is necessary to return to becoming John Adams' “moral people.”
