One of the biggest issues with mainstream feminist writing has been the way the idea of what constitutes a feminist issue is framed. We rarely talk about basic needs as a feminist issue. Food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Instead of a framework that focuses on helping women get basic needs met, all too often the focus is not on survival but on increasing privilege. For a movement that is meant to represent all women, it often centers on those who already have most of their needs met.

And the great owners, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed. The great owners ignored the three cries of history. The land fell into fewer hands, the number of the dispossessed increased, and every effort of the great owners was directed at repression. The money was spent for arms, for gas to protect the great holdings, and spies were sent to catch the murmuring of revolt so that it might be stamped out. The changing economy was ignored, plans for the change ignored; and only means to destroy revolt were considered, while the causes of revolt went on.

He seemed a part of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of it's frozen woe, with all that was warm and sentient in him fast bound below the surface; but there was nothing nothing unfriendly in his silence. I simply felt that he lived in a depth of moral isolation too remote for casual access, and I had the sense that his loneliness was not merely the result of his personal plight, tragic as I guessed that to be, but had in it, as Harmon Gow had hinted, the profound accumulated cold of many Starkfield winters.

If slavery persists as an issue in the political life of black America, it is not because of an antiquarian obsession with bygone days or the burden of a too-long memory, but because black lives are still imperiled and devalued by a racial calculus and a political arithmetic that were entrenched centuries ago. This is the afterlife of slavery--skewed life chances, limited access to health and education, premature death, incarceration, and impoverishment.

To make biological survival possible, Mind at Large has to be funnelled through the reducing valve of the brain and nervous system. What comes out at the other end is a measly trickle of the kind of consciousness which will help us to stay alive on the surface of this particular planet. To formulate and express the contents of this reduced awareness, man has invented and endlessly elaborated those symbol-systems and implicit philosophies which we call languages.

Exposition: the workings of the actual past + the virtual past may be illustrated by an event well known to collective history, such as the sinking of the Titanic. The disaster as it actually occurred descends into obscurity as its eyewitnesses die off, documents perish + the wreck of the ship dissolves in its Atlantic grave. Yet a virtual sinking of the Titanic, created from reworked memories, papers, hearsay, fiction--in short, belief--grows ever "truer." The actual past is brittle, ever-dimming + ever more problematic to access + reconstruct: in contrast, the virtual past is malleable, ever-brightening + ever more difficult to circumvent/expose as fraudulent.
The present presses the virtual past into its own service, to lend credence to its mythologies + legitimacy to the imposition of will. Power seeks + is the right to "landscape" the virtual past. (He who pays the historian calls the tune.)
Symmetry demands an actual + virtual future too. We imagine how next week, next year, or 2225 will shape up--a virtual future, constructed by wishes, prophecies + daydreams. This virtual future may influence the actual future, as in a self-fulfilling prophecy, but the actual future will eclipse our virtual one as surely as tomorrow eclipses today. Like Utopia, the actual future + the actual past exist only in the hazy distance, where they are no good to anyone.
Q: Is there a meaningful distinction between one simulacrum of smoke, mirrors + shadows--the actual past--from another such simulacrum--the actual future?
One model of time: an infinite matryoshka doll of painted moments, each "shell" (the present) encased inside a nest of "shells" (previous presents) I call the actual past but which we perceive as the virtual past. The doll of "now"likewise encases a nest of presents yet to be, which I call the actual future but which we perceive as the virtual future.

So whenever that brittle voice of dissatisfaction emerges within me, I can say "Ah, my ego! There you are, old friend!" It's the same thing when I'm being criticized and I notice myself reaching with outrage, heartache, or defensiveness. It's just my ego, flaring up and testing its power. In such circumstances, I have learned to watch my heated emotions carefully, but I try not to take them too seriously, because I know that it's merely my ego that has been wounded--never my soul It is merely my ego that wants revenge, or to win the biggest prize. It is merely my ego that wants to start a Twitter war against a hater, or to sulk at an insult or to quit in righteous indignation because I didn't get the outcome I wanted.
"At such times, I can always steady my life one more by returning to my soul. I ask it, "And what is it that you want, dear one?"
"The answer is always the same: "More wonder, please."
"As long as I'm still moving in that direction---toward wonder--then I know I will always be fine in my soul, which is where it counts. And since creativity is still the most effective way for me to access wonder, I choose it.

Every previous revolutionary movement in human history has made the same basic mistake. They’ve all seen power as a static apparatus, as a structure. And it’s not. It’s a dynamic, a flow system with two possible tendencies. Power either accumulates, or it diffuses through the system. In most societies, it’s in accumulative mode, and most revolutionary movements are only really interested in reconstituting the accumulation in a new location. A genuine revolution has to reverse the flow. And no one ever does that, because they’re all too fucking scared of losing their conning tower moment in the historical process. If you tear down one agglutinative power dynamic and put another one in its place, you’ve changed nothing. You’re not going to solve any of that society’s problems, they’ll just reemerge at a new angle. You’ve got to set up the nanotech that will deal with the problems on its own. You’ve got to build the structures that allow for diffusion of power, not re-grouping.

Far too many doctors-many of them excellent physicians-commit suicide each year; one recent study concluded that, until quite recently, the United States lost annually the equivalent of a medium-sized medical school class from suicide alone. Most physician suicides are due to depression or manic-depressive illness, both of which are eminently treatable. Physicians, unfortunately, not only suffer from a higher rate of mood disorders than the general population, they also have a greater access to very effective means of suicide.

At the same time, in my readings, I discovered some evidence that traditional talk therapy might not actually be particularly effective for C-PTSD. In The Body Keeps the Score, van der Kolk writes about how talk therapy can be useless for those whom “traumatic events are almost impossible to put into words.” Some people are too dissociated and distanced from these traumatic experiences for talk therapy to work well. They might not be able to access their feelings, let alone convey them. For others, they’re in such an activated state that they have a hard time reaching into difficult memories, and the very act of recalling them could be retraumatizing. One study showed that about 10 percent of people might experience worsening symptoms after being forced to talk about their trauma.

Rousseau already observed that this form of government is more accurately an ‘elective aristocracy’ because in practice the people are not in power at all. Instead we’re allowed to decide who holds power over us. It’s also important to realise this model was originally designed to exclude society’s rank and file. Take the American Constitution: historians agree it ‘was intrinsically an aristocratic document designed to check the democratic tendencies of the period’. It was never the American Founding Fathers’ intention for the general populace to play an active role in politics. Even now, though any citizen can run for public office, it’s tough to win an election without access to an aristocratic network of donors and lobbyists. It’s not surprising that American ‘democracy’ exhibits dynastic tendencies—think of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Bushes.
Time and again we hope for better leaders, but all too often those hopes are dashed. The reason, says Professor Keltner, is that power causes people to lose the kindness and modesty that got them elected, or they never possessed those sterling qualities in the first place. In a hierarchically organised society, the Machiavellis are one step ahead. They have the ultimate secret weapon to defeat their competition.

Motherhood seems to be a no-win battle: however you decide to do (or not do) it, someone’s going to be criticizing you. You went to too great lengths trying to conceive.

My Sadness is Deeper than Yours
My sadness is deeper than yours. My interior life is richer than yours. I am more interesting than you. I don’t care about anybody else’s problems. They are not as serious as mine. Nobody knows the weight I carry, the trouble I’ve seen. There are worlds in my head that nobody has access to: fortunately for them, fortunately for me. I have seen things that you will never see, and I have feelings that you are incapable of feeling, that you would never allow yourself to feel, because you lack the capacity and the curiosity. Once you felt the hint of such a feeling, you would stamp it out. I am a martyr to futility and I don’t expect to be shut down by a pretender. Mothballs are an aphrodisiac to me, beauty depresses me. You could never hope to fathom the depth of my feelings, deeper than death. I look down upon you all from my lofty height of lowliness. The fullness of your satisfaction lacks the cadaverous purity of my pain. Don’t talk to me about failure. You don’t know the meaning of the word. When it comes to failure, you’re strictly an amateur. Bush league stuff. I’m ten times the failure you’ll ever be. I have more to complain about than you, and regrets: more than a few, too many to mention. I am a fully-qualified failure, I have proven it over and over again. My credentials are impeccable, my resume flawless. I have worked hard to put myself in a position of unassailable wretchedness, and I demand to be respected for it. I expect to be rewarded for a struggle that produced nothing.

Here are a few key guidelines to consider: Spend less than you earn—invest the surplus—avoid debt. Do simply this and you’ll wind up rich. Not just in money. Carrying debt is as appealing as being covered with leeches and has much the same effect. Take out your sharpest knife and start scraping the little bloodsuckers off. If your lifestyle matches—or god forbid exceeds—your income, you are no more than a gilded slave. Avoid fiscally irresponsible people. Never marry one or otherwise give him or her access to your money. Avoid investment advisors. Too many have only their own interests at heart. By the time you know enough to pick a good one, you know enough to handle your finances yourself. It’s your money and no one will care for it better than you. You own the things you own and they in turn own you. Money can buy many things, but nothing more valuable than your freedom. Life choices are not always about the money, but you should always be clear about the financial impact of the choices you make.

Too often, poverty and deprivation get covered as events. That is, when some disaster strikes, when people die. Yet, poverty is about much more than starvation deaths or near famine conditions. It is the sum total of a multiplicity of factors. The weightage of some of these varies from region to region, society to society, culture to culture. But at the core is a fairly compact number of factors. They include not just income and calorie intake. Land, health, education, literacy, infant mortality rates and life expectancy are also some of them. Debt, assets, irrigation, drinking water, sanitation and jobs count too. You can have the mandatory 2,400 or 2,100 calories a day and yet be very poor. India’s problems differ from those of a Somalia or Ethiopia in crisis. Hunger—again just one aspect of poverty—is far more complex here. It is more low level, less visible and does not make for the dramatic television footage that a Somalia and Ethiopia do. That makes covering the process more challenging—and more important. Many who do not starve receive very inadequate nutrition. Children getting less food than they need can look quite normal. Yet poor nutrition can impair both mental and physical growth and they can suffer its debilitating impact all their lives. A person lacking minimal access to health at critical moments can face destruction almost as surely as one in hunger.

If someone were to autopsy her heart, they'd find traces of life, evidence of eons gone by. Times when she'd been able to feel and the feelings left imprints. Maybe her heart was wearing a cast. Maybe it wasn't sclerosed at all but atrophied, shrunken, and the cast enclosing it was scribbled over with stories written in a dead language. Was there any softness left in there? Any spot that was still unfired, unformed, unglazed? Was there access? Entry? A place still open to impression? No. Her heart was finished. It bore, perhaps, records of life, but it wasn't alive. Too late for decoration. Too late for effects. Further handling could only result in cracks and fractures. People could cut themselves on the edges of her heart, she was sure of it.

You grant companies access to your attention so that they can alter your choices in exchange for entertainment. You identify with groups and grant them the ability to choose for you which problems you will be most concerned about. You listen to a friend when they care about something, and then you care about it too. One of the most powerful traits of your system is how ardently you believe in your individuality while simultaneously operating almost entirely as a collective.

He can hum the music in his old man's quivering voice, but he prefers it in his head, where it lives on in violins and reedy winds. If he imagines it in rehearsal he can remember every step of his three-minute solo as if he had danced it only yesterday, but he knows, too, that one time, onstage in Berlin, he had not danced it as he had learned it; this much he knows but cannot recreate, could no recreate it even a moment after he had finished dancing it. While dancing he had felt blind to the stage and audience, deaf to the music. He had let his body do what it needed to do, free to expand and contract in space, to soar and spin. So, accordingly, when he tries to remember the way he danced it on stage, he cannot hear the music or feel his feet or get a sense of the audience. He is embryonic, momentarily cut off from the world around him. The three most important minutes of his life, the ones that determined his fate and future, are the three to which he cannot gain access, ever.

He seemed a part of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of its frozen woe, with all that was warm and sentient in him fast bound below the surface; but there was nothing unfriendly in his silence. I simply felt that he lived in a depth of moral isolation too remote for casual access, and I had the sense that his loneliness was not merely the result of his personal plight, tragic as I guessed that to be, but had in it, as Harmon Gow had hinted, the profound accumulated cold of many Starkfield winters.

Do you know what guerrillas often say? They claim that their rebellions are invulnerable to economic warfare because they have no economy, that they are parasitic on those they would overthrow. The fools merely fail to access the coin in which they must inevitably pay. The pattern is inexorable in its degenerative failures. You see it repeated in the systems of slavery, of welfare states, of caste-ridden religions, of socializing bureaucracies -- in any system in which creates and maintains dependencies. Too long a parasite and you cannot exist without a host.

she has an appointment in fifteen days for another set of tests. She doesn't eat for several hours before leaving the house. Then they draw her blood again. Blood, the snitch everyone hates. It keeps you alive on one condition: transparency. It creeps around the body like a shrewd domestic who has access to every room and knows everything there is to know about you. And who talks under pressure. The body is too basic, too weak; it can't be trusted. Only the mind can console us for its disloyalty; the only flag it flies is that of freedom, made of the bones of truth and the bones of lies - a cross; white against black. Blood respects nothing.

Look everywhere. There are miracles and curiosities to fascinate and intrigue for many lifetimes:
the intricacies of nature and everything in the world and universe around us from the miniscule to the infinite; physical, chemical and biological functionality; consciousness, intelligence and the ability to learn; evolution, and the imperative for life; beauty and other abstract interpretations; language and other forms of communication; how we make our way here and develop social patterns of culture and meaningfulness;
how we organise ourselves and others; moral imperatives; the practicalities of survival and all the embellishments we pile on top; thought, beliefs, logic, intuition, ideas; inventing, creating, information, knowledge; emotions, sensations, experience, behaviour.
We are each unique individuals arising from a combination of genetic, inherited, and learned information, all of which can be extremely fallible.
Things taught to us when we are young are quite deeply ingrained. Obviously some of it (like don’t stick your finger in a wall socket) is very useful,
but some of it is only opinion – an amalgamation of views from people you just happen to have had contact with.
A bit later on we have access to lots of other information via books, media, internet etc, but it is important to remember that most of this is still just opinion, and often biased.
Even subjects such as history are presented according to the presenter’s or author’s viewpoint, and science is continually changing. Newspapers and TV tend to cover news in the way that is most useful to them (and their funders/advisors), Research is also subject to the decisions of funders and can be distorted by business interests. Pretty much anyone can say what they want on the internet, so our powers of discernment need to be used to a great degree there too.
Not one of us can have a completely objective view as we cannot possibly have access to, and filter, all knowledge available, so we must accept that our views are bound to be subjective. Our understanding and responses are all very personal, and our views extremely varied. We tend to make each new thing fit in with the picture we have already started in our heads, but we often have to go back and adjust the picture if we want to be honest about our view of reality as we continually expand it. We are taking in vast amounts of information from others all the time, so need to ensure we are processing that to develop our own true reflection of who we are.

It didn’t take long for me to see how intertwined all of our struggles are. Justice is justice. And the denial of justice for any one group of people erodes justice for all people. Attacks on the rights of transgender people to access health care are tied to assaults on abortion rights, as both are grounded in a fight for sexual autonomy, a tug-of-war with the government over control of our own bodies. The fight for immigrant rights is an LGBTQ+ fight, too, because it is a collective demand for human-centered politics that treat people with a basic level of decency. And the work of dismantling systemic racism is ours as well.

Big Brother has no interest in well-informed citizens capable of critical thinking. Big Brother wants you to shop at Wal-Mart, where He will control the media that influences your life. The media works with the government and with the large corporations to form mass culture, which is utilized to create public consent, and most folks aren’t even aware of this process as it goes on all around them. Big Brother is actively seeking the complacency of the wage-slaves. Big Brother doesn’t want you to know about the spoken word performances given by Henry Rollins, or Jello Biafra or Terrence McKenna- or a thousand other people- because they will crack your laminate of societal posturing. Big Brother doesn’t want you to know about Bill Hicks, because Brother Bill will provide you with the courage and impetus to spit in Big Brother’s face. The internet is but one facet of our mass-marketed popular culture, and everyone is plugged into it. If you’re reading this, you are a part of it, the internet, one large hive mind, a singular consciousness. And that can be a good thing, but too often, people let themselves slip into it, into this world, to the point where they are no longer able to differentiate between what they think, what they know, and what is thrust upon them. They have no access to their own point of view, or their own spiritual consciousness, for lack of a better way to phrase it. So, to answer your question, in a lengthy and circuitous fashion, I would say that disgust with intellectual sloth, puerile voyeurism and dissent are the primary proponents in my work.

What, after all, is so special about genes? The answer is that they are replicators. The laws of physics are supposed to be true all over the accessible universe. Are there any principles of biology which are likely to have similar universal validity? When astronauts voyage to distant planets and look for life, they can expect to find creatures too strange and unearthly for us to imagine. But is there anything which must be true of all life, wherever it is found, and whatever the basis of its chemistry? If forms of life exist whose chemistry is based on silicon rather than carbon, or ammonia rather than water, if creatures are discovered which boil to death at -100 degrees centigrade, if a form of life is found which is not based on chemistry at all, but on electronic reverberating circuits, will there still be any general principle which is true of all life? Obviously I do not know but, if I had to bet, I would put my money on one fundamental principle. This is the law that all life evolves by the differential survival of replicating entities. The gene, the DNA molecule, happens to be the replicating entity which prevails on our own planet. There may be others. If there are, provided certain conditions are met, they will almost inevitably tend to become the basis for an evolutionary process.

Okay . . . let’s see. I don’t think we should take away a citizen’s right to own a gun. But I do think it should be one hell of a difficult process to get your hands on one. I think women should decide what to do with their own bodies, as long as it’s within the first trimester or it’s a medical emergency. I think government programs are absolutely necessary but I also think a more systematic process needs to be put in place that would encourage people to get off of welfare, rather than to stay on it. I think we should open up our borders to immigrants, as long as they register and pay taxes. I’m certain that life-saving medical care should be a basic human right, not a luxury only the wealthy can afford. I think college tuition should automatically be deferred and then repaid over a twenty-year period on a sliding scale. I think athletes are paid way too much, teachers are paid way too little, NASA is underfunded, weed should be legal, people should love who they want to love, and Wi-Fi should be universally accessible and free.” When he’s finished, he calmly reaches for his mug of hot chocolate and brings it back to his mouth. “Do you still love me?

Grief said C.S. Lewis is like "a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape." This is so. The lessons that come from grief come from its unexpected moves, from its shifting views of what had gone before and what is yet to come. Pain brought so often into one's consciousness cannot maintain the same capacity to wound. Grief, however creates strange sensitivity. The world is too intense to tolerate: a veil, a drink, another anaesthetic is required to blot out the ache of what remains. One sees too much and feels it, as Robert Lowell put it, "with one skin-layer missing."
Grief conspires to ensure that it will in time wear itself out. Unlike depression, it acts to preserve the self. Depression is malignant, indiscriminately destructive. Grief may bear resemblance to depression, but it is a distant kinship. In Grief, death occasions the pain. In depression, death is the solution to the pain. In Grief, one feels the absence of a life, not life itself. In depression, it is otherwise one cannot access the beat of life!

stood at the window at four a.m. and told myself: You, too, have a core of precious salt. The human core of inner salt, like this salt of Cardona, comes from the deepest part. Human salt, like this salt, is everlasting. Mine it, use it, and it will not deplete. In my own salt, my own core, this is what I knew: Life goes on a while. Then it ends. There is no fairness. Bad people are honored, and good ones are punished. The reverse is also true. Good people are honored, and bad people are punished, and some will call this grace, or the hand of God, instead of luck. But deep down, even if they lack the courage to admit it, inside each person, they know that the world is lawless and chaotic and random. This truth is stored in their salt. Some have access. Others don’t. A gift or a curse, that my salt is right here, with me all the time? A gift. I’d rather be driven by immutable truths than the winds of some opinion, whose real function is to underscore a person’s social position in a group, a belief without depth.

There are too many people already awake, aware, and armed.” “If the latest TV polls tell the people they are disarmed, they might blindly follow it,” Mark speculated. “People are what they’re told, and they love to be told what the majority is doing so they can do it too.

Colored like a sunset tide is a gaze sharply slicing through the reflective glass. A furrowed brow is set much too seriously, as if trying to unfold the pieces of the face that stared back at it. One eyebrow is raised skeptically, always calculating and analyzing its surroundings. I tilt my head trying to see the deeper meaning in my features, trying to imagine the connection between my looks and my character as I stare in the mirror for the required five minutes.
From the dark brown hair fastened tightly in a bun, a curl as bright as woven gold comes loose. A flash of unruly hair prominent through the typical browns is like my temper; always there, but not always visible. I begin to grow frustrated with the girl in the mirror, and she cocks her hip as if mocking me. In a moment, her lips curve in a half smile, not quite detectable in sight but rather in feeling, like the sensation of something good just around the corner. A chin was set high in a stubborn fashion, symbolizing either persistence or complete adamancy. Shoulders are held stiff like ancient mountains, proud but slightly arrogant.
The image watches with the misty eyes of a daydreamer, glazed over with a sort of trance as if in the middle of a reverie, or a vision. Every once and a while, her true fears surface in those eyes, terror that her life would amount to nothing, that her work would have no impact. Words written are meant to be read, and sometimes I worry that my thoughts and ideas will be lost with time.
My dream is to be an author, to be immortalized in print and live forever in the minds of avid readers. I want to access the power in being able to shape the minds of the young and open, and alter the minds of the old and resolute. Imagine the power in living forever, and passing on your ideas through generations. With each new reader, a new layer of meaning is uncovered in writing, meaning that even the author may not have seen.
In the mirror, I see a girl that wants to change the world, and change the way people think and reason. Reflection and image mean nothing, for the girl in the mirror is more than a one dimensional picture. She is someone who has followed my footsteps with every lesson learned, and every mistake made. She has been there to help me find a foothold in the world, and to catch me when I fall. As the lights blink out, obscuring her face, I realize that although that image is one that will puzzle me in years to come, she and I aren’t so different after all.

Making Waves I would do anything for you. Would you be yourself? In the Hans Christian Anderson classic, The Little Mermaid, Ariel gives up her beautiful voice in exchange for legs. This is a seemingly innocent fable that captures our deal with the modern devil. For aren't we taught that mobility is freedom, whether it be moving from state to state, or from marriage to marriage, or from adventure to adventure? Aren't we convinced that upward mobility, moving from job to job, is the definition of success? Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with change or variety or newness or with improving our condition. The catch is when we are asked to give up our voice in order to move freely, when we are asked to silence what makes us unique in order to be successful. When not making waves means giving up our chance to dive into the deep, then we are bartering our access to God for a better driveway. As a story about relationship, the lesson of Ariel is crucial. On the surface, her desire for legs seems touching and sweetly motivated by love and the want to belong. Yet here too is another false bargain that plagues everyone who ever tries it. For no matter how badly we want to love or be loved, we cannot alter our basic nature and survive inside, where it counts.

As the sun and each atom of ether is a sphere complete in itself, and yet at the same time only a part of a whole too immense for man to comprehend, so each individual has within himself his own aims and yet has them to serve a general purpose incomprehensible to man.
A bee settling on a flower has stung a child. And the child is afraid of bees and declares that bees exist to sting people. A poet admires the bee sucking from the chalice of a flower and says it exists to suck the fragrance of flowers. A beekeeper, seeing the bee collect pollen from flowers and carry it to the hive, says that it exists to gather honey. Another beekeeper who has studied the life of the hive more closely says that the bee gathers pollen dust to feed the young bees and rear a queen, and that it exists to perpetuate its race. A botanist notices that the bee flying with the pollen of a male flower to a pistil fertilizes the latter, and sees in this the purpose of the bee's existence. Another, observing the migration of plants, notices that the bee helps in this work, and may say that in this lies the purpose of the bee. But the ultimate purpose of the bee is not exhausted by the first, the second, or any of the processes the human mind can discern. The higher the human intellect rises in the discovery of these purposes, the more obvious it becomes, that the ultimate purpose is beyond our comprehension.
All that is accessible to man is the relation of the life of the bee to other manifestations of life. And so it is with the purpose of historic characters and nations.

Whether one calls slime molds, fungi, and plants “intelligent” depends on one’s point of view. Classical scientific definitions of intelligence use humans as a yardstick by which all other species are measured. According to these anthropocentric definitions, humans are always at the top of the intelligence rankings, followed by animals that look like us (chimpanzees, bonobos, etc.), followed again by other “higher” animals, and onward and downward in a league table—a great chain of intelligence drawn up by the ancient Greeks, which persists one way or another to this day. Because these organisms don’t look like us or outwardly behave like us—or have brains—they have traditionally been allocated a position somewhere at the bottom of the scale. Too often, they are thought of as the inert backdrop to animal life. Yet many are capable of sophisticated behaviors that prompt us to think in new ways about what it means for organisms to “solve problems,” “communicate,” “make decisions,” “learn,” and “remember.” As we do so, some of the vexed hierarchies that underpin modern thought start to soften. As they soften, our ruinous attitudes toward the more-than-human world may start to change. The second field of research that has guided me in this inquiry concerns the way we think about the microscopic organisms—or microbes—that cover every inch of the planet. In the last four decades, new technologies have granted unprecedented access to microbial lives. The outcome? For your community of microbes—your “microbiome”—your body is a planet. Some prefer the temperate forest of your scalp, some the arid plains of your forearm, some the tropical forest of your crotch or armpit. Your gut (which if unfolded would occupy an area of thirty-two square meters), ears, toes, mouth, eyes, skin, and every surface, passage, and cavity you possess teem with bacteria and fungi. You carry around more microbes than your “own” cells. There are more bacteria in your gut than stars in our galaxy.

I read every book and magazine I could. Heck, three bucks for a magazine, twenty bucks for a book. One good idea would lead to a customer or a solution, and those magazines and books paid for themselves many times over. Some of the ideas I read were good, some not. In doing all the reading I learned a valuable lesson.
Everything I read was public. Anyone could buy the same books and magazines. The same information was available to anyone who wanted it. Turns out most people didn't want it.
I remember going into customer meetings or talks or go to people in the industry and tossing out tidbits about software or hardware. Features that worked, bugs in the software. All things I had read. I expected the ongoing response of: "Oh yeah, I read that too in such-and-such." That's not what happened. They hadn't read it then, and they still haven't starting reading it.
Most people won't put in the time to get a knowledge advantage. Sure, there were folks that worked hard at picking up every bit of information that they could, but we were few and far between. To this day, I feel like if I put in enough time consuming all the information available, particularly with the internet making it so readily accessible, I can get an advantage in any technology business.

This background enables us to understand a fact that is symptomatic of the current phase of saturation: there are countless people who want to withdraw from the omnipresence of advertising, who even avoid it like the plague. Here too, it is helpful to distinguish between the states before and after. From the perspective of the burgeoning world of products, advertising could be justified by the argument that spreading the word about the existence of new means of life improvements was indispensable, as the populations of industrial and trading nations would otherwise have been cheated of major knowledge about discreet improvements to the world. As the ambassador of new bringers of advantage, early advertising was the general training medium for contemporary performance collectives thoughtlessly denounced in culture-conservative milieus as 'consumer societies'. The aversion to advertising that pervades the saturated infospheres of the present, however, is based on the correct intuition that, in most of its manifestations, it has long since become a form of downward training. It no longer passes on what people should know in order to access advantageous innovations; it creates illusions of purchasable self-elevations that de facto usually lead to weakenings.

Ultimately, I believe that the far right in America, at least the incarnation I spent years covering, is destined to fail. Not because America is inherently good and that the forces of justice and progress are always stronger than those of intolerance and hatred, but because white supremacy is doing just fine without the far right. The country has spent decades perfecting an ostensibly nonracial form of white supremacy, and it is serving with remarkable efficiency. Private prisons, mandatory sentencing, seemingly unchecked police power, gerrymandering, increasingly limited access to healthcare and abortion—these are all tendrils in an ingenious web designed to keep people poor and powerless. Yes, white people were caught in that web too, but when it comes to those experiencing poverty, African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos vastly outnumber whites. The people Matthew was ostensibly fighting for—the broken, beaten, and forgotten whites of Appalachia and the Rust Belt—weren’t victims in a war against white people but rather collateral damage in a war against poor people and minorities. I believe Matthew was right when he said that the elites and politicians hate his people, but they don’t hate them because they’re white; they hate them because they’re poor.

Now, the last one was that the demon king can’t stand either in heaven or on the earth. Urga set the demon on his lap, which means I guess I’ll have to…sit on your back.”
Awkward. Even though Ren was a big tiger and it would be like riding a small pony, I was still conscious that he was a man, and I didn’t feel right about turning him into a pack animal. I took off my backpack and set it down wondering what I could do to make this a bit less embarrassing. Mustering the courage to sit on his back, I’d just decided that it wouldn’t be too bad if I sat sidesaddle, when my feet flew out from under me.
Ren had changed into a man and swept me up into his arms. I wiggled for a minute, protesting, but he just gave me a look-the don’t-even-bother-coming-up-with-an-argument look. I shut my mouth. He leaned over to pick up the backpack, let it dangle from his fingers, and then said, “What’s next?”
“I don’t know. That’s all that Mr. Kadam told me.”
He shifted me in his arms, walked over to stand in the doorway again, then peered up at the statue. He murmured, “I don’t see any changes.”
He held me securely while looking at the statue and, I have to admit, I totally stopped caring about what we were doing. The scratches on my arm that had been throbbing a moment ago didn’t bother me at all. I let myself enjoy the feeling of being cuddled up close to his muscular chest. What girl didn’t want to be swept up in the arms of a drop-dead gorgeous man? I allowed my gaze to drift up to his beautiful face. The thought occurred to me that if I were to carve a stone god, I’d pick Ren as my subject. This Urga half-lion and half-man guy had nothing on Ren.
Eventually, he realized I was watching him, and said, “Hello? Kells? Breaking a curse here, remember?”
I just smiled back stupidly. He quirked an eyebrow at me.
“What were you thinking about just now?”
“Nothing important.”
He grinned. “May I remind you that you are in prime tickling position, and there’s no escape. Tell me.”
Gads. His smile was brilliant, even in the fog. I laughed nervously.
“If you tickle me, I’ll protest and struggle violently, which will cause you to drop me and ruin everything that we are trying to accomplish.”
He grunted, leaned close to my ear, and then whispered, “That sounds like an interesting challenge, rajkumari. Perhaps we shall experiment with it later. And just for the record, Kelsey, I wouldn’t drop you.”
The way he said my name made goose bumps rise all over my arms. When I looked down to quickly rub them, I noticed the flashlight had been turned off. I switched it on, but the statue remained the same. Giving up, I suggested, “Nothing’s happening. Maybe we need to wait till dawn.”
He laughed throatily while nuzzling my ear and declared softly, “I’d say that something is happening, but not the something that will open the doorway.”
He trailed soft, slow kisses from my ear down my neck. I sighed faintly and arched my neck to give him better access. With a last kiss, he groaned and reluctantly raised his head.
Disappointed that he’d stopped, I asked, “What does rajkumari mean?”
He laughed quietly, carefully set me down, and said, “It means princess.

... television looks to be an absolute godsend for a human subspecies that loves to watch people but hates to be watched itself. For the television screen affords access only one-way. A psychic ball-check valve. We can see Them; They can’t see Us. We can relax, unobserved, as we ogle. I happen to believe this is why television also appeals so much to lonely people. To voluntary shut-ins. Every lonely human I know watches way more than the average U.S. six hours a day. The lonely, like the fictive, love one-way watching. For lonely people are usually lonely not because of hideous deformity or odor or obnoxiousness—in fact there exist today support- and social groups for persons with precisely these attributes. Lonely people tend, rather, to be lonely because they decline to bear the psychic costs of being around other humans. They are allergic to people. People affect them too strongly. Let’s call the average U.S. lonely person Joe Briefcase. Joe Briefcase fears and loathes the strain of the special self-consciousness which seems to afflict him only when other real human beings are around, staring, their human sense-antennae abristle. Joe B. fears how he might appear, come across, to watchers. He chooses to sit out the enormously stressful U.S. game of appearance poker. But lonely people, at home, alone, still crave sights and scenes, company. Hence television. Joe can stare at Them on the screen; They remain blind to Joe. It’s almost like voyeurism.

Paul said to his Ephesian readers, discouraged because of his imprisonment, “My suffering is for your glory.” Why? Because that is how it works. Suffering and glory are closely linked. Suffering glorifies God to the universe and eventually even achieves a glory for us. And do you know why suffering and glory are so tied to each other? It is because of Jesus. Philippians 2 tells us Jesus laid aside his glory. Why? Charles Wesley’s famous Christmas carol tells you. Mild he lays his glory by; born that men no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth. Born to give them second birth. Jesus lost all his glory so that we could be clothed in it. He was shut out so we could get access. He was bound, nailed, so that we could be free. He was cast out so we could approach. And Jesus took away the only kind of suffering that can really destroy you: that is being cast away from God. He took that so that now all suffering that comes into your life will only make you great. A lump of coal under pressure becomes a diamond. And the suffering of a person in Christ only turns you into somebody gorgeous. Jesus Christ suffered, not so that we would never suffer but so that when we suffer we would be like him. His suffering led to glory. And you can see it in Paul. Paul is happy to be in prison because “my sufferings are for your glory,” he says. He is like Jesus now. Because that is how Jesus did it. And if you know that that glory is coming, you can handle suffering, too.

In a section of The Vaccine Book titled “Is it your social responsibility to vaccinate your kids?” Dr. Bob asks, “Can we fault parents for putting their own child’s health ahead of that of the kids around him?” This is meant to be a rhetorical question, but Dr. Bob’s implied answer is not mine. In another section of the book, Dr. Bob writes of his advice to parents who fear the MMR vaccine, “I also warn them not to share their fears with their neighbors, because if too many people avoid the MMR, we’ll likely see the disease increase significantly.” I do not need to consult an ethicist to determine that there is something wrong there, but my sister clarifies my discomfort. “The problem is in making a special exemption just for yourself,” she says. This reminds her of a way of thinking proposed by the philosopher John Rawls: Imagine that you do not know what position you are going to hold in society—rich, poor, educated, insured, no access to health care, infant, adult, HIV positive, healthy immune system, etc.—but that you are aware of the full range of possibilities. What you would want in that situation is a policy that is going to be equally just no matter what position you end up in. “Consider relationships of dependence,” my sister suggests. “You don’t own your body—that’s not what we are, our bodies aren’t independent. The health of our bodies always depends on choices other people are making.” She falters for a moment here, and is at a loss for words, which is rare for her. “I don’t even know how to talk about this,” she says. “The point is there’s an illusion of independence.

Too soon the two weeks were over and we were back in Lugano, and there we learned about Disaster.
We weren’t completely ignorant. We knew about disaster from our previous schools and previous lives. We’d had access to televisions and newspapers. But the return to Lugano marked the beginning of Global Awareness Month, and in each of our classes, we talked about disaster: disaster man-made and natural. We talked about ozone depletion and the extinction of species and depleted rain forests and war and poverty and AIDS. We talked about refugees and slaughter and famine.
We were in the middle school and were getting, according to Uncle Max, a diluted version of what the upper-schoolers were facing. An Iraqi boy from the upper school came to our history class and talked about what it felt like when the Americans bombed his country. Keisuke talked about how he felt responsible for World War II, and a German student said she felt the same.
We got into heated discussions over the neglect of infant females in some cultures, and horrific cases of child abuse worldwide. We fasted one day each week to raise our consciousness about hunger, and we sent money and canned goods and clothing to charities.
In one class, after we watched a movie about traumas in Rwanda, and a Rwandan student told us about seeing his mother killed, Mari threw up. We were all having nightmares.
At home, Aunt Sandy pleaded with Uncle Max. “This is too much!” she said. “You can’t dump all the world’s problems on these kids in one lump!”
And he agreed. He was bewildered by it all, but the program had been set up the previous year, and he was the new headmaster, reluctant to interfere. And though we were sick of it and about it, we were greedy for it. We felt privileged there in our protected world and we felt guilty, and this was our punishment.

... television looks to be an absolute godsend for a human subspecies that loves to watch people but hates to be watched itself. For the television screen affords access only one-way. A psychic ball-check valve. We can see Them; They can’t see Us. We can relax, unobserved, as we ogle. I happen to believe this is why television also appeals so much to lonely people. To voluntary shut-ins. Every lonely human I know watches way more than the average U.S. six hours a day. The lonely, like the fictive, love one-way watching. For lonely people are usually lonely not because of hideous deformity or odor or obnoxiousness—in fact there exist today support- and social groups for persons with precisely these attributes. Lonely people tend, rather, to be lonely because they decline to bear the psychic costs of being around other humans. They are allergic to people. People affect them too strongly. Let’s call the average U.S. lonely person Joe Briefcase. Joe Briefcase fears and loathes the strain of the special self-consciousness which seems to afflict him only when other real human beings are around, staring, their human sense-antennae abristle. Joe B. fears how he might appear, come across, to watchers. He chooses to sit out the enormously stressful U.S. game of appearance poker.
But lonely people, at home, alone, still crave sights and scenes, company. Hence television. Joe can stare at Them on the screen; They remain blind to Joe. It’s almost like voyeurism.

I feel as though dispossessed from the semblances of some crystalline reality to which I’d grown accustomed, and to some degree, had engaged in as a participant, but to which I had, nevertheless, grown inexplicably irrelevant. But the elements of this phenomenon are now quickly dissolving from memory and being replaced by reverse-engineered Random Access actualizations of junk code/DNA consciousness, the retro-coded catalysts of rogue cellular activity. The steel meshing titters musically and in its song, I hear a forgotten tale of the Interstitial gaps that form pinpoint vortexes at which fibers (quanta, as it were) of Reason come to a standstill, like light on the edge of a Singularity. The gaps, along their ridges, seasonally infected by the incidental wildfires in the collective unconscious substrata.
Heat flanks passageways down the Interstices. Wildfires cluster—spread down the base trunk Axon in a definitive roar: hitting branches, flaring out to Dendrites to give rise to this release of the very chemical seeds through which sentience is begotten.
Float about the ether, gliding a gentle current, before skimming down, to a skip over the surface of a sea of deep black with glimmering waves. And then, come to a stop, still inanimate and naked before any trespass into the Field, with all its layers that serve to veil. Plunge downward into the trenches. Swim backwards, upstream, and down through these spiraling jets of bubbles. Plummet past the threshold to trace the living history of shadows back to their source virus. And acquire this sense that the viruses as a sample, all of the outlying populations withstanding: they have their own sense of self-importance, too. Their own religion. And they mine their hosts barren with the utilitarian wherewithal that can only be expected of beings with self-preservationist motives.

-Exposition: the workings of the actual past + the virtual past may be illustrated by an event well known to collective history, such as the sinking of the Titanic. The disaster as it actually occurred descends into obscurity as its eyewitnesses die off, documents perish + the wreck of the ship dissolves in its Atlantic grave. Yet a virtual sinking of the Titanic, created from reworked memories, papers, hearsay, fiction--in short, belief--grows ever 'truer.' The actual past is brittle, ever-dimming + ever more problematic to access + reconstruct: in contrast, the virtual past is malleable, ever-brightening + ever more difficult to circumvent/expose as fraudulent.
-The present presses the virtual past into its own service, to lend credence to its mythologies + legitimacy to the imposition of will. Power seeks + is the right to 'landscape' the virtual past. (He who pays the historian calls the tune.)
-Symmetry demands an actual + virtualfuture, too. We imagine how next week, next year, or 2225 will shape up--a virtual future, constructed by wishes, prophecies + daydreams. This virtual future may influence the actual future, as in a self-fulfilling prophecy, but the actual future will eclipse our virtual one as surely as tomorrow eclipses today. Like Utopia, the actual future + the actual past exist only in the hazy distance, where they are no good to anyone.
-Q: Is there a meaningful distinction between one simulacrum of smoke, mirrors + shadows--the actual past--from another such simulacrum--the actual future?
-One model of time: an infinite matryoshka doll of painted moments, each 'shell' (the present) encased inside a nest of 'shells' (previous presents) I call the actual past but which we perceive as the virtual past. The doll of 'now' likewise encases a nest of presents yet to be, which I call the actual future but which we perceive as the virtual future.

Many people, even those who view themselves as liberals on other issues, tend to grow indignant, even rather agitated, if invited to look closely at these inequalities. “Life isn’t fair,” one parent in Winnetka answered flatly when I pressed the matter. “Wealthy children also go to summer camp. All summer. Poor kids maybe not at all. Or maybe, if they’re lucky, for two weeks. Wealthy children have the chance to go to Europe and they have the access to good libraries, encyclopedias, computers, better doctors, nicer homes. Some of my neighbors send their kids to schools like Exeter and Groton. Is government supposed to equalize these things as well?”
But government, of course, does not assign us to our homes, our summer camps, our doctors—or to Exeter. It does assign us to our public schools. Indeed, it forces us to go to them. Unless we have the wealth to pay for private education, we are compelled by law to go to public school—and to the public school in our district. Thus the state, by requiring attendance but refusing to require equity, effectively requires inequality. Compulsory inequity, perpetuated by state law, too frequently condemns our children to unequal lives.

Because all such things are aspects of the holomovement, he feels it has no meaning to speak of consciousness and matter as interacting. In a sense, the observer is the observed. The observer is also the measuring device, the experimental results, the laboratory, and the breeze that blows outside the laboratory. In fact, Bohm believes that consciousness is a more subtle form of matter, and the basis for any relationship between the two lies not in our own level of reality, but deep in the implicate order. Consciousness is present in various degrees of enfoldment and unfoldment in all matter, which is perhaps why plasmas possess some of the traits of living things. As Bohm puts it, "The ability of form to be active is the most characteristic feature of mind, and we have something that is mindlike already with the electron. "11 Similarly, he believes that dividing the universe up into living and nonliving things also has no meaning. Animate and inanimate matter are inseparably interwoven, and life, too, is enfolded throughout the totality of the universe. Even a rock is in some way alive, says Bohm, for life and intelligence are present not only in all of matter, but in "energy, " "space, " "time, " "the fabric of the entire universe, " and everything else we abstract out of the holomovement and mistakenly view as separate things. The idea that consciousness and life (and indeed all things) are ensembles enfolded throughout the universe has an equally dazzling flip side. Just as every portion of a hologram contains the image of the whole, every portion of the universe enfolds the whole. This means that if we knew how to access it we could find the Andromeda galaxy in the thumbnail of our left hand. We could also find Cleopatra meeting Caesar for the first time, for in principle the whole past and implications for the whole future are also enfolded in each small region of space and time. Every cell in our body enfolds the entire cosmos. So does every leaf, every raindrop, and every dust mote, which gives new meaning to William Blake's famous poem:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.

✅3 Simple Steps to Buy Verified Kraken Accounts in 2025
Here’s the thing—cryptocurrency is booming in 2025, and exchanges like Kraken remain at the center of it all. A verified Kraken account unlocks higher trading limits, faster withdrawals, and access to advanced features. For many, buying a pre-verified account seems like a shortcut to avoid the lengthy verification process. But is it safe? Let’s break it down step by step.

✅ Understand What a Verified Kraken Account Really Is
Types of Kraken Verification Levels
Kraken doesn’t just hand you all features at once. There are tiers: Starter, Express, Intermediate, and Pro. Each level determines your deposit limits, withdrawal speed, and trading features.
Starter – Low limits, no fiat deposits.
✅Yes
Express – Moderate crypto deposits but capped fiat.
✅Yes
Intermediate – Higher trading and withdrawal capacity.
✅Yes
Pro – Full access, professional trading features, institutional-grade.
✅Yes
✅Benefits of Having a Verified Account
A verified account isn’t just about bigger numbers. It’s about credibility, security, and compliance. You gain:
Access to higher withdrawal limits
✅100%
Fiat currency deposits (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.)
✅100%
Advanced order types and margin trading
✅100%
Faster customer support response
✅100%
A trustworthy reputation when trading large amounts
✅100%
Step 2: Where to Buy Verified Kraken Accounts Safely
Trusted Sources vs. Risky Marketplaces
There’s no shortage of sellers out there. Some advertise on Telegram groups, forums, or shady marketplaces. The truth? Most are scams waiting to happen. Trusted sources are rare, and even then, they carry risk because account transfers violate Kraken’s terms.
How to Identify a Legitimate Seller
Check reviews and feedback from real buyers
Avoid deals that seem too good to be true
Ensure seller provides proof of verification level
Use escrow services when possible
Step 3: Secure Your Newly Bought Kraken Account
Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
The first thing you should do is lock down the account with 2FA. Google Authenticator or Authy are solid picks.
Updating Recovery Information
Change linked email, phone number, and recovery details immediately after purchase.
Avoiding Common Security Mistakes
Don’t log in from public Wi-Fi
Don’t reuse old passwords
Don’t skip account activity checks”

✅Why Verified Revolut Accounts Are in Demand
Revolut has become more than just a digital bank—it’s a lifestyle tool. By 2025, millions of people rely on it for multi-currency accounts, crypto access, stock trading, and instant international transfers. A verified account unlocks the full suite of services, from higher spending limits to compliance benefits.
But here’s the catch: getting verified through Revolut itself can take time, and not everyone gets approved easily. That’s why some buyers look for a shortcut by purchasing a pre-verified account. It sounds convenient, but it’s also risky. This guide breaks down 13 steps to help you understand the process, risks, and safer alternatives.
✅Understand What a Verified Revolut Account Means
Revolut Verification Levels Explained
Revolut uses Know Your Customer (KYC) checks to verify identity. The levels typically include:
Basic – Limited transfers and features.
Standard Verification – Unlocks higher spending and transfers.
Advanced Verification – Needed for full functionality like large transfers, crypto, and investments.
✅Benefits of Verified Status
Higher daily and monthly transfer limits
✅100%
Access to international banking features
✅100%
Ability to trade crypto and stocks
✅100%
Stronger account credibility and reduced risk of freezes
✅100%
Step 2: Research Before Buying
Identifying Risks vs. Rewards
The reward of buying is instant access. The risk? Losing money, legal consequences, or account suspension.
What Most Buyers Overlook
Most people forget that Revolut tracks suspicious activity. If account ownership suddenly changes, Revolut may freeze it. That means you could pay for something you can’t use.
Step 3: Choose the Right Marketplace
Trusted Sources vs. Black Market Vendors
Some accounts are sold on shady Telegram groups or dark web markets. Others are advertised on freelance forums. Both come with scams and fraud.
Signs of a Scam Seller
No reviews or unverifiable testimonials
Prices that are “too good to be true”
Refusal to use escrow services
Step 4: Compare Account Prices
Factors That Affect Pricing
Verification level (basic, standard, advanced)
Country of registration
Age of the account
Previous usage history
Average Cost in 2025
Most verified Revolut accounts sell between $300 and $1,000, depending on features.
Step 5: Verify Seller Credentials
Reputation Checks
Check online forums, reviews, and ask for proof of successful transfers.
Using Escrow for Safety
An escrow service can hold your money until you confirm the account works.
Step 6: Inspect the Account Details
Email, Phone, and KYC Information
Make sure the account is linked to details that can be changed. If the seller retains control, they can reclaim it.
Ensuring No Previous Flags
Ask for screenshots showing the account is clean, with no limits or compliance warnings.
Step 7: Secure the Purchase
Payment Methods to Use or Avoid
Safe options: Escrow crypto payments, trusted marketplaces.
Risky options: Direct bank transfers or PayPal “friends and family.”
Red Flags Before Paying
Seller pressures you to hurry
They refuse to verify account details

Everyone tensed as he leaned in, head dipping, and kissed her.
Nesta's lips were chips of ice.
But he let their coldness sting his own, and brushed his mouth against hers. Nipped at her bottom lip until he felt it drop a fraction. He slid his tongue into that opening, and found the inside of her mouth, usually so soft and warm, crusted with hoarfrost.
Nesta didn't kiss him back, but didn't shove him away. So Cassian sent his heat into it, fusing their mouths together, his free hand bracing her hip as his Siphons nipped at her hand once more.
Her mouth opened wider, and he slid his tongue over every inch- over her frozen teeth, over the roof of her mouth. Warming, softening, freeing.
Her tongue lifted to meet his in a single stroke that cracked the ice in her mouth.
He slanted his mouth over hers, tugging her against his chest, and tasted her as he'd wanted to taste her the other night, deep and thorough and claiming. Her tongue again brushed against his, and then her body was warming, and Cassian pulled back enough to say against her lips, 'Let go, Nesta.'
He drove his mouth into hers again, daring her to unleash that cold fire upon him.
Something thunked and clinked beside them.
And when Nesta's other hand gripped her shoulder, fingers now free of stones and bones, when she arched her neck, granting him better, deeper access, he nearly shuddered with relief.
She broke the kiss first, as if sliding into her body and remembering who kissed her, where they were, who watched.
Cassian opened his eyes to find her so close that they shared breath. Normal, unclouded breath. Her eyes had returned to the blue-grey he knew so well. Stunned surprise and a little fear lit her face. As if she'd never seen him before.
'Interesting,' Amren observed, and he found the female studying the map.
Feyre gaped, though, Rhys's hand gripped tight in her own. Caution blazed on Rhys's face. On Azriel's, too.
What the hell did you do to pull her out of that? Rhys asked.
Cassian didn't really know. The only thing I could think of.
You warmed the entire room.
I didn't mean to.

Verified Skrill accounts come with increased transaction limits, access to premium features, and a greater level of trust for international transfers. That’s why many opt to purchase them instead of going through the verification process themselves. Still, not all sellers are reliable. To buy verified Skrill accounts safely, it’s essential to use trusted platforms or brokers that specialize in digital accounts. Avoid unknown sellers or random offers on social media, as they often lead to scams or compromised accounts.
Before purchasing, confirm that the account is fully verified, has no prior disputes, and comes with full access credentials, including the ability to change the registered email and phone number. After the purchase, your first steps should include updating all login details, enabling two-factor authentication, and linking your own secure email.
This ensures complete control and minimizes the risk of unauthorized access. Also, make sure the account hasn’t been used for suspicious activities that could flag it with Skrill. While buying a verified Skrill account can give you a head start, taking the right precautions is key. Always prioritize security, use escrow payment methods if available, and avoid deals that seem too good to be true. When done correctly, purchasing a verified Skrill account can streamline your financial operations and give you immediate access to a global payment system without the usual delays
Who Typically Needs a Verified Skrill Account?
A verified Skrill account isn’t just a luxury — for many users, it’s a necessity. Skrill is widely used for international money transfers, online purchases, and digital payments. Verification unlocks higher limits, improved account security, and full access to all features. But who exactly benefits most from having a verified Skrill account?
1. Freelancers and Remote Workers
Freelancers who work with clients overseas often rely on Skrill to receive payments. A verified account helps them access funds quickly, avoid limits on incoming transfers, and build credibility with clients who prefer secure, professional transactions.
2. Forex and Crypto Traders
Skrill is a popular payment method on many forex and cryptocurrency platforms. Traders use verified accounts to deposit and withdraw large amounts without restrictions. Verification also reduces the chances of account freezes during high-volume activity.

Buying a verified Venmo account might seem like a small task, but it's actually more serious than you’d think. You’re dealing with money, after all! If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could get scammed—or worse—get banned from Venmo entirely. So let’s walk through 15 simple tips to help you safely buy a verified Venmo account, anytime.

First things first—why do you even need a verified Venmo account?
A verified account removes a lot of limits. You can send and receive more money, link a bank account, and even get access to features like instant transfers. If you're running a business or need to accept payments quickly, a verified Venmo account is a total game changer.

Not every seller is trustworthy. Some are just waiting to take your money and disappear. So how do you find the right one?
Look for sellers who’ve been in the game for a while. Reputable websites and marketplaces usually offer better protection. If they’re sketchy, move on. A real seller will have a professional tone, clear product descriptions, and maybe even a refund policy.
Check for User Reviews and Testimonials
Reviews can save you a headache—literally.
Before you hit “buy,” scroll through what others are saying. If a seller has lots of good reviews and happy buyers, that’s a green flag. If all you see are angry comments and refund complaints? Red flag. Run.
It’s like asking your friend about a restaurant before you eat there—you trust someone who’s already tried it.

Nothing in life is free—especially not verified Venmo accounts.
If someone claims they’ll “give” you an account for free, it’s probably a scam. They’ll either try to steal your info or get you to download shady apps. Don’t fall for it.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Compare Prices Before Buying
You wouldn’t buy a phone without checking prices at different stores, right? Same goes here.
Don’t buy from the first seller you see. Compare prices across a few platforms. If one seller is charging way less than others, be cautious. They might be cutting corners—or selling fake accounts.
Aim for the middle ground: not too cheap, not overpriced.
Make Sure the Account is Fully Verified
A “verified” Venmo account should have a verified phone number, email, and bank or debit card connected. Ask the seller directly:
“Is this account fully verified with all required info?”
If they hesitate or say, “partially verified,” walk away.
You want something ready to use without issues. Like buying a car with all parts working—not one that needs fixing the second you drive it.
Ask for Proof of Verification
A legit seller should show you proof.
Ask for screenshots of the Venmo profile showing it’s verified. Look for:

Security is a big and serious deal, but it’s also largely a solved problem. That’s why the average person is quite willing to do their banking online and why nobody is afraid of entering their credit card number on Amazon. At 37signals, we’ve devised a simple security checklist all employees must follow: 1. All computers must use hard drive encryption, like the built-in FileVault feature in Apple’s OS X operating system. This ensures that a lost laptop is merely an inconvenience and an insurance claim, not a company-wide emergency and a scramble to change passwords and worry about what documents might be leaked. 2. Disable automatic login, require a password when waking from sleep, and set the computer to automatically lock after ten inactive minutes. 3. Turn on encryption for all sites you visit, especially critical services like Gmail. These days all sites use something called HTTPS or SSL. Look for the little lock icon in front of the Internet address. (We forced all 37signals products onto SSL a few years back to help with this.) 4. Make sure all smartphones and tablets use lock codes and can be wiped remotely. On the iPhone, you can do this through the “Find iPhone” application. This rule is easily forgotten as we tend to think of these tools as something for the home, but inevitably you’ll check your work email or log into Basecamp using your tablet. A smartphone or tablet needs to be treated with as much respect as your laptop. 5. Use a unique, generated, long-form password for each site you visit, kept by password-managing software, such as 1Password.§ We’re sorry to say, “secretmonkey” is not going to fool anyone. And even if you manage to remember UM6vDjwidQE9C28Z, it’s no good if it’s used on every site and one of them is hacked. (It happens all the time!) 6. Turn on two-factor authentication when using Gmail, so you can’t log in without having access to your cell phone for a login code (this means that someone who gets hold of your login and password also needs to get hold of your phone to login). And keep in mind: if your email security fails, all other online services will fail too, since an intruder can use the “password reset” from any other site to have a new password sent to the email account they now have access to. Creating security protocols and algorithms is the computer equivalent of rocket science, but taking advantage of them isn’t. Take the time to learn the basics and they’ll cease being scary voodoo that you can’t trust. These days, security for your devices is just simple good sense, like putting on your seat belt.

Verified Skrill accounts come with increased transaction limits, access to premium features, and a greater level of trust for international transfers. That’s why many opt to purchase them instead of going through the verification process themselves. Still, not all sellers are reliable. To buy verified Skrill accounts safely, it’s essential to use trusted platforms or brokers that specialize in digital accounts. Avoid unknown sellers or random offers on social media, as they often lead to scams or compromised accounts.
Before purchasing, confirm that the account is fully verified, has no prior disputes, and comes with full access credentials, including the ability to change the registered email and phone number. After the purchase, your first steps should include updating all login details, enabling two-factor authentication, and linking your own secure email.
This ensures complete control and minimizes the risk of unauthorized access. Also, make sure the account hasn’t been used for suspicious activities that could flag it with Skrill. While buying a verified Skrill account can give you a head start, taking the right precautions is key. Always prioritize security, use escrow payment methods if available, and avoid deals that seem too good to be true. When done correctly, purchasing a verified Skrill account can streamline your financial operations and give you immediate access to a global payment system without the usual delays

Trusted Sources vs. Risky Marketplaces
There’s no shortage of sellers out there. Some advertise on Telegram groups, forums, or shady marketplaces. The truth? Most are scams waiting to happen. Trusted sources are rare, and even then, they carry risk because account transfers violate Kraken’s terms.

Ensure seller provides proof of verification level
Use escrow services when possible
Step 3: Secure Your Newly Bought Kraken Account

Change linked email, phone number, and recovery details immediately after purchase.

Don’t reuse old passwords
Don’t skip account activity checks

Understand Why You Need a Verified Venmo Account
First things first—why do you even need a verified Venmo account?
A verified account removes a lot of limits. You can send and receive more money, link a bank account, and even get access to features like instant transfers. If you're running a business or need to accept payments quickly, a verified Venmo account is a total game changer.
Think of it like driving with a full license instead of a learner’s permit—it just makes everything smoother.

Not every seller is trustworthy. Some are just waiting to take your money and disappear. So how do you find the right one?
Look for sellers who’ve been in the game for a while. Reputable websites and marketplaces usually offer better protection. If they’re sketchy, move on. A real seller will have a professional tone, clear product descriptions, and maybe even a refund policy.
Check for User Reviews and Testimonials
Reviews can save you a headache—literally.
Before you hit “buy,” scroll through what others are saying. If a seller has lots of good reviews and happy buyers, that’s a green flag. If all you see are angry comments and refund complaints? Red flag. Run.
It’s like asking your friend about a restaurant before you eat there—you trust someone who’s already tried it.

Nothing in life is free—especially not verified Venmo accounts.
If someone claims they’ll “give” you an account for free, it’s probably a scam. They’ll either try to steal your info or get you to download shady apps. Don’t fall for it.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Compare Prices Before Buying
You wouldn’t buy a phone without checking prices at different stores, right? Same goes here.
Don’t buy from the first seller you see. Compare prices across a few platforms. If one seller is charging way less than others, be cautious. They might be cutting corners—or selling fake accounts.
Aim for the middle ground: not too cheap, not overpriced.
Make Sure the Account is Fully Verified
A “verified” Venmo account should have a verified phone number, email, and bank or debit card connected. Ask the seller directly:
“Is this account fully verified with all required info?”
If they hesitate or say, “partially verified,” walk away.
You want something ready to use without issues. Like buying a car with all parts working—not one that needs fixing the second you drive it.
Ask for Proof of Verification
A legit seller should show you proof.
Ask for screenshots of the Venmo profile showing it’s verified. Look for:

Finally, we arrive at the question of the so-called nonpolitical man. Hitler not only established his power from the very beginning with masses of people who were until then essentially nonpolitical; he also accomplished his last step to victory in March of 1933 in a "legal" manner, by mobilizing no less than five million nonvoters, that is to say, nonpolitical people. The Left parties had made every effort to win over the indifferent masses, without posing the question as to what it means "to be indifferent or nonpolitical."
If an industrialist and large estate owner champions a rightist party, this is easily understood in terms of his immediate economic interests. In his case a leftist orientation would be at variance with his social situation and would, for that reason, point to irrational motives. If an industrial worker has a leftist orientation, this too is by all mean rationally consistent—it derives from his economic and social position in industry. If, however, a worker, an employee, or an official has a rightist orientation, this must be ascribed to a lack of political clarity, i.e., he is ignorant of his social position. The more a man who belongs to the broad working masses is nonpolitical, the more susceptible he is to the ideology of political reaction. To be nonpolitical is not, as one might suppose, evidence of a passive psychic condition, but of a highly active attitude, a defense against the awareness of social responsibility. The analysis of this defense against consciousness of one's social responsibility yields clear insights into a number of dark questions concerning the behavior of the broad nonpolitical strata. In the case of the average intellectual "who wants nothing to do with politics," it can easily be shown that immediate economic interests and fears related to his social position, which is dependent upon public opinion, lie at the basis of his noninvolvement. These fears cause him to make the most grotesque sacrifices with respect to his knowledge and convictions. Those people who are engaged in the production process in one way or another and are nonetheless socially irresponsible can be divided into two major groups. In the case of the one group the concept of politics is unconsciously associated with the idea of violence and physical danger, i.e., with an intense fear, which prevents them from facing life realistically. In the case of the other group, which undoubtedly constitutes the majority, social irresponsibility is based on personal conflicts and anxieties, of which the sexual anxiety is the predominant one. […] Until now the revolutionary movement has misunderstood this situation. It attempted to awaken the "nonpolitical" man by making him conscious solely of his unfulfilled economic interests. Experience teaches that the majority of these "nonpolitical" people can hardly be made to listen to anything about their socio-economic situation, whereas they are very accessible to the mystical claptrap of a National Socialist, despite the fact that the latter makes very little mention of economic interests. [This] is explained by the fact that severe sexual conflicts (in the broadest sense of the word), whether conscious or unconscious, inhibit rational thinking and the development of social responsibility. They make a person afraid and force him into a shell. If, now, such a self-encapsulated person meets a propagandist who works with faith and mysticism, meets, in other words, a fascist who works with sexual, libidinous methods, he turns his complete attention to him. This is not because the fascist program makes a greater impression on him than the liberal program, but because in his devotion to the führer and the führer's ideology, he experiences a momentary release from his unrelenting inner tension. Unconsciously, he is able to give his conflicts a different form and in this way to "solve" them.

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency trading, speed and access often determine success. As platforms like Bybit continue to tighten their security and compliance regulations, a growing number of traders are tempted to take a shortcut: buying a verified Bybit account. On the surface, it might seem like a fast way to start trading with full privileges. But beneath the convenience lies a web of risks, bans, scams, and legal implications.

So, what exactly does it mean to buy a verified Bybit account, and is it a quick start to profits or a fast track to disaster? Let’s dig deep into this controversial practice and explore both sides of the coin.
What Is a Verified Bybit Account?
A verified Bybit account is an account that has completed the platform's full KYC (Know Your Customer) process. This includes:

Bybit, being a major global exchange, requires this verification for compliance with international anti-money laundering laws and to protect its user base.
Why People Are Buying Verified Bybit Accounts
1. Skipping the KYC Process
Some traders find the KYC process too time-consuming or intrusive. Purchasing a verified account offers immediate access to trading features without submitting personal documents.
2. Access from Restricted Regions
Countries like the United States, China, Canada, and others are restricted from accessing Bybit. Traders from these countries buy accounts created in non-restricted jurisdictions to bypass the geo-block.
3. Using Multiple Accounts
Savvy traders often want to use multiple accounts for strategies like arbitrage, bot trading, or referral farming. Rather than registering several identities, they purchase ready-made verified accounts.
4. Preserving Privacy
Some crypto users highly value anonymity. Buying a verified account lets them trade under a different identity, protecting their real-world data from centralized platforms.

The marketplace for verified Bybit accounts thrives in encrypted corners of the internet, including:

The Pros of Buying a Verified Bybit Account
Let’s look at the reasons why some people are still taking the risk:
✔️ Instant Access
You can start trading immediately, without the hassle of paperwork or approval delays.
✔️ High Limits
Enjoy full platform capabilities—higher withdrawal limits, fiat gateways, and advanced trading tools.
✔️ Anonymity
You don’t have to reveal your identity if you're using someone else's verified profile (though this is extremely risky).
✔️ Access to Promotions
Bybit often runs exclusive promotions for verified users. A purchased account can give you access to rewards that would otherwise be off-limits.
The Serious Risks of Buying Verified Accounts
Now, here’s where things get dangerous—really dangerous.
⚠️ 1. Permanent Bans
Bybit’s systems are highly sophisticated. They monitor IP addresses, device fingerprints, geolocation mismatches, login behaviors, and trade patterns. If your activity doesn’t match the original KYC profile, your account will likely be flagged and banned—with zero

Roosevelt wouldn't interfere even when he found out that Moses was discouraging Negroes from using many of his state parks. Underlying Moses' strikingly strict policing for cleanliness in his parks was, Frances Perkins realized with "shock," deep distaste for the public that was using them. "He doesn't love the people," she was to say. "It used to shock me because he was doing all these things for the welfare of the people... He'd denounce the common people terribly. To him they were lousy, dirty people, throwing bottles all over Jones Beach. 'I'll get them! I'll teach them!' ... He loves the public, but not as people. The public is just The Public. It's a great amorphous mass to him; it needs to be bathed, it needs to be aired, it needs recreation, but not for personal reasons -- just to make it a better public." Now he began taking measures to limit use of his parks. He had restricted the use of state parks by poor and lower-middle-class families in the first place, by limiting access to the parks by rapid transit; he had vetoed the Long Island Rail Road's proposed construction of a branch spur to Jones Beach for this reason. Now he began to limit access by buses; he instructed Shapiro to build the bridges across his new parkways low -- too low for buses to pass. Bus trips therefore had to be made on local roads, making the trips discouragingly long and arduous. For Negroes, whom he considered inherently "dirty," there were further measures. Buses needed permits to enter state parks; buses chartered by Negro groups found it very difficult to obtain permits, particularly to Moses' beloved Jones Beach; most were shunted to parks many miles further out on Long Island. And even in these parks, buses carrying Negro groups were shunted to the furthest reaches of the parking areas. And Negroes were discouraged from using "white" beach areas -- the best beaches -- by a system Shapiro calls "flagging"; the handful of Negro lifeguards [...] were all stationed at distant, least developed beaches. Moses was convinced that Negroes did not like cold water; the temperature at the pool at Jones Beach was deliberately icy to keep Negroes out. When Negro civic groups from the hot New York City slums began to complain about this treatment, Roosevelt ordered an investigation and an aide confirmed that "Bob Moses is seeking to discourage large Negro parties from picnicking at Jones Beach, attempting to divert them to some other of the state parks." Roosevelt gingerly raised the matter with Moses, who denied the charge violently -- and the Governor never raised the matter again.

The year 2026 has redefined how people manage money online. With the explosion of digital payments, freelancing, and global trade, platforms like Wise (formerly TransferWise) have become essential. But here’s the catch—getting a verified Wise account isn’t always easy. That’s why many people are turning to online marketplaces to buy verified accounts.

✅➤Email: usukseller6@gmail.com
But is it worth it? Is it safe? And what do you need to know before making a purchase? Let’s break it all down in this ultimate guide.
✅What is a Verified Wise Account?
A verified Wise account is one that has passed Wise’s strict verification process, usually involving ID checks, proof of address, and sometimes business documents.
Verified accounts: Come with higher transaction limits, better security, and full access to Wise’s features.
✅Unverified accounts: Often have restrictions, limited transactions, and higher chances of suspension.
✅Think of verification as your digital passport—it tells Wise and other users, “Yes, this person is legit.”
✅Why People Buy Verified Wise Accounts
✅Buying verified Wise accounts has become a trend for several reasons:
✅Global payments: Perfect for freelancers and businesses working with international clients.
✅Business expansion: Companies use them to accept payments worldwide.
✅Trust factors: Verified accounts are seen as more reliable and professional.
For example, a freelancer in India working with a US client might prefer using a pre-verified Wise account to avoid waiting weeks for approval.
✅Benefits of Having a Verified Wise Account
✅Owning a verified Wise account opens many doors:
✅Easy international transfers with lower fees compared to banks.
✅Multiple currency wallets, making travel and global business easier.
✅Improved account credibility, which builds trust with clients and partners.
✅Reduced risk of limits, since unverified accounts often face restrictions.
It’s like having a financial Swiss Army knife—you can handle payments from almost anywhere with ease.
✅Risks of Buying Verified Wise Accounts Online
✅Here’s where things get tricky. While buying accounts may sound like a shortcut, it comes with risks:
✅Fraud: Some sellers may sell fake or hacked accounts.
✅Suspension: Wise has advanced fraud detection systems; suspicious logins may lead to shutdowns.
✅Legal issues: Depending on your country, purchasing financial accounts may fall into a gray area legally.
✅So, buying is not without its downsides.
✅How to Choose a Trusted Seller
✅If you still want to buy, do it wisely (pun intended).
✅Research marketplaces before committing.
✅Check reviews and testimonials from past buyers.
✅Look for red flags like prices that seem too good to be true.
✅Think of it like buying a used car—you want to know the history before putting money down.
✅Steps to Buy Verified Wise Accounts Safely
✅If you decide to move forward, follow these steps:
✅Identify your needs (personal or business use).
✅Verify the seller’s authenticity by checking profiles and customer feedback.
✅Use secure payment methods, preferably those with buyer protection.
✅Change account credentials immediately after purchase.
✅These steps reduce your chances of being scammed.
✅Things to Consider Before Buying
✅Before you hit that “buy” button, think about:
✅Account ownership transfer—will you have full control?”

✅Why Verified Revolut Accounts Are in Demand
Revolut has become more than just a digital bank—it’s a lifestyle tool. By 2025, millions of people rely on it for multi-currency accounts, crypto access, stock trading, and instant international transfers. A verified account unlocks the full suite of services, from higher spending limits to compliance benefits.
But here’s the catch: getting verified through Revolut itself can take time, and not everyone gets approved easily. That’s why some buyers look for a shortcut by purchasing a pre-verified account. It sounds convenient, but it’s also risky. This guide breaks down 13 steps to help you understand the process, risks, and safer alternatives.
✅Understand What a Verified Revolut Account Means
Revolut Verification Levels Explained
Revolut uses Know Your Customer (KYC) checks to verify identity. The levels typically include:
Basic – Limited transfers and features.

✅➤Telegram:@usukseller
✅➤Whatsapp: +1(939)328-6215
Standard Verification – Unlocks higher spending and transfers.
Advanced Verification – Needed for full functionality like large transfers, crypto, and investments.
✅Benefits of Verified Status
Higher daily and monthly transfer limits
✅100%
Access to international banking features
✅100%
Ability to trade crypto and stocks
✅100%
Stronger account credibility and reduced risk of freezes
✅100%
Step 2: Research Before Buying
Identifying Risks vs. Rewards
The reward of buying is instant access. The risk? Losing money, legal consequences, or account suspension.
What Most Buyers Overlook
Most people forget that Revolut tracks suspicious activity. If account ownership suddenly changes, Revolut may freeze it. That means you could pay for something you can’t use.
Step 3: Choose the Right Marketplace
Trusted Sources vs. Black Market Vendors
Some accounts are sold on shady Telegram groups or dark web markets. Others are advertised on freelance forums. Both come with scams and fraud.
Signs of a Scam Seller
No reviews or unverifiable testimonials
Prices that are “too good to be true”
Refusal to use escrow services
Step 4: Compare Account Prices
Factors That Affect Pricing

Understand Why You Need a Verified Venmo Account
First things first—why do you even need a verified Venmo account?
A verified account removes a lot of limits. You can send and receive more money, link a bank account, and even get access to features like instant transfers. If you're running a business or need to accept payments quickly, a verified Venmo account is a total game changer.
Think of it like driving with a full license instead of a learner’s permit—it just makes everything smoother.
Choose a Trusted Seller Only
Not every seller is trustworthy. Some are just waiting to take your money and disappear. So how do you find the right one?
Look for sellers who’ve been in the game for a while. Reputable websites and marketplaces usually offer better protection. If they’re sketchy, move on. A real seller will have a professional tone, clear product descriptions, and maybe even a refund policy.
Check for User Reviews and Testimonials
Reviews can save you a headache—literally.
Before you hit “buy,” scroll through what others are saying. If a seller has lots of good reviews and happy buyers, that’s a green flag. If all you see are angry comments and refund complaints? Red flag. Run.
It’s like asking your friend about a restaurant before you eat there—you trust someone who’s already tried it.
Avoid Free Offers – They’re Usually Scams
Nothing in life is free—especially not verified Venmo accounts.
If someone claims they’ll “give” you an account for free, it’s probably a scam. They’ll either try to steal your info or get you to download shady apps. Don’t fall for it.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Compare Prices Before Buying
You wouldn’t buy a phone without checking prices at different stores, right? Same goes here.
Don’t buy from the first seller you see. Compare prices across a few platforms. If one seller is charging way less than others, be cautious. They might be cutting corners—or selling fake accounts.
Aim for the middle ground: not too cheap, not overpriced.
Make Sure the Account is Fully Verified
A “verified” Venmo account should have a verified phone number, email, and bank or debit card connected. Ask the seller directly:
“Is this account fully verified with all required info?”
If they hesitate or say, “partially verified,” walk away.
You want something ready to use without issues. Like buying a car with all parts working—not one that needs fixing the second you drive it.
Ask for Proof of Verification
A legit seller should show you proof.
Ask for screenshots of the Venmo profile showing it’s verified. Look for:
Green checkmark next to the profile
Connected phone number
Linked bank account
You don’t have to be tech-savvy to recognize a real screen from a fake one. Just trust your gut and double-check any image they send.
Ensure Secure Payment Methods
Here’s where a lot of people mess up—paying the wrong way.
Never send money via friends-and-family payments. You can’t dispute it later if something goes wrong. Use secure options like PayPal (Goods & Services), cryptocurrency with escrow, or a platform that guarantees protection.
Think of it as wearing a seatbelt while driving—better safe than sorry.
