Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965) was a British statesman, soldier and writer who served as Prime Minister of the UK from 1940 to 1945, during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. An economic liberal and imperialist, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955. He was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the US. These recordings capture 51 of Churchill’s speeches over 1934-45.

Former hardcore atheist Casey Ocupe walks you through the very evidence...

Aphantasia is described as a benign variation in human consciousness. How do we know? What if the absence of mental imagery means more than the inability to visualize voluntarily? Why was effortless imagery—the mental representation that appears automatically—never included in the definition? Drawing on scientific research, historical sources, and decades of lived observation, this book explores aphantasia, anauralia, and anendophasia through rarely asked questions: What exactly is absent? How can a deficit be just a curiosity? Why did neuroscience surround these definitions with ...
