You starting to peak yet? Tracers, maybe some time dilation? Maybe your sense of truth has started to come unraveled and you realize that the frames that society forces you to use to understand reality are actually systems of control meant to keep you from reaching the transcendent state of enlightenment that is your birthright as a child of light? Drugs are wild huh?! We're talking A Scanner Darkly and PKD High Weirdness.

In the middle of the first world war, a group of artists, poets, and philosophers created an artistic and intellectual movement in response to the war.
While the movement itself didn’t last very long, its legacy of it laid the foundation for modern art in the 20th century, and can still be seen in modern art today.

When people today hear "paleontology," they immediately think of dinosaurs. But for much of the history of the discipline, dramatic demonstrations of the history of life focused on the developmental history of mammals.The Age of Mammals: Nature, Development, and Paleontology in the Long Nineteenth Century(U Pittsburgh Press, 2023) examines how nineteenth-century scholars, writers, artists, and public audiences understood the animals they regarded as being at the summit of life. For them, mammals were crucial for understanding the formation (and possibly the future) of the natural world. Yet, as Chris Manias reveals, this combined with more troubling notions: that seemingly promising creatures had been swept aside in the "struggle for life," or that modern biodiversity was impoverished compared to previous eras. Why some prehistoric creatures, such as the saber-toothed cat and ground sloth, had become extinct, while others seemed to have been the ancestors of familiar animals like elephants and horses, was a question loaded with cultural assumptions, ambiguity, and trepidation. How humans related to deep developmental processes, and whether "the Age of Man" was qualitatively different from the Age of Mammals, led to reflections on humanity's place within the natural world. With this book, Manias considers the cultural resonance of mammal paleontology from an international perspective--how reconstructions of the deep past of fossil mammals across the world conditioned new understandings of nature and the current environment.
