This book covers a topic that is important but not very commonly dealt with currently.
The author goes into differences in cultures and how that plays into whether exploration and expansion of civilization goes on rapidly or slowly. He also delves into happiness of the different cultures through time and how colonization and pioneer life and even community action relates to that.
This book provides a very good foundation of the history and current status of cultural values and how colonization and establishment of new communities is related to our culture.
The author shows how cultures that promote settlement, community projects, and cooperation historically have been happier than those which valued no community cohesion, competition, and personal comfort and power, which have not been a happy group, usually disappearing over time.
This is a short book at 75 pages on culture and values so no illustrations. The author uses numerous examples and quotes from other sources and authors. It was written mostly to augment the technical reasons why we should or should not proceed to establish pioneers on Mars.
The cultural topics are very relevant, and apply to more than just the Mars instance. Everyone should read and follow the author's discussion on this aspect of culture and values.… (mais)

Review of the Repristination Press Kindle ebook (2014) of the paperback original (2014)
I read Aleksandr Dugin and the Perils of Immanentized Eschatology as part of my survey of various books in relation to the 2020 American Election. Dugin may seem very far afield from that beginning, but the pathway to that extreme was my understanding that many, if not all, of the current worldwide populist Traditionalist movements usually have an idealogue behind the scenes. This is certainly the case with Donald Trump and Steve Bannon, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro and [author:Olavo de Carvalho|1163606], and in the present case with Russia's Vladimir Putin and Aleksandr Dugin. It is likely the case for populist movements in France, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey and others as well, although I haven't researched all of those.
Heiser's study of Dugin has extensive quotes from the idealogue's own writings and from some of the translations and studies of him made to date. I've bookmarked some of those in my Kindle notes for those who are interested.
The main one to highlight is:
Dugin's path from occultism, Pamyat, New Bolshevism to his current Eurasianism philosophy is a chilling journey about the creation of a very dangerous idealogue who is likely chuckling at the current chaos in the American political system.
Trivia and Definitions
Immanentized Eschatology is basically trying to create the afterlife on earth. In the thoughts of idealogues it is equivalent to trying to create their idealized world in the present day.
