- 1394: Inventions and Their Importance
- ... industry-processes and products. The majority of economic inventions collaborate with one another; a lot of things were invented to make other inventions work.

- 1395: Why Drugs Should Be Legalized!!!!
- ... crimes such as murder, rape, and assault.

- 1397: Voltaire and Machiavelli
