The conclusions of this research were published in an article (see here), and were presented in various lectures over the years, whether in a seminar dedicated to New Age and Fantasy Literature at the Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem on April 17, 2005, or as a lecture for the students’ philosophy club (Phi-Club, A student program dealing with the entrepreneur philosophy) at Reichman University in Herzliya on 06/17/2024.
