This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whoever has the Right of Sapiens, the one must assume the Duty of Sapiens equally and co-equally... Whoever assumes the Right and Duty of Sapiens alike must become a Dimension of Sapiens, which Dimension of Sapiens must be a maximum generality of Determination of Sapiens... When the Law / Duty of Sapiens, when the Size / Determination of Sapiens are deeply set and attuned to the Destiny of Sapiens, then this whole Field of Sapiens in Coming and Becoming, this Cult of Sapiens, this Forum of Sapiens, must always be regenerated and revitalized by all creators and authors in Sapiens, in science, in technology, in economics, in art, in sociology, in historiography, in mediology, in philosophy, in psychology, in theology, as re-sensing and resuscitation of Sapiens, for the fulfillment of Sapient of Sapiens, towards the Self-Overcoming of Sapiens, as individuality, as generality and as syncretic universality, all as synonymous with the triad of Nature de Sapiens, the Cult of Sapiens and the Culture of Sapiens, the only planetary Species capable of creating human and SapientoHuman civilizations, thus blessing the universe, the nature and itself through its logicality and ontology... In Debt of Sapiens Duty of Sapiens, we will take over critically, syncretically, synthetically and analytically, the great meanings of ennobling the creative being in the Law of Sapiens, which will be amplified and accelerated to launch into the orbits of spirituality and creativity of Sapiens as EnnobledSapiens, or Sapiens-Enriched, BereicherungSapiens, or Sapiens through Sapiens, all as a source and resource of the sapientic self in its immanence and transcendence, through which Sapiens reveals oneself as a proud creator and explorer of verses, of universes, of adversities, of causalities and temporospatialities for self-transcendence, through effort, through study, through becoming, through differentiation, through creation, assuming a triad of physical – biophysical – metaphysical, reunited in their duality of videological and digital expression...

Book excerpt: New York Times Readers’ Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21st Century New York Times Bestseller A Summer Reading Pick for President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.
Download or read book Homo Deus written by Yuval Noah Harari and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.

Download or read book Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 written by Yuval Noah Harari and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ebook is designed to be read on devices with large color displays The Kindle edition is incompatible with iOS. See below for a list of supported devices. This second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution—when humans fell into a trap we’ve yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns. What if humanity’s major woes—war, plague, famine and inequality—originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History–The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition. But it’s not all doom and gloom with this book’s cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating the impact the Agricultural Revolution has had on our species. The cunning Mephisto shows them how to ensnare humans, King Hammurabi lays down the law, and Confucius explains harmonious society. The origins of modern farming are introduced through Elizabethan tragedy; the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News; the story of urbanization is portrayed as a travel brochure, offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China; and the history of inequality unfolds in a superhero detective story; with guest appearances by historical and cultural personalities throughout such as Thomas Jefferson, Scarlett O'Hara, Margaret Thatcher, and John Lennon. Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 is a radical, witty and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for adults and young adults, and can be read on its own or in sequence with Volume I.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Rachel Carson Environment Book Award * Winner of the 2022 Science in Society Journalism Award (Books) * Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize “Thoughtful, insightful, and wise, Wild Souls is a landmark work.”--Ed Yong, author of An Immense World "Fascinating . . . hands-on philosophy, put to test in the real world . . . Marris believes that our idea of wildness--our obsession with purity--is misguided. No animal remains untouched by human hands . . . the science isn't the hard part. The real challenge is the ethics, the act of imagining our appropriate place in that world." --Outside Magazine From an acclaimed environmental writer, a groundbreaking and provocative new vision for our relationships with--and responsibilities toward--the planet's wild animals. Protecting wild animals and preserving the environment are two ideals so seemingly compatible as to be almost inseparable. But in fact, between animal welfare and conservation science there exists a space of underexamined and unresolved tension: wildness itself. When is it right to capture or feed wild animals for the good of their species? How do we balance the rights of introduced species with those already established within an ecosystem? Can hunting be ecological? Are any animals truly wild on a planet that humans have so thoroughly changed? No clear guidelines yet exist to help us resolve such questions. Transporting readers into the field with scientists tackling these profound challenges, Emma Marris tells the affecting and inspiring stories of animals around the globe--from Peruvian monkeys to Australian bilbies, rare Hawai'ian birds to majestic Oregon wolves. And she offers a companionable tour of the philosophical ideas that may steer our search for sustainability and justice in the non-human world. Revealing just how intertwined animal life and human life really are, Wild Souls will change the way we think about nature-and our place within it.

Book excerpt: The Sniper Mind from David Amerland is the first book to examine the learned skills necessary to become a sniper and teach readers how to apply those skills in business and in life. Snipers are exceptional. The trained sniper is a complex fusion of hard skills such as weapons knowledge, situational awareness, knowledge of ballistics and physics, and soft skills such as emotional stability, empathy, and a stoic acceptance of the hardships associated with a particular set of circumstances. There are countless instances where a single sniper, embarking on a secret mission, would have to improvise, operate beyond any hope of support, and yet still manage to carry out the mission and get back home unharmed even though the enemy was actively hunting him. For the first time ever, The Sniper Mind reveals the practical steps that allow a sniper’s brain to work in this superhuman precise, calculated way. It teaches readers how to understand and apply these steps, whether they are stuck in a cubicle facing mounting piles of work or sitting in a corner office making industry-defining decisions. Through the explanation of advanced military training techniques and cutting-edge neuroscience, David Amerland's book provides concrete strategies and real-world skills that can help us be better: -At our jobs -In our relationships -In our executive decision making -In the paths we choose to take through life By learning how snipers teach their minds to eliminate fears and deal with uncertainty we can also develop the mental toughness we need to achieve the goals that seem to elude us in business as well as in life.

Book Synopsis The World Until Yesterday by : Jared Diamond
Download or read book The World Until Yesterday written by Jared Diamond and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel surveys the history of human societies to answer the question: What can we learn from traditional societies that can make the world a better place for all of us? “As he did in his Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond continues to make us think with his mesmerizing and absorbing new book." Bookpage Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday—in evolutionary time—when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years—a past that has mostly vanished—and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today. This is Jared Diamond’s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn’t romanticize traditional societies—after all, we are shocked by some of their practices—but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. Provocative, enlightening, and entertaining, The World Until Yesterday is an essential and fascinating read.

Book excerpt: ...Causes and Spaces and Temporalities and Viral Pathologies, extremely difficult for man, for the human being, for humanity in general, for Sapiento-Humanity in all its feelings and expressions, all pathologized by pandemics, by ruins in industries and economies, of immense political and social and military and moral chaos, of climatic and natural social and cultural convulsions, of ethical collapses into injustices and hyper-injustices, of financial collapses, of overwhelms of irrationality and over-irrationality, of avalanches of unnaturalness and tsunamis of immorality, which day by day, täglich und stündlich accentuates the sinking and collapsing negations in Kali Yuga of the multiplied and multimedia evils that have flooded the blue planet lately... ...In this historical hour of disasters accumulated and cumulated and amplified and accelerated for decades and decades, especially after the Second World War, World War Two, WWII (20th Century, Period 1945-2021), in these critical moments of planetary destiny, ErdeSternStunde, in these moments of great questioning of the species Sapiens, Erhebliche Fragezeichen der Menschheit, I try, by my own powers, obviously modest, Selbstverständlich-bescheidendekräfte, to revalue, Umwertung aller Werte, through the triad INFORMATION - INSPIRATION - INTUITION (symbolized in the 3IN triad), with the hope of a retreat or revitalization, even partial, to the overwhelming and threatening realities of the present, from this beginning of the Third Decade of the First Millennium, 2021, the Third Decade, of the First Century of the Third Millennium, 2021… Our Mediology, our Multimedia and MultiMediology, is in its essence a philosophy of the triad INFORMATION - INSPIRATION - INTUITION, so a triad of 3IN, through which any information in the sphere of Human Sapient, becomes both creative and developing inspiration, and distributing intuition, realizing the REVELATION OF SAPIENS, therefore, always relating and correlating to the Great Reality of Species or the Great Reality of Sapiens, revealing it, and self-revealing it, therefore all 3IN being correlated to the Big Reality of Species Sapiens, by revitalizing it, by setting its ontological quantum within the big forces of the Universe oneself, through a triad of SELFNESS, as self-organization, as self-regulation, as self-replication... The philosophy of our Mediology (or MultiMediology), which becomes a kind of galleon book of the catastrophic present in Human Sapient, so MultiMediology of Human Sapient will do everything in correlating Cosmology – Biology and Ontology within the sameness of Species, by revealing it by self – revealing it, as a revelation of biology and intelligibility, of matter and light, of spirit and sensations, Geist und Sinnlichkeit... Please, don’t be scared, I’m not a pessimist or an extra-pessimist, I’m not a desastrionist, or a disastrologist, or a sinistrologist or a catastrophologist, or an apocalyptologist or an armageddonologist, because I’m a realist, a moderate optimist, and I think, just a deep rationalist, but what is happening in the world, in man, in human, in Human Sapient, in these first decades of Millennium Three, MNIII, exceed all the limits of normal, rational and balances of morality, all the limitations of common sense and good human conduct or Human Sapient conduct and behavior... ...We are as an individual and a community, clearly entering the world of evil and darkness, the world of dramatic surrealism, reflected by the Hindu theological concept KALI-YUGA, the world of generalized, viral and moral diseases (Covid is the pandemic of immoral human, a pathology of human in all directions, and, the possible sign of a divine revelation), in the world of bacterial and pathogenic diseases etiological, globalized and generalized of Covido-Human, which is the symmetry of ontogenic and psychogenic diseases, from this human reflected in its maximum Human Sapient, naming here man as the over-exploiter and over-exhauster of all planetary sources and resources, namely them fuel, water, air, soil, subsoil, atmosphere, lithosphere and ionosphere, natural fuel fire extinguisher, natural resources, by reaching to the limit of his own self-extinction, of self-flagellating in vulnerabilities, fragility and co-morbidities, all in endlessly collapsing, at loggerheads of Human with oneself... Human Sapient is hitting by its own himself / herself, Human Sapient is self-suffocating and self-disorganizing, developing a severe pathologizing correspondent of the Entropic Being, EntropicsBeing / EntropischeDasein, becoming now, by far, its own first enemy, Homo homini lupus est... The Human, the Sapient-into-Human, is devouring himself/ herself, as in the tragedies of the ancient worlds, exemplified through Ouroburos Sapientic that bites itself in times and spaces, that develops and expands, both in digitization and virtualization, and in its own DeSapientization... ...We have clearly entered into the battles of the Species, the battles of Sapiens, the Moiria / Fatum destiny of Sapiens, in which the human, the Sapiento-homospheres are fighting, are conflicting with the geological lithospheres, with the biological hydrosphere, with the accompanying and orbiting atmospheres and cosmospheres, but with all, in extreme sharpening against themselves. The human being fights primarily with the Sapiento-Human homosphere, so a struggle of the Sapiens within oneself, which also has heights (few, very few), but especially falls, falls and falls, a cascade of viral wars, of military wars, of migratory wars - pathologies all associated with hurricanes of water and fire and terrorism, with earthquakes and volcanoes, with tornadoes and flashes of anger and cosmological, geological, climatological and biological rages, with human catastrophe, by having in this catastrophic center, the Human Sapient, as trigger, as accelerator and amplifier of biological and ontological self-extinction and, threatening the entire biotope and biorhythm of the planet, but essentially threatening itself, becoming the pathological center Corona of the mutant through Delta-variants and the Omicron super-mutant, numbered by the fateful number 8.1.1.529... Oh! You know! It seems that you have appeared on the stage of the planetary world through yourself, synergizing creation and evolution alike, in these CREVO huge complexities, and possibly disappearing from the stage of the cosmo-planetary world, also through yourself, through your self-extinct dramatic destiny!... God! How you came, that’s how you go!... Right of Sapiens
Book Synopsis Human Nature & Jewish Thought by : Alan L. Mittleman
Download or read book Human Nature & Jewish Thought written by Alan L. Mittleman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Jewish tradition can teach us about human dignity in a scientific age This book explores one of the great questions of our time: How can we preserve our sense of what it means to be a person while at the same time accepting what science tells us to be true—namely, that human nature is continuous with the rest of nature? What, in other words, does it mean to be a person in a world of things? Alan Mittleman shows how the Jewish tradition provides rich ways of understanding human nature and personhood that preserve human dignity and distinction in a world of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, biotechnology, and pervasive scientism. These ancient resources can speak to Jewish, non-Jewish, and secular readers alike. Science may tell us what we are, Mittleman says, but it cannot tell us who we are, how we should live, or why we matter. Traditional Jewish thought, in open-minded dialogue with contemporary scientific perspectives, can help us answer these questions. Mittleman shows how, using sources ranging across the Jewish tradition, from the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud to more than a millennium of Jewish philosophy. Among the many subjects the book addresses are sexuality, birth and death, violence and evil, moral agency, and politics and economics. Throughout, Mittleman demonstrates how Jewish tradition brings new perspectives to—and challenges many current assumptions about—these central aspects of human nature. A study of human nature in Jewish thought and an original contribution to Jewish philosophy, this is a book for anyone interested in what it means to be human in a scientific age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today’s most pressing issues. “Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PAMELA PAUL, KQED How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive. In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis? Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading. “If there were such a thing as a required instruction manual for politicians and thought leaders, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century would deserve serious consideration. In this collection of provocative essays, Harari . . . tackles a daunting array of issues, endeavoring to answer a persistent question: ‘What is happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of these events?’”—BookPage (top pick)
Download or read book Cosmosapiens written by John Hands and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A critical overview of scientific orthodoxy in an attempt to answer the fundamental questions “what are we?” and “why are we here?” (Kirkus Reviews). Specialist scientific fields are developing at incredibly swift speeds, but what can they really tell us about how the universe began and how we as humans evolved to play such a dominant role on Earth? John Hands’s extraordinarily ambitious book merges scientific knowledge from multiple disciplines and evaluates without bias or preconception all the theories and evidence about the origin and evolution of matter, consciousness, and mankind. The result, a “pearl of dialectical reasoning” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), provides the most comprehensive account yet of current ideas such as cosmic inflation, dark energy, the selfish gene, and neurogenetic determinism. In the clearest possible prose, it differentiates the firmly established from the speculative and examines the claims of various fields to approach a unified theory of everything. In doing so it challenges the orthodox consensus in those branches of cosmology, biology, and neuroscience that have ossified into dogma. Its “shocking and invigorating” analysis (Daily Telegraph, A Best Science Book of 2015) reveals underlying patterns of cooperation, complexification, and convergence that lead to the unique emergence in humans of a self-reflective consciousness that enables us to determine our future evolution. This groundbreaking book is destined to become a classic of scientific thinking. Praise for Cosmosapiens “This is a truly exceptional piece of work.” —Tim Crane, Knightsbridge Professor of Philosophy, The University of Cambridge “A game-changer. In the tradition of Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, this lucidly written, penetrating analysis challenges us to rethink many things we take for granted about ourselves, our society, and our universe. It will become a classic.” —Peter Dreier, E P Clapp Distinguished Professor of Politics, Occidental College “Hands is an astute observer of recent trends in scientific ideas bold enough to point out what he sees as sense and nonsense and intelligently explain why. Even in cases where one might disagree, the arguments are thought-provoking.” —Paul Steinhardt, Albert Einstein Professor in Science, Princeton University
