  These are strange times.  A time of climate crises. Health crises. Collapsing systems. Influencers.  And yes - Jordan Peterson.We are currently living in a (Post) Peterson Paradigm. This book – 12 Rules for (Academic) Life - explores what has happened to teaching, learning and politics through this odd and chaotic time. Deploying feminism, this lens offers a glass-sharpened view of this moment in international higher education. It is organized through twelve mantras for a university sector searching for a purpose in this interregnum. A question of our time – through a climate emergency, a pandemic and polarized politics – is why Professor Jordan Peterson gained profile and notoriety. The Jordan Peterson moment commenced in September 2016 with his YouTube video, “Professor against political correctness,” and concluded with his debate with Slavoj Zizek on April 19, 2019. From this moment, his credibility was dented, if not destroyed.Jordan Peterson infused scholarly debates with Punch and Judy extremism and misunderstandings. Instead, this book offers research rather than certainty, interpretation rather than dogma, evidence rather than opinion, and theory rather than ‘moral truth.’ The goal is to recalibrate this (Post) Peterson Paradigm, to take stock of how this moment occurred, and how to create a revision of higher education.

  Bait and Switch - Offering...

  Cito Harder

  Deception is an inherent part of human interaction, deeply rooted in psychology and social dynamics. The bait-and-switch technique exploits fundamental cognitive biases, taking advantage of people’s expectations, desires, and trust. Understanding why people fall for deception provides insight into how bait-and-switch schemes function and why they can be so effective. 
  At the core of deception is the brain’s tendency to seek patterns and predict outcomes. When an individual is presented with an offer, their mind begins forming expectations based on past experiences and perceived credibility. If the offer aligns with their desires, they become emotionally invested before verifying all the details. This investment creates cognitive bias, making it harder for them to walk away when the offer changes. The stronger the initial attraction, the more difficult it becomes to reject the switch. 
  Another psychological factor that plays a significant role in deception is the principle of commitment and consistency. Once people commit to an idea, product, or opportunity, they feel an internal pressure to stay consistent with that commitment, even when circumstances change. This effect is particularly strong when the initial bait requires some effort on the part of the target—whether it's filling out forms, spending time researching, or even just mentally envisioning the benefits of the offer. By the time the switch occurs, many individuals feel compelled to follow through rather than admit they were deceived.

  The Digital Fourth Amendment -...

  When can the government read your email or monitor your web surfing? When can the police search your phone or copy your computer files? In the United States, the answers come from the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and its ban on "unreasonable searches and seizures." 
   
   
   
  The Digital Fourth Amendment takes the listener inside the legal world of how courts are interpreting the Fourth Amendment in the digital age. Computers, smartphones, and the Internet have transformed criminal investigations, and even a routine crime is likely to lead to digital evidence. But courts are struggling to apply old Fourth Amendment concepts to the new digital world. Mechanically applying old rules from physical investigations doesn't make sense, as it often leads to dramatic expansions of government power just based on coincidences of computer design. 
   
   
   
  The Digital Fourth Amendment shows how judges must craft new rules for the new world of digital evidence. It explains the challenges courts confront as they translate old protections to a new technological world, bringing the reader up to date on the latest cases and rulings. Informed by legal history and the latest technology, this book gives courts a blueprint for legal change with clear rules for courts to adopt to restore our constitutional rights in the computer age.
