Synopsis

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a book by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume. This book has proven highly influential, both in the years that would immediately follow and today. Immanuel Kant points to it as the book which woke him from his self-described "dogmatic slumber".

The argument of the Enquiry proceeds by a series of incremental steps, separated into chapters which logically succeed one another. After expounding his epistemology, Hume explains how to apply his principles to specific topics.

    Confederate general Thomas Jonathan Jackson had been a virtual unknown upon his arrival at the front line of First Bull Run, but by the spring of 1862, thanks to his actions at that battle, “Stonewall” was already becoming known across the battlefields. Ultimately, it would be the Valley Campaign of 1862 that made him a legend.  
    	In the early months of 1862, Jackson was given command of an army numbering about 17,000 in the Shenandoah Valley. His task was daunting. The loss at Bull Run prompted a changing of the guard, with George B. McClellan, the “Young Napoleon”, put in charge of reorganizing and leading the Army of the Potomac. That spring, the Army of the Potomac conducted an ambitious amphibious invasion of Virginia’s Peninsula, circumventing the Confederate defenses to the north of Richmond by attacking Richmond from the southeast. 	General Johnston’s outnumbered army headed toward Richmond to confront McClellan, but the Union still had three armies totaling another 50,000 around the Shenandoah Valley, which represented a threat to Richmond from the north. It was these armies that Jackson would be tasked with stopping.  
    	Jackson would go on to lead his undermanned army through what military strategists and historians consider the most incredible campaign of the Civil War. From late March to early June, Jackson kept all three Union armies bottled up and separated from each other in the Shenandoah Valley by marching up and down the Valley about 650 miles in 50 days, earning his army the nickname “foot cavalry.”  
    Although Jackson is revered today as an almost ideal commander, a lot of his subordinates bristled under his leadership, believing not only that he asked too much but that he was too strict.

    Drawing from Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism, Wallace explores why people feel dissatisfied and discontent. His key argument is that we must let go of our desire for control and instead accept the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of life. 
    A significant portion of human unhappiness arises from being consumed by thoughts about the future—seeking assurance of a happy life on earth and, in some cases, in an afterlife. Many people turn to religion for this reassurance, believing it provides the answers to life’s uncertainties and promises salvation after death. Others chase material comforts, such as wealth and possessions, hoping these will provide lasting happiness and security. 
    However, neither approach guarantees the fulfillment we seek, as the future is unknowable—a mere abstraction filled with expectations and guesses. Moreover, the pursuit of a pain-free future is inherently flawed. Pleasure and pain are inseparable aspects of the human experience. One cannot exist without the other.

    Technology has transformed every aspect of modern life, reshaping the way people communicate, work, learn, and even think. The rapid evolution of digital tools, artificial intelligence, and automation has created new opportunities for innovation and progress. At the same time, it has introduced complex challenges, raising questions about privacy, security, and the ethical implications of technological advancement. While some argue that technology is a force for good, improving efficiency and convenience, others warn of its unintended consequences, such as addiction, misinformation, and social disconnection.  
      
    The digital revolution has promised to connect the world like never before, making information more accessible and enabling instant communication across continents. However, the same tools that foster global connectivity also contribute to a decline in real-world interactions. Social media platforms, for example, offer a space for people to share ideas, but they have also been linked to mental health issues, cyberbullying, and the spread of false information. Additionally, concerns about surveillance and data privacy have grown, as companies and governments collect vast amounts of personal information, often without users' full awareness or consent.  
      
    Another major area of technological impact is the workforce. Automation and artificial intelligence are changing the job market, replacing certain human roles while creating new ones. While these advancements increase efficiency and reduce costs, they also raise concerns about job displacement and economic inequality. Many industries, from manufacturing to customer service, have seen a shift toward AI-driven processes, leaving workers struggling to adapt. At the same time, some experts believe that technology can enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, leading to a future where humans and machines collaborate rather than compete.

    When you think of 'gambling' you might think of Vegas casinos, betting shops and football flutters but the risk of gambling is embedded in numerous corners of popular culture that many of us consume.
    By considering the concept of 'soft gambling', No Dice asks how we could possibly link the Pokémon Trading Card Game with gambling. Can we compare Netflix to a night at the theatre? When does fictional gambling within video games go too far with their infamous loot boxes? Does such risk affect everyone or are socio-economic divides driving further inequality?
    No Dice explores the messy world of gambling and risk that we encounter regularly, from childhood through adulthood, considering if it is worth the risk and if we even know what risks we might be taking.

    Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies, integral to the exercise of individual autonomy and the pursuit of truth. At its core, it is the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government reprisal or censorship. This principle is enshrined in numerous legal documents, most notably the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees "the freedom of speech, or of the press," protecting the individual’s right to speak openly in the public sphere. 
      
    The origins of free speech can be traced back to philosophical and political thinkers of the Enlightenment era, who emphasized the importance of reason, individual rights, and personal liberty. Thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, and John Stuart Mill argued that the free exchange of ideas was essential for the flourishing of society, allowing for the progress of knowledge, the correction of errors, and the protection of political freedom. These ideas laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of free expression as a fundamental human right. 
      
    However, the right to free speech is not absolute. Throughout history, the boundaries of this freedom have been tested by a wide range of societal, political, and ethical concerns. From the regulation of speech in times of war or national security threats to the ongoing debates over hate speech, defamation, and misinformation, societies have struggled to find a balance between protecting free expression and safeguarding the common good. This tension continues to shape the debate surrounding free speech, particularly in the context of emerging technologies like social media, which have transformed the landscape of communication.
