  Lincoln But Trump - Narrative...

  THE NARRATIVE DIAGNOSIS: I have some bad news for you — your AF (AND Frequency) is a bloated 3.8%, your N.I. (Narrative Index, BUT/AND ratio) is an anemic 4. There’s a real risk of you boring an audience to death. 
  The ABT Narrative Template, already famous for its use in “Cat Herding" and “silo busting," now has two very powerful metrics — the AF and the NI. 
  In this ground-breaking and original book, Lincoln But Trump, Randy Olson introduces a whole new quantitative component to both narrative structure and, crucial for today’s world, messaging. 
  Here, for the first time ever, are two very simple but powerful “narrative metrics” that now make possible the “narrative diagnosis” of content. The metrics do for storytelling the same thing a doctor does to assess your health — i.e. they tell you if you have a problem. 
  Is it quackery for simpletons? A fair question, but just look at the simple patterns that emerge, starting with the metrics for the legendary 1858 Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The data are as clear as "night and day" (the same comparison a reporter used to describe the two candidates). The results have been sitting there waiting to be discovered for 160 years. 
  It’s a whole new way to look at messaging and narrative strength for both the political and historical worlds. 
  - Park Howell, Host, The Business of Story Podcast 
  Following the basic ABT (And, But, Therefore) form that Olson has been researching for 15 years, he outlines the need for a quantitative approach. He introduces the two metrics, then applies them to the novel idea of, “Narrative Forensics” in which hypotheses can be tested by calculating the two metrics for various materials. 
  Using the two narrative metrics Olson shows how you can diagnose your own narrative strength, then work to improve it.

  The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

  Jeff Sebo

  Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
   
   
   
  In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
   
   
   
  This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.

  Biafra - History and Atrocities...

  Biafra, known officially as the Republic of Biafra, emerged as a separatist state in West Africa, enduring from May 1967 to January 1970 when it seceded from Nigeria. 
  Its territory encompassed the former eastern region of Nigeria, predominantly inhabited by the Igbo population, now divided into the present south-south and southeastern regions of Africa. Founded by Igbo nationalists, Biafra arose in response to a series of ethnic hostilities that erupted immediately after Nigeria gained independence in 1960, culminating in the 1966 massacres of Igbos and other southern ethnic groups residing in northern Nigeria. Following Biafra's declaration of independence in 1967, Nigeria's military initiated an attack on the country, sparking the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. 
  Gabon, Haiti, the Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia have all officially acknowledged Biafra. France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia, South Africa, and the Vatican City were among the countries that withheld recognition from Biafra but provided support and assistance. 
  Biafra received aid from non-state entities such as Joint Church Aid, foreign mercenaries, the Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, and Caritas International under their guidance, as well as the United States Catholic Relief Services. In response to the suffering, Médecins Sans Frontières was founded.

  You will be thrilled to find a book that answers what happened to America so you can help heal our beloved country. In 1995, Karen Horwitz, aka the CHANGE EVERYTHING TEACHER, discovered our schools suffered from the 'Harvey Weinstein syndrome'—the powerful get their way no matter how wicked until someone finds the courage to expose them. She wrote a memoir to do to those running our schools what that brave actress who testified against Weinstein did — expose and end wrongdoing of a different kind. Readers will learn why we have school shootings and how to end them and restore democracy.She names the corruption that transformed our schools from revered institutions to mere shells White Chalk Crime™ and reveals how it dismantled democracy. The sheer audacity and disbelief of this corruption prompted her to write a book so that citizens could comprehend its extent. She warns, "There are consequences for a society that allows evil an honored home. One is school shootings, which are the tip of the democracy-destroying iceberg, taking our country down Titanic-style. Abraham Lincoln warned, 'The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.'  When I taught, it was as if  Trump ran our schools."She reveals that those in power secretly thwart school reform and presents an 'idea invention' that will revolutionize education as Jeff Bezos did to marketing and Steve Jobs to computers. It includes a blueprint for top-notch schools that ensures a home for great teachers and tells about a grassroots movement for change.This book is a beacon of hope, showing that change is within reach. It inspires the reader to feel optimistic about the future of education and democracy. This engaging and insightful book on education takes those who cherish democracy and fear autocracy on a journey deep inside our schools, where the root of many of this nation's challenges lies. It will change a whole lot. PDFs at WhiteChalkCrime.com/audio
