Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

James Maxey

When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
Sample passages: 
From Chapter 1 
"Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
From Chapter 16 
"The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."

10-Minute Summary NEXUS: A Brief...

Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari poses a fundamental question: To what extent does information define the destiny of humanity? Since the dawn of civilization, information has been key to survival, social organization, and technological development. However, in the digital age, this question has taken on new significance: artificial intelligence has reached the capacity to process information autonomously and, in some cases, without human supervision.  
Harari draws an analogy with ancient myths that warned about the dangers of invoking uncontrollable powers. Just as Prometheus brought fire to humanity with unpredictable consequences, AI is seen as a powerful tool that could radically transform our way of life. Its influence on politics, the economy, and daily life is so profound that it could reshape the very foundations of civilization.
