  The In-Group Bias - Favoring...

  In-group bias is a psychological phenomenon where individuals favor members of their own group over those belonging to other groups. This bias is rooted in the human tendency to classify people into various social categories, such as race, religion, nationality, or even less obvious distinctions like political affiliation or sports team loyalty. Once these distinctions are made, individuals typically develop a sense of belonging and loyalty to their own group—the "in-group"—while viewing outsiders, or "out-group" members, as different or inferior. 
  At its core, in-group bias serves a functional purpose in social behavior. Evolutionarily, humans have relied on social groups for survival, and belonging to a cohesive group provided benefits such as shared resources, protection, and mutual support. However, as societies evolved and became more complex, these group dynamics also gave rise to preferential treatment of those within the same group. This is not limited to obvious groups like tribes or clans but can extend to any group with which an individual identifies. Whether through shared beliefs, common goals, or even simple social interactions, in-group bias manifests in everyday life, influencing decisions, relationships, and behaviors. 
  In-group bias is a key concept in social psychology because it highlights how much of human behavior is shaped by the need for social belonging. This bias leads to favoritism in various aspects of life, from workplace promotions and academic opportunities to political support and even everyday social interactions. The impact of in-group bias can be subtle, such as favoring a colleague over an outsider for a minor task, or more overt, such as discrimination against individuals from a different ethnic background.

  Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

  A Better Black Wall Street is a book that focuses on a movement to create a robust economic system for Black Americans and those in need. The book delves into Business Transparency, emphasizing Trust, Integrity, Openness, and more. The goal of leveraging technology, communication, and AI is to foster unity through interviews, discussions, storytelling, and the reinvention of true brotherhood and sisterhood to maintain a strong sense of community. Learning from the past, we create a protective shield around us, keeping our memories fresh about the hindrances others have placed in our path to success, including those we have imposed on ourselves. To truly understand the necessity of this movement, one must reflect on the historical challenges and systemic barriers that Black Americans have encountered in their pursuit of economic success. This movement seeks to empower individuals by instilling a sense of self-worth and pride and encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation in adversity. Through collaboration and shared experiences, we aim to build a supportive network that uplifts and celebrates the achievements of the Black community, paving the way for a brighter and more equitable future for all.

  The Sentinel State -...

  China watchers long argued that economic liberalization and prosperity would be harbingers of democracy. Instead, the Communist Party's grip has strengthened. How? The answer lies in the effectiveness of the surveillance state. And the source of that effectiveness is not just facial recognition AI and phone tracking. Technology is important, but what matters more is China's vast army of domestic spies.Central government surveillance data is confidential, so Minxin Pei turned to local reports, police gazettes, leaked documents, and interviews with exiled dissidents to provide a detailed look at the evolution, organization, and tactics of the surveillance state. Following the 1989 Tiananmen uprising, the Party invested in a coercive apparatus operated by a small number of secret police capable of mobilizing millions of citizen informants. The Party's Leninist bureaucratic structure—whereby officials and activists penetrate every sector of the economy and civil society, from universities to delivery companies to monasteries—ensures that Beijing's eyes and ears are everywhere.Rigorously empirical and rich in historical insight, The Sentinel State is a singular contribution to our knowledge about Chinese state coercion and, more generally, the survival strategies of authoritarian regimes.
