Brooding Over Bloody Revenge -...

Nikki M. Taylor

From the colonial through the antebellum era, enslaved women in the US used lethal force as the ultimate form of resistance. By amplifying their voices and experiences, Brooding over Bloody Revenge strongly challenges assumptions that enslaved women only participated in covert, non-violent forms of resistance, when in fact they consistently seized justice for themselves and organized toward revolt. Nikki M. Taylor expertly reveals how women killed for deeply personal instances of injustice committed by their owners. The stories presented, which span centuries and legal contexts, demonstrate that these acts of lethal force were carefully pre-meditated. Enslaved women planned how and when their enslavers would die, what weapons and accomplices were necessary, and how to evade capture in the aftermath. Original and compelling, Brooding Over Bloody Revenge presents a window into the lives and philosophies of enslaved women who had their own ideas about justice and how to achieve it.

Mind Refreshed - The Ancient...

Sam Kneller

Mental Health, specifically anxiety, is the number one health issue worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This mind-illness is a tragic situation, but what is even more tragic is science, philosophy, and religion don't know what the mind is! How can you expect to alleviate anxiety when you don't understand the foundation?
Mind Refreshed broaches the crux of the matter. This book is a practical workbook following Sam Kneller's Mind-Body Problem Solved, where he explains what consciousness and mind are based on theology. Genesis 2:7 says God breathed neshama (the breath of life) into each human. This is consciousness. Job 32:8 reveals there's a second spirit in humans, the ruach. These two spirits work intimately to confer on humans their humanity.
Humanity can be summarized by the five traits of consciousness each human possesses: Reasoning, Purpose, Conduct, Socialization, and Rulership. When these traits are in alignment, there is a sense of peacefulness; the opposite leads to anxiety.
The key point to remember is that this mental makeup applies to all human beings regardless of race, beliefs, or gender. The solution to anxiety is Biblical, but it applies to all people because everyone possesses consciousness and a mind. Every person is diverse because each of us uses or misuses the above five traits differently.
Alleviating anxiety involves identifying the most manageable barriers to hurdle in these five areas of our lives and replacing them with doorways to walk through. The real question is, what are the doorways, and where do we find them?
Mind Refreshed reveals this. It is a practical workbook that will help you alleviate your anxiety slowly but surely and replace it with the peace you crave.

The Ad Hominem Fallacy -...

William Rands

Logical integrity forms the bedrock of meaningful communication and rational discourse. It represents the commitment to sound reasoning, free from fallacies and emotional manipulations, and ensures that arguments are evaluated based on their merits rather than irrelevant distractions. In a world increasingly influenced by misinformation, polarized debates, and the rise of social media as a dominant platform for discussion, maintaining logical integrity is not merely an intellectual exercise but a societal necessity. 
Logical integrity ensures that debates and discussions remain focused on the issues at hand rather than devolving into personal attacks or irrelevant diversions. It creates a framework where ideas can be contested on their validity, fostering environments that encourage growth, understanding, and the pursuit of truth. Without this foundation, discourse often degenerates into conflict, with positions hardened by bias and arguments obscured by fallacies. 
One of the most pervasive threats to logical integrity is the ad hominem fallacy, a rhetorical misstep that attacks the individual rather than addressing the argument itself. This fallacy undermines productive discourse by shifting attention away from the substance of the debate and toward irrelevant or personal criticisms. The prevalence of ad hominem attacks, especially in modern communication platforms like social media, highlights a troubling trend: the erosion of logical integrity in public and private discourse alike.
