  Denial - How We Hide Ignore and...

  Jared Del Rosso

  Donald Trump won the election; climate change isn't real; America is a color-blind country. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, why do so many of us refuse to admit the truth? Denial is so much a part of our lives that we deny its existence all the time. 
   
   
   
  In an easy-listening style that draws on examples from current events, politics, and pop culture, Del Rosso teases out the complexities of denial, from "not noticing" that someone has food stuck in their teeth, to companies that engage in widespread fraud, like Enron and Wells Fargo, to the much larger-scale denials of climate change or systemic racism. Del Rosso builds a fascinating typology of the forms and meanings of denial, exploring the behavior of those who refuse to acknowledge their actions, and what it means to live in a society where such lying, fraud, and corruption is commonplace. 
   
   
   
  In wide-ranging examples, Del Rosso explores the causes, strategies, and consequences of denial. When scandal hits and accusations of misconduct are made, he argues that individuals like Harvey Weinstein or Brett Kavanaugh, or organizations like the Catholic Church or Penn State, go through a series of moves to try to avoid accountability. He effectively argues that recognizing what denial looks like is the crucial first step in mitigating its effects on us and society as a whole.

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  “In the wild, the strong subjugate the weak. They take their food. They take their territory.” 
  I’ve lost control. I’m a commander, but my soldiers no longer respect me. It’s because of the new recruit…he’s making me weak. 
  I give him my food rations. I give him my money. Something about it feels right. When I look at his muscles, my eyes glaze over and rational thought becomes impossible. 
  He’s put me on a special diet—I’m becoming emaciated. This is the end of my military career. Everything I’ve built is slipping away. 
  I need to kneel before him. I need to spread my legs and accept my place in the male hierarchy.

  Why originalism is a flawed, incoherent, and dangerously ideological method of constitutional interpretation 
   
   
   
  Originalism, the view that the meaning of a constitutional provision is fixed when it is adopted, was once the fringe theory of a few extremely conservative legal scholars but is now a well-accepted mode of constitutional interpretation. Three of the Supreme Court's nine justices explicitly embrace the originalist approach, as do increasing numbers of judges in the lower courts. 
   
   
    
  Noted legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky gives a comprehensive analysis of the problems that make originalism unworkable as a method of constitutional interpretation. He argues that the framers themselves never intended constitutional interpretation to be inflexible and shows how it is often impossible to know what the "original intent" of any particular provision was. Perhaps worst of all, though its supporters tout it as a politically neutral and objective method, originalist interpretation tends to disappear when its results fail to conform to modern conservative ideology.

  "Man a Machine" by Julien Offray de La Mettrie is a provocative treatise from the Enlightenment period that challenges traditional distinctions between humans and machines. In this work, La Mettrie contends that humans are purely material beings, driven by their physical components, akin to complex machines. He argues that all human thought, emotion, and behavior can be understood in terms of mechanical and physiological principles, dismissing the idea of an immaterial soul. This materialist perspective, revolutionary at the time, stirred controversy as it confronted religious and philosophical views about human nature and the soul.
