  Intellectual Anarchy - The Art...

  So how do we move the future from the distant horizon to the present day? We need Intellectual Anarchy. 
  The accelerating challenges facing our planet—such as climate change, food scarcity, sustainable energy, overpopulation, nuclear proliferation, income inequality, and rising healthcare costs—are solvable. The question is not if, but when. 
  All these challenges directly impact our lives and our unwritten future. They have enormous economic consequences for humans and society. They also provide incredible opportunities for investors and innovators. This is a book about how we can find disruptive solutions to hard problems, problems so difficult that they can seem impossible. Problems of that magnitude demand radical new ideas—an incremental approach won’t work. Their solutions seemingly come out of left field, defying conventional wisdom, and overturning existing industries, practices, and business models. 
  This book details the Intellectual Anarchy methodology followed at Oceanit for generating disruptive solutions to these problems and taking them from the idea stage all the way to market—Mind-to-Market, including financing innovations to overcome the scarcity of venture capital anywhere away from the conventional tech hubs. 
  Oceanit operates from Hawai‘i, the most remote location in the world. Yet today Oceanit works across the world with just about everybody—the US government, Fortune 100 companies, and more than sixty universities—partnering and collaborating as we research, invent, and produce technology in energy, aerospace, life sciences, information technology, sustainability, and resiliency. 
  If Oceanit’s Intellectual Anarchy model works in Hawai‘i, it can work anywhere.

  The American way of life is imbued with an evident culture of consumerism and overconsumption. The American Dream has been linked to worldly attitudes and the belief that riches equals happiness. Growing trends in minimalism and the pursuit of happiness, on the other hand, are gaining traction and bringing to light issues such as overconsumption, the physical and mental impacts of clutter, and what actually brings joy.Increasing distractions in everyday life detract from our ability to pay attention and divert our attention from the events that genuinely count. Mindfulness has been shown in the past to be a helpful approach for reducing the deluge of worthless or damaging information. Individuals seeking increased well-being may also benefit from decluttering, according to anecdotal evidence.Is it possible that decluttering, like mindfulness, might increase overall happiness, tranquillity, and mental clarity? Is it true that decluttering boosts confidence, productivity, and relationship happiness? Is it true that decluttering lessens the value of material belongings and feelings of being overwhelmed by "stuff"? In this book, you will find all the answers you are looking for

  Laws of Ancient World Vol 1:...

  • 0

  Despite all of the imperfections present throughout Ancient Mesopotamian legislation, these laws of the ancient world are a priceless treasure influencing the history of judicial science.
  In ancient Mesopotamia, a written set of laws adopted by a ruler or his kingdom was quickly established as the foundational governing document. The emergence of royal decrees came about due to the special conditions surrounding the establishment and development of multiple federations due to war, coups, conquests, the formation of territorial and political treaties, the rise or fall in power of a particular ruler, or the rising supremacy of one ethnic group or another. 
  Contents:
  Chapter 1. Sources of Law: Mesopotamia
  Chapter 2. Code of Ur-Nammu (2100-2050 BC)
  Chapter 3. Code of Lipit-Ishtar (c.1870-1860 BC)
  Chapter 4. Code of Hammurabi
  Chapter 5. Judicial Precedent: The murder case in Nippur

  Big Words Small Ideas - From...

  If you’ve ever read a philosophy paper and wondered, “Did they really need that many syllables to say absolutely nothing?”—this book is for you. 
  Sophia Anne Blackwell, the wildly irreverent creator of the Cogito Ergo Nope! series, returns with her most hilariously scathing book yet: a no-holds-barred takedown of philosophy’s greatest (and most obscurantist) offenders. From the ancient Greeks who invented making things harder than they need to be, to French theorists who turned not making sense into a career, Big Words, Small Ideas traces the glorious tradition of intellectual smoke and mirrors with biting wit and actual clarity. 
  In this book, you’ll meet: 
  Plato, who decided the real world was just a sad knockoff of Ideas That Don’t Exist 
  Aristotle, who invented philosophical filing cabinets with seventeen drawers too many 
  Plotinus, who tried to write about the indescribable in several hundred pages 
  Kant, who made thinking about thinking so hard you’d wish you never started 
  Hegel, the man who weaponized run-on sentences 
  Heidegger, who wrote an entire book about Being without explaining what Being means 
  And a whole cast of modern academics who think obscurity = genius 
  With ruthless humor, surprising accuracy, and zero patience for jargon masquerading as depth, Blackwell takes you on a tour through the theater of philosophical absurdity—and dares to ask the forbidden question: What the hell are they actually talking about? 
  Whether you’re a recovering philosophy major, a curious outsider, or just someone who’s tired of pretending to understand Lacan, this book is your guide to 3,000 years of intellectual gaslighting—with jokes.
