Summary

"Accidental Comedy" explores the surprising role of unintentional humor in shaping history and politics. From political blunders to courtroom mishaps, the book examines how these moments can alter perceptions and influence outcomes. It highlights how even carefully constructed narratives can be undermined by the absurd. For instance, a politician's gaffe can reveal vulnerabilities, while a humorous exchange in court can challenge the intended control. The book delves into the dynamics of accidental humor in political discourse and legal settings, demonstrating the instability of formal systems. It argues that unintentional comedy offers a valuable lens for examining power dynamics and the fallibility of institutions. By analyzing archival records of political speeches and transcripts of legal proceedings, the book reveals the human element often overlooked in formal systems. The book begins by introducing a theoretical framework, then explores case studies of political gaffes and courtroom mishaps. It concludes by synthesizing these observations into a broader argument about the role of unintended humor in shaping historical and political narratives. This unique approach moves beyond recounting funny stories to reveal the underlying dynamics and broader consequences of accidental comedy.

    North America was not empty nor were its inhabitants savages when Europeans arrived in 1492. Quite the opposite, North America was thickly populated by indigenous people who lived in clean cities, had a thriving economy, and transformed the landscape into bountiful productivity. Forgotten Landscapes reveals the incredible extent to which Native Americans manipulated and shaped their surrounding environs through agricultural practices and urban engineering, resulting in one of the most prosperous civilizations of their time.Well before European contact, North American cities and villages were bound together by an intricate trade network. Today, Spiro Mound in rural Oklahoma is a few piles of dirt, not on the road to anywhere. But at the time of the Mississippian civilization, about a thousand years ago, it was one of the largest cities in the world. With the controlled use of fire, Native Americans had transformed thick forests into open woodlands and expanded the ranges of prairies. Through organized hunting, Natives controlled the populations of prey animals such as passenger pigeons, and when Native populations grew large enough, they developed agriculture including irrigated crops, and even orchards. In this fascinating and overdue book, author Stanley A. Rice shows his audience the Pre-Columbian landscape of America that has been largely forgotten.

    Doomsday headlines warn that the age of "killer robots" is upon us, and that new military technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to the annihilation of the human race. What's fact and what's fiction? In The Case for Killer Robots: Why America's Military Needs to Continue Development of Lethal AI, artificial intelligence expert Robert J. Marks investigates the potential military use of lethal AI and examines the practical and ethical challenges. Marks provocatively argues that the development of lethal AI is not only appropriate in today's society—it is unavoidable if America wants to survive and thrive into the future. Dr. Marks directs the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute, and he is a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor University. This short monograph is produced in conjunction with the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence, which can be visited at centerforintelligence.org.
