Summary

Revolution Triggers explores the multifaceted origins of revolutions, arguing they arise from the convergence of eroded political legitimacy, stark economic inequality, and fractured social cohesion. The book posits that revolutions aren't spontaneous outbursts but rather the culmination of deep-seated systemic failures. Consider, for example, how a government perceived as corrupt can lose the trust of its citizens, or how vast wealth disparities can fuel resentment and instability.

 
The book examines historical events like the French and Russian Revolutions to illustrate these principles, offering a sociological perspective. It progresses by first defining revolution and then systematically analyzing the erosion of political legitimacy, the exacerbation of economic inequality, and the breakdown of social cohesion across different chapters. This approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of political, economic, and social factors, providing a framework for assessing the risk of revolution in various societies.

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, venture-capitalist and video-game pioneer Rizwan Virk asks whether we are living in a material universe or a simulated one. Are we living in a massive, multiplayer, online, role-playing game where our deeds and quests are being kept track of in the “cloud?” Is an angel recording our lives? If so, who is running the game? Why, if it is a video game, why don’t we choose bliss? And what is the connection between computer science, video game physics, and the great spiritual traditions?

  • The History of Midtown Manhattan’s Most Famous Buildings - cover

    The History of Midtown...

    Of all the great cities in the world, few personify their country like New York City. As America’s largest city and best known immigration gateway into the country, the Big Apple represents the beauty, diversity and sheer strength of the United States, a global financial center that has enticed people chasing the “American Dream” for centuries. 
Given that history, it’s no surprise that New Yorkers have always wanted to construct the biggest and best structures possible, even in the early 1930s at the height of the Great Depression. Indeed, those years produced the Empire State Building, which remains the city’s most iconic building, but New York’s most famous skyscraper wouldn’t have been possible without the Chrysler Building, a landmark in its own right that was the tallest building in the world for nearly a year before its more famous counterpart’s completion. In fact, the spirit of competition between the groups working on the two buildings helped ensure that both look like they do today, and the Chrysler Building only reached the height it did because a large skyscraper at 40 Wall Street was also trying to claim the mantle of tallest building at the same time. 
The Chrysler Building was the first man-made object to surpass 1,000 feet in height, and while it has been surpassed by considerably taller projects since, it remains the largest steel-supported brick building in the world. Although it has since been sold to new groups, the name has remained, and the Chrysler Building continues to be a conspicuous part of the skyline in Midtown. 
The Empire State Building was constructed using the Art Deco style, which was trendy during the era and had been used for other skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building, but that’s where the comparisons end, because the Empire State Building was unprecedented in almost every aspect at the time of its creation.

    Don't Trust Your Gut - Using...

    Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is as good a data storyteller as I have ever met.” — Steven Levitt, co-author, Freakonomics 
Big decisions are hard. We consult friends and family, make sense of confusing “expert” advice online, maybe we read a self-help book to guide us. In the end, we usually just do what feels right, pursuing high stakes self-improvement—such as who we marry, how to date, where to live, what makes us happy—based solely on what our gut instinct tells us. But what if our gut is wrong? Biased, unpredictable, and misinformed, our gut, it turns out, is not all that reliable. And data can prove this. 
In Don’t Trust Your Gut, economist, former Google data scientist, and New York Times bestselling author Seth Stephens-Davidowitz reveals just how wrong we really are when it comes to improving our own lives. In the past decade, scholars have mined enormous datasets to find remarkable new approaches to life’s biggest self-help puzzles. Data from hundreds of thousands of dating profiles have revealed surprising successful strategies to get a date; data from hundreds of millions of tax records have uncovered the best places to raise children; data from millions of career trajectories have found previously unknown reasons why some rise to the top. 
Telling fascinating, unexpected stories with these numbers and the latest big data research, Stephens-Davidowitz exposes that, while we often think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers disagree. Hard facts and figures consistently contradict our instincts and demonstrate self-help that actually works—whether it involves the best time in life to start a business or how happy it actually makes us to skip a friend’s birthday party for a night of Netflix on the couch. From the boring careers that produce the most wealth, to the old-school, data-backed relationship advice so well-worn it’s become a literal joke, he unearths the startling conclusions that the right data can teach us about who we are and what will make our lives better. 
Lively, engrossing, and provocative, the end result opens up a new world of self-improvement made possible with massive troves of data. Packed with fresh, entertaining insights, Don’t Trust Your Gut redefines how to tackle our most consequential choices, one that hacks the market inefficiencies of life and leads us to make smarter decisions about how to improve our lives. Because in the end, the numbers don’t lie.
