Sinossi

Absurd Traffic Laws explores the peculiar world of traffic regulations, revealing how historical accidents, political influence, and bureaucratic inertia have led to rules that often defy logic. Many seemingly nonsensical regulations, such as rules about animals crossing roads or outdated speed limits, stem from historical precedents enshrined in legal codes. Political dynamics also play a crucial role; lobbying efforts by various interest groups can result in inefficient or even dangerous traffic laws. The book argues that existing traffic regulations aren't always based on safety or fairness but are unintended consequences of various pressures. Once a law is passed, bureaucratic inertia makes it difficult to change.

 
The book progresses by first introducing traffic law's history and principles, then examining specific examples of absurd laws and their origins, structured around historical legacies, political influences, and bureaucratic processes. This analysis offers a unique perspective by combining historical insights with political commentary, providing practical recommendations for a more rational and effective transportation system. By understanding these underlying causes, readers can advocate for traffic law reform and contribute to a more equitable system.

    Injustice, division, and suffering may loom large in this broken world, but you have the power to stand up for truth, unity, and healing. Join writer, motivational speaker, humanitarian, and NFL veteran Sam Acho as he gives you the courage you need to be a changemaker. 
    When gold is put into a crucible over a fire, the impurities (known as "dross") rise to the top. When faced with extreme heat, these precious metals are purified. Nothing about the metal’s essential makeup changes, but the impurities in them are brought to the surface, leaving behind precious gold. 
    America is in a crucible right now--and maybe you are, too. The pandemic has strained an already struggling economy, longstanding cultural and political divisions have reached a boiling point, and injustices have been brought into the spotlight in ways that we can no longer ignore. But the thing about crucibles is that they bring out both the worst and the best of us.

I can't wait for him to inspire you to take action in the same way he's inspired me."

    Creative Evolution

    Henri Bergson

    Henri Bergson’s highly influential book, ‘Creative Evolution’ (‘Evolution Creatrice’, 1907) established a theory of evolution - called ‘Creative Evolution Theory’ - which gained a considerable following in the first half of the 20th Century. It also helped the author to win the Nobel Prize in 1927 for his work investigating the origins of biological information and divergence in the evolutionary process.  
     
    In this work, Bergson seeks an alternative explanation as to how new forms of life emerge compared to those prevailing at the time. This included both the ‘mechanistic’ or deterministic explanations of biological science on the one hand, and on the other the ‘finalist’ or strictly teleological explanation of those who believed in the hand of a ‘Creator’ or God, coordinating life in a divine plan. 
     
    Creative Evolution proposes a third explanation in what Bergson calls élan vital’ or ‘vital impetus’, a force that infuses all matter and drives it forward into an ever-changing and infinite variety of living forms. This appears as a vital impetus that can also be related to humanity’s own creative life force. Bergson’s book builds on his ‘Theory of Time’ as set forth in works such as ‘Matter and Memory’ and ‘Time and Free Will’.  In these works, and in the present volume, Bergson sees continuous ‘duration’ as real time, as opposed to the way in which time is divided up into measured units by the ‘organising’ mind of science. 
     
    Life, as we really experience it, is subject to constant change and our tendency to explain evolutionary change by looking only at ‘ends’ achieved rather than the processes by which they emerge, divorces us from the life force itself.  
     
    Instead, Bergson feels we need to reengage with our instincts as well as with our intelligence in order to understand the evolutionary process, as both co-exist to some extent within us, all forms of life having a common origin in that instinctual, innate knowledge of simpler life forms. Though these may be unconscious or semi-conscious, they are, in Bergson’s view, much more in touch with the ever-changing nature of real time than the analytical and rational knowledge of our species 
     
    As he writes:  “Our thought, in its purely logical form, is incapable of presenting the true nature of life, the full meaning of the evolutionary movement. Created by life, in definite circumstances, to act on definite things, how can it embrace life, of which it is only an emanation or an aspect?”  
     
    It is to attempt an answer to this question that ‘Creative Evolution’ directs its attention.
