Synopsis

Slippery Words explores how language subtly shapes societal decline by influencing our actions and perspectives. It examines how seemingly small changes in terminology can create "slippery slopes," leading to negative outcomes in areas from public policy to individual ethics. The book argues that recognizing the potential for linguistic manipulation is key to reversing these trends.

 
The book delves into three core areas: the manipulation of language in political discourse, the erosion of ethical standards, and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned interventions. For example, the strategic framing of issues by political actors can significantly sway public opinion. Using case studies and historical examples, Slippery Words offers critical analysis of how rhetoric and propaganda impact our world.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing the concept of slippery slope arguments, then dedicating sections to each of the core topics. By the conclusion, readers are equipped with strategies for identifying and mitigating the effects of manipulative language in their own lives and communities. This approach blends rhetorical analysis, social scientific research, and historical context to empower readers to think critically and make responsible decisions.

    This vital book leads us beyond today's crisis—and conflict-prone world to a higher stage of our evolution. We have reached a historic turning point—a "point of bifurcation"—at which we must find new ways to upshift our individual and collective consciousness to ensure the desired resolution of these crises. 
     
     
     
    Ervin Laszlo and David Lorimer, drawing on their holistic expertise and global network, have assembled a stellar cast of contributors who decode the big picture to offer exactly what we need now. The world-renowned scientists and visionaries who contribute to this book illuminate where are we today and where we can go from here. They focus on the most burning question of all: how can we upshift ourselves—our ways of healing, of thinking and feeling, and even of intuiting—to respond to the pressing requirements of our time? 
     
     
     
    Their visions empower us to "be the change" we want to see in the world—to help others be a positive and critical part of the great upshift that has already started. This will be our salvation. This compendium of insights into solutions for our world troubled by climate change, conflict, and unsustainable conditions calls for the conscious participation of all of us to implement the verities within.

    A Case for AI Ethics to Achieve...

    What if the real power of AI isn't in its speed, data, or dominance but in its ability to serve humanity with conscience, dignity, and sustainability?
    
    In A Case for AI Ethics to Achieve Sustainability, Thami Msubo, a South African thought leader and workplace diplomat bridging shopfloor realities and boardroom decisions, delivers a bold and timely blueprint for aligning artificial intelligence with ethical leadership, measurable outcomes, and the UN SDGs. Inspired by Al pioneer Geoffrey Hinton and heeding Stephen Hawking's stark warning that Al could pose an existential threat to humanity, Msubo introduces four transformative dimensions.
    
    First, the Ethical AI Manifesto, a values-driven vision rooted in Ubuntu, 'I am because we are', which champions human dignity, privacy, shared prosperity, accountability, and others.
    
    Second, the Ubuntu Ethical AI Framework, a practical tool with measurable KPIs that track AI's impact on workplace wellbeing, social inclusion, and long-term sustainability.
    
    Third, the Circle of Evolutionary Learning, a forward-looking model that ensures ethical knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.
    
    Fourth, the Sovereign AI Wealth Fund (SAIWF), an economic justice which ensures that automation royalties are paid back to society and displaced workers are reskilled with dignity.
    
    Written in clear, accessible language, this book makes complex ideas easy to understand and apply. It is for everyone: students, educators, CEOs, policymakers, and concerned citizens. But it makes a powerful appeal to corporations, governments, and multilateral organisations to lead the AI revolution with ethics at its core.
    
    A powerful voice from the Global South, long excluded from Western-centric AI discourse, Msubo positions South Africa as a global torchbearer and beacon of ethical, human-centred innovation. This book is a moral compass for our digital age.

    "The Communist Manifesto," co-authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848, is a profound critique of capitalism and a blueprint for a new social order, communism. It argues that the proletariat, or working class, will lead the revolution against the capitalist system's inherent class inequalities. 
    Spanning four sections, the manifesto traces class struggles, critiques the bourgeoisie, reviews socialist and communist literature, and examines the position of communists relative to opposition parties. 
    In reading this key political tract, remember it is a product of its time. Yet its discourse on wealth, power, and economic disparity remains relevant today. This timeless work invites us to critically examine our society, offering crucial insights into socio-political ideologies shaping our world.
