In the Shadows of Cognition

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In this thought-provoking and wide-ranging book, we embark on an intellectual journey to explore the enigmas of the human mind and the nature of reality. We delve into the depths of consciousness, questioning the subjective nature of experience and the hard problem of phenomenal consciousness. We investigate the architecture of the mind, examining the modular mind and the default mode network. We grapple with the nature of reality, confronting the problem of induction and the myth of the given.

We confront the limits of knowledge, examining the problem of skepticism and the Münchhausen Trilemma. We explore the power of belief, investigating the psychology, sociology, and economics of belief. We search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless universe, confronting the existential vacuum and the will to meaning.

We grapple with the nature of freedom, examining the relationship between free will and determinism. We confront the problem of evil, questioning the existence of a benevolent and omnipotent God. We peer into the future of humanity, exploring the possibilities of technological singularity and the posthuman condition.

Finally, we confront the grand questions that have perplexed humanity for millennia: Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? What is the nature of reality? What is the future of humanity? What is the point of it all?

With intellectual rigor and a keen eye for detail, this book takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the labyrinth of the human mind and the mysteries of the universe. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their world, and their place in the cosmos.

Verity or the Art of Lying Well

Marcus Reed

In an age obsessed with truth, this book dares to ask whether honesty has ever been what we really wanted. Verity, or the Art of Lying Well is a provocative reflection on storytelling, psychology, and the illusions we choose to believe. Through the lens of one of the most controversial thrillers of the decade, it examines why deception feels so irresistible — in fiction, in love, and in life. Blending philosophy and narrative insight, it reveals how every story is a negotiation between belief and desire, and how the best lies often tell the deepest truths. A book for readers who love thrillers but crave something more: a mirror held up to their own need to be deceived.

Portraits of Childfree Wealth -...

PhD Jay Zigmont

Have you ever wondered what people without children do with all their free time and money? Do you assume that they must have a lot of both? The truth is more complex than that! Childfree people come from as many different backgrounds and life circumstances as people with children do. Some are partnered, and some are not. Some are well-educated, some aren't. Some are independently wealthy, and some are just scraping by. Dr. Zigmont's "Portraits of Childfree Wealth" is a collection of 26 vignettes based on interviews with Childfree people. He adds his own significant insights, as both a fellow Childfree professional and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. This book is an eye-opening look at the lives of people in the United States who deliberately chose not to become parents, and if you're in the same boat, you'll find a lot to relate to here. If you have children, you'll learn how the other half lives. And if you're a finance professional, you'll see how money still plays a role for people who don't have to worry about leaving assets to their children.
In Portraits of Childfree Wealth, Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, interviews 26 individuals and couples to understand their lives. Each portrait provides a different perspective on Childfree Wealth from a diverse population across the US. There are stories from people who are barely making ends meet and others who have achieved FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) or FILE (Financial Independence, Live Early). Being Childfree does not automatically make people rich, as we still suffer from income disparities. The difference is that if a Childfree person is barely making ends meet now, they would have drowned if they had a child.
