    People often get away with belittling others if they frame their speech as jokes—speech that would be condemned if stated seriously. "It's just a joke," they say. But what is different or special about joking? And if jokes about lawyers and politicians are morally acceptable, then what is wrong with joking about race or gender? Furthermore, if we may joke about a politician's shirts, may we joke about his weight? People who are targeted by demeaning jokes feel their impact but may not be able to pinpoint where the harm lies. 
     
     
     
    Dangerous Jokes develops a novel, well-researched, and compelling argument that lays bare the power of demeaning jokes in ordinary conversations. Claire Horisk draws on her expertise in philosophy of language and on evidence from sociology, law, and cognitive science to explain how the element of humor—so often used as a defense—makes jokes more potent than regular speech in communicating prejudice and reinforcing social hierarchies. She addresses the morality of telling, being amused by, and laughing at, derogatory jokes, and she gives a new account of listening that addresses the morality of listening to demeaning speech. She leaves us with no illusions about whether "it's just a joke" is an excuse for demeaning humor.

    Imagine what could happen if a religious zealot possessing wealth, power, and bio-technical genius, came into possession of a thorn from the Crown of Thorns placed upon Jesus’ head at the time of His Crucifixion. Richard Francis Craig had such a thorn and recovered Jesus’s DNA from its fossilized remains. He then joined forces with two progressive members of the Church, Cardinal Giovanni and Bishop Bellarmine, and a biotech wunderkind, Kristjan Evans. They have the technology to read His genetic code, a gift from God given through the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Dare they go further? Do they have the courage to use His genetic information to recreate the essence of Jesus, His clone, resurrecting Him to usher in the Second Coming and End of Times, the Final Judgement?Richard Craig made his fortune using his technological genius to found the biopharmaceutical company GenFlux. He was brought up in a strict Christian family by a stern father, a minister in the Redemption Church, and an architect of the God Box. While in the God Box Richard had his vision of Revelation and the Second Coming. The world is in chaos approaching the years of Tribulation and Richard believed God’s desire was for Man to save himself. Did not Mankind discover medical breakthroughs that prevented misery and death? Did Richard not develop medical breakthroughs that cured illness and alleviated suffering? Did Man not harness the power of the atom and the power of DNA, the life force? Richard often felt he was chosen to be a Prophet of the Lord. He knew Mankind possessed the power to control the life force itself, DNA, and thus the life essence of any organism whose DNA sequence Man could acquire. Assisted by Cardinal Giovanni, Bishop Bellarmine, and fellow technological genius Kristjan Evans, Richard Craig formulated his plan to clone Jesus and hasten the Second Coming of Christ, the Final Judgment, and the End of Times.

    This book is a call to action and a toolbox. You have gifts and the world needs you to identify, understand, and employ your gifts. Today. 
    There is important work to be done and we do not have forever on this earth, so we should do good when we can where we are with what we have, knowing improvement will take time and we will face challenges. 
    Important work: children need to be raised, people need to be loved and educated, homes need to be built, code needs to be written, songs need to be sung, clean water needs to be provided, scripts need to be produced, difficult conversations need to be had, systems need to be fixed. 
    The Enduring Urgency strategy can be used to improve our families and our communities, but it starts in the mind of each person. It is about holding a decade and a day at the same time; seeing who and where you want to be a decade from now and doing everything you can each day to become that person. Enduring Urgency is a strategy used by effective humans throughout history. For ease, David uses the following formula: 
    Enduring Urgency = Resilience + Patience + Consistent Focused Action 
    In this book, David shares stories and provides tools to help you build resilience, develop patience, and take consistent focused action in support of those important people and goals you have. The resilience is for the adversity you have, are, or will face. The patience is for your process and the time required to improve. The consistent focused action is for the compounding effect, the consequences of what happens when we act consistently over time.
