Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius...

Alexander Paul Burton

The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius: The Quantum Ethics Series 
Meet Jake Fidellius: an unintentional hero of the absurd, adrift in a world where cappuccinos, algorithms, and the tiniest choices can reveal the deepest truths. From the quiet corners of coffee shops to the cosmic expanse of existence, Jake navigates the strange intersections of desire, creativity, and human blunder, asking whether any of us are truly free to choose. 
In this collection of short, vaguely reflective stories, Jake explores the paradoxical dance between chaos and order: The Wet: the raw, unstructured burden of consciousness and The Dry: the human-made rules that always seem to fail. Philosophical, satirical, and brutally honest, these tales chronicle Jake’s attempts to find meaning when the world itself feels designed for absurdity. 
But when the alien vessel 3I/ATLAS arrives, offering humanity a choice in the grand Consensus of Stars, Jake’s musings become urgent, terrifying, and viscerally real. As society fractures into factions and his queer, creative intentions are weaponized against him, Jake must navigate cosmic stakes, dreamlike prophecies, and the ultimate question: can we trust our own humanity over the algorithm?

King Josiah - The Untold Story

Gerard Troise

The History of Kings is vividly brought to life in this emotionally charged narrative of King Josiah and his contemporaries. Although the major portion of this novel centers upon the life and reign of King Josiah in particular, his grandfather King Manasseh, and father King Amon, are also vividly portrayed in the early chapters of this book to illustrate the conditions under which the child Prince Josiah matured and came of age along with many youthful life adventures and experiences that helped to mold him into the great King and leader of his people that he was. 
While the Scriptural history of the Kings is honorably held to with nothing sugar-coated or glossed over, much of what history does not tell us is also realistically included in this account, (such as King Manasseh's prison sentence in Assyria), to create a seamlessly flowing storyline, complete with the customs and lifestyle of ancient Judah, the beauty of the land, and many unique surprises and gems of wisdom that you will surely find to be well worth your reading and or listening time. The uncompromising integrity and strength of character that King Josiah displayed during an age of vile corruption is a shining historical legacy that will encourage your faith to stand strong against the many challenges of our modern times.

What's Wrong with Stereotyping?

Erin Beeghly

What's Wrong with Stereotyping? offers a refreshing and accessibly written philosophical take on the ethics of stereotyping. Stereotyping is woven into every aspect of human experience: conversation, psychology, algorithmic systems, and culture. It relates to generalization and induction, core aspects of rationality. But when and why it is morally wrong to stereotype? This book tackles this deep and enduring puzzle. 
 
 
 
Core chapters evaluate important ethical wrongs: the failure to treat persons as individuals, disrespect, harm, prejudice, threats to freedoms, and the failure to treat persons as equals. One finds that there is no "essence" of wrongful stereotyping, a single property or set of properties that all problematic cases share in common. Nor are the wrongs of stereotyping reducible to an elegant number, two or three. Instead, wrongful stereotyping is characterized by clusters of wrong-making properties, including all the ones noted here. Listeners will come away with a radically pluralistic, open-ended theory of wrongful stereotyping that they can use to identify wrongful stereotyping in their own lives and our contemporary world. Filled with thought-provoking examples and models for social change, this book emphasizes the messiness of moral reality and the importance of looking to the past in order to understand the ethical perils of stereotyping.

Talking Cure - An Essay on the...

Paula Marantz Cohen

Talking Cure is a timely and enticing excursion into the art of good conversation. Paula Marantz Cohen reveals how conversation connects us in ways that social media never can and explains why simply talking to each other freely and without guile may be the cure to what ails our troubled society. 
 
 
 
Drawing on her lifelong immersion in literature and culture and her decades of experience as a teacher and critic, Cohen argues that we learn to converse in our families and then carry that knowledge into a broader world where we encounter diverse opinions and sensibilities. She discusses the role of food in encouraging conversation, the challenges of writing dialogue in fiction, the pros and cons of Zoom, the relationship of conversation to vaudeville acts, and the educational value of a good college seminar where students learn to talk about ideas. Cohen looks at some of the famous groups of writers and artists in history whose conversation fed their creativity, and details some of the habits that can result in bad conversation. 
 
 
 
Blending the immediacy of a beautifully crafted memoir with the conviviality of an intimate gathering with friends, Talking Cure makes a persuasive case for the civilizing value of conversation and is essential listening for anyone interested in the chatter that fuels culture.
