  Saving Free Speech … from Itself

  Saving Free Speech … from Itself sets the tone for the fractious discussion of how the First Amendment should be interpreted in today’s society and how the free speech aspect of it should not be weaponized by individuals and groups whose agenda includes causing harm to innocent people 
  It comes with a Foreword by Bret Stephens, the well-known columnist of The New York Times. 
  In an era of political correctness, race-baiting, terrorist incitement, the ‘Danish’ cartoons, the shouting down of speakers, and, of course, ‘fake news,’ liberals and conservatives are up in arms both about speech and its excesses, and what the First Amendment means. Speech has been weaponized. Everyone knows it, but no one seems to know how to make sense of the current confusion, and what to do about it. Thane Rosenbaum’s provocative and compelling book is what is needed to understand this important issue at the heart of our society and politics. 
  Our nation’s founders did not envision speech as a license to trample on the rights of others. And the Supreme Court has decided cases where certain categories of speech are already prohibited without violating the Constitution. Laws banning hate speech are prevalent in other democratic, liberal societies, where speech is not valued above human dignity, and yet in Germany, France, the UK and elsewhere, life continues, freedoms have not rolled to the bottom of the bogeyman of a ‘slippery slope,’ and democracies remain vibrant. There is already a great deal of second guessing about the limits of free speech. In 1977, courts permitted neo-Nazis to march in a Chicago suburb populated by Holocaust survivors. Today, many wonder whether the alt-right should have been prevented from marching in Charlottesville in 2017. Even the ACLU, which represented both groups, is having doubts as to whether the First Amendment should override basic notions of equality and citizenship.

  In a world obsessed with appearances, hookups, and hustle culture, Social Climbing Through Sex: The Evolutionary Elevator delivers a brutally honest, darkly humorous, and disturbingly true exposé on how sexual strategy shapes success. Combining evolutionary biology, psychology, gender politics, and historical case studies, this book unpacks the unapologetic truth: sex is not just about pleasure—it's a currency, a ladder, a tool of power. 
  From primal instincts to Instagram thirst traps, from Cleopatra to corporate courtesans, this book traces the ancient and modern tactics of those who ascend society through desire rather than merit. Women who withhold, men who flaunt, and everyone in between—this is not about morality. It's about mechanism. 
  Explore why celibacy is a power move, why desire doesn't equal value, and how modern archetypes like the Cool Girl, the Virgin Strategist, and the Evolved Escort aren't just real—they're thriving. 
  Whether you're a student of human nature or just curious about what lies beneath the glossy surface of dating apps, weddings, and bedroom "empowerment," this book offers a chilling revelation: love may be blind, but sex wears designer sunglasses and always looks up.
