  Whiskerology - The Culture of...

  A New Yorker Best Book of the YearHair is always and everywhere freighted with meaning. In nineteenth-century America, however, hair took on decisive new significance as the young nation wrestled with its identity. During the colonial period, hair was usually seen as bodily discharge, even "excrement." But as Sarah Gold McBride shows, hair gradually came to be understood as an integral part of the body, capable of exposing truths about the individuals from whom it grew—even truths they wanted to hide.As the United States diversified—intensifying divisions over race, class, citizenship status, and region—Americans sought to understand and classify one another through the revelatory power of hair: its color, texture, length, even the shape of a single strand. While hair styling had long offered clues about one's social status, the biological properties of hair itself gradually came to be seen as a scientific tell: a reliable indicator of whether a person was a man or a woman; Black, white, Indigenous, or Asian; Christian or heathen; healthy or diseased. Hair was even thought to illuminate aspects of personality—whether one was courageous, ambitious, or criminally inclined. Yet if hair was a teller of truths, it was also readily turned to purposes of deception in ways that alarmed some and empowered others. Indeed, hair helped many Americans to fashion statements about political belonging, to engage in racial or gender passing, and to reinvent themselves.A history inscribed in bangs, curls, and chops, Whiskerology illuminates a period in American history when hair indexed belonging in some ways that may seem strange—but in other ways all too familiar—today.

  Poetics

  Aristotle

  Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς; Latin: De Poetica) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term that derives from a classical Greek term, ποιητής, that means "poet; author; maker" and in this context includes verse drama – comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play – as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. Difference of goodness in the characters.Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. In examining its "first principles", Aristotle finds two: 1) imitation and 2) genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. Although Aristotle's Poetics is universally acknowledged in the Western critical tradition, "almost every detail about his seminal work has aroused divergent opinions". The work was lost to the Western world for a long time. It was available in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance only through a Latin translation of an Arabic version written by Averroes.Aristotle's work on aesthetics consists of the Poetics, Politics and Rhetoric. The Poetics is specifically concerned with drama. At some point, Aristotle's original work was divided in two, each "book" written on a separate roll of papyrus.

  Are You Living in a Simulation?

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Investigate the increasingly credible hypothesis that your entire experienced reality is a sophisticated computer simulation rather than base physical existence. This provocative audiobook examines the scientific and philosophical arguments supporting simulation theory that have converted skeptics across academic disciplines. Learn the statistical reasoning suggesting that if civilizations can create realistic simulations, we are almost certainly inside one rather than being the original creators. The narrator presents the simulation argument developed by philosopher Nick Bostrom and subsequent refinements by physicists, computer scientists, and probability theorists. Discover the strange features of our universe that seem more consistent with simulation than physical law, from quantum observer effects to mathematical elegance to cosmological fine-tuning. Understand what purpose such simulations might serve and what it would mean for concepts like free will, morality, and death if simulation theory is correct. This audiobook explores how simulation hypothesis relates to religious traditions positing that visible reality is illusion masking deeper truth. Learn why Elon Musk claims we have one in billions chance of existing in base reality and how other technologists reached similar conclusions. Perfect for anyone fascinated by existential questions and willing to consider radical possibilities about the nature of existence that mainstream culture dismisses but serious thinkers increasingly accept.
