Synopsis

Oddest New Inventions explores the quirky side of technological development, showcasing real inventions that push the boundaries between ingenuity and absurdity. The book delves into how even seemingly ridiculous creations offer valuable insights into the creative process and the evolving relationship between technology and society. One might be surprised to learn that some inventions arise not from necessity, but from a desire to solve niche problems, while others stretch technological limits with questionable practicality. The book examines themes like the unpredictable nature of innovation and the societal impact of inventions, regardless of their usefulness.

 
It begins by establishing a framework for examining "odd inventions," then categorizes them by focus, such as convenience or niche problem-solving. Through detailed case studies using patent documents and expert interviews, it analyzes each invention's design, functionality, and intended market. This approach makes complex issues around technology and innovation accessible and engaging.

 
Concluding with a discussion on the broader implications of the inventions, the book considers their potential impact on society and the ethical considerations they raise. By embracing the inherent absurdity of some inventions, Oddest New Inventions aims to entertain and educate, offering valuable lessons for future innovators and anyone curious about the unexpected directions of human creativity.

Axiology - The Study of Values...

Mike Crawford

Axiology, the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of values, plays a crucial role in understanding human beliefs, decisions, and behaviors. This chapter introduces the concept of axiology, emphasizing its importance in ethics and how it influences not just personal conduct but also societal norms and expectations. At its core, axiology is concerned with two primary components: value theory and the study of ethics. These two areas work in tandem, guiding individuals in understanding what is good, right, or desirable, and shaping their actions accordingly.
The term "axiology" comes from the Greek words "axios," meaning value, and "logos," meaning study or discourse. Axiology thus represents the study of values in the most comprehensive sense, ranging from personal preferences to the collective ethical standards that govern entire societies. The study of values is fundamental to various fields such as ethics, psychology, politics, and education, providing a framework for determining what is valuable in different contexts. Values themselves can take many forms, including moral values, aesthetic values, social values, and economic values, each influencing behavior in unique ways.
Understanding values is essential because they serve as the foundation upon which we build our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. From an individual perspective, values guide the decisions we make daily—whether in choosing a career, deciding what is right or wrong, or determining what we prioritize in life.

Time is one of life’s biggest mysteries. In The Order of Time (2017), physicist Carlo Rovelli dives into both simple and complex aspects of time. It is a concept that has been long studied by philosophers, artists, and scientists alike, and our understanding of it has gone through many phases. He explains the basic laws of physics, Einstein’s relativity, quantum theory, and his own work in thermal time and loop quantum gravity. Rovelli offers a range of different rationalizations of time, and his sense of wonder gives time an extraordinarily human aspect.
