Sinossi

I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back.René Descartes: French, wealthy, suspicious of everything, and armed with just enough Latin to convince the world that his personal identity crisis was actually a groundbreaking intellectual framework. From doubting the entire universe to claiming God exists because the idea of God felt right, Descartes pioneered a system so elegantly flawed it haunted philosophers for centuries—and now you get to enjoy the wreckage.In this book, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, Leibniz’s Monads) takes you on a laugh-out-loud demolition tour of:
 
The Four-Step Method of Doubt, also known as gaslighting the cosmos
 
The Cogito, or how to accidentally make thinking sound smug
 
God as epistemological tech support
 
Mind-body dualism, or “what if you’re just a haunted skeleton?”
 
Descartes’ legacy in science, psychology, AI, and every freshman who says “I'm not my body, bro.”
 
Whether you’re a philosophy student, a recovering Cartesian, or just here to watch the metaphysical world burn, this book explains Descartes’ ideas the way they were always meant to be understood: with sarcasm, side-eye, and a glass of wine.I think, therefore I spiral. Let’s go

    Nuclear Revolution - Powering...

    “Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America’s great conservative thinkers.” — William Martin, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee
    		 
    Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world’s population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable. The only solution is more energy and lots of it.
    		 
    Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades.
    		 
    Skeptics say that nuclear energy is too expensive and threatens the world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons material and radioactive waste. Proponents say that nuclear power needs and deserves the support of the state and the taxpayer, cradle to grave. The time has come, Spencer argues, to think big nuclear energy and pull it out of the time capsule that pop culture, environmental activists, lobbyists, peaceniks, and policymakers are all too content to leave nuclear in.
    		 
    Spencer writes that while the government-industry partnership that defined the early years of America’s commercial nuclear rise was essential to the nation’s security, reluctance to modernize that relationship has prevented the American nuclear industry from reaching its full potential. In its place, Spencer offers an alternative that shatters how we think about nuclear energy policy and realigns the responsibilities of government and industry with the incentives that will drive America to success.
    		 
    Nuclear Revolution describes why government intervention in the nuclear industry is a problem, how to move from the status quo to something new, and why such reforms will kick off an era of nuclear entrepreneurship and innovation. Over 70 years ago, nuclear energy entered the scene with great promise. Now more than ever, the world needs that promise delivered, and America can lead the way.

    Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most influential figures in world history, rose from modest beginnings to become the emperor of France and the master of much of Europe. Born on August 15, 1769, on the island of Corsica, Napoleon came from a relatively modest family. His father, a lawyer, was part of the minor nobility, but the family’s wealth was limited. Despite these humble origins, Napoleon's extraordinary ambition, sharp intellect, and relentless drive would propel him into the center of European politics, shaping the future of the continent. 
    Napoleon’s early life was marked by education at military academies, where his talent for strategy and leadership quickly became apparent. At the age of 16, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the French army. His rise through the ranks coincided with the turmoil of the French Revolution, which fundamentally altered France and its political landscape. In 1789, the French Revolution erupted, dismantling the monarchy and challenging traditional structures of power. It was in this chaotic period that Napoleon saw his opportunity. 
    During the Revolution, Napoleon initially made his name through his military prowess, especially during the Italian Campaign in the late 1790s. His innovative tactics and leadership were crucial in securing French victories against Austria and its allies. These victories not only increased Napoleon’s reputation but also solidified his status as one of France’s most brilliant generals. By 1799, France was embroiled in political instability, and the government—the Directory—was weakened by corruption and poor leadership. Amid this instability, Napoleon seized the moment to take control.

    Introverts have long been misunderstood in a world that favors extroversion. Often seen as shy, antisocial, or even cold, they are frequently pressured to conform to society’s expectation of constant interaction and social engagement. However, introversion is far more complex than simply being quiet. It is a deeply ingrained personality trait that affects how individuals process thoughts, emotions, and experiences. While introverts possess many strengths, they also face unique challenges that are often overlooked. This book aims to explore the lesser-known struggles of introverts, shedding light on the psychological complexities that shape their lives. 
      
    One of the biggest misconceptions about introverts is that they dislike people. In reality, introverts are highly selective about their social interactions, often preferring deep, meaningful connections over surface-level conversations. Their energy is drained by excessive socialization, making them more inclined toward solitude and introspection. However, this need for alone time can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, especially in a world that values constant networking and outgoing personalities. The very traits that make introverts thoughtful and introspective can also cause them to struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. 
      
    Despite their quiet nature, introverts experience a vast range of emotions, many of which remain unspoken. They tend to internalize their struggles, making it difficult for others to recognize when they are overwhelmed or in distress. This internalization can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-imposed isolation. Additionally, introverts often feel the pressure to adapt to extroverted norms, forcing themselves into uncomfortable social situations or pretending to be more outgoing than they truly are.
