  Idealism - Mind Over Matter in...

  Idealism, as a philosophical doctrine, holds that the mind and its ideas are the primary reality, shaping the material world rather than being shaped by it. This perspective challenges the materialist viewpoint that places physical matter at the foundation of existence. From ancient Greek philosophy to modern quantum theories, idealism has provided a profound framework for understanding reality, perception, and consciousness. 
  Throughout history, idealism has offered a lens through which thinkers could explore the mysteries of existence. Plato’s theory of forms, for instance, posited that the tangible world is a shadow of a higher, more real world of ideas. Similarly, German idealists such as Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel expanded on these concepts, arguing that human perception actively constructs reality. These ideas have not only shaped philosophy but have also influenced disciplines ranging from art to science. 
  At its core, idealism raises fundamental questions about the nature of reality. Is the external world independent of our consciousness, or does it exist only as a construct of the mind? Idealism asserts that our understanding of the universe is intrinsically tied to our subjective experiences, emphasizing that thought and consciousness are the building blocks of reality. This contrasts sharply with materialism, which contends that physical matter exists independently and is the source of all mental phenomena.

  New evidence in Dynamite Nashville uncovers the origin of an organized group of racist terrorists committing nationwide acts of violence against integration efforts in the late 1950's and early 1960s. Award winning historian Betsy Phillips not only paints a detailed picture of the social dynamic of the times, but details how a violent fringe of racists came to national prominence. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips unmasks the KKK, reveals a racist terrorist network, names its principle leader, and shines a much needed historical spotlight on unsung civil rights hero Z. Alexander Looby. 
   
   
   
  Just as Nashville was where Civil Rights icons began, Nashville is where one of the country's most prominent organizations of racist terrorists formed. Members of The Confederate Underground would participate in least twenty bombings between 1957 and 1963. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips revisits three unsolved Nashville bombings. Additionally, her research shows how the differing agendas of local police and the FBI allowed these bombers to escape prosecution until decades later, if at all. Dynamite Nashville is a prequel to the racist violence of the 1960s, the story of how these bombers came together to learn how to terrorize communities, and to escape any meaningful justice. It is also the story of how communities and heroes like Z. Alexander Looby pushed back.

  A World Unbroken explores an alternate history in which humanity never faced the devastation of plague. Through a series of deeply researched and humanized chapters, the book examines how uninterrupted population growth, stable communities, and the absence of mass mortality would have shaped every aspect of society, science, and culture. From art and architecture to law, migration, and the environment, each chapter delves into the ways in which continuity, rather than crisis, would have influenced the evolution of human experience. The narrative weaves together the threads of hope, fear, ambition, and innovation, offering a compelling vision of a world where progress is steady, traditions are preserved, and new challenges arise from abundance rather than loss.

  The In-Group Bias - Favoring...

  William Rands

  In-group bias is a psychological phenomenon where individuals favor members of their own group over those belonging to other groups. This bias is rooted in the human tendency to classify people into various social categories, such as race, religion, nationality, or even less obvious distinctions like political affiliation or sports team loyalty. Once these distinctions are made, individuals typically develop a sense of belonging and loyalty to their own group—the "in-group"—while viewing outsiders, or "out-group" members, as different or inferior. 
  At its core, in-group bias serves a functional purpose in social behavior. Evolutionarily, humans have relied on social groups for survival, and belonging to a cohesive group provided benefits such as shared resources, protection, and mutual support. However, as societies evolved and became more complex, these group dynamics also gave rise to preferential treatment of those within the same group. This is not limited to obvious groups like tribes or clans but can extend to any group with which an individual identifies. Whether through shared beliefs, common goals, or even simple social interactions, in-group bias manifests in everyday life, influencing decisions, relationships, and behaviors. 
  In-group bias is a key concept in social psychology because it highlights how much of human behavior is shaped by the need for social belonging. This bias leads to favoritism in various aspects of life, from workplace promotions and academic opportunities to political support and even everyday social interactions. The impact of in-group bias can be subtle, such as favoring a colleague over an outsider for a minor task, or more overt, such as discrimination against individuals from a different ethnic background.
