Synopsis

In "Mind is a Myth," U. G. Krishnamurti eloquently dismantles the conventional understanding of the mind, asserting that what we refer to as 'mind' is merely an illusion. His literary style is conversational yet profound, drawing the reader into a dialogue that challenges societal norms of thought and perception. Written in a period marked by existential inquiry and spiritual exploration in the mid-20th century, the book engages with philosophical ideas from both Eastern and Western traditions, offering a refreshing critique against the dogmas of the mind and its constructs. U. G. Krishnamurti, often referred to as a non-teacher, gained prominence by advocating for a radical approach to self-awareness and personal liberation. His experiences in the realm of Eastern philosophical thought, coupled with his rejection of traditional spiritual authority, illuminate his motivations in crafting this work. His unique perspective was shaped by intense personal experiences, including a brief period of enlightenment, which led him to question the very nature of reality and the self. "Mind is a Myth" is an essential read for those intrigued by the nature of consciousness and the limitations of conventional thought. It encourages readers to peel away the layers of conditioned thinking, making it not only a philosophical inquiry but also a transformative journey into understanding one's true nature. Perfect for seekers of truth, this book invites you to question what you believe about your mind and reality.

    The days of a secure and peaceful future are over. Man is on the brink of a new world filled with danger, adventure, and a potential threat from an artificial intelligence unlike anything ever seen. 
     
    The world we live in is on the cusp of a dangerous new era: the emergence of intelligent artificial systems, or “agents”, that will profoundly reshape humanity’s relationship with technology. We will explore the murky landscape ahead, and seek to uncover the future of mankind’s relationship with these revolutionary new technologies. 
     
    Advancements in artificial intelligence are happening faster than ever before, and with them comes a potential risk unseen in the history of digital technology. We explore the implications of this rapid development, from extreme wealth disparity to cyber–security threats, and examine how these systems might impact the lives of citizens everywhere. At the center of this book stands the ethical dilemma posed by these agents: how can we ensure that our choices respect and protect our values, interests, and communities? 
     
    This is just the beginning. As we venture deeper into this new, complex, and sometimes intimidating world, you will witness stunning stories of amazing innovations and emerging opportunities that promise to change our lives forever. From artificial intelligence and its associated robotic hardware, to the advocates and opponents of these remarkable creations, this book promises to be an eye-opening exploration of the world that’s to come.

    In this excellent exposition of ancient Indian thought systems, the authors rig up an interesting debate among proponents of these systems, finally leading to the conclusions well established by Vedas and Upanishads. 
    The book is based on the well-known work namely The Brahma Sutra of Sage Badarayana. 
    A good book to get a quick introduction to Samkhya, Vaisheshika, Yoga, Teravada, Vijnyana Vada, Shoonya Vada, and Anekantavada and their contrast with the Upanishadic views.

    The Sioux, also called the Oceti Sakowin are a North American people of Native American tribe and First Countries tribes. The contemporary Sioux are split into 2 significant groups based upon language: Dakota and Lakota; they're called together as the Ohéthi akówi ("7 Council Fires"). The term "Sioux" is an exonym stemmed from a French transliteration of the Ojibwe term "Nadouessioux," and can apply to any ethnic group or language dialect within the Great Sioux Country. 
    The Dakota War of 1862 came from the United States' failure to make agreement payments on time, and also an absence of food supply. The Dakota were banished from Minnesota to many bookings in Nebraska, North and South Dakota, and Canada. After 1870, the Dakota people started to return to Minnesota, developing the state's existing reserves. Before relinquishing their terrain and transferring to South Dakota in 1858, the Yankton and Yanktonai Dakota (Iháktuwa and Iháktuwana; "Village-at-the-End" and "Little village-at-the-End") resided in the Minnesota River area. 
    If any of this sounds fascinating to you, then go ahead and start reading or listening to the audiobook.
