    A leading expert’s exploration of the past, present, and future of public monuments in America. 
    An urgent and fractious national debate over public monuments has erupted in America. Some people risk imprisonment to tear down long-ignored hunks of marble; others form armed patrols to defend them. Why do we care so much about statues? And who gets to decide which ones should stay up and which should come down?  
    Erin L. Thompson, the country’s leading expert in the tangled aesthetic, legal, political, and social issues involved in such battles brings much-needed clarity in Smashing Statues. She traces the turbulent history of American monuments and its abundant ironies, starting with the enslaved man who helped make the statue of Freedom atop the US Capitol, and explores the surprising motivations behind such contemporary flashpoints as the toppling of a statue of Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol. Written with great verve and thoroughly researched, Smashing Statues gives listeners the context they need to consider the fundamental question: Whose voices must be heard and whose pain must remain private?

    Mind games refer to psychological manipulation used to confuse, control, or manipulate others. They are a set of tactics designed to distort reality and influence someone's perception of situations, often without them realizing it. At the core, mind games prey on emotions, thoughts, and behavior, using subtle cues or calculated moves to lead the targeted individual into a state of confusion, self-doubt, or dependency. These psychological games often occur in situations where one person or group seeks to dominate or maintain power over another, exploiting the vulnerabilities of the victim for personal gain. 
    The essence of mind games lies in their subtlety. Unlike direct manipulation or coercion, mind games are indirect, creating an illusion of free will while slowly influencing decisions and actions. A skilled manipulator may present ideas, situations, or beliefs in a way that seems harmless or logical on the surface, yet their true purpose is to influence and control how others think and act. In many cases, these tactics are so skillfully executed that the person being manipulated may never even recognize that they are being played. 
    One of the key aspects of mind games is the element of confusion. Manipulators often engage in tactics that cause the victim to question their own beliefs, memories, and experiences. This psychological tactic, known as gaslighting, is a prime example of mind games at work. By distorting reality, manipulators create uncertainty in their target’s mind, making them doubt their own sense of reality. Over time, this confusion erodes the victim’s confidence and independence, rendering them more susceptible to further manipulation.

    Outlines of Pyrrhonism

    Sextus Empiricus

    Throughout history philosophers have sought to define, understand, and delineate concepts important to human well-being. One such concept is knowledge. Many philosophers believed that absolute, certain knowledge, is possible—that the physical world and ideas formulated about it could be given solid foundation unaffected by the varieties of mere opinion. 
     
    Sextus Empiricus stands as an example of the skeptic school of thought whose members believed that knowledge was either unattainable or, if a genuine possibility, the conditions necessary to achieve it were next to impossible to satisfy. In other words, in the absence of complete knowledge, one must make do with the information provided by an imperfect world and conveyed to the mind through sense impressions that can often deceive us. Throughout his life Sextus Empiricus entered into intellectual combat with those who confidently claimed to possess indubitable knowledge. For skeptics, the best one can hope to achieve is a reasonable suspension of judgment—remaining ever mindful that claims to knowledge require careful scrutiny, thoughtful analysis, and critical review if we are to prevent ourselves and others from plunging headlong into mistaken notions.
