Beschreibung

Silly Superstitions explores the fascinating world of superstitions, examining their cultural roots and psychological influences on human behavior. Bridging social science and psychology, the book investigates why these irrational beliefs persist even in modern societies. It reveals how superstitions, such as avoiding the number 13, offer psychological comfort in times of uncertainty and create a sense of control over unpredictable events. The book also points out that many superstitions originated as pre-scientific attempts to explain the world. 

 
The text delves into the historical context of superstitions, tracing their origins across different cultures and time periods. It also explores the psychological factors behind superstitious adherence, including the need for control and confirmation bias. 

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with definitions and historical origins, followed by psychological underpinnings and social impacts. It uses diverse evidence, from historical accounts to psychological experiments, to provide a comprehensive understanding of these pervasive cultural beliefs.

    Want to discover why William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him? Using the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic to doublecheck what past experts have told us about William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog uses a fresh set of eyes to view the facts.  Because of all the fainting found in the poems and plays, Mr. Boog believes that the "real" author of the works probably suffered from epilepsy at a young age. Boog counted nine instances of fainting, but a British physician in 2006 counted 18 episodes of fainting with another 13 instances of "near" fainting. Why so much fainting? Did fainting morph into bipolar disorder when he was older? Boog claims BD symptoms can be found in the works while the man from Stratford never did. For this reason, a person close to Queen Elizabeth who showed symptoms of bipolar disorder and was called "the best playwright for comedy in Queen Elizabeth's court" makes the best choice for author.  Also, back in Elizabethan days, the Queen or King could behead anyone who "imagined the death of a ruler" so why would ANYONE in their right mind, write a play about the death of a ruler? Yet Hamlet, Anthony & Cleopatra and Richard II, all feature rulers who die. So writing under a pen name makes sense - esp in these days of fake Twitter handles and online cat-fishing.Mr. Boog suggests we approach the mystery of William Shakespeare's authorship like a modern-day "cold case" mystery. So, get ready to have fun listening and learning about a compelling case for the true authorship of the Shakespeare canon? A fun and informative audio book that includes humorous stories. It is read by the author from Los Angeles who has a wicked sense of humor."

    State looters Again and again

    On September 15, 2017, in front of millions of television viewers, Emmanuel Macron, with François Bayrou, his Keeper of the Seals at the time, delivered his first lie: “It is now impossible to be elected when you have a B2 criminal record”. Nothing could be further from the truth: in 2025, it is still possible to stand for election and be elected after having been convicted by the courts, whereas there are 396 jobs requiring a clean criminal record. Ten years after the best-seller Pilleurs d'État (State Looters), which sold 120,000 copies, Philippe Pascot takes stock of the progress and setbacks in French politics, listing all the legal abuses still available to the political class: exorbitant salaries and associated expenses, tax exemptions, multiple pensions, fictitious employment, exceptional justice, show trials, bogus declarations of interest and activities, and so many other little arrangements between friends... For Philippe Pascot, the findings are indisputable: “Behind a declared desire for transparency and moralization in the political sphere, our elected representatives continue to nurture their own interests through laws that are less and less comprehensible, in order to escape criminal prosecution and drape themselves in a circumstantial innocence. ”

    Experience the electrifying days that ignited America’s most devastating conflict. The Demon of Unrest plunges listeners into the volatile months between Abraham Lincoln’s election and the first cannon blast at Fort Sumter—a period seething with fear, ambition, and the relentless drumbeat of war. With cinematic pacing and razor-sharp insight, this gripping narrative brings to life the political miscalculations, personal rivalries, and moral crises that pushed the nation past the point of no return.
     
    At the heart of this high-stakes chronicle is a country teetering on the edge of collapse. From secret telegrams in Washington to midnight maneuvers in Charleston, from desperate diplomacy to the thunder of cannon fire, every moment pulses with urgency. Leaders hesitate, bold decisions are made in the shadows, and one fateful morning changes the course of history forever.

    Three Dialogues Between Hylas...

    George Berkeley

    Berkeley uses the Socratic mode of inquiry in Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous to question fundamental beliefs about knowledge and reality. These dialogues are between Hylas (whose name is derived from the ancient Greek word for matter) and Philonous, whose name means “lover of mind.” The new physical sciences developed in the seventeenth century supported the materialism proposed by Thomas Hobbes and several other philosophers.
     
    This worldview proclaimed that all of reality consists of nothing but matter in motion, thus promoting atheism and ethical skepticism. The implications for politics, ethics, and religion caused concern among leading intellectuals in the eighteenth century. Whatever the value of the positive claims presented in this work, Berkeley foreshadows the philosophical impact of twentieth century physics, which challenges the foundations of such materialism and calls for a better understanding of both the physical and the mental aspects of reality
