Every lie constructs a world. For as long as it is believed, that world is as real as any other, shaping decisions, emotions, and the trajectory of lives. In this deeply personal and intellectually ambitious book, Boris Kriger dismantles our assumptions about deception and rebuilds them from the ground up, revealing lying not as a simple moral failing but as a structural feature of how information moves between minds, whether those minds are human or artificial.

Dit boek is een reisgids door de eeuwenoude filosofie van het Stoïcisme, een levenshouding die zijn wortels diep heeft verankerd in de menselijke geschiedenis.

This audiobook proposes a radical yet disciplined thesis: the Gospel is not only interpretable, but formally expressible, and its internal structure requires formalization if it is to remain stable, transmissible, and intelligible across radically different forms of intelligence.

A book about why humans think irrationally — and why logic fails in the real world. We live in an age of information and still make emotional, biased, and mathematically insane decisions. Why? Because the human brain is wired for story over statistics, tribe over truth, and certainty over reality. In When Logic Betrays You, Kevin L. Whitworth blends cognitive psychology, behavioral science, and dark humor to expose how cognitive biases sabotage critical thinking.

I saggi di questo volume, che toccano la politica, la religione, la letteratura, la filosofia, la matematica e la scienza, sono raccolti in sezioni che si aprono con interviste immaginarie a personaggi del passato (Hitler, Gesù, Dante, Aristotele, Archimede, Newton) e si chiudono con interviste reali a quelli del presente (Chomsky, il Dalai Lama, Saramago, Kripke, Nash e Watson). Nel mezzo, il matematico impertinente dispiega l'arsenale della ragione per argomentare che non è affatto vero che non possiamo non dirci cristiani, o che siamo tutti americani.

Many insiders in the tech plex are deeply concerned about AI's trajectory—rightly seeing it as existential risk. Dr. Marc Gafni identifies two forms: the potential death of humanity through extinction events, and the potential death of our humanity. We become irrelevant to governance and economics, unneeded as workers, controlled by systems that shape our desires, stripped of genuine choice—heading toward a totalitarian global digital dictatorship. In this monograph, Dr. Marc Gafni offers a multilayered diagnosis of our AI moment—one that far exceeds technological concerns.

In this incisive blend of personal narrative and philosophical inquiry, journalist and activist Barrett Holmes Pitner seeks a new way to talk about racism in America. Can new language reshape our understanding of the past and expand the possibilities of the future? The Crime Without a Name...

Publicado en 1895, este breve diálogo filosófico entre Aquiles y una tortuga, es una parábola lógica inspirada en la famosa paradoja de Zenón, pero aplicada a la lógica del razonamiento en lugar del movimiento físico. En la historia, Aquiles intenta convencer a la tortuga de aceptar una conclusión lógica (Z) derivada de dos premisas (A y B). La tortuga acepta A y B, pero se niega a aceptar Z, argumentando que necesitaría otra premisa adicional (C): «Si A y B son verdaderas, entonces Z debe ser verdadera.

Language does not merely divide or connect; it resonates. The Mutual Enrichment of Languages explores the hidden kinship among the Germanic tongues and reveals how meaning expands when words diverge yet remain bound by a shared inner form. Moving beyond academic linguistics, this book offers a philosophical exploration of how recognition arises in the mind when familiar roots return in altered shapes across Dutch, German, Norwegian, Swedish, and Old English.

The Limit of Complexity is a philosophical investigation into one of the defining conditions of the contemporary world: the moment when complexity, once a source of power and progress, begins to turn against the systems that generate it. Moving across natural systems, economics, technology, politics, ethics, and human cognition, Boris Kriger examines how accumulation, interconnection, and scale quietly transform coherence into fragility. This book does not oppose complexity, nor does it idealize simplicity.

Is it sexist to say that “men are trash”? Can white people be victims of racism? Do we bear any individual responsibility for climate change? We’ve all wrestled with questions like these, whether we’re shouting at a relative across the dinner table, quarreling with old classmates on...

This short audio on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life.

Diese EINE Eigenschaft ist die Grundlage für deine Fähigkeit, kritisch zu denken. Weißt du, was das ist? Es ist die Fähigkeit, die RICHTIGEN Fragen zu stellen. Was wäre das Leben ohne Fragen? Es gab eine Zeit, in der man sich darauf verlassen konnte, dass die Antworten, die man von der Regierung, den Medien, der Religion, von Fachleuten, Freunden und der Familie erhielt, richtig waren.

This is an essay on forgiveness, not in the religious sense, but in a purely secular meaning, as in, when one person forgives another person for something they did wrong. The primary focus is on self-forgiveness, where a person forgives themselves, a concept which this essay explains as "moral bankruptcy," using debts and credits and bankruptcy and economics and finance as a metaphor for the moral debts and moral credits that you owe to yourself and to others, that you owe it to yourself to be a good person.

Während der Cola-Kriege in den 1980er-Jahren wetteiferten Coca-Cola und Pepsi darum, Amerikas beliebteste Limonade zu werden. Doch Coca-Cola nutzte diese Fähigkeit nicht zum richtigen Zeitpunkt und dieser Fehler hätte beinahe eines der ältesten und wertvollsten Unternehmen Amerikas in den Ruin getrieben.
