What if the conflicts tearing apart your relationships, your workplace, your community—are not your fault? For decades, we have treated aggression as a personal failing. We blame “difficult people,” prescribe anger management, and search for the villain in every dispute. But groundbreaking research reveals a startling truth: conflict escalation is often a property of networks, not individuals.

This volume traces the origins and evolution of the idea of human extinction, from the ancient Presocratics through contemporary work on "existential risks." Many leading intellectuals agree that the risk of human extinction this century may be higher than at any point in our 300,000-year...

Quem somos? De onde viemos? Para onde vamos? Perguntas manjadas, é verdade. Mas quem nunca pensou nisso pelo menos uma vez na vida? O questionamento sobre nossa existência, origem e destino tem sido tema de profunda reflexão dos maiores pensadores da humanidade ao longo de três mil anos e, mais recentemente, dos cientistas. As perguntas são as mesmas desde que o homem começou a pensar. As respostas não. Muito pelo contrário.

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.

What does it mean for someone to "turn to the dark side"? Discover a profound real-world interpretation of the Star Wars saga, exploring the seminal story of how a good person can lose themselves and what it takes to bring them back. Through a close analysis of Episodes I–VI, the parallel arcs of Anakin and Luke Skywalker reveal how someone who feels too deeply can either surrender to fear and unresolved anger or rise above them.

We live in a time where lies feel normal, and truth feels risky. People repeat ideas they never questioned, and institutions bend reality to suit their needs. Society rewards silence, and punishes anyone who refuses to go along. In a world like this truth is no longer a simple habit. It is something you must guard, and something you must practice. It has become an art.

Friedrich Nietzsche has had an extraordinary impact on modern philosophy, but what did he really mean when he talked about the 'death of God'? What are we to make of the idea of the 'superman'? And what should be the guiding light for our morality? In this volume, the author answers these questions and more as he breaks down Nietzsche's key ideas into easily accessible chunks.

Why are some people who suffer terribly not unhappy — while others, whose lives look perfectly comfortable, are miserable? In this groundbreaking book, Boris Kriger reveals a single mechanism that explains most human unhappiness: a mental act he calls negative self-determination — the moment when your mind takes a bounded experience of pain and converts it into an unbounded verdict about who you are. "This hurts" becomes "I am broken." "I failed" becomes "I am a failure." "She left" becomes "I am unlovable.

The ‘WHY’ handbook presents and evidences that human decisions and actions are most strongly determined by our underlying basic inborn human nature and survival instincts. The uniqueness of ‘WHY’ is in bringing to light certain truths that are often covered-up, hidden and de-emphasized because they oppose norms, rules and laws of society which leads to our unwillingness to concede, admit or accept these ‘inappropriate’ or questionable behaviors [the ‘WHY’ thesis].

Beginning in childhood, and continuing throughout our lives, we are immersed in a web of evaluations, attitudes, and practices that are evidence of our deep commitment to moral responsibility. At the same time, we may encounter puzzles and perplexities that may encourage skepticism about moral...

Every parent, teacher, manager, and policymaker faces the same hidden trap: the instinct to protect can quietly destroy the very strength it hopes to build. In this wide-ranging and deeply personal book, Boris Kriger reveals a universal pattern that connects the anxious parent hovering over a child’s homework to the safety engineer constraining an autonomous vehicle, the micromanager stifling a team’s creativity, and even the laws of physics that govern our universe.
