amazing rebuttal of Enlightenment Now
Revisado: 01-23-22
the book itself can be summarized as "things are more difficult and complex, as we first think."
it's an excellent rebuttal of the over simplified ideas of non historians writing about history
Looking at Steven Pinker, Harari etc.
Pinker should read this book. he could learn sth.

Historia
Consciousness creates all material reality. Biological processes do not create consciousness. This conceptual breakthrough turns traditional scientific thinking upside down. In An End to Upside Down Thinking, Mark Gober traces his journey. He explores compelling scientific evidence from a diverse set of disciplines, ranging from psychic phenomena to near-death experiences to quantum physics and beyond.

Horrible
Revisado: 09-12-20
Completely misunderstands what science is about. So bad. How do you know consciousness exists? This is just logic idiocy

Historia
Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.

Amazing book still relevant 10 years after its release
Revisado: 09-07-20
With BLM gaining attention, I was wondering about the reasons behind the situation in the United States. This book gives an insightful answer shocking, well motivated and sharp. A delight to listen. (If it was not so depressing)

Historia
Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West but worldwide.

Enlightenment, not really ...
Revisado: 08-14-20
The author mixes anecdotes and cherry picks data to provide a strange view on human progress. The Enlightenment was not as enlightened as the author believes.
It seems he wants to get back at the time we’re racist gentlemen discussed topics in their salons with a concept of free speech that keeps women and non-Western people out.
Not worth to buy.

Historia
Whether looking at intelligence or emotion, cognition or behavior, science has continued to tell us that men and women are fundamentally different. Biologists claim that women are better suited to raising families or are, more gently, uniquely empathetic. Men, on the other hand, continue to be described as excelling at tasks that require logic, spatial reasoning, and motor skills. But a huge wave of research is now revealing an alternative version of what we thought we knew.

Sets the record straight
Revisado: 08-03-20
I always wondered why Pinker, Peterson and others seemed to strike a strange cord with their reasoning. Saini does beautiful work in writing and argumentation. Great listen as well.

Historia
It is widely understood that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution completely revolutionized the study of biology. Yet, according to David Sloan Wilson, the Darwinian revolution won’t be truly complete until it is applied more broadly - to everything associated with the words “human,” “culture,” and “policy.”

Rather disappointing
Revisado: 07-26-20
The author starts with an interesting premise, yet I goes into trivial observations and simple explanations.
