Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - At the start of 2014, I made it my primary goal in life to be peace. As a husband, father of four, teacher, and as someone who tends to have a fairly short temper, I wanted to be the love and peace I know is our true nature, and live the way I know is possible for all of us. So I gave it a crack.Did it work Did I find nirvana Did I become an enlightened master living in a state of constant bliss No. Not even close! But I definitely got a lot better, and before I knew it, my one year of living peacefully had turned into three.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A Different Kind of Book Every major tradition in moral philosophy is prescriptive. Aristotle gives you virtues to cultivate. Kant gives you duties to follow. Mill gives you outcomes to maximize. Rawls gives you principles derived from an original position. Each framework produces verdicts. Each asks you to accept its premises. The Sheraton framework does something categorically different. It gives you a method, and trusts that applying this method honestly will produce ethical truth in the same way that applying mathematical reasoning produces correct answers. The tools for finding ethical truth are not found in a sacred text, tradition, or institutions. They are inside you. The capacity to feel, to ask honest questions, to imagine yourself in another person's position: these are not learned behaviors. They are innate and the foundations which ethical understanding is built. Deriving ethics is reasonably easy, and it relies on 'The Four Intuitions.' These are elusive obvious concepts. Concepts that are intuitive but are so fundamental to our thinking that we often lack the words to describe what we are doing. This book provides the words that define the processes and in so doing, will seem obvious once you read them. Yet, it has taken this long to properly decode these intuitions into a workable framework that any person, in any culture can use to deride ethical truth. This framework has been tested with AI and it allows AI to derive ethical truth remarkably well. This is no longer theory, it's been tested and it works.>Who This Is For This book does not require a background in philosophy. It requires something simpler and possibly harder: the willingness to ask honest questions and follow them wherever they lead. It is for people who have sensed that the moral frameworks handed to them by religion, by culture, by politics, do not hold up under scrutiny. It is for people who want to think clearly about hard questions rather than defer to authority. And it is for anyone who has wondered whether the profound ethical challenges of this moment in history, including the arrival of artificial intelligence, will require something more solid to stand on than inherited convention. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book on memetics, myth and propaganda: how our narratives define the limits of our political and personal identity, how they can be controlled, how the era of humanity may be consigned to myth just as it was defined by it. Many will mark this present moment as the transitional moment the nihilistic id came into plain view in American culture and politics. But it is hardly the product of any single movement or idea, and it is hardly unprecedented. Narrative Machines uses a cut-up, pastiche approach to analyze how sub-cultural and fringe ideas permeate the mainstream, especially through the Internet-from Aleksandr Dugin's faux-postmodern Traditionalism to the cult of personality Reality TV show that has taken over every media outlet, from the gnostic horror of Nick Land's Dark Enlightenment to the Calvinism of identity politics, from the millenarian fervor of Transhumanism to the utopian nightmare of Fascism. A retrofuturist aesthetic unites them all, an 'occulted theology', allegedly secular recreations of the religious impulse, accidental rewrites of the metaphysics of the past. Compiling ten years of writing and research with a series of palimpsest artworks, this assemblage was created for the outsider artists and insider theorists, and everyone else that lives at the fringes. For those opposed to a world formed by a single, monolithic myth, and yet still seek a collective dream in the fractured panopticon of the present. As Antonin Artaud said in The Theater and Its Double, 'All writing is filth.' Help us give birth to an abomination. Philosophical Project This book will help decode the political repercussions of art and media, using the work of theorists such as Delanda, Bataille, Baudrillard, Gray, Zizek, and Benjamin as a springboard. Art Project A series of illustrations accompany the text, using a mix of collage, bricolage and palimpsest repainting, a style inspired by Adbusters, artists of artifice like Bowie and Warhol, satirists of fascist and pop culture like Laibach and NSK. This cut up, derivative method is explored theoretically within the text. We recognize that in a world where nothing is original, everything is source material for appropriation to new purposes. This aesthetic clearly involve a certain wink in the general direction of 90s Utopian-Dystopian Industrial and alt culture, updated as a dark LSD vision of 2015-17 Internet, a series of love (and hate) notes pieced together of other sources and painstakingly re-created and subsumed. These pieces will appear in a variety of art shows, and a forthcoming full-color collectors edition.…

Neuware - One of the servant girls hurried to Nassara's side, her face timid and bashful, and gently she took Nassara's hand and led her to the central mound of cushions. The master remained motionless, watching. Indicating Nassara should sit on the cushions, and then to lay back in the curved hollow of its centre, the girl gestured for Nassara to spread herself, arms and legs open, exposing the fullness of her reposing body. 'Be not stiff, young mistress, ' she instructed. 'Let your body be relaxed, like when you sleep. Be eager for him.' With that she moved back to the man and began to disrobe him, carefully lifting off his outer garment in the practiced manner of one accustomed to the duty. He stood silently, a casual smile on his lips, not taking his eyes from Nassara who, uncertain where to look, feared rebuke if she looked at him, yet fearing to look away.
