Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Every quality-of-life improvement we celebrate seems to quietly erode the communities it was designed to serve. Conventional wisdom fails the people who follow it most faithfully. The institutions that promise protection keep manufacturing the crises that justify their expansion. These are not coincidences. They are patterns, and Parallel Perspectives pulls them apart.Michael Shafia examines the mechanics behind human behavior, institutional power, and the mythologies we mistake for truth, drawing from psychology, philosophy, economics, and evolutionary biology while staying grounded in personal observation. Chapters range from a taxonomy of body modification and its psychological correlates to the hollow careerism of people who thrive in corporate hierarchies because they have no authentic self getting in the way. He reexamines class struggle by implicating workers alongside owners, traces how compassion gets weaponized in political life, and introduces original frameworks for knowledge activation and behavioral change that challenge both academic orthodoxy and the self-help industry. Cultural touchstones from King of the Hill to World of Warcraft keep the abstractions honest. The final chapters confront the quiet, unmarked arrival of artificial general intelligence and what it means for human relevance.Building on his previous work but taking a more personal approach, Shafia does not soften conclusions for palatability. The challenge to the reader is simple: hold contradictory truths in the same frame, look at the forces actually shaping your life, and stop mistaking mythology for explanation Essays dismantling the mythologies behind human behavior, institutional power, and modern delusion through psychology, philosophy, and pop culture This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
