Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before cars were equipped with seatbelts, people instinctively put an arm out to shield passengers from sudden stops. However, this seemingly protective reflex often led to worse injuries. This paradox highlights our "temporal blindness," the inability to connect unfolding events to their future outcomes and value what lies ahead.In Time Blind Book Three: Why We Can't See Our Dangerous Future, Jack Alpert exposes how this time blindness extends far beyond the car and road, shaping global crises that threaten our survival. Drawing on decades of engineering research, cognitive science, and real-world examples, Alpert reveals the hidden processes that prevent us from recognizing and responding to oncoming catastrophes.Why do we ignore crucial data about scarce resources, exploding populations, and environmental collapse? How do our learned habits and cultural teachings trap us in a cycle of shortsighted decisions? Through storytelling and concrete analysis, Alpert illuminates the limitations in how we gather, process, and act on information, underscoring the urgent need to "see" farther.This is the third installment in the Time Blind series. As with the previous volumes, Alpert challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about our collective future. Why We Can't See Our Dangerous Future offers a revelation and rallying cry to overcome our cognitive barriers and reclaim the foresight we need in order build a truly viable tomorrow.
