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.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before children wore seatbelts, adults instinctively used their arms to protect them during sudden stops, often making injuries worse. This paradox reveals our "temporal blindness," the inability to foresee and value future conditions. In Time Blind Book 1: Rapid Population Decline or Civilization Collapse, Jack Alpert introduces the most urgent and least understood threat to human survival: ourselves. Through decades of cognitive science and systems modeling, Alpert reveals how our civilization is locked on a path toward collapse because we are blind to motions that determine who gets injured and when.With this book, Alpert explains in physical and cognitive terms why population must decline (drastically and rapidly) or our descendants will face mass starvation, conflict, and pre-industrial survival. Using vivid metaphors, real-world data, and engaging video links, he guides readers through the chain of consequences that make business-as-usual a death sentence for civilization. This is a wake-up call that challenges readers to evolve their thinking and glimpse a viable future on the other side of rapid population decline. In the sequel, Time Blind Book 2, Alpert outlines the only known paths to implement that decline, the cultural and technological shifts required to create a non-injury-producing civilization, and what an 80-year transition to global viability could look like. Rapid Population Decline or Civilization Collapse is the first of five books in the Time Blind series, each offering a deeper understanding of humanity's cognitive limits, systemic dangers, and the extraordinary behavioral shifts needed to avoid collapse.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Most of us never question how we learned to think, much less how that learning limits our ability to foresee the consequences of our actions. Yet, this invisible "thinking accent" (shaped by culture, experience, and neglected cognitive development) is steering humanity toward crisis.In Time Blind Book Four: The Development of Temporal Thought, Jack Alpert digs deeper into the mechanics behind temporal blindness - our collective failure to integrate time into decision-making. With the rigor and urgency, Alpert examines how our environments have stunted the development of temporal inference, the very ability to connect present behaviors to their long-term outcomes.Why do we continue to act in ways that undermine our future well-being? Why can't knowledge alone change behavior? Through models, analogies, and thought experiments, Alpert uncovers the missing components of how we learn to think and how we can prevent the cognitive damage before it takes root in the next generation.This fourth volume in the Time Blind series focuses on offering a blueprint for learning environments that foster "temporal sight," and a path toward a civilization that can think ahead before it's too late.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. After coming to the understanding presented in Time Blind Book 1 that civilization cannot survive without rapid population decline, the next question becomes: how do we implement RPD and what are civilization's next steps?In Time Blind Book 2: The Path Forward, Jack Alpert takes readers beyond diagnosis and into design. This sequel explores the only two viable mechanisms that could produce the global no-child behavior needed to reduce humanity to 50 million by the year 2100. This book explains why all other methods, no matter how well-intentioned, fail to scale or act in time.To avoid collapse and create a sustainable future, we must also build something new. Alpert describes how to design non-injury-producing civilizations. These would be three city / states that could lifeboat humanity through the next several centuries. Simultaneously, they would dismantle the toxic legacy of today's infrastructure.Structured around the imperatives of designing the new city / states and then constructing them, this book invites readers to ask: because I'm one of the 8 billion in the exiting community, what role will I play in the 80-year transition to establish the emerging community?Will you help design the lifeboats? Or will you help construct them?Time Blind Book 2: The Path Forward is the second of five books in the Time Blind series. This body of work emerges from fifty years of cognitive science and systems thinking. Together, the Time Blind book series challenges us to see differently, This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. People's common sense sometimes selects behavior that doesn't have good outcomes. At times, a person does not fully gather and integrate the available information into an accurate view of unfolding reality.The book distills what students at the University of Wisconsin's in 1974 learned when they challenged themselves with real world problems that encouraged them to take a look at how they gathered and integrated information. The semester's activities not only made explicit the utilities of system dynamics in understanding these problems, the class activities even added some extensions to that science. Time Blind Book 5 "On Knowing the Meaning of Your Decisions" will add a dynamic dimension to your view of reality.While Time Blind Book 5 was written 50 years ago, long before Jack Alpert researched the concept of time blindness, this book provides tools for checking one's use of available information on problems where the behavior has to be taken today and the outcomes happen in 10 or 100 years. This book will stretch you brain in the nicest way. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
