Book Description
ANTI-HOROSCOPE: HUMAN “SOFTWARE” (Series of 12 books) Do you know that people born on July 6 leap years or July 7 common years are not only "windsurfers," who are always on the crest of a fashionable and stylish wave, but also that within the circle of loved ones they are "walking disasters?" Also, they are primitive “party people” with vulgar attempts at originality and erudition in a shiny wrapper... Or, do you know that, for example, once those people, who were born on July 10th of leap years or July 11th of common years choose a deity (personified or not)—they not only regularly make various sacrifices (all the way to the very fact of their existence), but also are ready to "put on the altar" of their beliefs and hobbies anyone, even the closest person? Hence the question: are you sure that you know people, whom you think you know as your own self? Yes, of course, you know them, if we take word-play into account. You really do know them, like you know yourself—that is: just as bad! You know your own and other people's masks and roles, but that is all. You do not believe this? Then, open this book and see for yourself! This book is for those people, who are fed up with "horoscopism," who are tired of listening to nonsense about themselves and other people from psychologists or their "all-knowing" relatives, friends and acquaintances. It will help you save not just some time in your life, but your whole life because otherwise you will spend your entire life on something that is a priori impossible. And, it is impossible not because you are idiots, but because Homo sapiens cannot fully know themselves and other people without an external (and, most importantly, objective) source. Perhaps that is the reason why humanity was left "factory instructions" to each one of us—the Catalog of Human Population. Yes, that is right! There exists the Catalog of Human Population, which you can open and find out everything about any person you are interested in (including yourself)! Information about people presented in this book (and in other eleven books in the series titled Anti-Horoscope: Human "Software") is from there, and not from your favorite horoscope.

Idiot America
Author: Charles Pierce
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0767926153
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER The three Great Premises of Idiot America: · Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units · Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough · Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it With his trademark wit and insight, veteran journalist Charles Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States. Pierce asks how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. But his thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. Erudite and razor-sharp, Idiot America is at once an invigorating history lesson, a cutting cultural critique, and a bullish appeal to our smarter selves.

Distribia
Author: Ali Cheaib
Publisher: Ali Cheaib
ISBN: 0692077413
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
Humanity's primary defining feature is our ability to design systems, but at the same time, such hallmark is our downfall because our systems have the potential for enslaving and destroying the human race. A system is a good servant but an evil master. Not realizing the dangers that lurk within systems, we foolishly enslaved humanity under ghoulish concepts. In this book, we tell the story of a cruel and oppressive system called tribalism. A master-slave social order, which endorsed two classes in society; one endured by abusing and enslaving the other for thousands of years, until the inevitable rise of distribia. Travel with us on a journey in time to a world free of tribalism. To a society free of representation, delegation, intermediation, centralization, and zoning to discover the beautiful way of life of distribia’s fascinating peer-to-peer society.
