Taschenbuch. Condición: 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. …

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Ideas can be powerful. They can spread with limited friction, replicate without notice, and outlive the people who invented them. When a bad idea acquires success - when it is taught in universities, celebrated in the press, and endorsed by the most powerful people in the room - it stops being an idea. It becomes an authority. Mr. Neutron is the story of how six false premise memes quietly dismantled the business ethics of the "Not Quite Golden Age" of American corporate life - not through conspiracy or malice, but through the ordinary human tendency to respond to incentives and to follow authority even if the demands of authority feel wrong. Good people can do bad things while thinking they are doing the right thing. That is the power of authority. Authority does not need to be a person, it can be an idea or set of ideas accepted as conventional wisdom. One man stands at the center of this story - not because he was uniquely villainous, but because he was uniquely positioned: at the helm of one of the world's most visible corporations, at exactly the moment when a set of deeply flawed ideas needed a champion. He gave them one. His ideas spread. The damage accumulated quietly, below the waterline, for decades before anyone was forced to reckon with it. This book uses Mr. Neutron's story as a lens. What it examines is the systems we build, the ideas we adopt without question, and the human cost of getting the foundations wrong. It is a warning, a diagnosis, and an argument for something better. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Something feels wrong. Not broken-appliance wrong. Wrong at a deeper level - as if the system is working exactly as designed, and the design itself is the problem. You are not imagining this. The anxiety epidemic sweeping the developed world is not neurosis or political bias. It is accurate perception. Our civilization is running on a broken axiom - that infinite growth is possible on a finite planet - and the cracks are everywhere: in the debt, the ecology, the inequality, the meaning crisis that no amount of GDP can paper over. Infinite Development offers something rare: not another diagnosis of what's wrong, but a coherent architecture for what comes next. At its heart is a deceptively simple idea: money should be based on energy - something real, measurable, and universal - and watch the entire incentive structure of civilization realign. Conservation becomes wealth. Efficiency becomes prosperity. Nuclear weapons become currency. The solar sun that falls equally on every nation becomes the foundation of a monetary system that belongs to everyone. This is not utopia. It does not require better humans. It requires a better operating system - one that makes the rational thing and the right thing the same thing, by design rather than by exception. The transition from a Star Wars civilization to a Star Trek one is not science fiction. It is an engineering problem. The designs are on the table. The builders are needed.
