Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Our public elections do not function correctly. Elections have never worked as well as people thought they did, and over the past 200 years, career politicians have found multiple ways (like gerrymandering) to rig elections and insulate themselves from voters. More recently, the integrity of elections also has been eroded, thus opening the door to fraudulent manipulation.Elections are ultimately the only mechanism citizens have to maintain control of their government. Elections must function properly. There are several serious problems that need to be corrected. Excellent solutions are now known for all such problems. One might hope that clearly laying out the problems with their solutions will quickly lead to solid elections. Sadly, that is unlikely.It is politicians in office who must legislate the fixes. Only a small minority of them are sincerely motivated to do so. Most just strive to remain in office and that is facilitated to some extent by elections that do not function as they should. It is virtually impossible to get politicians to do anything they do not want to do. 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. We Homo sapiens are the first and, for the moment, still the only species that has the capacity for rational thought. Clearly, rational thinking has helped us tremendously in many ways, but equally clearly, we have flopped badly in other crucial areas. We have been hanging around so far for 300,000 years. It is high time for us to "pull up our socks" and use our brains to clean up our act for whatever time we have remaining.Everything explores fundamental principles and truths which are universal and apply to virtually everything. It deals primarily with the "universe" of all thinking, reasoning individuals, including their interactions, institutions and societies. The most important things that have happened over the past million years are examined and projected into the future. The purpose is to step back, focus on the big picture, and understand how the whole mess functions under the governance of the laws and principles.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Our species, Homo sapiens, is the first and, so far, still the only species to possess the capability to think rationally. All of the amazing progress that we enjoy could not have happened without rational thought. Obviously, our unique ability is extremely important.Can you define precisely what is and what is not rational thinking? Do you think rationally?Just because we have an ability does not mean that we always - or even usually - use it. We have the ability to run, but most of us do not run very often. Running is kind of hard work, so we do it only when it's important. However, some small fraction of us seems to enjoy running; they do it voluntarily. Rational thinking also is hard work, so many people do as little of it as they possibly can. Fortunately, like runners, some people seem to enjoy rational thinking. Also as with runners, there is a wide range of rational thinking abilities and it takes steady practice to be really good at it.A relatively small cadre of rational thinkers can make contributions that lift and benefit all of society. That surely has happened. However, we are finding out that a small cadre of rational thinking practitioners focused on the scientific disciplines is not sufficient to maintain and advance a free and prosperous society. We are in deep trouble in that regard.In the early chapters, rational thinking and rational self-interest are carefully defined. The high points in the progress of rational thought from its beginning to the present are summarized. We pause in the present to evaluate our condition before proceeding to project the most probable future. It's Homo sapiens from our very beginning to our eventual end. This item is printed on demand.
