Wilson-Lee Edward: The Grammar of Angels
/ B

The Grammar of Angels

The Life of a Renaissance Prodigy and His Search for a Philosophy of Everything

Sam Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement

Revenge for the Sixties

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We can make choices that will alter our minds and those that follow: what shall we choose?</li></ul>

Das Handbuch Hochschullehre der Polizei bietet einen umfassenden und zugleich fokussierten Überblick über die Themen der polizeilichen Hochschullehre im deutschsprachigen Raum. Es kombiniert eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme des theoretischen und empirischen Wissens mit praxisnahen Ansätzen zur Anwendung und Gestaltung der Hochschullehre in der Polizei.

Zwei zentrale Perspektiven prägen das Werk:

Die wissenschaftliche Perspektive&nbsp;stellt den aktuellen Wissensstand umfassend dar. Klassische Themen der Hochschullehre werden dabei auf die spezifischen Bedingungen und Besonderheiten der polizeilichen Bildungslandschaft bezogen.

Die praktische Perspektive&nbsp;beleuchtet den Vollzug der polizeilichen Hochschullehre in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen und zeigt konkrete Ansätze zur Umsetzung auf.

Mit diesem Ansatz beansprucht das Handbuch, das Standardwerk für die Gestaltung der polizeilichen Hochschullehre zu sein. Es richtet sich an Professor:innen, Dozent:innen, Polizeipraktiker:innen, Entscheidungstragende und Forschende, die einen praxisnahen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Zugang zu den Themen der polizeilichen Hochschullehre suchen.

Durch die Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis sowie den Austausch aktueller Forschungsergebnisse bietet das Handbuch eine fundierte Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung der polizeilichen Bildungsarbeit. Durch das Vereinen der wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Perspektive auf die Lehre in der Polizei bringt das Handbuch aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse mit- und gegeneinander ins Gespräch.

Handbuch Hochschullehre der Polizei

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet? This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement. Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature. Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

This book investigates the structural limits of the principle of party initiative and the rule of congruence within the contemporary civil procedural system, with a primary focus on Brazilian law and a comparative outlook that resonates with other legal traditions. It critically examines how the liberal-individualist foundations of civil procedure—rooted in 18th- and 19th-century private law—continue to shape the concepts of jurisdiction, action, defense, and process, often in ways that are misaligned with the collective and complex nature of modern legal disputes.Through the lens of financial compensation for mineral exploitation, the work explores the dual role of the Public Power as both rights-holder and representative of diffuse interests, revealing the inadequacy of traditional procedural categories in addressing collective claims. This tension underscores the need to rethink the procedural framework, especially when the judiciary is called upon to act beyond the strict confines of party-submitted claims.The book proposes a shift toward a more systemic and public-oriented understanding of judicial activity, grounded in the principle of proportionality—understood here in its pan-procedural dimension. Rather than evaluating procedural guarantees solely within the boundaries of individual cases, it advocates for a broader analysis that considers the efficiency and legitimacy of the judiciary as a public service. Drawing on constitutional principles and comparative jurisprudence, it argues that judicial decisions must be guided by a balance between means and ends, ensuring that interventions are not only legally sound but also socially and economically justified.This approach is further developed through a critical analysis of the classification of legal actions and the effects of judicial decisions. The book revisits traditional distinctions—declaratory, constitutive, condemnatory, mandamental, and executive—highlighting their historical evolution and practical limitations. It challenges the rigidity of these categories, especially in contexts such as third-party embargoes and fraud against creditors, where procedural formalism can hinder effective legal protection. The discussion extends to the controversial admissibility of declaratory actions on facts, advocating for a more pragmatic and flexible interpretation that aligns with the realities of legal uncertainty and the need for judicial affirmation of rights and obligations.This work offers a renewed theoretical and practical framework for understanding the boundaries of judicial action. By integrating the principles of proportionality and adequate representation into the heart of procedural reasoning, it seeks to reconcile the individualistic origins of civil procedure with the demands of a complex, pluralistic, and constitutionally committed legal order.

Principle of Party Initiative

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.
