Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DUANE THE GREAT WRITER... "I would say that my life this time around really started when I met Paul on planet earth. It was Rebazar Tarzs who brought Paul into what he termed 'The Rod of Power'. And this is so, because it is not where one is 'given' The RealPosition, which I have renamed, THE NUWAVIS, it is that they are 'brought into' The RealPosition, and they alone decide whether they will work from The RealPosition or just their personal self, as has been the case with the two who were given the opportunity to Do Something Real after Paul left this dimension. Anyone can stand with The Real UNUversal Guides, but they must be invited and learn to BE Real with them. This is where all The RealFun begins. It is always a challenge to Take The Risk and Do Something Real while you are here, or will you just live like all the other Dumbed Down Humans that are manipulated by the Invented Systems? You must Risk Something to get something!" www.DuaneTheGreatWriter.info

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business World of today is based upon a lot of deception and seems to be okay with most people. Duane The Great Writer is merely 'Reporting the News,' and what each person does with this information is their free will. If people do not mind looking silly and actually stupid to those who control Big Business, then they are the people that can enjoy staying asleep to what is really taking place on the planet earth within the created social structures. But, as a hint, there is a much bigger picture that is possible for everyone, even bigger than knowing what is really taking place with the Deceptions of Big Business. As one gets into the heart of what is really taking place on the earth, they will discover that the Passing Dream they are in is not at all what they have been taught it was or supposed to be. There is a total-takeover going on and all Dumbed Down Humans are the effect of this. www.DuaneTheGreatWriter.Info

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you struggling to do the things you know are important because of how annoying or uninteresting they are? Are you frustrated by the lack of hours in the day? Do you wish you could dictate your schedule instead of just letting things happen and hoping for the best? Once you understand how you are currently spending your time and why, you'll be able to take control of what you accomplish every day and ensure that your actions tie back to your most important values and life priorities. How is this possible? By constructing your very own effort matrix. The effort matrix depicts where your activities lie in the context of importance and interest: 1. Gung-Ho (we love this part of our lives) 2. Grind (things that are vitally important and we know we must do) 3. Guilty Pleasure (fun stuff) 4. Screw It (not worth the effort) Spending your time on activities of high importance and high interest makes you happier. Shifting high-value activities into a place of high importance and high interest makes you more productive. In The Effort Matrix, you will learn how to do this. We'll help you define your high-value activities that tie back to your top priorities, make time every day for them, craft a bulletproof to-do list system that prioritizes itself, and build productivity routines that maximize your efforts throughout the week. Stop wasting time on the things that don't matter and wondering why nothing ever gets done. To live a productive life, we can follow all kinds of guidelines, tools, and rules but we will only be successful if we harness our efforts! This book explores where most people fall short on productivity because of the unwillingness to put effort into the right things. Understand your effort matrix and follow the simple guidelines in this book and you'll become more productive and happier at the same time.

Download or read book The Dumbest Generation written by Mark Bauerlein and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This shocking, surprisingly entertaining romp into the intellectual nether regions of today's underthirty set reveals the disturbing and, ultimately, incontrovertible truth: cyberculture is turning us into a society of know-nothings. The Dumbest Generation is a dire report on the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its impact on American democracy and culture. For decades, concern has been brewing about the dumbed-down popular culture available to young people and the impact it has on their futures. But at the dawn of the digital age, many thought they saw an answer: the internet, email, blogs, and interactive and hyper-realistic video games promised to yield a generation of sharper, more aware, and intellectually sophisticated children. The terms “information superhighway” and “knowledge economy” entered the lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use their knowledge and understanding of technology to set themselves apart as the vanguards of this new digital era. That was the promise. But the enlightenment didn’t happen. The technology that was supposed to make young adults more aware, diversify their tastes, and improve their verbal skills has had the opposite effect. According to recent reports from the National Endowment for the Arts, most young people in the United States do not read literature, visit museums, or vote. They cannot explain basic scientific methods, recount basic American history, name their local political representatives, or locate Iraq or Israel on a map. The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future is a startling examination of the intellectual life of young adults and a timely warning of its impact on American culture and democracy. Over the last few decades, how we view adolescence itself has changed, growing from a pitstop on the road to adulthood to its own space in society, wholly separate from adult life. This change in adolescent culture has gone hand in hand with an insidious infantilization of our culture at large; as adolescents continue to disengage from the adult world, they have built their own, acquiring more spending money, steering classrooms and culture towards their own needs and interests, and now using the technology once promoted as the greatest hope for their futures to indulge in diversions, from MySpace to multiplayer video games, 24/7. Can a nation continue to enjoy political and economic predominance if its citizens refuse to grow up? Drawing upon exhaustive research, personal anecdotes, and historical and social analysis, The Dumbest Generation presents a portrait of the young American mind at this critical juncture, and lays out a compelling vision of how we might address its deficiencies. The Dumbest Generation pulls no punches as it reveals the true cost of the digital age—and our last chance to fix it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As each of us is born into this One-Dimensional Matrix Zone we soon become the conditioned human with other dimensions and worlds attached to us that are unseen and for the most part we do not Recognize. The Whole of Life IS about Becoming MoreAware and Recognizing The RealAwareness, The RealU, we have always been. Because societies have been established as they have, they have created educational systems that have nothing to do with The TruReality Life IS. On the 'surface' it would seem they have, but only those who See Beyond the 'fronts' of the Social Makers will eventually discover RealTruth, moreso than just one of the many 'truths' formed on this physical level. The fear of The Unknown is what holds most people back from Becoming MoreAware, and so the masses will stay unaware of their own TruPotential.

Download or read book The Shallows What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains written by Nicholas Carr and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction: “Nicholas Carr has written a Silent Spring for the literary mind.”—Michael Agger, Slate “Is Google making us stupid?” When Nicholas Carr posed that question, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story, he tapped into a well of anxiety about how the Internet is changing us. He also crystallized one of the most important debates of our time: As we enjoy the Net’s bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Now, Carr expands his argument into the most compelling exploration of the Internet’s intellectual and cultural consequences yet published. As he describes how human thought has been shaped through the centuries by “tools of the mind”—from the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the computer—Carr interweaves a fascinating account of recent discoveries in neuroscience by such pioneers as Michael Merzenich and Eric Kandel. Our brains, the historical and scientific evidence reveals, change in response to our experiences. The technologies we use to find, store, and share information can literally reroute our neural pathways. Building on the insights of thinkers from Plato to McLuhan, Carr makes a convincing case that every information technology carries an intellectual ethic—a set of assumptions about the nature of knowledge and intelligence. He explains how the printed book served to focus our attention, promoting deep and creative thought. In stark contrast, the Internet encourages the rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources. Its ethic is that of the industrialist, an ethic of speed and efficiency, of optimized production and consumption—and now the Net is remaking us in its own image. We are becoming ever more adept at scanning and skimming, but what we are losing is our capacity for concentration, contemplation, and reflection. Part intellectual history, part popular science, and part cultural criticism, The Shallows sparkles with memorable vignettes—Friedrich Nietzsche wrestling with a typewriter, Sigmund Freud dissecting the brains of sea creatures, Nathaniel Hawthorne contemplating the thunderous approach of a steam locomotive—even as it plumbs profound questions about the state of our modern psyche. This is a book that will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

Download or read book The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity written by Carlo M. Cipolla and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterly book" —Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan "A classic" —Simon Kuper, Financial Times An economist explains five laws that confirm our worst fears: stupid people can and do rule the world Throughout history, a powerful force has hindered the growth of human welfare and happiness. It is more powerful than the Mafia or the military. It has global catastrophic effects and can be found anywhere from the world's most powerful boardrooms to your local bar. It is human stupidity. Carlo M. Cipolla, noted professor of economic history at the UC Berkeley, created this vitally important book in order to detect and neutralize its threat. Both hilarious and dead serious, it will leave you better equipped to confront political realities, unreasonable colleagues, or your next dinner with your in-laws. The Laws: 1. Everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals among us. 2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person. 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person while deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses themselves. 4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. 5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
