Our analog past has been replaced with digital realities. The world itself is being reprogrammed. This statement might seem like a quippy metaphor, but it actually reveals something much more concrete. The central claim of this book is that digital technologies are rewiring the way that society understands and thinks about global order as Cyberspace changes the content of international borders. Understanding these developments is critical to understanding the future of global society.
Download or read book The Great Reset written by Alex Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Great Reset: And the War for the World, the most controversial man on earth Alex Jones gives you a full analysis of The Great Reset, the global elite's international conspiracy to enslave humanity and all life on the planet. If you really want to know what’s happening in the world, this is the one book you must read now. Alex Jones is the most censored man on the planet and you should ask yourself why that is. There is a powerful authoritarian takeover in process that is seeking to capture the entire human system and turn it into an artificial factory farm controlled system. We are in a war for the future of the world. In this book, you will hear from the world’s elites, from their own mouths, what they are planning for you and your families and you will learn what you can do to fight it. From central bankers, corporate billionaires, and corrupted government officials, global elites have been organizing a historic war on humanity under a trans-humanist, scientific dictatorship. Alex Jones was the first major figure to expose the World Economic Forum’s agenda. He has dedicated the last 30 years of his life to studying The Great Reset, conducting tens of thousands of interviews with top-level scientists, politicians, and military officials in order to reverse engineer their secrets and help awaken humanity. The Great Reset: And the War for the World chronicles the history of the global elites' rise to power and reveals how they’ve captured the governments of the world and financed The Great Reset to pave the way for The New World Order. Once dubbed a conspiracy theory, but now openly promoted by the most powerful corporations and governments, The Great Reset is a planned attempt to redistribute all the world’s wealth and power into the hands of banks, corporations, billionaires, and The World Economic Forum. If you read one book in a lifetime, this is it. In The Great Reset: And the War for the World, you will discover from the self-appointed controllers of the planet in their own words, their plan for what they call the final revolution, or The Great Reset. The only way this corporate fascist conspiracy can succeed is if the people of the world are not aware of it. And this book lays out their sinister blueprint and how to stop it. While many great books have been written to help awaken people to this sinister agenda, no author has ever spent as much time and research on The Great Reset as Alex Jones. The Great Reset: And the War for the World is the undisputed trailblazer for understanding what’s happening and how to stop it.
Download or read book Reprogramming the American Dream written by Kevin Scott and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller ** In this essential book written by a rural native and Silicon Valley veteran, Microsoft’s Chief technology officer tackles one of the most critical issues facing society today: the future of artificial intelligence and how it can be realistically used to promote growth, even in a shifting employment landscape. There are two prevailing stories about AI: for heartland low- and middle-skill workers, a dystopian tale of steadily increasing job destruction; for urban knowledge workers and the professional class, a utopian tale of enhanced productivity and convenience. But there is a third way to look at this technology that will revolutionize the workplace and ultimately the world. Kevin Scott argues that AI has the potential to create abundance and opportunity for everyone and help solve some of our most vexing problems. As the chief technology officer at Microsoft, he is deeply involved in the development of AI applications, yet mindful of their potential impact on workers—knowledge he gained firsthand growing up in rural Virginia. Yes, the AI Revolution will radically disrupt economics and employment for everyone for generations to come. But what if leaders prioritized the programming of both future technology and public policy to work together to find solutions ahead of the coming AI epoch? Like public health, the space program, climate change and public education, we need international understanding and collaboration on the future of AI and work. For Scott, the crucial question facing all of us is this: How do we work to ensure that the continued development of AI allows us to keep the American Dream alive? In this thoughtful, informed guide, he offers a clear roadmap to find the answer.
Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
Download or read book Reprogramming Japan written by Marie Anchordoguy and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have state policies influenced the development of Japan's telecommunications, computer hardware, computer software, and semiconductor industries and their stagnation since the 1990s? Marie Anchordoguy's book examines how the performance of these industries and the economy as a whole are affected by the socially embedded nature of Japan's capitalist system, which she calls "communitarian capitalism."Reprogramming Japan shows how the institutions and policies that emerged during and after World War II to maintain communitarian norms, such as the lifetime employment system, seniority-based wages, enterprise unions, a centralized credit-based financial system, industrial groups, the main bank corporate governance system, and industrial policies, helped promote high tech industries. When conditions shifted in the 1980s and 1990s, these institutions and policies did not suit the new environment, in which technological change was rapid and unpredictable and foreign products could no longer be legally reverse-engineered.Despite economic stagnation, leaders were slow to change because of deep social commitments. Once the crisis became acute, the bureaucracy and corporate leaders started to contest and modify key institutions and practices. Rather than change at different times according to their specific economic interests, Japanese firms and the state have made similar slow, incremental changes.
Download or read book Transform Your Thinking Transform Your Life written by Bill Winston and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Bill Winston, broadcast nationwide in over 100 million homes on the Believer s Walk of Faith program, helps believers renovate their thought life by focusing on who they are in Christ, building success in every area of living. In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul encourages believers to be transformed by renewing their mind. The Greek word for transformed is "metamorphosis"; or "to change." Dr. Winston reveals that believers must believe what God says about them and their situations, more than what their circumstances say. They must build a new way of thinking. Dr. Winston encourages that God s Word takes a higher place than their current situations. God promises an abundant life, not a barely-get-through-it life, but that is where many believers have been living. Readers will begin to discover God s promises and find ways to renew their minds through study and meditation, giving them the inner strength to overcome adversity and find success in every area.

Download or read book The World Computer written by Jonathan Beller and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The World Computer Jonathan Beller forcefully demonstrates that the history of commodification generates information itself. Out of the omnipresent calculus imposed by commodification, information emerges historically as a new money form. Investigating its subsequent financialization of daily life and colonization of semiotics, Beller situates the development of myriad systems for quantifying the value of people, objects, and affects as endemic to racial capitalism and computation. Built on oppression and genocide, capital and its technical result as computation manifest as racial formations, as do the machines and software of social mediation that feed racial capitalism and run on social difference. Algorithms, derived from for-profit management strategies, conscript all forms of expression—language, image, music, communication—into the calculus of capital such that even protest may turn a profit. Computational media function for the purpose of extraction rather than ameliorating global crises, and financialize every expressive act, converting each utterance into a wager. Repairing this ecology of exploitation, Beller contends, requires decolonizing information and money, and the scripting of futures wagered by the cultural legacies and claims of those in struggle.

Download or read book How To Lose Weight And Keep it Off By Reprogramming The Subconscious Mind written by Robert Dave Johnston and published by Robert Dave Johnston. This book was released on 2014-09-21 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Would you like to start a diet, stick to it, and lose ALL of the weight you wanted? * Would you like to NOT gain the weight back and remain thin for many years to come? * Would you like to easily say NO to junk food and other foods that you formerly could not resist? * Would you like to be able to make healthy eating choices at all times without struggle or feeling deprived? * Would you like to master your belly and appetites and NEVER be a slave to food and eating? * Would you like to find the inner strength to always make the best choices for you, even if those choices require a bit of sacrifice and/or discomfort? * In short, would you like to SOLVE the weight problem once and for all and enjoy your life thin and with a healthy relationship with food? Helping you to accomplish all of these points is what this book is all about.Here's the bottom line: I was stuck in obesity and binge eating for more than 20 years, during which time I 'trained' myself to believe and act upon all sorts of destructive and negative nonsense. I ate everything and anything that the mind and belly wanted. Even if I was full and my belly felt that it was about to pop, I would continue to eat nonetheless. Food was my drug. I had ZERO ability to resist food; I always gave in. I was completely trapped; overeating day after day, becoming more and more obese and sick, isolated from life and the world and filled with shame, guilt, depression and intense self-hatred. I was, in essence, trapped in a self-made prison where food was the ultimate overseer and lord. It was a vicious cycle: Sadness, rage and self-pity fueled more overeating which, in turn, caused more failure and negativity, which caused more overeating. I was perpetually sabotaging my weight toss efforts, often without realizing it, because pain and unhappiness had (tragically) become second nature. THEN I realized that if I wanted to be free of this poisonous mental chatter, I would have to work at identifying (and overwriting) the conscious and subconscious "fat" patterns that fed the insanity and kept me eating in excess and at the wrong times; the patterns that made me weak in the sight of food and caused me to always be nibbling, grazing and eating, eating and eating. I was fed up and wanted to overcome obesity once and for all. I had to create a new mental program that supported and facilitated my goals rather than destroy them. And none of this is breaking news. We've all have heard of positive thinking, affirmations and visualizations. Here I take those powerful mental tools and apply them directly to weight loss, food and eating. If you have tried to lose weight and fallen short, then implementing the simple but powerful program I outline here will help you to make measurable progress. If you are willing to walk with me and do some work, then this book can become a very powerful ally in your journey towards permanent weight loss. You will be asked to do some introspective work in a journal. You will be asked to put together a reprogramming program tailored specifically to your individual needs and situation. If you give yourself to this work and stick to it as I recommend, there is no doubt that you will begin to see some remarkable changes in the way you relate to food and eating. I had big problems waking up at 3AM and raiding the fridge. After some weeks of following this program, I went to sleep one night and, when I woke up, it was 6AM. I had not gotten up to eat! One lady that was addicted to cream donuts and double sweet latte wrote to tell me that, after following this program, she abruptly stopped. A guy who lived on pizza and beer said that after listening to the tapes for a few weeks, he woke up one morning and decided to change his diet. And, you, too can experience the breakthrough IF you make the commitment with yourself.
