Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think: How Humans Learned to See the Future–and Shape It by Byron Reese

“. . . Byron Reese gets to the heart of what makes humans different from all others.” —Midwest Book Review

What makes the human mind so unique? And how did we get this way?

This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us what we are—and will change how you think about our future.

Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think, Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in.

Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future.

Thoughtful, witty, and compulsively readable, Reese unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts:
Act I: Ancient humans undergo “the awakening,” developing the cognitive ability to mentally time-travel using language
Act II: In 17th century France, the mathematical framework known as ‘probability theory’ is born—a science for seeing into the future that we used to build the modern world
Act III: Beginning with the invention of the computer chip, humanity creates machines to gaze into the future with even more precision, overcoming the limits of our brains
A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, readers will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks that Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Computing Power Drives the Future by William Meisel

Computing Power Drives the Future by William Meisel https://www.amazon.com/Computing-Drives-Future-William-Meisel/dp/1088244149 Computing power has long grown at an exponential rate. That rapid advance has allowed digital systems to do more each year. Computer power crossed a major threshold when it made “Artificial Intelligence” driven by deep neural networks economically feasible. And huge investments are being made in ever-larger computer centers to support AI. This book challenges the assumptions behind those huge investments and explains why the generative AI that is making all the news is over-rated. Computer power crossing a threshold allowed deep neural nets to be practical, and they have indeed been used effectively for many limited applications. Meisel discusses the “next big thing” that exponential growth in computer processing speed will allow. The book provides a realistic description of what we can expect as computer power grows ever more quickly than most past innovations, with major impacts on society, the economy, and competition between countries.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Jesus, the King of Kings by Leela Eapen

Jesus, the King of Kings by Leela Eapen Touchmyheartministries.org https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-King-Kings-Leela-Eapen/dp/B0D9CCZPYG HOW DOES GOD INTERVENE IN OUR HUMAN LIVES? As King Belshazzar saw the finger “writing on the wall” (Daniel 5:5), so did I; in a vision, I saw a hand holding a white piece of chalk, and it was writing and underlining “Jesus, the King of Kings” on a cast-iron bed board. As our bodies need physical food to sustain us, our souls need spiritual food which is the Word of God for our spiritual growth and eternal life. The Bible says, “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). We are not only to live on worldly or perishable food but on His Words that would guide and lead us to the path of righteousness. The more Scriptures stored in your heart, the less room there is for the devil’s schemes. As you gain a new aspect on your life by studying the Scriptures, you will… Have a hunger and thirst for the Word of God Increase your faith in the Lord Learn how an obedient life brings you close to Him Have the spiritual capacity to acknowledge it is the Lord speaking Be blessed beyond measure.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Out from the Shadows: Growing up with Holocaust Survivor Parents (Holocaust Heritage) by Willie Handler

Out from the Shadows: Growing up with Holocaust Survivor Parents (Holocaust Heritage) by Willie Handler https://www.amazon.com/Out-Shadows-Holocaust-Survivor-Heritage/dp/9493322882 Williehandler.com Growing up, the author and his family constantly lived under the shadow of the Holocaust. There was persistent tension at home. He was frequently told: “Finish your dinner. We didn’t have food like this in the camps.” His parents only provided bits and pieces of their Holocaust experiences, since he “didn’t need to know.” A few years ago, Willie Handler decided that he did need to know. Thus began a journey into his family’s past, eventually revealing their extraordinary survival and painful losses. Their stories reflect not only the evil that swept Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, but also the resilience of the human spirit. His parents appeared to have taken some shocking secrets to their graves, forcing the author to view them in a different light. With the acknowledgement of his own buried trauma, and following years of research, he has finally stepped out of the shadows.

Eat or Be Eaten by Dr Rick Bein Rickbein.com https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Be-Eaten-Rick-Bein/dp/1963718011 The issue of food can be interpreted in two ways. As a geographical agriculturist, I have focused on food production around the world, but also on being faced with predatory action. These stories relate such events in my life. Some are humorous and some are educational. my Peace Corps experience provided the spark that led to this series of adventures and observations. Farming strategies vary tremendously around the world, from my home farm in Colorado to those in Brazil, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, Mozambique. The picture depicts a Sudanese feast, where various food items are laid on an outstretched tablecloth on the ground to serve men dressed in formal attire. Only the men are eating and when they are sated the women come to eat what is left over. Notice the only the right hands are touching the food. The left hand is considered foul and would contaminate the food.
