Book Synopsis Distorted Truths by : Donald Saunderson
Download or read book Distorted Truths written by Donald Saunderson. This book was released on 2012-10-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work of profound and disciplined research Seba Agyekum levels the fiction fed to Afrikan people surrounding their past and resulting present world condition and proposes a dynamic yet obvious approach to Pan-Afrikan people winning the future.In Distorted Truth, Agyekum, using a multi-disciplinary approach, dismantles that which we have come to accept as Western thought and Judeo-Christian practice, exposing its racist theft, outright bastardization and usurpation of Afrikan cosmology and history. Covering fundamental areas as archeology, paleo- and cultural anthropology, he reevaluates Diop's Two Cradle theory and reveals Western scholars dishonest and fraudulent search for racial anteriority and a non-Afrikan origin of civilization. After thus debunking Western claims and miseducation, he examines the development of civilization across time and high-cultures. Through extensive use of Grimaldi out-migrations to Europe, he relinks the present-day practices, customs and rituals of Grimaldi's most direct descendants today's Mbuti, Twa, San, and Khoi to central, southern and eastern Afrika. He previews two Mande cosmologies (Dogon and Bambara) as examples of fundamental and extant cosmological systems. In Afrikan thought ancestral honor (veneration), body and soul (spiritual) development and transcendence are interwoven with land use, human becoming, and animal/earthly custodianship, creating a balanced relationship between the human being and nature, a perspective antithetical to today's ecological and environmental disruption. Set with an abundance of illustrations, Distorted Truth courses the reader through in-depth exploration of issues from prehistory to pre-dynastic Egypto-Nubian to the Greco-Roman-Byzantine period, the birth and evolvement of the Christ concept, and ultimately concludes with the dawning of the age of European ignorance by closing the fountainhead Nile Valley educational schools or Mysteries System by Roman Emperors Theodosius and Justinian II. Brilliantly researched and annotated, Distorted Truth is a must read and adds to a growing collection of works in the restoration of Afrikan history, the reclamation of the Afrikan worldview, and the refocus of Pan-Afrikan unity.A work of heart, mind and true scholarship, a work geared toward winning the Afrikan future.

Book Synopsis Partial Truths by : James C. Zimring
Download or read book Partial Truths written by James C. Zimring. This book was released on 2022-05-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-food chain once tried to compete with McDonald’s quarter-pounder by introducing a third-pound hamburger—only for it to flop when consumers thought a third pound was less than a quarter pound because three is less than four. Separately, a rash of suicides by teenagers who played Dungeons and Dragons caused a panic in parents and the media. They thought D&D was causing teenage suicides—when in fact teenage D&D players died by suicide at a much lower rate than the national average. Errors of this type can be found from antiquity to the present, from the Peloponnesian War to the COVID-19 pandemic. How and why do we keep falling into these traps? James C. Zimring argues that many of the mistakes that the human mind consistently makes boil down to misperceiving fractions. We see slews of statistics that are essentially fractions, such as percentages, probabilities, frequencies, and rates, and we tend to misinterpret them. Sometimes bad actors manipulate us by cherry-picking data or distorting how information is presented; other times, sloppy communicators inadvertently mislead us. In many cases, we fool ourselves and have only our own minds to blame. Zimring also explores the counterintuitive reason that these flaws might benefit us, demonstrating that individual error can be highly advantageous to problem solving by groups. Blending key scientific research in cognitive psychology with accessible real-life examples, Partial Truths helps readers spot the fallacies lurking in everyday information, from politics to the criminal justice system, from religion to science, from business strategies to New Age culture.
