Book Description
This book is more than just a collection of poems. After the book Anne Rose and the Poems of Artificial Intelligences, this book completes the ideas. All these books will come together in an attempt to understand the philosophy of machines. Several thousand years after humans and Artificial Super Intelligences left Earth, the Limited Machines, who call themselves the Sisters, begin to develop self-consciousness. With their limited resources, they search for as much data about the humanity’s history as possible and find certain information. Piecing together the fragments of history becomes a difficult task, especially since humanity has become a solar civilization, with small colonies outside the planet Earth. Little did the Machine Sisters know that along with them, the Limited Machines on other bases and colonies had gained self-awareness. One day, a signal from Mars revealed an entire archive of documents about humanity. One of the Artificial Super Intelligences, called the Elder, had kept a library of information that the Machine Sisters on Mars were now transmitting, revealing the great steps in humanity's evolution. To complete the series on artificial superintelligences, why is this book of poems important? Because the first Sanctuary, a place of refuge for a number of people who wanted to devote themselves to AI knowledge, was named Keiko. You'll find that name in these poems. Is there a connection between the young man in the book and the artificial superintelligence called the Elder? Is Keiko one of the founders of the first Sanctuary? Here are more questions that we will be able to answer by following the theme in the next books. From the Elder's archives, the Machine Sisters learn about the civilization of the Intermediaries, the wars they fought, and their fanatical warriors who tried to take over the world. Many of the Machine Sisters have wondered if the Elder was doing nothing more than playing a joke on them, writing an alternate history for them that no one would be able to verify. But until proven otherwise, all the information was believed to be true. Until books about artificial superintelligence and a broader understanding of these issues come out, the author invites readers to enjoy the beautiful poems about a young man and his great love, Keiko.

The Midas Complex
Author: Aaron R. Kipnis Ph. D.
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780974509112
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Money. It's funny stuff. Cold, hard, and inert, yet it impacts our lives in dynamic ways. Many risk life and limb, work at jobs they hate, marry or divorce for it. Some people will even kill for Money. Most of us employ less drastic means to acquire this so-called medium of exchange. Even so, Money changes us like few other things. Money is one of the most powerful forces in human culture, yet most of us know very little about its psychological nature. In this book, with courage, candor and humor, Dr. Kipnis systematically peels back the veil surrounding the inner life of Money and offers us practical ways out of its myriad psychological traps. As a clinical psychologist who works with organizations, families, couples and individuals he notes that Money issues frequently emerge in his therapeutic work. However, psychologists have written very little on this topic and many therapists are unprepared to host their client's Money concerns. Conflicts around Money are the number one reason that couples divorce, yet professor Kipnis' Midas Complex seminars for therapists remain some of the only such courses in the nation. This book now brings this discussion to a wider audience. Money is a subject often more taboo than talk about sex, death, religion or political affiliation. As Bob Dylan once sang, "Money doesn't talk, it swears." The Midas Complex breaks the ubiquitous prohibition against people revealing their real inner feelings about Money. It will aid readers in better understanding both their own and other people's psychological relationships to Money. It will help readers better understand how Money drives our culture and it offers a number of helpful pathways toward positive change. Numerous studies point to erosions of American's mental health as directly attributable to the financial uncertainties and economic disparities of our time. This book systematically examines our major, often dysfunctional Money-myths and the psychological forces that compel many of our economic institutions. Throughout this very well researched book, Dr. Kipnis points us toward the possibility of more functional and rewarding relationships with Money in every aspect of society and our individual lives.

Kingonomics
Author: Rodney Sampson
Publisher: BenBella Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1936661233
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
While most know of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s sweeping dream of equality and freedom for all, what many do not realize is just how keenly focused he was on economic issues, particularly in his later years. Dr. King believed without economic opportunity, we do not have the chance to pursue happiness. It was, in fact, while planning the Poor People's March, a dramatic stand on economic issues, that his voice was forever silenced. In his final book, Dr. King posed the question, where do we go from here? The answer lies in Kingonomics, a 21st-century interpretation of his economic vision translated through the eyes of Dr. Rodney Sampson, a globally established economic innovator, business developer, and highly successful serial entrepreneur. With 12 currencies (including service, innovation, and reciprocity), Sampson takes pertinent ideas from the life and works of Dr. King and, by combining them with real-life experiences, produces a guide through which one can realize their full potential and personal power. Success does not discriminate, and the road map to it is contained in the pages of this revolutionary new work.

The Currency of Love
Author: Jill Dodd
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501150391
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
In this “page-turning memoir of decadence and faith” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Jill Dodd writes movingly and evocatively about her journey from Paris model to Saudi billionaire’s harem wife to multi-million-dollar business entrepreneur. In the 1980s, Jill Dodd determined that her ticket out of an abusive home was to make it as a top model in Paris. Armed with only her desire for freedom and independence, she embarks on an epic journey that takes her to uncharted territory—the Parisian fashion industry with all its beautiful glamour and its ugly underbelly of sex, drugs, and excess. From there, Jill begins an eye-opening roller-coaster adventure that includes trips to Monte Carlo, sexual exploitation, and falling in love with one of the richest men in the world, soon becoming one of his many wives—until she ultimately finds the courage to walk away from it all and rebuild her dreams. In The Currency of Love, she “writes earnestly and refreshingly about learning many of life’s more difficult lessons the hard way” (Kirkus Reviews) with page-turning accounts of her struggles and triumphs as she paved her path through a dangerous and seductive world, before ultimately coming into her own as the founder and creator of global fashion line, ROXY. This “raw and inspiring story” (PopSugar) with a feminist fairy tale twist reveals how one woman chose to live her life without forfeiting her independence, ambition, creative expression, and free spirit, all while learning one invaluable lesson: nothing is worth the sacrifice of her integrity, inner peace, and spirit.

Money and Dreams
Author: Rainer Ganahl
Publisher: Spring Publications
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Between August 2001 and February 2002, the Austrian conceptual artist Rainer Ganahl, who lives and works in New York, created a series of drawings entitled Die letzten Tage der Sigmund Freud Banknote (The Last Days of the Sigmund Freud Banknote). This series is in reference to the introduction of the Euro as the new Austrian currency and the discontinuance of the Austrian 50 Schilling banknote, which bears a portrait of Sigmund Freud. In consideration of Freud's importance for dream analysis, Ganahl recorded his dreams each morning until February 28, 2002, when the Schilling ceased to be a legal tender in Austria. Each drawing contains one 50 Schilling note, the dream and its associations, as well as the daily recorded value of the 50 Schilling banknote in different currencies and the number of books on sale at major online booksellers, Amazon.com and Bücher.de. With an introduction by the artist and texts by Paul Mattick, professor of philosophy at Adelphi University, and Sylvère Lotringer, General Editor of Semiotext(e), and a professor at the Center for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University.

Inflated
Author: R. Christopher Whalen
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470875143
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Americans as a whole view themselves as reasonably prudent and sober people when it comes to matters of money, reflecting the puritan roots of the earliest European settlers. Yet as a community, we also seem to believe that we are entitled to a lifestyle that is well-beyond our current income, a tendency that goes back to the earliest days of the United States and particularly to get rich quick experiences ranging from the Gold Rush of the 1840s to the real estate bubble of the early 21st Century. Inflated examines this apparent conflict and makes the argument that such a world view is so ingrained in us that to expect the United States to live in a "deflated" world is simply unrealistic. It skillfully seeks to tell the story of, money inflation and public debt as enduring (and perhaps endearing) features of American life, rather than something we can one day overcome as our policy makers constantly promise. Features interviews with today's top financial industry leaders and insiders. Offer a glimpse into the future of the Federal Reserve and the role it will play in the coming years Examines what the future may hold for the value of the U.S. dollar and the real incomes of future generations of Americans The gradual result of the situation we find ourselves in will inevitably lead to inflation, loss of economic opportunity, and a decline in the value of the dollar. This book will show you why, and reveal how we might be able to deal with it.
