Showing results for "Social Science Theory" in Science & Engineering

Far too often, public discussion of science is carried out by journalists, voters, and politicians who have received their science secondhand. The Story of Western Science shows us the joy and importance of reading groundbreaking science writing for ourselves and guides us back to the masterpieces that have changed the way we think about our world, our cosmos, and ourselves.

Speakeasy conversation about strategy, competition, economics, history, and policy from two non-experts. The episodes include some actual economic Game Theory such as the Prisoner's Dilemma, the Traveler's Dilemma, and the Public Good game. Episodes also include conversations on dilemmas in TV/Movies, sports, and board/card games, as well as the history of military, intelligence (spies), politics, and economics. The objective is simply to think critically about how people make strategic choices regarding the world around them and most importantly, about the people around them.

Artificial intelligence powers Google's search engine, enables Facebook to target advertising, and allows Alexa and Siri to do their jobs. AI is also behind self-driving cars, predictive policing, and autonomous weapons that can kill without human intervention. These and other AI applications raise complex ethical issues that are the subject of ongoing debate. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible synthesis of these issues.

It's raw, it's thoughtful, it's wonderfully weird & most importantly, it's always real. Expect bursts of creativity, tangents that make you wonder if you’re still on the same planet & tiny soulful moments that hit just right. It’s a ride through the unexpected where spontaneity bumps into structure, laughter sneaks in & maybe... just maybe, you'll find a little clarity in the beautiful mess.

With the ongoing advancement of AI and other technologies, our world is becoming increasingly intelligent. From chatbots to innovations in brain-computer interfaces to the possibility of superintelligences leading to the Singularity later this century, our reality is being transformed before our eyes. This is commonly seen as the natural result of progress, but what if there's more to it than that? What if intelligence is an inevitability, an underlying property of the universe?

Each year,John Brockman, publisher of Edge.org, challenges some of the world's greatest scientists, artists, and philosophers to answer a provocative question crucial to our time. In 2014 he asked 175 brilliant minds to ponder: What scientific idea needs to be put aside in order to make room for new ideas to advance? The answers are as surprising as they are illuminating.

The Idea of the World offers a grounded alternative to the frenzy of unrestrained abstractions and unexamined assumptions in philosophy and science today. This book examines what can be learned about the nature of reality based on conceptual parsimony, straightforward logic, and empirical evidence from fields as diverse as physics and neuroscience. It compiles an overarching case for idealism - the notion that reality is essentially mental - from 10 original articles the author has previously published in leading academic journals.

Microeconomics is the calculus of econometrics. @nickcarducci on venmo. Micro-Theory.com is a show about the unforsought utilities of the marginal utility plane of entrants between markets' and skews' complementary and substitutive supply and demand. Money doesn’t surpass loss of utility, value is the equal other side of the coin, elastic by luxurious industry. Population is not rising faster than inflation if that is not disproven marginally, and in this case, from GDP/p rising (marginal change-rate per period) only during slavery and the federal reserve, leisure amortized thrice ...

In Game Changer, the podcast by TWS Partners, we want to share our enthusiasm and passion for game theory and its applications.

Você acha que sabe como e por que faz suas escolhas? Suas preferências políticas, a gorjeta que dá ao garçom, aquele colega de trabalho com uma cara tão amigável de quem você desconfia e até a pessoa com quem você se casa não são opções tão objetivas assim. Leonard Mlodinow, autor do best-seller O andar do bêbado, investiga, de forma divertida e brilhante, como o inconsciente modela nosso comportamento e determina nossas decisões e juízos sobre o mundo, as pessoas, as coisas.

This audiobook narrated by Jennifer Woodward explains why acknowledging diverse eco-social relationships can help us overcome the political polarization that undermines our ability to protect the environment.

Why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about the Soviet Union's nuclear capabilities following World War II? As Vince Houghton, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, shows us, that disastrous failure came just a few years after the Manhattan Project's intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich and knew every detail of the Nazi's plan for an atomic bomb. What changed and what went wrong?

Delve into the insights of Brooks Adams (1848-1927), an influential American historian and a vocal critic of capitalism. Adams proposed that commercial civilizations experience predictable cycles of rise and fall. He argued that as populations cluster in large urban centers and engage in commercial pursuits, their insatiable thirst for wealth leads them to forsake spiritual and creative values. This unchecked greed breeds distrust and dishonesty, ultimately resulting in societal collapse. In his seminal work, The Law of Civilisation and Decay (1895), Adams traced the shifting centers of world ...
