"This 50-page report outlines concerns about these fully autonomous weapons, which would inherently lack human qualities that provide legal and non-legal checks on the killing of civilians. In addition, the obstacles to holding anyone accountable for harm caused by the weapons would weaken the law's power to deter future violations"--Publisher's website.

The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber,David Wengrow Pdf
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution—from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality—and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation. For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike—either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself. Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what’s really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume. The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision, and a faith in the power of direct action. Includes Black-and-White Illustrations

There is perhaps no more important value than fundamental human equality. And yet, despite large percentages of people affirming the value, the resources available to explain and defend the basis for such equality are few and far between. In his newest book Charles Camosy provides a thoughtful defense of human dignity. Telling personal stories like those of Jahi McMath, Terri Schiavo, and Alfie Evans, Camosy, a noted bioethicist and theologian, uses an engaging style to show how the influence of secularized medicine is undermining fundamental human equality in the broader culture. And in a disturbing final chapter, Camosy sounds the alarm about the next population to fall if we stay on our current trajectory: dozens of millions of human beings with dementia. Heeding this alarm, Camosy argues, means doing two things. First, making urgent and genuine attempts to dialogue with a secularized culture which cannot see how it is undermining one of its most foundational values. Second, religious communities which hold the Imago Dei sacred must mobilize their existing institutions (and create new ones) to care for a new set of human beings our throwaway culture may deem non-persons.
Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism, delivered to produce better results and help employees develop their skills and boundaries of success. Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Kim Scott Malone has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first-hand experience, and distilled clearly to give actionable lessons to the reader, Radical Candor shows how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people both love their work, their colleagues and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.
Step into "Wired Humanity," the profound exploration of our ever-evolving digital world—a landscape where pixels meet personhood and virtual realities intertwine with the tangible. This compelling eBook delves into the heart of what it means to live, work, and exist in an age where technology goes beyond being a tool; it becomes an extension of ourselves. There is no sphere untouched by the digital revolution. "Wired Humanity" begins with the Digital Identity Paradigm, unraveling the intricate ways in which our identities morph within cyberspace. How do our virtual personas impact the real world, and what does it mean to fragment our sense of self across multiple platforms? As we navigate the complex web of online existence, the substance of who we are shifts in mysterious—and sometimes alarming—ways. Through a tapestry of thought-provoking chapters, the book guides readers along the razor-thin line between sharing and secrecy in our Data-Driven Selfhood. It offers a rich examination of social media’s crucible, where we curate ourselves amidst echo chambers and digital pressures, and ventures into virtual worlds where gaming avatars become vessels for identity exploration and community building. But what of our physical bodies in this augmented age? Venturing into the realms of wearables and augmented reality, "Wired Humanity" probes the ethical quandaries of an increasingly cyborgian existence. As the boundaries blur further, the book scrutinizes the transformation of privacy, the balance of power in a world of pervasive surveillance, and the right to digital anonymity. The narrative also spotlights Artificial Intelligence—not merely as a tool but as a mirror, reflecting and sometimes distorting our sense of self. As technology redefines the workforce, reshapes education, and reconstructs the financial landscapes, "Wired Humanity" asks pressing questions Who are we amidst the digits and data? Do our digital livelihoods liberate or ensnare us? Remarkably timely, this eBook delves into the heart of digital citizenship and E-democracy, assessing the rippling impact of connectedness on our political and personal identities. It traverses the ethical terrain of bioinformatics, the convoluted reality of digital relationships, and the frontlines of the battle against propaganda and disinformation. "Wired Humanity" is not just a book; it's a roadmap for navigating the convergence of technology and human experience. Are we prepared for the singularity, merging with machines, or shall we seek solace in digital detox? With precise analysis and eye-opening insights, this work lays bare the emerging contours of a future where humanity is interwoven with the codes it has created. Prepare to be challenged, enlightened, and forever changed as you turn each virtual page and ponder the path ahead for our wired existence.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I’ve Loved) asks, how do you move forward with a life you didn’t choose? “Kate Bowler is the only one we can trust to tell us the truth.”—Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed It’s hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. A beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, until she discovered, at age thirty-five, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human, she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today’s “best life now” advice industry, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness. We are, she finds, as fragile as the day we were born. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another if we’re going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between—and there’s no cure for being human.
The current crisis in thinking the “human” raises questions not only about who or what may come after the human, but also about what happened before. What dark secrets lie in our ancestral past that may be stopping us from becoming human “otherwise”?
