Planet Stupid: How Earth Got Dumber and Dumber by Ranty McRanterson Pdf

America is approaching MEANING ZERO. Jean Baudrillard wrote, "We live in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning." When meaning vanishes, emotion fills the vacuum. Emotion is the only thing that means anything to most people these days. They slavishly worship their own feelings and experiences, and trash any notion of objective Truth. They proclaim their own truth. Everyone these days believes whatever they want to believe, regardless of any facts to the contrary. This is the post-facts world, the post-truth world. The only good news is fake news telling you exactly what you want to hear. All fake news with which you agree is true; all fake news with which you disagree is disgusting fake news! That's the way this game is played. Believe whatever serves your agenda, and dismiss anything that doesn't. This is Planet Stupid, and it's getting stupider with every passing second. Everything that could make it more intelligent is rejected and loathed. If that's not dumb, what is?

Harry and Lloyd: Irrational Treasure (A Dumb & Dumber Original Story) by Steve Foxe Pdf

Go on an epic adventure with Harry and Lloyd - the stars of the hit Dumb & Dumber franchise - as middle school students, in this hilarious illustrated novel! Despite their exhausted history teacher’s best efforts to get them excluded from the trip, middle-schoolers Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas join their classmates on a special weekend-long trip to America’s capital, Washington, D.C. Shortly after arriving, the boys wander off the guided path at the Museum of American History, where they find a very suspicious-looking security guard seemingly breaking into one of the cases. This doesn’t ring any mental alarm bells for Harry and Lloyd, who are instead excited and fascinated by the case’s contents, even as the security guard tries to hush them up and avoid attracting attention.Unfortunately, Harry and Lloyd end up setting off the actual alarm bells, and the “security guard” makes a break for it, but not before dropping a coded map that has certain locations around Washington, D.C. marked with arcane symbols. The boys have just one thought: SCAVENGER HUNT! Soon, Harry and Lloyd (and their exasperated classmate Tini) embark on a romp through Washington DC to find everything on this “scavenger hunt,” all while being trailed by the thief who is after the REAL treasure the map leads to.Part Nicholas Cage heist of the declaration of independence, part hilarious middle grade adventure, “Irrational Treasure” is sure to be a hit of fans of Dumb & Dumber, and kids who are new to the franchise alike!

Profiles in Ignorance by Andy Borowitz Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER *WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER * Andy Borowitz, “one of the funniest people in America” (CBS Sunday Morning), brilliantly “chronicles our embrace of anti-intellectualism” (Walter Isaacson) in American politics, from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle, from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, to its apotheosis in Donald J. Trump. Andy Borowitz has been called a “Swiftian satirist” (The Wall Street Journal) and “one of the country’s finest satirists” (The New York Times). Millions of fans and New Yorker readers enjoy his satirical news column “The Borowitz Report.” Now, in Profiles in Ignorance, he delivers “a wittily alarming polemic that tracks the evolution of American politics from grounds for gravitas to festival of idiocy” (The New York Times). Borowitz argues that over the past fifty years, American politicians have grown increasingly allergic to knowledge, and mass media have encouraged the election of ignoramuses by elevating candidates who are better at performing than thinking. Starting with Ronald Reagan’s first campaign for governor of California in 1966 and culminating with the election of Donald J. Trump to the White House, Borowitz shows how, during the age of twenty-four-hour news and social media, the US has elected politicians to positions of great power whose lack of the most basic information is terrifying. In addition to Reagan, Quayle, Bush, Palin, and Trump, Borowitz covers a host of congresspersons, senators, and governors who have helped lower the bar over the past five decades. Profiles in Ignorance aims to make us both laugh and cry: laugh at the idiotic antics of these public figures, and cry at the cataclysms these icons of ignorance have caused. But most importantly, the book delivers a call to action and a cause for optimism: History doesn’t move in a straight line, and we can change course if we act now.

Profiles in Ignorance by Andy Borowitz Pdf

Named One of 7 Best Nonfiction Books of the Fall by Kirkus Reviews Andy Borowitz, “one of the funniest people in America” (CBS Sunday Morning), brilliantly examines the intellectual deterioration of American politics, from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle, from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, to its apotheosis in Donald J. Trump. The winner of the first-ever National Press Club award for humor, Andy Borowitz has been called a “Swiftian satirist” (The Wall Street Journal) and “one of the country’s finest satirists” (The New York Times). Millions of fans and New Yorker readers enjoy his satirical news column “The Borowitz Report.” Now, in Profiles in Ignorance, he offers a witty, spot-on diagnosis of our country’s political troubles by showing how ignorant leaders are degrading, embarrassing, and endangering our nation.

The Crystal Spheres of the Illuminati by Adam Weishaupt Pdf

700 years ago, religion made much more sense to people than it does now. It was part of a coherent worldview linking all of the knowledge of the world then available, including the science and cosmology of the time. Religion nowadays seems rather ridiculous because the modern paradigm of scientific materialism has destroyed the link between humanity and the divine order. To be religious in the past wasn't stupid; now it is. This book explores the ancient Greek and medieval cosmology that supported the view that Earth was specially created by God. The "crystal spheres" of the heavens, with Earth at the centre, were beautiful, wondrous and inspiring. They fitted in perfectly with ideas of spirituality, angels and astrology. This is one of a series of books by the Pythagorean Illuminati, designed to reveal the absurdity and untenability of the Abrahamic religions in the modern scientific era.

The Mutants` Rise& Homo Stupidligence` Demise by Benjamin Katz Pdf

Human nature is a fusion of a beast, intelligent animal, and a potential noble/higher being than we are, and therefore the four most important questions and answers in our future journey are: 1. Are we destroying life conditions on earth? Definitely: yes! 2. Why do we do this against ourselves? We do it because we lack far sight and wisdom to understand the ill consequences of our actions. 3. Are we not Homo sapiens? Not at all. From our actions throughout history and currently, it is obvious that we are Homo Stupidilgence, both intelligent and stupid, constructive, and destructive. 4.What can we do, to save earth as habitat place for life, and ourselves as evolving beings? We must evolve beyond our mental / cognitive constraints and conflicts. There is no other way to help us out of this self- created destructiveness. It is too late for us as we have out- smarted ourselves into self -destruction!

Zane and the Hurricane: A Story of Katrina by Rodman Philbrick Pdf

Newbery Honor author Rodman Philbrick presents a gripping yet poignant novel about a 12-year-old boy and his dog who become trapped in New Orleans during the horrors of Hurricane Katrina. Zane Dupree is a charismatic 12-year-old boy of mixed race visiting a relative in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hits. Unexpectedly separated from all family, Zane and his dog experience the terror of Katrina's wind, rain, and horrific flooding. Facing death, they are rescued from an attic air vent by a kind, elderly musician and a scrappy young girl--both African American. The chaos that ensues as storm water drowns the city, shelter and food vanish, and police contribute to a dangerous, frightening atmosphere, creates a page-turning tale that completely engrosses the reader. Based on the facts of the worst hurricane disaster in U.S. history, Philbrick includes the lawlessness and lack of government support during the disaster as well as the generosity and courage of those who risked their lives and safety to help others. Here is an unforgettable novel of heroism in the face of truly challenging circumstances.
