The Front Runner (All the Truth Is Out Movie Tie-in) by Matt Bai Pdf

Now a major motion picture "The Front Runner" starring Hugh Jackman An NPR Best Book of the Year In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart—a dashing, reform-minded Democrat—seemed a lock for the party’s presidential nomination and led George H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. Then, in one tumultuous week, rumors of marital infidelity and a newspaper’s stakeout of Hart’s home resulted in a media frenzy the likes of which had never been seen before. Through the spellbindingly reported story of the Senator’s fall from grace, Matt Bai, Yahoo News columnist and former chief political correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, shows the Hart affair to be far more than one man’s tragedy: rather, it marked a crucial turning point in the ethos of political media, and the new norms of life in the public eye. All the Truth Is Out is a tour de force portrait of the American way of politics at the highest level, one that changes our understanding of how we elect our presidents and how the bedrock of American values has shifted under our feet.

The Ever-Loving Truth by Voddie Baucham Pdf

Voddie Baucham has a message for Christians in today's postmodern culture-it's time to take a stand for the truth. The Ever-Loving Truth addresses the cost of being a twenty-first century Christian in a world quickly running away from the concept of absolute truth much less the knowledge and wisdom of truth. But the unchanging truth of God's Word still holds preeminence in relevance and answers to contemporary life issues. The Ever-Loving Truth shows how committed Christians in society today-just like the New Testament writers, Peter and John-can, as followers of Christ, stand humbly but boldly in the marketplace of ideas and proclaim the truth to a culture void of everlasting answers.

Blade Runner 2049 and Philosophy by Robin Bunce,Trip McCrossin Pdf

Blade Runner 2049 is a 2017 sequel to the 1982 movie Blade Runner, about a world in which some human-looking replicants have become dangerous, so that other human-looking replicants, as well as humans, have the job of hunting down the dangerous models and “retiring” (destroying) them. Both films have been widely hailed as among the greatest science-fiction movies of all time, and Ridley Scott, director of the original Blade Runner, has announced that there will be a third Blade Runner movie. Blade Runner 2049 and Philosophy is a collection of entertaining articles on both Blade Runner movies (and on the spin-off short films and Blade Runner novels) by twenty philosophers representing diverse backgrounds and philosophical perspectives. Among the issues addressed in the book: What does Blade Runner 2049 tell us about the interactions of state power and corporate power? Can machines ever become truly conscious, or will they always lack some essential human qualities? The most popular theory of personhood says that a person is defined by their memories, so what happens when memories can be manufactured and inserted at will? We already interact with non-human decision-makers via the Internet. When embodied AI becomes reality, how can we know what is human and what is simulation? Does it matter? Do AI-endowed human-looking replicants have civil and political rights, or can they be destroyed whenever “real” humans decide they are inconvenient? The blade runner Deckard (Harrison Ford) appears in both movies, and is generally assumed to be human, but some claim he may be a replicant. What’s the evidence on both sides? Is Niander Wallace (the-mad-scientist-cum-evil-corporate-CEO in Blade Runner 2049) himself a replicant? What motivates him? What are the impacts of decision-making AI entities on the world of business? Both Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 have been praised for their hauntingly beautiful depictions of a bleak future, but the two futures are very different (and the 2019 future imagined in the original Blade Runner is considerably different from the actual world of 2019). How have our expectations and visions of the future changed between the two movies? The “dream maker” character Ana Stelline in Blade Runner 2049 has a small but pivotal role. What are the implications of a person whose dedicated mission and task is to invent and install false memories? What are the social and psychological implications of human-AI sexual relations?

A Twin Flame Runner's Return to The Chaser by SILVIA MOON Pdf

Before I begin this simple book, I would like to ask every Twin Flame runner reading it to take a deep breath. Relax — this book is here to help you figure out how to make your way back to your divine partner.I understand how confusing it is when you are trying to make sense of this Twin Flame journey. I know how stressful it gets when you do not know how to stop the running and chasing cycle. For me, I denied being the runner at first. I thought that I had a choice in the matter. I was scared of labeling myself as the runner because of the negativity that most Twin Flames associate with it. I labeled myself as the chaser. The Twin Flame journey is divinely guided. You learn that it does not matter if you label yourself as the chaser or the runner. You go through a series of changes that transform you from the inside to the outside. Not so much information is shared about the runner Twin Flame; the runner experiences are very challenging and complicated to put into perspective if you are running. With the mere fact that you feel an inner resistance to feeling the love connection, you try to deny the nature of your experiences. Before you accept your Twin Flame experiences as a runner, you try to disguise how you feel in many exotic ways. You believe that you are smarter — you think that you can get away with escaping the love connection by blocking your partner. When I ran from my Twin Flame, I did very many embarrassing things to forget him. I wanted to stop feeling the connection. I masked the pain of missing him by trying to surround myself with as many people as I could. I still felt lonely. I felt a void within me. The more I tried to hide from my Twin Flame behind other people and meaningless relationships, the more I was reminded of him. I could not stop thinking of him. I used to tell myself that at some point the connection would fade. I found comfort in the thought that his absence would make me forget him. There were days when I blocked thoughts of him. I would consciously divert my thoughts away from him. It did not last long — I would switch back to thinking of him without realizing it. Apart from feeling connected to my Twin Flame to infinity, I dream of him in some form. Even though a dream is unrelated to him, I feel his energy with me while I sleep. A part of him is in me as much a part of me is with him. In this book, I would like to share with you my honest perspective of being the runner in Twin Flame relationships. Even though you are the Chaser, when you have an honest perspective of the runner after reading this book, you will grow more empathy for your divine lover. You seek forgiveness — you focus on helping each other heal instead of having judgment and criticism. When love is real, your hearts are always summoning each other for a reunion. You feel the magnetism. You feel the oneness. You know deep within you that you are loved by someone out there. Your heart is always signaling you through palpitations — you are always in each other’s minds. Instead of running from unconditional love, I would like to use this simple book to guide you back home — to your Twin Flame. I would like to help you confront your fears; to accept the overwhelming uncomfortable feelings. I also share tips on how I learned to embrace vulnerable feelings. I felt exposed to my Twin Flame and disarmed. Your life will never be the same again. Enjoy this simple book.

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall Pdf

A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.

The Runner by David Samuels Pdf

The Runner tells the remarkable true story of a teenage drifter and petty thief named James Hogue who woke up one cold winter morning in a storage shed in Utah and decided to start his life anew. Re-imagining himself as a self-educated ranch hand named Alexi Indris-Santana who read Plato under the stars and could run a mile in under four minutes, Hogue applied and was accepted to Princeton University, where he excelled academically, made the track team, and became a member of the elite Ivy Club. Echoing both The Great Gatsby and The Talented Mr. Ripley, the story of Hogue’s life before and after he went to Princeton is both an immensely affecting portrait of a dreamer and a striking indictment of the Ivy League “meritocracy” to which Hogue wanted so badly to belong. Drawing elegant parallels between Hogue’s ambitions and the American myth of self-invention, while also examining his own uneasy identification with his troubled subject, David Samuels has fashioned a powerful metaphor for the corruptions of the American dream, revealing exceptional gifts as a reporter and literary stylist.

Blade Runner 2049 by Timothy Shanahan,Paul Smart Pdf

Widely acclaimed upon its release as a future classic, Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 is visually stunning, philosophically profound, and a provocative extension of the story in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. Containing specially commissioned chapters by a roster of international contributors, this fascinating collection explores philosophical questions that abound in Blade Runner 2049, including: What distinguishes the authentically "human" person? How might natality condition one’s experience of being-in-the-world? How might shared memories feature in the constitution of personal identities? What happens when created beings transcend the limits intended in their design? What (if anything) is it like to be a hologram? Can artificial beings participate in genuinely romantic relationships? How might developing artificial economics impact our behaviour as prosumers? What are the implications of techno-human enhancement in an era of surveillance capitalism? Including a foreword by Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049: A Philosophical Exploration is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, film studies, philosophy of mind, psychology, gender studies, and conceptual issues in cognitive science and artificial intelligence.

Lacanian Perspectives on Blade Runner 2049 by Calum Neill Pdf

This book provides a collection of Lacanian responses to Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 from leading theorists in the field. Like Ridley Scott’s original Blade Runner film, its sequel is now poised to provoke philosophical and psychoanalytic arguments, and to provide illustrations and inspiration for questions of being and the self, for belief and knowledge, the human and the post-human, amongst others. This volume forms the vanguard of responses from a Lacanian perspective, satisfying the hunger to extend the theoretical considerations of the first film in the various new directions the second film invites. Here, the contributors revisit the implications of the human-replicant relationship but move beyond this to consider issues of ideology, politics, and spectatorship. This exciting collection will appeal to an educated film going public, in addition to students and scholars of Lacanian psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic theory, cultural studies, film theory, philosophy and applied psychoanalysis.

Knowledge in a Social World by Alvin I. Goldman Pdf

Knowledge in a Social World offers a philosophy for the information age. Alvin Goldman explores new frontiers by creating a thoroughgoing social epistemology, moving beyond the traditional focus on solitary knowers. Social, cultural, and technological changes present new challenges to our ways of knowing and understanding, and philosophy must face these challenges. Against the tides of postmodernism and social constructionism Goldman defends the integrity of truth and shows how to promote it by well-designed forms of social interaction. He urges that social discourse promises more than the mere politics of consensus, and that suitably norm-governed debate and belief-revision can increase veridical knowledge. Goldman's aims are not just philosophical but practical. From science to education, from law to democracy, he shows why and how public institutions should seek knowledge-enhancing practices. He examines how cyberspace and other technologies expand the scope of communication, and warns of the need to safeguard content quality. He scrutinizes the free marketplace of ideas, the adversary system in the law, and media coverage of political campaigns. The result is a bold, timely, and systematic treatment of the philosophical foundations of an information society.
