"The Illusion of Peace in Social Hierarchy" is a thought-provoking book that challenges the widely-held belief that world peace is attainable. The author explores the concept of peace from a variety of perspectives, ranging from intrapersonal to international relations, and examines the flaws in the structures that have been put in place to achieve peace, such as the United Nations and other organizations. The book is divided into three parts. In part one, the author critiques the zeitgeist of peace and highlights the difficulties in achieving it through approaches such as pacifism and democratic peace theory. The flaws of the current system are pointed out, and the author emphasizes the need for a more realistic approach to peace that acknowledges the complexity of human nature. In part two, the author proposes an alternative strategy for maintaining peace through deterrence. Drawing on game theory concepts like the Nash Equilibrium, the author argues that deterrence can be an effective way to maintain peace in international relations. Reciprocal altruism is also discussed as a strategy for maintaining peace in social situations. Finally, in part three, the author introduces Nietzsche's concept of the Übermensch and argues that the journey to becoming an Übermensch begins by realizing that peace is the creation of man and that the concept of world peace is no longer pertinent for promoting peace among individuals and states. The author also emphasizes the importance of rejecting the norms of society and living by one's own moral code. Overall, "The Illusion of Peace in Social Hierarchy" is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that challenges conventional thinking about peace. The author draws on a wide range of sources, from philosophy to game theory, to present a nuanced and complex argument that is sure to stimulate discussion and debate. Anyone interested in the topic of peace and international relations will find this book to be a valuable addition to their reading list.

Tra storia e leggenda, tra una data certa e una presunta, tra un re mai esistito e un semidio sono stati selezionati gli avvenimenti e i personaggi più interessanti ed importanti dell'Antica Roma, e descritti poi in 50 sonetti in dialetto romanesco (messi in ordine cronologico per dare continuità agli eventi) alla fine dei quali sono stati inseriti la parafrasi in lingua italiana, approfondimenti storici ed immagini, anche per far meglio capire al lettore non romano il contenuto delle poesie dialettali. Il libro vuole anche essere destinato alle scuole primarie romane, il primo di un progetto più ampio che sarebbe importante comprendesse l'Italia intera: ogni città con la propria storia scritta nel proprio dialetto! In questo modo i giovani alunni potranno studiare anche attraverso un percorso e un linguaggio alternativo e non convenzionale, ma certo più familiare e accattivante, scoprendo leggende affascinanti, luoghi meravigliosi, personaggi crudeli ed eroi coraggiosi della propria terra: la storia del nostro Paese ci offre spunti infiniti dal Monte Bianco all'Etna, da Masaniello a Enrico Toti, da Garibaldi al Carroccio. Sarebbe fantastico se in ogni biblioteca comunale ci fosse un libro sulla storia della città scritto nel dialetto locale, aiutando così i bambini ad avvicinarsi in modo ancor più positivo e propositivo all'impegno scolastico: un testo didattico scritto in dialetto può essere considerato un ponte tra lo spensierato libro delle fiabe e l'impegnativo sussidiario.

He briefly relates its probable progression from the initial energy and subatomic elements that erupted through that process, to the inception of matter, astral formations and, eventually of life, evolving and culminating in the emergence of its human form among others. In the course of human evolution, he traces the possible and probable sources of myths, faiths, religions and their role in the development of systems of social mores, education and justice as well as of their persisting influence in their implementation. Additionally, he raises awareness of some persistent problems such as those related to the status of women, scapegoating and enforced ignorance. When addressing the subjects of the manufacture of human-like functioning parts and of human-like artificial intelligence he ponders the questions of the nature of life, death, consciousness, conscience, self-determination as well as of the soul. He finally raises the question about the responsibility of humans in the husbandry of the biosphere we call Earth, upon which we live and whose integrity is paramount to the survival of humanity among the other forms of life its sustains. Throughout the text the author emphasizes that its main purpose is that of raising questions to be discussed.
The general format of this book is I'll start with each concept, explaining it in a bunch of sections and graphical examples. I will introduce you to some of the notations and fancy terminologies that data scientists like to use so you can talk the same language, but the concepts themselves are generally pretty simple. After that, I'll throw you into some actual Python code that actually works that we can run and mess around with, and that will show you how to actually apply these ideas to actual data.
The topic of this book is data science, which is a field of study and application that has been growing rapidly for the past several decades. As a growing field, it is gaining a lot of attention in both the media as well as in the job market. This move was modeled after tech companies who, honestly, only recently started hiring massive data teams. These skills are in high demand and their applications extend much further than today's job market. This book will attempt to bridge the gap between math/programming/domain expertises. Most people today have expertise in at least one of these (maybe two), but proper data science requires a little bit of all three. We will dive into topics from all three areas and solve complex problems. We will clean, explore, and analyze data in order to derive scientific and accurate conclusions. Machine learning and deep learning techniques will be applied to solve complex data tasks.
