Beschreibung
Against Ourselves: The Cost of Being Human. Why do intelligent people believe obvious falsehoods. Why do civilizations repeat the same mistakes. Why does progress solve old problems only to create new ones. And why, despite thousands of years of history, do human beings continue struggling against the very minds that built modern civilization. Against Ourselves. is not a self-help book, a political manifesto, or a work of academic philosophy. It is an exploration of the human condition through psychology, evolution, history, neuroscience, culture, and philosophy. Beginning with the architecture of the individual mind and expanding outward through identity, memory, cooperation, civilization, technology, and meaning, M. J. Stokknes asks a deceptively simple question:. What if humanity's greatest obstacle has never been nature-but ourselves. Rather than offering easy answers, this book challenges many of the assumptions we carry about certainty, progress, intelligence, morality, and consciousness itself. For readers who enjoyed:. - Sapiens. by Yuval Noah Harari. - Thinking, Fast and Slow. by Daniel Kahneman. - The Righteous Mind. by Jonathan Haidt. - The Denial of Death. by Ernest Becker. - The Beginning of Infinity. by David Deutsch. Against Ourselves. is an invitation to examine the one instrument through which every human experience is filtered:. the mind. Author website: https: //mariusjohanstokknes. com/.
