What is morality? Where does it come from? And why do most of us heed its call most of the time? In Braintrust, neurophilosophy pioneer Patricia Churchland argues that morality originates in the biology of the brain. She describes the "neurobiological platform of bonding" that, modified by evolutionary pressures and cultural values, has led to human styles of moral behavior. The result is a provocative genealogy of morals that asks us to reevaluate the priority given to religion, absolute rules, and pure reason in accounting for the basis of morality.

Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know.

In the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages.

‘The Spirit of Politics’ is my 20th philosophy book. It defines the spiritual war in the Millennium shown in the politics and philosophy of the grandmasters of social and political engineering through their New World Order. But this overt politics is backed by covert spirits who dictate the order of the World through the collective consciousness and the energy and information in the spiritual realms that lay the principles of the spiritual war into the minds and souls of the people in these End Times. The levels of the spirits of politics range from the returning politics and philosophy...

‘The Power of Theology’ continues the philosophy of theology and the theory of creationism by the Gods. This shows the powers of good and evil Gods and their states of creationism based on the mathematical and scientific approaches of philosophy. There are considerations of politics and psychologies that are derived from the creationism that are derived from the moralities of the Gods.
