Nonfiction MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas para In Tyson s ideal world all of humanity would be versed in statistics to separate feelings from knowledge An example Tyson provides is a chance encounter with a long lost friend in a far off place Often we would think it was preordained possibly declaring There are no coincidences But it IS a coincidence In another example Tyson observes that people often wear lucky socks or underwear on important days However they only became lucky because a person happened to be wearing them when something good occurred Tyson asserts that the urge to think like this is used for economic gain by casinos and other gambling venues He writes Imagine how different the world would be if thinking mathematically about human affairs was normal and natural Statistically gambling is a losing proposition but people keep doing itAnother example of human bias not verified by science is the tendency to look down on others Tyson observes Some people feel better when they believe other people are less than they are in any way they value which could include wealth intelligence talent beauty or education Add strength speed grace agility and endurance and you ve compiled most of the ways people persistently compare themselves to others Tyson notes that the Olympics owe their existence to the search for people who perform faster higher and stronger among us. EPub MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas but to an entire demographic This can lead to war genocide and other atrocities Tyson notes that fields of study like mathematics and physical sciences resist human bias so are less susceptible to feelings of superiority Tyson admits the researchers themselves can be racist sexist misanthropes However the scientists prejudices won t be in textbooks because published results MUST be reproducible to be considered valid Tyson gives numerous examples of the ways science can reduce misunderstandings and increase cooperation among people However the author also strays far from this topic expounding on other subjects that pop into his mind such as personal vanity cosmetics and such liberal TV shows and movies sponsored by Fox broadcasting which is much extensive than just Fox News vegetarians and vegans slavery racism confederate statues tweets he shouldn t have sent LGBTQ issues what aliens visiting Earth would think of us law and justice and For instance in an example of the evolution of criminal trials Tyson observes that some historic cultures let God decide guilt or innocence So the accused might be pushed underwater forced to walk through fire have boiling oil poured on their chest or made to drink poison Those who survived must be innocent because God protected them This type of thing eventually evolved to trial by crowd trial by random individuals then trial by a jury of your peers Tyson points out that even this last method is far from foolproof because eyewitnesses are unreliable and worse yet attorneys are trained to make their case regardless of the truth The book is interesting but I expected it to be about science and less about random subjects Still Tyson is a smart well read amusing guy and he provides tidbits you could use to sound smart at parties and gatherings You can follow my reviews at MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS Fabulous Enjoyed this much 10 of 10 STARS MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS 4. Astrophysics MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas 0 starsThis was such a wonderful book to read in 2022 a time where society feels incredibly divided Within this book the author often plays devils advocate on polarizing ideas and shows both sides of an argument Topics include race gender identity vegetarianism gambling abortion and life afte death Some of these topics are incredibly polarizing yet the author addresses each of these topics lightly with kind rational discussions. Book MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas alem I would highly recommended it to individuals looking for a book that blends together emotional and rational ideas into an optimistic narrative I found this book very comforting MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS Disappointing. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS science news There is such potential in the realm of science for the gift of humility and there are times Tyson can wield it But his disdain for any worldviews other than that of the enlightenment and apparent ignorance of any critiques of the enlightenment from the past three centuries. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS booklet Book has some dramatic insights but mostly pedestrian observations His forays into political science do not make it past middle school level lessons He has a strange vendetta against the varied rationale of vegetarian vegan lifestyles This leads to some tortured logic of his own and pretty poor analogies in efforts to skewer these folks. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS kindle reader I ve read and liked Tyson before but here all his forgivable faults are well on display MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS As I was reading this I didn t expect to learn anything new but that wasn t really the point Even the title hints at its true purpose to inspire awe. Book MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas alem To be very sure it s awe in the pure reality sense the scientific sense and a measured analysis of who we are what we might be capable of and how we fit in the rest of the universe. EPub MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas alem I quickly came to the conclusion that this nonfiction is in fact a prose poem It s quite short it s tiny data points all trying to express the magic and it lightly flits over so many areas in a charming way. Astrophysics MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas png Who is this written for People who haven t lost their sense of wonder or people who might be a bit too disgusted with humanity but haven t quite given up on the whole rotting carcass just yet. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS kindle reader In short if you need a reason to remember that science is real that all is not lost that those who would drag everything down to the lowest level have not won yet then this might be the book you need MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS 
I was very pleased to win an advance copy of this book from the Goodreads giveaway program I was a little afraid that some of the science or math portions would be hard to follow but found that my fears were groundless it s written in a very clear and straightforward easy to follow manner I used to love reading Asimov s books of science essays and I was a big fan of Cosmos In fact it s much of a philosophical work than a science book a guide on how to approach questions or situations from a scientific and factual viewpoint rather than relying on often incorrect common knowledge and preconceived notions It s subtitled Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization and Tyson illustrates points about government politics race gender culture and all manner of other weighty ideas and subjects with remarkable insight clarity and refreshing humor I found myself trying to apply some of his examples of factual thinking as I read and began to look at his topics from a different perspective for example on page 19 he states that when a comet hit Jupiter in July of 1994 nothing died but it would have been an extinction level catastrophe on Earth It struck me that he really didn t have any way of knowing for sure whether anything had been killed on Jupiter or not He addresses subjects without bias and presents facts as an illustration of how the scientific method can help make better decisions It reminded me of my favorite quote from Harlan Ellison You are not entitled to your opinion You are entitled to your informed opinion No one is entitled to be ignorant Another random observation that he made that impressed me was on page 176 and he is recounting his experience of being in a pool for jury selection The defendant is charged with the possession of 1700 milligrams of cocaine and he points out that the charge is phrased that way rather than as the accurate 1. EPub MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas 7 grams simply to make it sound like a larger quantity and a heinous offense There were many such points he makes in the book that gave me a different way of looking at a situation It s a very intelligent and thought provoking book full of historical and scientific facts presented in sometimes alternate ways I recommend it highly MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS Usually I reserve the whole month of October for horror thrilller crime books only but I ve been sitting on this one for a few weeks and I just couldn t wait any longer I was too excited This is the third book that I read by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and it was an insightful masterfully written and captivating one He provides the reader with a brilliant Cosmic Perspective on Civilization and I wish people would read it as it delivers facts numbers and provocative thoughts on many important topics but all sprinkled with bits of humor MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS Do whatever it takes to avoid fooling yourself into believing that something is true when it is false or that something is false when it is true. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS science news You know those books you try to read as slowly as possible because you don t want them to ever end This book was one of those for me I started it and then started and read two others while reading it in order to make it last longer My brain needed the rational thoughts of Neil deGrasse Tyson and his many thought experiments especially at the moment It was the best book I could have been reading the last two weeks The book is Mr Tyson s thoughts on a variety of topics mainly how we humans categorize others often to justify hating them. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS book He included myriad thought experiments to show the absurdity in stereotyping people according to skin color sexuality political leanings etc and how lazy it is to simply plop a label on someone we don t even know and decide we know everything about them. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS nonfiction books My brain thrills at thought experiments I could read them all day It is so exciting to see things in a new way to flip around the way one thinks about something to rationalize instead of accepting things emotionally. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS kindle direct And then there were lots of cool scientific facts in this book too More dopamine for my brain Here are a few The Moon is spiraling away from Earth at a rate of about 1.

Book MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas alem 5 percent of our body weight yet for some ant species their brains are closer to 15 percent of their body weight There is a chapter on vegans vegetarians which I loved and realize much of it was tongue in cheek However I want to point out though that some of us vegans do worry about the plant life we kill and consume wondering if one day we will learn that plants have consciousness and the ability to feel pain That worries me a lot perhaps than it should I figure though that we know for sure other mammals and fish experience pain and are conscious and we don t yet know that about plants therefore it s better to go with the latter Also if you eat meat you re killing both the animal and the plants it eats so it s less suffering caused by only eating plants Whether or not it still makes me a hypocrite I m not sure That said I do not demonize those of you who eat meat because I recognize that it s the circle of life and I do not believe in imposing my morals and beliefs on others Whether or not to eat meat and dairy is not for me to decide for anyone but myself If you enjoy learning scientific facts and thinking rationally and challenging your beliefs this is the book for you It s not very long though even if it was it still wouldn t have been long enough for me. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS booking Oh and I would love to be a citizen of Rationalia MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS There s something about Neil de Grasse Tyson s voice and narrative style that s captivating for me I can listen to his soothing yet engaging delivery for hours at at time yes he s narrating his own book which is perfect as far as I m concerned feeling that warm feeling of belief in humanity fill my shriveled husk of a soul He s so level headed and rational and calmly excited about science and the wonders of the world that I can t help but be sucked into the magic of his narrative. Book MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas alem This is not a science book like the others by Dr Tyson I ve read This is the collection of his opinions and musings borne from life experiences from desire to see scientific objectivity supersede a lot of irrational stupidity we use in our life choices and annoyance at the us them lines people are so quick to create Since with the way we are the hypothetical space aliens that visit us just may scoff at these weird mammals on this space dirt balls maybe preferring to strike a conversation with an ant colony instead Personal truths have the power to command your mind body and soul but are not evidence based Personal truths are what you re sure is true even if you can t especially if you can t prove it Some of these ideas derive from what you want to be true Others take shape from charismatic leaders or sacred doctrines either ancient or contemporary For some especially in monotheistic traditions God and Truth are synonymous Personal truths are what you may hold dear but have no real way of convincing others who disagree except by heated argument coercion or force These are the foundations of most people s opinions and are normally harmless when kept to yourself or argued over a beer No this certainly is not his typical science book about astrophysics but rather his reflections on humanity The pace of scientific developments with all the biases of each era clouding judgments on what was to come The polarization of society and the need for rational thinking about issues rather than blindly following the politics of your chosen political affiliation and stereotypes for those your party seems as enemy The need for reason and rationality and statistics The danger of personal truths although attractive and appealing replacing objective truths even if our mammalian brains seem to prefer the easiness of polarization into us and them Differences in opinion enrich the diversity of a nation and ought to be cherished and respected in any free society provided everyone remains free to disagree with one another and most importantly everyone remains open to rational arguments that could change your mind Sadly the conduct of many in social media has devolved to the opposite of this Their recipe find an opinion they disagree with and unleash waves of anger and outrage because your views do not agree with theirs Social political or legislative attempts to require that everybody agree with your personal truths are ultimately dictatorships And just for fun because he s accumulated enough gravitas that he can Dr Tyson with his approach to find common grounds and reason and to build bridges may just have pissed off every group we can think of The left The right The anti vaxxers The gamblers The vegetarians and vegans The anti abortion groups The racists The believers in strict gender binary The Twitter warriors The fundamentalists The warmongers and I m probably missing a few but oh well Far beyond wine truths and close cousins of personal truths are political truths These thoughts and ideas already resonate with your feelings but become unassailable truths from incessant repetition by forces of media that would have you believe them a fundamental feature of propaganda Such belief systems almost always insinuate or explicitly declare that who you are or what you do or how you do it is superior to those you want to subjugate or conquer It s no secret that people will give their lives or take the lives of others in support of what they believe Often the less actual evidence that exists in support of an ideology the likely a person is willing to die for the cause I really enjoyed it Dr Tyson seems like an interesting guy to hang out with and talk about all sorts of things 4. Astrophysics MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas png I d delighted to report that Starry Messenger accomplishes exactly what I set out to do offer persistent and diverse ways for the reader to see the world differently to see the world as a scientist does especially one who carries a cosmic perspective. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS science news There are doses of humor and pop culture added only where they could also advance the ideas of a chapter And I m proud to say that the book is relatively short making a fast read. MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS booklet The page count in the publisher s listings is 260 But when you subtract the index and the end notes which are extensive it s a 204 page book in a smaller binding format similar to that of Astrophysics for People In A Hurry. EBook MENSAGEIRO DAS estrelas alem So I m proud of this addition to the portfolio And I thank those of you in the Goodreads Universe who expressed early interesting in this work Neil deGrasse Tyson MENSAGEIRO DAS ESTRELAS
