Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception By : Timothy R. Levine READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : A scrupulous account that overturns many commonplace notions about how we can best detect lies and falsehoods From the advent of fake news to climate-science denial and Bernie Madoff?s appeal to investors, people can be astonishingly gullible. Some people appear authentic and sincere even when the facts discredit them, and many people fall victim to conspiracy theories and economic scams that should be dismissed as obviously ludicrous. This happens because of a near-universal human tendency to operate within a mindset that can be characterized as a ?truth-default.? We uncritically accept most of the messages we receive as ?honest.? We all are perceptually blind to deception. We are hardwired to be duped.

Language as Hermeneutic: A Primer on the Word and Digitization By : Walter J. Ong READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : Language in all its modes--oral, written, print, electronic--claims the central role in Walter J. Ong's acclaimed speculations on human culture. After his death, his archives were found to contain unpublished drafts of a final book manuscript that Ong envisioned as a distillation of his life's work. This first publication of Language as Hermeneutic, reconstructed from Ong's various drafts by Thomas D. Zlatic and Sara van den Berg, is more than a summation of his thinking. It develops new arguments around issues of cognition, interpretation, and language. Digitization, he writes, is inherent in all forms of writing, from its early beginnings in clay tablets. As digitization increases in print and now electronic culture, there is a corresponding need to counter the fractioning of digitization with the unitive attempts of hermeneutics, particula...
