  “Thoroughly enjoyable” essays from a cognitive neuroscientist, filled with surprising facts (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Modern computers might be faster, and whales might have larger brains, but neither can match the sheer intellect or capacity for creativity that the human mind enjoys. It is arguably the most complex organ in the universe.   If you’ve ever wondered why your dog can remember where it buried its bone but you can’t find your keys, or whether it’s true that we use only ten percent of our brainpower, this concise book offers some answers—and introduces us to what science has learned about the intricacies of the human brain over the last fifty years. Leading us through behavioral experiments and neuroscience, cognitive theory and Darwinian evolution, Michael Corballis punctures a few hot-air balloons, and explains just what we know—and don’t know—about our own minds.   “Poses questions we wouldn’t have thought to ask and then answers them with clarity and wit.” —American Scientist

  The Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich: A Comedy of Global Madness 
  Tagline: “When the World Economic Forum met Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels at a cocktail party…” 
  Welcome to the 21st century, where the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich have risen from the ashes of history to save us all from—wait for it—ourselves! But don’t be fooled; this isn’t your grandfather’s Reich. No, this is a new and improved, eco-friendly, socially conscious, gender-fluid version, and it’s brought to you by none other than our friends at the World Economic Forum (WEF). 
  You see, in their infinite wisdom, the WEF has concocted a strategy so diabolical, so preposterously brilliant, that it would make even the most ardent Nazi propagandist blush. The plan? To cause a global psychosis that will create a Civil War amongst all nations, races, and people groups, ensuring that no one ever unites against them. And the best part? They’re doing it all in the name of progress! 
  The Woke Apostles: Goebbels’ New Disciples 
  Imagine, if you will, Joseph Goebbels—the master of Nazi propaganda—reincarnated as a non-binary, vegan, climate activist with a degree in Gender Studies and a TikTok following of 10 million. Now, multiply that by a few thousand, give them all blue checkmarks on Twitter, and voila! You’ve got the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich. 
  These modern-day disciples have taken Goebbels’ playbook and updated it for the digital age. Their mission? To divide and conquer, using social justice as their weapon of mass destruction. They’re not just spreading lies; they’re redefining reality. Up is down, freedom is oppression, and biology is a social construct. And if you disagree? Well, then you’re just a bigot—or worse, a capitalist! 
  Why bother with tanks and guns when you can just weaponize anything other than the mainstream media psychosis machine and watch the world burn?
