Observations of a Straight White Male with No Interesting Fetishes

Observations of a Straight White Male with No Interesting Fetishes
Peter Hunt Welch, "Observations of a Straight White Male with No Interesting Fetishes"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0985318147 | 264 pages | MOBI | 0.4 MB
Ever wondered how to justify your own righteousness even while you're constantly embarrassed by it? Or how to make a case for your own existence when you contribute nothing besides nominal labor to a faceless corporation that's probably exploiting children? Are you clinging desperately to an arbitrary social model imposed by your parents and childhood friends? Or screaming in terror, your mind unhinged at the prospect of an uncaring void racing to consume the very possibility of your life having meaning? So are most people! SEE how to fail to impress a date who wasn't even waiting to be impressed. LEARN how to navigate the fetish scene when it's obvious to everyone you don't belong in it. CRINGE at the narcissism of privilege. BLINK at the justifications of listless ego making excuses for itself. A tell-all, guide-by-terrible-example manual for navigating modern relationships, from the perspective of a brain just as consumed by neurosis and paranoia as everyone else's!

Object-Oriented Programming with Prototypes

Object-Oriented Programming with Prototypes
Object-Oriented Programming: with Prototypes by Günther Blaschek
English | PDF | 1994 | 341 Pages | ISBN : 3642780792 | 28.5 MB
Object-oriented programming is a popular buzzword these days. What is the reason for this popularity? Is object-oriented programming the solution to the software crisis or is it just a fad? Is it a simple evolutionary step or a radical change in software methodology? What is the central idea behind object-orien ted design? Are there special applications for which object-oriented program ming is particularly suited? Which object-oriented language should be used?

Non-Nuclear Peace Beyond the Nuclear Ban Treaty

Non-Nuclear Peace Beyond the Nuclear Ban Treaty
Tom Sauer, Jorg Kustermans, Barbara Segaert, "Non-Nuclear Peace: Beyond the Nuclear Ban Treaty"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030266877 | PDF | pages: 197 | 2.3 mb
This volume examines the possibility of a world without nuclear weapons. It starts from the observation that, although nuclear deterrence has long been dominant in debates about war and peace, recent events show that ridicule and stigmatization of nuclear weapons and their possessors is on the rise. The idea of non-nuclear peace has been around since the beginning of the nuclear revolution, but it may be staging a return. The first part reconstructs the criticism of nuclear peace, both past and present, with a particular emphasis on technology. The second part focuses on the most revolutionary change since the beginning of the nuclear revolution, namely the Humanitarian Initiative and the resulting Nuclear Ban Treaty (2017), which allows imagining non-nuclear peace anew. The third and last part explores the practical and institutional prospects of a peace order without nuclear weapons. If non-nuclear peace advocates want to convince skeptics, they have to come up with practical solutions in the realm of global governance or world government.

Non-Bayesian Decision Theory Beliefs and Desires as Reasons for Action

Non-Bayesian Decision Theory Beliefs and Desires as Reasons for Action
Non-Bayesian Decision Theory: Beliefs and Desires as Reasons for Action by Martin Peterson
English | PDF | 2008 | 175 Pages | ISBN : 1402086989 | 2.3 MB
For quite some time, philosophers, economists, and statisticians have endorsed a view on rational choice known as Bayesianism. The work on this book has grown out of a feeling that the Bayesian view has come to dominate the academic com- nitytosuchanextentthatalternative,non-Bayesianpositionsareseldomextensively researched. Needless to say, I think this is a pity. Non-Bayesian positions deserve to be examined with much greater care, and the present work is an attempt to defend what I believe to be a coherent and reasonably detailed non-Bayesian account of decision theory. The main thesis I defend can be summarised as follows. Rational agents m- imise subjective expected utility, but contrary to what is claimed by Bayesians, ut- ity and subjective probability should not be de?ned in terms of preferences over uncertain prospects.
