This is the birth of investigative journalism. It made a difference.

A large group of people enters the Rutledge Historical Society to see the new and much anticipated 1950s murder exhibit. After viewing the display, the group exits the building leaving two people behind. A few minutes later, one of the two is shot dead in front of the exhibit and the other one rushes out the back door and escapes.

These chronicles mix physics, medicine, hypnotherapy, technology, culture, learning, politics, and the news surrounding the coronavirus from March through June of 2020. This is the first phase of the pandemic, before the expected second infection, and before any vaccine. This mixing of perspectives is unusual. Few authors have the background to support it. Fewer recognize that integrating many perspectives is necessary to understand what has and is continuing to happen. The virus is not one thing having many impacts; it is many things happening with the virus at the center.

In his second book in a philosophically guided series, Ray W. Lincoln guides the listener through their first and most important task in a world-changing mission: namely, to learn how to think straight (and teach straight thinking) and combat the insurgence of crooked thinking in our culture and in our world today.

Sulla battigia di Sanibel Island, placida località balneare al largo della costa sudovest della Florida, la mareggiata ha sospinto un insolito tipo di spazzatura: decine di scarpe, restituite dalle onde alla terra, appesantite da un macabro dettaglio che lascia intravedere un gioco incomprensibile, violento, perverso. Né l'FBI, né la Guardia costiera, né le autorità locali sembrano in grado di stabilire a chi appartengano o da dove provengano. Una domanda, in particolare, esige una risposta urgente: le vittime di quel gioco malato sono ancora vive?

These two volumes enumerate 328 lessons extracted from The Learning Project. I added topics of my own—such as the benefits of bad teachers—and others recognized as important, such as the decision biases enumerated by the economists Tversky and Kahneman. Various authors present guidance for thinking. Most have a prejudice that espouses logic, reason, intuition, emotion, reward, or practicality. My goal is more general. It is to examine the interaction between the environment and our minds that affects how we learn.
