Inhaltsangabe

We Homo sapiens are the first and, for the moment, still the only species that has the capacity for rational thought. Clearly, rational thinking has helped us tremendously in many ways, but equally clearly, we have flopped badly in other crucial areas. We have been hanging around so far for 200,000 years. It is high time for us to "pull up our socks" and use our brains to clean up our act for whatever time we have remaining.

Everything explores fundamental principles and truths which are universal and apply to virtually everything. It deals primarily with the "universe" of all thinking, reasoning individuals, including their interactions, institutions and societies. The most important things that have happened over the past million years are examined and projected into the future. The purpose is to step back, focus on the big picture, and understand how the whole mess functions under the governance of the laws and principles. (339 pages; 422 with appendixes)

Some characterizations of Everything:

• Ruthlessly dispatches BS and confusion about everything.
• Amazing scope and unique perspective: from the beginning of our solar system on into the future.
• The human race from its beginning to its end.
• Many disparate topics; all turn out to be important to human civilization.
• A massively comprehensive work of scholarship.
• Advocates rational thinking and provides useful examples.
• Not just important questions, but also important answers.
• Recipes for a peaceful, prosperous society that maximizes freedom and happiness.
• If you agree, you'll love it; if you don't agree, you need it.
• Don't start a new civilization without a copy of Everything as your instruction manual.
• Strong medicine! You'll be glad you took it.
• The most important things that occurred over the last million years or so.
• If you haven't been doing much thinking lately, Everything is an enjoyable way to reboot and get up to speed quickly.
• Solutions for important problems.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Roy Minet majored in physics in college, but accepted a first job offer in engineering with a large multi-national corporation. Following that were positions in sales, then marketing management and finally management of a strategic business planning group, all for the same corporation. Moving into small business, he bought and operated a beer distributorship for 12 years before selling it. While distributing (and perhaps drinking) beer, he founded Intelligent Computer Systems, Inc., which pioneered comprehensive, integrated, real-time business software and installed turnkey computer systems for distribution businesses nationwide. After 22 years, ICS was sold to the 3M Corporation. Mr. Minet is now retired and pursuing a backlog of personal projects; most notably, improving all aspects of elections. He also has taught economics part time in 11th and 12th grades with the Junior Achievement program. Approximately 40 of his op-ed columns have been published. Mr. Minet was the Libertarian Party's candidate for Pennsylvania Auditor General in 2016.
