  • The God Test From Robert Wright AI's Coming Cosmic Reckoning
    Jul 1 2026
    From bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Robert Wright comes THE GOD TEST: Artificial Intelligence and Our Coming Cosmic Reckoning (June 23rd, 2026/$30.00 hardcover), a sweeping new view of AI as an evolutionary force that will pose deep political, moral, and even spiritual challenges and could, in the process, give our species a unifying sense of purpose.THE GOD TEST is the first book to capture the power behind the AI revolution-to clearly explain the breakthroughs that sparked the current wave of advance and compellingly show why this wave will grow in magnitude and meaning. Written by one of our foremost public intellectuals and informed by his decades of chronicling the digital age, the book argues that we are about to witness the most radical transformation of politics and psychology in the history of our species.To realize this revolution's promise and avoid its potentially catastrophic perils, we'll have to navigate it as a cohesive global community. Pulling this off will require radically innovative governance and progress along another dimension as well: Humankind will have to get better at transcending the cognitive biases that constitute the "psychology of tribalism." We'll have to take a big step toward true enlightenment.Wright says that to truly understand this moment in technological history, we need to expand our perspective beyond the last century or even the whole history of technology and look back across billions of years of life on Earth. The advance of AI, he argues, is driven by evolutionary dynamics like those that led to intelligent life in the first place. And understanding those dynamics can empower us to confront our climactic challenge: Can we muster the intellectual and moral resources needed to guide this technology wisely?If we fail, the consequences for the whole planet could be grave. But if we meet the challenge-if we pass "the God test"-we can live in a world where humanity thrives, finding not just happiness but deeper meaning and purpose. The very machines that might otherwise imperil or oppress us can enrich us, helping us transcend the psychological impediments to human concord and fulfillment.

  • The Daily Mess Are There People More Famous Than Hollywood Plus Loving Our Pets
    Jul 16 2026
    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Are there people in the world more famous than Hollywood actors and American Rock stars? Plus…Do we tell our pets we love them more then what our parents shared with us? I’m Arroe… I am a daily writer. A silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate. I call it The Daily Mess. A chronological walk through an everyday world. Yes, it’s my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later. When a subject arrives, I dig in. It’s still keeping a journal! By doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This is the Daily Mess…

    I’m always asking questions. The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as… Where are the modern day rebels? Not necessarily the rule breakers, those who take amazing chances and don’t stop at failure. Where are they? Plus…are plant based hotdogs like all other hotdogs and they’re bad for you?

  • What I Wish I Knew About Luck From Dr Tina Seelig
    Jul 9 2026
    In “WHAT I WISH I KNEW ABOUT LUCK: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements” (HarperOne) - STANFORD UNIVERSITY professor and bestselling author: TINA SEELIG - dispels the myth - noting that what we call luck is really the deliberate actions of hard work. From being born into the “right” family to someone helping you with a flat tire – Dr. Seelig tells us that what most consider lucky is really fortune. Meantime, luck, has to do with the choices you make and the risks you take as opportunities arise. With accessible tips and bite-sized lessons, Seelig breaks down the necessary components you need to create your own lucky opportunities. As she shared in her popular TED Talk - luck is like the wind, constantly blowing, often unpredictable, and always in motion. And to catch the winds of luck, you need to construct your sail by doing the internal work that sets the stage for success; recruit your crew by bringing others along; and hoist your sail by acting in ways that lead you closer to your goals. With these practical tools in hand, the winds of luck carry you toward the future you dream to live.The book is filled with memorable examples, personal anecdotes, and behavioral science research.
