Deepak Chopra recommended The Perennial Philosophy in Books (curated)

 
The Perennial Philosophy
The Perennial Philosophy
Aldous Huxley | 2009 | Philosophy, Psychology & Social Sciences, Religion

"The dystopian side of Huxley produced Brave New World, which foretold the myriad bleak worlds to come. The Perennial Philosophy is the mirror opposite, or perhaps the cure. In describing the common features of world spirituality, it outlines with clarity the transcendent strain in what humans aspire to become. Without a transcendent vision, I can’t imagine anyone’s life having deeply rooted purpose and meaning."

A Look at the Possibilities of AI
Contains spoilers, click to show
This movie is a fantastic look at the possibilities of artificial intelligence. While Ava is questionable about the full extent of her intelligence as she was merely programmed to make Caleb fall in love with her. I'm not sure that there is any difference between her and another person. She wanted freedom and while she did everything she could to gain that freedom. Her final decision to leave Caleb is the ultimate test of her intelligence. While she certainly used him to gain freedom that showed her intelligence. However, it also showed her lack of humanity. This does show that she has true artificial intelligence she has no humanity which means that she is not the same as a human and never will be. She failed Nathan's true purpose for her though succeeding in her own purpose.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Nov 27, 2017
Music was full of fury, confusion and resistance in our first post-election year. Albums came with titles like American Dream (LCD Soundsystem), American Teen (Khalid) and All American Made (Margo Price).

But music in 2017 was also about a more slippery sense of self, as genre lines fall away and artists searched for identity and purpose in weird times.



So here's the best of a tumultuous year:

Grumpy Cat's All About Miserable Me:A Doodle Journal for Everything Awful by Jimi Bonogofsky-Gronseth is a fun little book. It is a book where people get to engage by making their own doodles to the story. This book is very interactive.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Dover Publications via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
