Review: Free Will, Do You Have It? by Albertus Kral

Free Will, Do You Have It? by Albertus Kral

A brain-bending dive into the philosophy of personal choice and autonomy, Free Will, Do You Have It? by Albertus Kral is a fascinating presentation of the author’s personal theory of Procirclism.

The idea, in short, is that cyclical behavioral processes are developed and strengthened in every individual, based on the specific stimuli they experience. Each stimulus acts as a tiny variable in a process that is perpetually developing in our mind based on memories and prior reactions/behaviors. Essentially, Kral is attempting to explain why humans behave in particular ways, and what factors lead to a person’s ultimate decisions, which he […]

Founded on the idea that having a greater amount of wealth increases the likelihood of being able to […]

Review: The Purple World by Joseph Q. Jarvis MD, MSPH

The Purple World by Joseph Q. Jarvis, MD, MSPH

The healthcare system in the United States has been in a state of change and narrowly averted collapse for some years now, and The Purple World: Healing the Harm in American Health Care by Joseph Q. Jarvis MD, MSPH provides both a professional and personal perspective on this critical issue.

Attempting to parse the ever-changing landscape of American healthcare is challenging, and forming a clear, comprehensive picture of the options, loopholes, tax ramifications and benefits is nearly impossible. Jarvis begins by establishing the crisis facing America, making his political stance known in the opening of this book, but fortunately, this […]
