Deep Learning in a Disorienting World

Deep Learning in a Disorienting World

Jon F. Wergin

sidottu
Much has been written about the escalating intolerance of worldviews other than one's own. Reasoned arguments based on facts and data seem to have little impact in our increasingly post-truth culture dominated by social media, fake news, tribalism, and identity politics. Recent advances in the study of human cognition, however, offer insights on how to counter these troubling social trends. In this book, psychologist Jon F. Wergin calls upon recent research in learning theory, social psychology, politics, and the arts to show how a deep learning mindset can be developed in both oneself and others. Deep learning is an acceptance that our understanding of the world around us is only temporary and is subject to constant scrutiny. Someone who is committed to learning deeply does not simply react to experiences, but engages fully with that experience, knowing that the inevitable disquietude is what leads to efficacy in the world.

The Heaven of Hell (second edition, expanded and revised)
"All of life is struggle, of course, and Jon's deftly rendered mutants are struggling up one heck of a storm. Struggling with each other, struggling with nature, struggling to get out of their own fucking skin. It leaves a hell of a mess, with all of your favorite bodily fluids competing as signifiers." - David E. Williams, www.davidewilliams.com "Black and white drawings as potent, grotesque, and unyielding as the likes of S.Clay Wilson, or Mike Diana. Jon F.Allen dredges up demons, horrors, sex, murder, anxieties, and gallows humor born in the unseemly trenches of Catholicism, addiction, and observations of the decrepit, violent, bleak world around him"- Festus E.

Cohomology Rings of Finite Groups

Cohomology Rings of Finite Groups

Group cohomology has a rich history that goes back a century or more. Its origins are rooted in investigations of group theory and num­ ber theory, and it grew into an integral component of algebraic topology. In the last thirty years, group cohomology has developed a powerful con­ nection with finite group representations. Unlike the early applications which were primarily concerned with cohomology in low degrees, the in­ teractions with representation theory involve cohomology rings and the geometry of spectra over these rings. It is this connection to represen­ tation theory that we take as our primary motivation for this book. The book consists of two separate pieces. Chronologically, the first part was the computer calculations of the mod-2 cohomology rings of the groups whose orders divide 64. The ideas and the programs for the calculations were developed over the last 10 years. Several new features were added over the course of that time. We had originally planned to include only a brief introduction to the calculations. However, we were persuaded to produce a more substantial text that would include in greater detail the concepts that are the subject of the calculations and are the source of some of the motivating conjectures for the com­ putations. We have gathered together many of the results and ideas that are the focus of the calculations from throughout the mathematical literature.

This book is a collection of four short stories, set in a researched historical setting, or historical fiction. However that history has, perhaps, a non-traditional focus. The stories reside in the path of America's color-line as it sways, pitches and rolls, drunkenly through the American past. The characters are not circumspect about their color, nor do they transcend it, entirely. While the stories focus on one family's journey through time, their story also implies alternative perceptions of America than the current histories. It is the author's hope that you will enjoy the stories in the own light, but dare to look beyond them at the vision of the future from a redemptive past.
