Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way.

Histoire
This reissue of Thomas Sowell’s classic study of decision making, which includes a preface by the author, updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed. Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making—a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency but our very freedom.

The history of China is as rich and strange as that of any country on earth. Yet for many, China’s history remains unknown, or known only through the stylized images that generations in the West have cherished or reviled as truth. With his command of character and event - the product of 30 years of research and reflection in the field - Spence dispels those myths in a powerful narrative. Over four centuries of Chinese history, Spence fashions the astonishing story of the effort to achieve a modern China.

Histoire
For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why - and how - it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma.

Description
This is an audiobook about truth - and all the ways we try to avoid it - from the best-selling author of Humans: A Brief History of How We F--ked It All Up.
We live in a “post-truth” world, we’re told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing, and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time?
Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world’s oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835, and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin.
Sharp, witty, and with a clear-eyed view of humanity’s checkered past, Truth reveals why people lie - and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.

Overall Eyeopener and Thought Provoking
A very interesting tale about The Truth backed up with many interesting examples. Though I was waiting to hear an explanation of exactly what Truth was it was never given. I guess it is hard to define. Instead The book tried to define it using what it is Not. Using examples of different types of lies and deceptions. I liked the differentiation the author makes between a lier and a bullshiter.
Nevertheless, It is my synthesis and belief that lies help us find truths just as imaginary numbers help mathematicians find solutions to problems. Just never be a complete truster as then no light may reach your core. Thank you!
