  TL;DR “real” is relatively real :)

  Awesome collection of real life (!) stories, anecdotes, philosophical and logical paradoxes about a theme old as the world — what is truth?

  Main focus of the book is communication and interpretation. This is all we basically have to construct our “reality”.

  Book includes stories about:

  1. “be spontaneous!” type of paradoxes
  

  • The case of clever Hans story and others about subtle power of communication / https://www.seeker.com/the-curious-case-of-clever-hans-1765582634.html
  • what is real randomness as opposed to pseudo randomness?
  • The windshield mystery story (about focus of mass attention)
  • The Orleans rumor (how masses can be fooled) https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/edgar-morin/the-rumor-in-orleans/
  • The prisoner's dilemma (about “how what i think you think that i think influences my decisions”)
  • How power of threats depends on information and interpretation, not the actual threat features
  • Operation Mincemeat and other exciting spy games stories / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OperationMincemeat
  • Operation Neptune and how espionage works / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OperationNeptune(espionage)
  • Communication with chimps, dolphins, extraterrestrial life
  • Time travel paradoxes
  • Newcomb's paradox (causality vs time-correlation, determenism vs free will and what the fuck is free will anyway?) / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomb%27s_paradox
  • “Now” vs time
  • Flatland people (analogy of time as just a dimension we can't fully comprehend)
