Everything

We Homo sapiens are the first and, for the moment, still the only species that has the capacity for rational thought. Clearly, rational thinking has helped us tremendously in many ways, but equally clearly, we have flopped badly in other crucial areas. We have been hanging around so far for 300,000 years. It is high time for us to "e;pull up our socks"e; and use our brains to clean up our act for whatever time we have remaining.Everything explores fundamental principles and truths which are universal and apply to virtually everything.  It deals primarily with the "e;universe"e; of all thinking, reasoning individuals, including their interactions, institutions and societies.  The most important things that have happened over the past million years are examined and projected into the future. The purpose is to pull back, focus on the big picture and understand how the whole mess functions under the governance of the laws and principles.Some characterizations of Everything:Ruthlessly dispatches BS and confusion about everything.Amazing scope and unique perspective: from the beginning of the universe on into the future.Many disparate topics; all turn out to be important to human civilization.Advocates rational thinking and provides useful examples.Not just important questions, but also important answers.Recipes for a peaceful, prosperous society that maximizes freedom and happiness.A massively comprehensive work of scholarship.If you agree, you'll love it; if you don't agree, you need it.Don't start a new civilization without a copy of Everything as your instruction manual.Strong medicine!  You'll be glad you took it.Everything important that occurred over the last million years or so.If you haven't been doing much thinking lately, Everything is an enjoyable way to reboot and get up to speed quickly.The human race from beginning to end.Solutions for important problems.
