The Paradox of Intelligence and Information
This chapter examines the contradiction of human intelligence, revealing how despite our cognitive abilities, we frequently make choices that harm ourselves.

The discussion also explores the role of narratives over factual truth in shaping societal power structures and the impact of information technology on governance.
