Fake News Madness: A SAPIENT Being's Guide to Spotting Fake News Media and How to Help Fight and Eliminate It

Millions of today's youth, college students, and young adults have been brainwashed over the decades by fake news coming from mainstream media (MSM), social media, and leftist academia to the point where they lack the open mindedness, objectivity, and critical thinking skills to recognize it and its harmful effects. Fake News Madness offers an opportunity to be part of the solution to this problem. By spotting fake news media using ethical journalistic standards we can take action to fight and eliminate fake news with practical logic, facts, truth, and sapience-and together counter the biased and unethical journalism, mainstream news, and social media on and off campus. For some of you this MADNESS book will be a revelation, an epiphany, a sapient being moment. For others, it will be a triggering event, denial of truth, and a painful intervention. As the time-tested saying goes, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions-but they're not entitled to their own facts." Facts are facts, the truth is the truth, but they can be skewed and manipulated for disingenuous methods and false narratives. Mainstream news, social media, and academia have perfected and promoted their liberal and leftist agenda without recourse. They are in many ways the media arm of the Democratic Party and many are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Only seven percent of American journalists identify as Republican and the rest claim that despite the fact they're all Democrats, they can be objective. It just ain't so! Psychologists and the Heterodox Academy have shown that when people associate almost exclusively with those who agree with them, they suffer from groupthink, viewpoint orthodoxy, and confirmation bias-and lose their ability to see events clearly and objectively. In 2016 the fake news media narrative was more an unequivocal declaration: Donald Trump must not win. As well all know, he did, and the overwhelming pro-Clinton MSM predicted he would lose. And lose big! How could they get it so wrong? And how could one man be the number one obsession and enemy of fake news? For Free Speech To Be Valuable To The Pursuit Of Truth, We All Need To Be Both Humble And Open. We Need Humility To Recognize That We Might Not Be Right About Everything All Of The Time, And That We Have Something To Learn From Others. We Also Need To Be Open To The Possibility Of Altering Our Views, Opinions, And Even Values Based On Our Engagement With The World. In Other Words, Our Identity As A Person Must Be Kept Separable From The Ideas We Happen To Endorse At A Given Time. Otherwise, When Those Ideas Are Criticized, We Are Likely To Experience A Conversation, Book, Or Lecture As An Attack Upon Our Self, Rather Than As An Opportunity To Think About Something More Deeply. Humility, Openness, Engagement, A Strong And Maturing Self That Is Always A Work In Progress; These Are The Necessary Ingredients For A Free Society, And For Shared Progress, According To John Stuart Mill. Today's Campus Conformists Are In Danger Of Squandering This Legacy. How Can Students Learn, Think, And Grow Without Exposure To Unexpected, Challenging Ideas? How Can Any Campus Fulfill Its Mission Of Preparing Tough-minded And Capable Students If It Instills In Them A Desire To Squelch Opposing Views Rather Than A Willingness To Consider And Confront Them? A 2016 Gallup Survey Found That More Than One In Four College Students Felt Colleges Should Be Able To Restrict Students From Expressing Political Views That Are Upsetting Or Offensive To Certain Groups, While Nearly Half Were Open To Restricting Press Access To Public Events. In Its 2015 Report Of The Committee On Freedom Of Expression, The Chicago Statement Reaffirmed That: Because The University Is Committed To Free And Open Inquiry In All Matters, It Guarantees All Members Of The University Community The Broadest Possible Latitude To Speak, Write, Listen, Challenge, And Learn. Colleges And Universities-and Their Presidents, Boards Of Trustees, Faculties, And Alumni-must Maximize Support For Free Expression, Intellectual Pluralism, And Most Of All Viewpoint Diversity. In The End, Students-and Society-can Only Benefit From Embracing The Free Marketplace Of Ideas.

This book contains the latest information on all aspects of the most important chemical thermodynamic properties of Gibbs energy and Helmholtz energy, as related to fluids. Both the Gibbs energy and Helmholtz energy are very important in the fields of thermodynamics and material properties as many other properties are obtained from the temperature or pressure dependence. Bringing all the information into one authoritative survey, the book is written by acknowledged world experts in their respective fields. Each of the chapters will cover theory, experimental methods and techniques and results for all types of liquids and vapours.

This book is the fourth in the series of Thermodynamic Properties related to liquids, solutions and vapours, edited by Emmerich Wilhelm and Trevor Letcher. The previous books were: Heat Capacities (2010), Volume Properties (2015), and Enthalpy (2017). This book fills the gap in fundamental thermodynamic properties and is the last in the series.
