The Incompetent Psychic
Memoir of a freelance artist who ignored safety tips from her Spirit Guides. Life on this planet and clues from another dimension examine: art, reincarnation, relationships, childhood trauma, redemption and the love of good dogs. "I wish I could have your life... but only for two weeks," said a friend with a salaried job and a pricier (but less eclectic) wardrobe. Mernie's life was supposed to be more enviable. Spirit Guides on the Celestial Side helped plan it for this planet. A roller coaster track for this incarnation was laid out as a carefully charted course. Then it was suggested the first hairpin turn was too sharp and a bolt might be loose. Ignoring safety advice from sages sure enough, Mernie's little car flew off the track to careen through a very different 'theme park' than expected. Humorous and cautionary tales take you on rides much safer to read than experience. You'll race on sailboats, ski on acid and live with showgirls in Las Vegas. You'll share puff pastries with angels and you might face some fears. Mernie also shows you how to have a career in the creative arts without a real job. Her freelance vocation in both commercial and fine art has spanned forty years.This is a also a story of redemption, so hang in there. (Mernie is rather unlovely in chapters 5-8, but she does eventually get sober.) An artist's 4th Quarter Review looks at stories and paintings to see a bigger picture-inspired by life in this world and glimpses of another. Being only marginally adept with the Cosmic Message function, Mernie keeps trying to hear to the angels... and the dogs. Quality paperback includes 20 black & white illustrations by the author.

Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? : (And How to Fix It)
Look around your office. Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men. In this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people--especially competent women--to advance?Marshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders.In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism.In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job. When competent women--and men who don't fit the stereotype--are unfairly overlooked, we all suffer the consequences.The result is a deeply flawed system that rewards arrogance rather than humility, and loudness rather than wisdom. There is a better way. With clarity and verve, Chamorro-Premuzic shows us what it really takes to lead and how new systems and processes can help us put the right people in charge.

Caring Democracy : Markets, Equality, and Justice
A rethinking of American democracy that puts caring responsibilities at the centerAmericans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives.Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective.What it means to be a citizen is to be someone who takes up the challenge: how should we best allocate care responsibilities in society?Joan Tronto argues that we need to look again at how gender, race, class, and market forces misallocate caring responsibilities and think about freedom and equality from the standpoint of making caring more just.The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family.Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics.Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life.

Why do incompetent people not realize that they are incompetent?
Incompetent people may not realize their incompetence due to a cognitive bias known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. This effect causes individuals with low ability to overestimate their own skill or knowledge, leading them to believe they are more competent than they actually are. Additionally, incompetent individuals may lack the self-awareness or humility to recognize their own limitations. They may also be surrounded by others who enable or reinforce their overconfidence, further perpetuating their lack of awareness of their incompetence.

Are ugly people incompetent?
No, a person's physical appearance does not determine their level of competence. Competence is based on a person's skills, knowledge, and abilities, not their looks. It is important to judge individuals based on their actions and capabilities rather than their appearance. Beauty is subjective and should not be equated with competence.
-
Are many doctors incompetent?
It would be unfair to categorize all doctors as incompetent based on the actions of a few. Like any profession, there may be a small percentage of doctors who are not as skilled or knowledgeable as others. However, the majority of doctors undergo rigorous training and adhere to high standards of care to ensure the well-being of their patients. It is important to address any concerns about a doctor's competence through proper channels and not generalize based on isolated incidents.

Play and Social Justice : Equity, Advocacy, and Opportunity
The importance of play for healthy development is undeniable.Aspects of play have been linked to the development of social skills, health and fitness, motivation, curiosity, innovation, imagination, and problem solving.Both theory and research suggest that play of various types is critical for healthy development and that playfulness is an important quality across the life span.However, opportunities to play and quality of play facilities in schools, after-school programs, childcare centers, community parks, and museums are not equitable by race, socio-economic status, and ability. And racial profiling, immigrant status, illness, and incarceration interfere with child’s play.The first section of the book defines play and social justice and describes disparities in play opportunities in childcare, schools, and communities as well as inequities in how play is interpreted.The next section describes pre-school, elementary, high school, and university programs that use play to liberate, teach, and build community as well as after-school, hospital, and community programs that help to level the playing field of opportunity.The final part of the book discusses ways to ameliorate inequities through research and advocacy.Four research methods are described that are useful for conducting studies on the amount of play children experience, attitudes toward play, and the effect of play on other variables.Finally, a child, a parent, and a teacher describe ways they tried to obtain more recess, using various methods of advocacy.The appendix provides resources indispensable for those convinced that play for all is indeed a social justice issue worthy of advocacy.

G. A. Cohen : Liberty, Justice and Equality
G. A. Cohen was one of the towering political philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.His intellectual career was unusually wide-ranging, and he was celebrated internationally not only for his penetrating ideas about liberty, justice and equality, but also for his method, a highly original and influential combination of analytical philosophy and Marxism. Christine Sypnowich guides readers through the rich body of Cohen’s work.By identifying five paradoxes in his thought, she explores the origins of his interest in analytical philosophy, his engagement with the ideas of right-wing libertarianism, his critique of John Rawls’s work, his late-career turn to conservatism, and the tension between his preoccupation with individual responsibility and the idea of a socialist ethos.Sypnowich acknowledges the strengths of Cohen’s positions as well as their tensions and flaws, and presents him as a thinker of startling insight. This compelling introduction is a go-to resource for students and scholars of modern political philosophy.

The Feminist Legislation Project : Rewriting Laws for Gender-Based Justice
In this book, leading law academics along with lawyers, activists and others demonstrate what legislation could look like if its concern was to create justice for women. Each chapter contains a short piece of legislation – proposed in order to address a contemporary legal problem from a feminist perspective.These range across criminal law (sexual offences, Indigenous women’s experiences of criminal law, laws in relation to forced marriage, modern slavery, childcare and sentencing), civil law (aged care and housing rights, regulating the gig economy; surrogacy, gender equity in the construction industry) and constitutional law (human rights legislation, reimagining parliaments where laws are made for the benefit of women).The proposed laws are, moreover, drafted with feedback from a senior parliamentary draftsperson (providing guidance to contributors in a personal capacity), to ensure conformity with legislative rigour, as well as accompanied by an explanation of their reasons and their aims.Although the legislation is Australian-based, the issues raised by each are recognisably global, and are reflected in the legislation of most other nations. This first feminist legislation project will appeal to scholars of feminist legal studies, gender and the law, gender studies and others studying or working in relevant legal areas.
