Cognitive Superiority : Information to Power
In a world of accelerating unending change, perpetual surveillance, and increasing connectivity, conflict has become ever more complex.Wars are no longer limited to the traditional military conflict domains—land, sea, air; even space and cyber space.The new battlefield will be the cognitive domain and the new conflict a larger contest for power; a contest for cognitive superiority.Written by experts in military operations research and neuropsychology, this book introduces the concept of cognitive superiority and provides the keys to succeeding within a complex matrix where the only rules are the laws of physics, access to information, and the boundaries of cognition. The book describes the adversarial environment and how it interacts with the ongoing, accelerating change that we are experiencing, irrespective of adversaries.It talks about the ascendant power of information access, pervasive surveillance, personalized persuasion, and emerging new forms of cognition.It profiles salient technologies and science, including persuasion science, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), surveillance technologies, complex adaptive systems, network science, directed human modification, and biosecurity.Readers will learn about human and machine cognition, what makes it tick, and why and how we and our technologies are vulnerable. Following in the tradition of Sun-Tsu and von Clausewitz, this book writes a new chapter in the study of warfare and strategy.It is written for those who lead, aspire to leadership, and those who teach or persuade, especially in the fields of political science, military science, computer science, and business.

The P51 Mustang : From Tactical Superiority to Strategic Supremacy
The P51 Mustang, a single-engine warplane fighter, although a late arrival in the Second World War, proved vital in the crucial air-war conflict in Europe.It was first envisaged in a tactical role - a low to medium level reconnaissance fighter-bomber supporting army ground operations.It did well but was rejected by RAF Fighter Command as a high-level dogfighter as being out-performed above medium levels of altitude.RAF Bomber Command had abandoned day-time raiding over Germany because of the vulnerability of its bombers to fighter attack beyond the range of escort limit range of Fighter Command Spitfires.The waiting Me 10lis and FW 190s would pounce causing huge losses.Bomber Command then continued to take the fight to Germany under cover of darkness. The US Eighth Army Air Force renewed daylight bombing with tactics of attacking in large formations of Boeing B17 Flying Fortresses with heavy machine guns for defensive cover but against experienced Luftwaffe pilots losses again mounted to unsustainable levels.The author gives a stunning picture of air crew experience in which the reader can feel personally involved.Development of the P51 continued and this must be one of the success-stories of the air-war.Rolles-Royce approved the admirable air frame and substituted the RR Merlin engine for the inadequately supercharged Alison engine.Merlin engines had been fitted in the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfires, de Havilland Mosquito and Avro Lancaster.The result was the Mustang as a virtually unbeatable high-altitude dogfighter with large fuel tanks giving a huge radius of action.So here was a world-class strategic fighter which could protect strategic bombers to the target and home again.The P51 Mustang was the single engine fighter with strategic capability that transformed strategic bombing as a war-winning campaign in Europe.Here is the essential difference between strategy and tactics and connection with concepts of 'offensive' and 'defensive' and the unique role of the P51.

The Better Half : On the Genetic Superiority of Women
From an award-winning medic and scientist, the game-changing case that genetic females have greater resilience, immunity, endurance and more, compared with males'A powerful antidote to the myth of a "weaker sex"' Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered BrainFrom birth, genetic females are better at fighting viruses, infections and cancer.They do better at surviving epidemics and famines. They live longer, and even see the world in a wider variety of colours.These are the facts; they are simply stronger than men at every stage of life.Why? And why are we taught the opposite?Drawing on his wide-ranging experience and cutting-edge research as a medic, geneticist and specialist in rare diseases, Dr Sharon Moalem set out to understand why women are consistently more likely than men to thrive.The answer, he reveals, lies in our genetics: the female's double XX chromosomes offer a powerful survival advantage. Moalem explains why genetic females outperform males when it comes to immunity, resilience, stamina and much more. And he calls for a long-overdue reconsideration of our male-centric, one-size-fits-all view of the body and of how we prescribe medications - a view that still frames women through the lens of men.Revolutionary, captivating and utterly persuasive, The Better Half will make you see women, men and the survival of our species anew.

The Art of Military Coercion : Why the West's Military Superiority Scarcely Matters
The United States spends more on its military than the rest of the world combined. And Western nations in general spend far more than developing nations around the globe.Yet when Western nations have found themselves in conflicts in recent decades, their performance has been mixed at best.In his fully updated new edition of The Art of Military Coercion, Rob de Wijk presents a theory on the use of force.He argues that the key is a failure to use force decisively, to properly understand the dynamics of conflict and balance means and ends.Without that ability, superiority of dollars, numbers, and weaponry won't necessarily translate to victory.

The study of spiritual superiority in relation to righteousness, ego power, and self-realization
INTRODUCTION sa evayam maya te 'dya yogah proktah puratanah bhakto 'si me sakha ceti rahasyam hy etad uttamam That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend and can therefore understand the transcendental mystery of this science (Lord Krishna to Arjuna). (Bhagavad-gita: 4.3) Spiritual transcendence represents a motivational construct that reflects an individual's efforts to create a broad sense of personal meaning for one's life. Those high on transcendence are able to find a larger sense of meaning and purpose to life that goes beyond their immediate sense of time and place. Transcendent individuals have developed a transpersonal sense, and feel an attachment to nature and communities. This transcendental element that is fundamental is the feeling that there is a spiritual reality that appears to be beyond the conscious self with whom the individual can have communication in one way or another. This transcendent perspective is one in which a person sees a fundamental unity underlying the diverse striving of nature, and finds a bonding with others that cannot be severed, not even by death. On this broader, more holistic and inter-connected perspective, an individual recognizes a synchronicity to life, and develops a sense of commitment to others (Piedmont, 1997). Although religion and spirituality are venues that certainly attract those with a strong sense of transcendence, there are other ways this motivation can find expression. Transcendence is a fundamental
