Big data, ubiquitous tracking, and artificial intelligence are enabling businesses to disseminate rapidly proliferating permutations of digital marketing and sales materials, each of which can be micro-targeted to particular consumers in real time and space. When the algorithms that design and deliver these advertisements, websites, and apps are optimized only for profit and deception is profitable, consumers will be deceived. Yet at the same time that digital deception is becoming inevitable, it is racing toward immunity from liability. The accepted evidentiary methods for proving deception, from direct application of the reasonable person standard to controlled experiments demonstrating the deceptiveness of a defendant's conduct, are neither practicable nor scientifically valid when applied to vast numbers of unique, micro-targeted communications. This article identifies and explains this emerging threat to the legal regulation of the consumer marketplace and suggests ways in which the law might give businesses sufficient incentive to engage in fair marketing by design.
A history of the anti-evolution "Intelligent Design" movement in the US, from the Scopes trial in 1925, through the rise of creation "science" in the 1980's, to the rise of intelligent design "theory" in the 1990's. Appendix includes the Wedge Document, a leaked internal planning paper which spells out the theocratic political goals of the Intelligent Design movement.
Interior designer Isabella Hughes has created a perfect life for herself. Raised on a farm in Ohio, she has paved her way to the top of the design world and married the love of her life, leaving her meager upbringing behind her. The owner of an upscale firm in Manhattan, Isabella is the epitome of a successful businesswoman. But the demon of self-doubt still haunts her. It threatens to destroy everything: her career, her marriage, and even her life. Yes, Isabella has issues-abandonment issues. She was left by her mother when she was younger. Professionally, she is rock solid, but personally, she is unsteady. When Grayson Hughes came into her life, he was her knight in shining armor. Now, ten years into their supposedly happy marriage, Grayson becomes hostile and cruel. Unbeknownst to Isabella, Grayson is harboring a dark secret. While Isabella maneuvers through the turmoil of her personal life, she is awarded the design project of her dreams. To help her down this unfamiliar path, she relies on her new business manager, Julian Grossaint, seeking not only his guidance, but also comfort in his arms. As Isabella's life spins out of control, the ramifications of her betrayal turn deadly. Is Grayson's bizarre behavior to blame, or has Isabella unknowingly concocted her own Deception by Design? This book is intended for mature audiences.
Mitchell and Thompson have compiled the first interdisciplinary study of deception and its manifestations in a variety of animal species. Deception is unique in that it presents detailed explorations of the broadest array of deceptive behavior, ranging from deceptive signaling in fireflies and stomatopods, to false-alarm calling by birds and foxes, to playful manipulating between people and dogs, to deceiving within intimate human relationships. It offers a historical overview of the problem of deception in related fields of animal behavior, philosophical analyses of the meaning and significance of deception in evolutionary and psychological theories, and diverse perspectives on deception--philosophical, ecological, evolutionary, ethological, developmental, psychological, anthropological, and historical. The contributions gathered herein afford scientists the opportunity to discover something about the formal properties of deception, enabling them to explore and evaluate the belief that one set of descriptive and perhaps explanatory structures is suitable for both biological and psychological phenomena.
Upending our perception of employment, a surprising investigation into the mystical nature of our daily toil. Dreamwork is a book about the ideas, dreams, dreads, and ideals we have about work. Its central argument is this: Although we depend on the idea of work for our identity as humans, we feel we must disguise from ourselves the fact that we do not know what work is. There is no example of work that nobody might, under some circumstances, do for fun. All work is imaginary—which is not to say that it is simply illusory, but rather that, to count as work, it must be imagined to be work. In other words, a large part of what we mean by working is this work of imagining. Work is therefore essentially mystical—just the opposite of what it is taken to be by all of us spending our days at desks, behind cash registers, and in factories. Delving into this complex mythos, Dreamwork looks in turn at worries about whether or not work is hard; the importance of places of work; the meanings of hobbies, holidays, and sabbaths; and the history of dreams of redeeming work.
Deception by Design provides a comprehensive study of Mormonism; exposes the surprising source of Joseph Smiths conversion story; reveals the immense influence of others on Smiths beliefs; equips evangelical Christians with principals for witnessing to Mormons. Allen Harrod has written a wonderfully helpful and insightful book on Mormonism. It is both original in its research, as well as in its offering helpful conclusions and applications regarding the nature and history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Dr. R. Philip Roberts, president, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Deception by Design represents the best book I have seen in terms of explicating the beliefs and theology of Mormonism and at the same time providing superb approaches to presenting the claims of Christ to Mormons. Dr. Paige Patterson, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
This edited book collection offers strong theoretical and philosophical insight into how digital platforms and their constituent algorithms interact with belief systems to achieve deception, and how related vices such as lies, bullshit, misinformation, disinformation, and ignorance contribute to deception. This inter-disciplinary collection explores how we can better understand and respond to these problematic practices. The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era: Dupery by Design will be of interest to anyone concerned with deception in a ‘postdigital’ era including fake news, and propaganda online. The election of populist governments across the world has raised concerns that fake news in online platforms is undermining the legitimacy of the press, the democratic process, and the authority of sources such as science, the social sciences and qualified experts. The global reach of Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms has shown that they can be used to create and spread fake and misleading news quickly and without control. These platforms operate and thrive in an increasingly balkanised media eco-system where networks of users will predominantly access and consume information that conforms to their existing worldviews. Conflicting positions, even if relevant and authoritative, are suppressed, or overlooked in everyday digital information consumption. Digital platforms have contributed to the prolific spread of false information, enabled ignorance in online news consumers, and fostered confusion over determining fact from fiction. The collection explores: Deception, what it is, and how its proliferation is achieved in online platforms. Truth and the appearance of truth, and the role digital technologies play in pretending to represent truth. How we can counter these vices to protect ourselves and our institutions from their potentially baneful effects.
