What is power? How does it become centralized or decentralized? These questions are at the heart of understanding how governments work. Humankind has barely scratched the surface of what it takes to provide for democracy, equality, and reduced social risk. History has taught us that centralizing power in one group member creates maximum power inequality and typically results in abuse of power. Whether done consciously or unconsciously, that group member will inevitably make decisions that serve personal rather than public interests. It's human nature.In The Four Powers, Hanania provides a fast-paced historical assessment of centralized power. From World War I to crypto, Hanania explains the emerging trend toward technodemocracy: a decentralized system of governance whereby power-centralized institutions (such as churches, banks, political parties, campaign donors, Amazon, and the CIA) become obsolete.ABOUT THE AUTHORFrom the author of Architecture of a Technodemocracy (2018), an Amazon bestseller for both U.S. politics and sociology, comes this eye-opening analysis of the human power structure. Jason M. Hanania is an attorney, an engineer, and a former U.S. government employee.INTRODUCTIONAn Equation for PowerIn 2016 I set out to write the book Architecture of a Technodemocracy.It documents a system for ending political party systems using technology and democracy.Before authoring that book, I searched far and wide for an institutional definition of democracy but found none.If you asked ten social scientists for a simple definition of democracy, you would get ten different responses.As an engineer, I found this frustrating.I wanted a more technical understanding of democracy, a mathematical framework to build on.The same way physical science provides equations for motion (such as force equals mass times acceleration, or F = ma), I wanted a social science equation for democracy...

Given that some are uncertain about eternal life, an essential purpose of this book is to consider, once death has occurred, whether such terms as eternal life and immortality are relevant and whether they can be substantiated by belief systems that influence our society. Hence, prompting thought to what might lie beyond death. Whilst the foregoing may be an essential purpose, the principal purpose of the book is to reveal and argue that death is indeed just a marker in the enduring timeline of human existence and that there is an opportunity for everyone to experience real eternal life.In support of the foregoing, two biblical references are provided. The first is from 1 Corinthians and the second is from the book of Revelation. An explanation of what constitutes life will be explained in the forthcoming pages. Additionally, an explanation of death will also be provided and a differentiation will be made between physical and spiritual death for both are relevant for a balanced understanding of eternal life.

Peter's rooftop vision is a popular proof text used to discourage followers of Messiah Yeshua from obeying the Bible's dietary laws that prohibit certain meats, such as bacon, that God has declared to be unclean. Peter was a zealous figure who, at times, misunderstood Yeshua's evangelistic mission and missed the bigger picture. To improve his spiritual view, Peter was given a weighty intervention in the form of a vision. Many who shake their heads sagely as they read of Peter's mistakes might themselves be misunderstanding Yeshua's mission, partly by misunderstanding Peter's vision. In the end, Peter did interpret his vision correctly, though his words have become lost in a modern narrative that replaces Peter's report of the meaning of his vision . This booklet examines Peter's vision in the proper linguistic, historical, and Word-based context for accurate study and understanding. The result is the Good News taking deeper root in our lives.
