In America today, we are witnessing efforts to manufacture hysteria about race for political agendas. Use of the N-word is surging. Incidents of explicit racism have increased even as people insist that they are not racist. Black colleges and churches are experiencing bomb threats. In some states, teachers are being forbidden to teach about race and gender differences, and book banning, when it occurs, represents a societal embrace of ignorance. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Dream is turning into a politically orchestrated nightmare.

Explicit racial bias in America has exploded during the past decade, demonstrating a resurgence of the old-fashioned kind of racial hatred. It is time to apply science to the subject of racism and stop this partisan nonsense. The way human brains deal with differences is an open secret. Understanding how this process works is critical to enacting meaningful change. There are no clear methods for totally eliminating politicized hatred, but, contrived political animosity aside, by far the most harm still endured by minorities is due to unconscious implicit biases—biases that form in the subconscious and affect our day-to-day behavior without us even realizing it. Charles D. Hayes says we can apply recent advances in behavioral, biological, and neurological science to dramatically reduce the ubiquity of unintentional biases. We can finally reap the benefits of understanding the confusion caused by our subconscious influences.

Evolving in a Dangerous World Made Racism Inevitable: Concerned Citizens, Police Officers and Teachers Can Help Change This is Charles D. Hayes' follow-up to Blue Bias: An Ex-Cop Turned Philosopher Examines the Learning and Resolve Necessary to End Hidden Prejudice in Policing. In his latest release, he shows why the culture war over race in this country is a tragic waste of human sentiment.

If you care about this subject, the argument in this book is a gamechanger. Spend a couple of hours of reading and your perspective on race and racism will be forever changed. You will know something extremely important that tragically remains a mystery to most Americans. And then you can help put a stop to the mindless hostility.

In this sequel to Portals in a Northern Sky, author Charles D. Hayes delivers another engrossing adventure set in the Alaska wilderness and populated with a colorful cast. A Mile North of Good and Evil invites readers to imagine the potential of visual time travel and to contemplate ideas ranging from the inner thoughts of psychopaths to apocalyptic prospects of total human extinction.

It’s 2028, seven years after introduction of the Portals System, and the world is on the brink of all-out war. Now known as Adam 21, the Portals technology offers the ability to look back in time and view any event in history from any angle. As a result, new animosities have been unleashed worldwide, based on old ethnic wounds and past aggressions. A Mile North of Good and Evil opens as the turmoil becomes explosive. Bold, creative action is called for.

Convening in Alaska, a group of strategists consider innovative and unprecedented ways to calm global tensions. At the same time, a brazen serial killer with ambitions of unequaled notoriety works his way north, and a retired detective gathers clues on the killer’s trail with the help of his gifted niece. Operating from America’s heartland, an influential religious leader objects to the power of Adam 21 and seeks to subvert it. In a world mad with contempt and hatred, domestic dogs tangle with wolves, and vengeance consumes the minds of those who feel wronged. As these players and their stories converge at a remote location in Alaska, the entire world reacts to living in the shadow of doomsday.

Both psychological thriller and philosophical exploration, A Mile North of Good and Evil contrasts the brutality of man-to-man combat, wolf attacks, and merciless homicides against thoughtful examination of the existential questions facing the story’s characters. Pondering their own mortality while exploring the nature of good and evil, they come to the profound realization that time is the greatest serial killer in the cosmos and that human life has meaning only so long as it is remembered.
