In-Sight Publishing Announces Noesis: The Journal of the Mega Society (November 2014–June 2025) Release
New compendium spans over a decade of thought-provoking interviews with reflections from one of the world’s most exclusive high-IQ societies.
British Columbia, CANADA, September 2025 /www.in-sightpublishing.com/ -- In-Sight Publishing announced the release of Noesis: The Journal of the Mega Society (November 2014–June 2025) by Scott Douglas Jacobsen, a comprehensive 524-page collection of contributions to the Mega Society's official journal spanning more than ten years. The first edition was released on September 2, 2025: https://in-sightpublishing.com/books/.
It is available on Apple Books (ISBN: 978-1-0692343-8-4). Noesis has been the forum for intellectual exchange within the Mega Society—an organization whose members theoretically qualify at the one-in-a-million level of cognitive rarity (megasociety.org).
The volume includes member contributions, featuring two forewords by Dr. Benoit Desjardins and Daniel Shea, as well as a prologue by Rick Rosner. Foreword author Dr. Benoit Desjardins, academic physician and Mega Society member, praised the project's ambition, writing that he was "immediately struck by the ambition" behind the compilation.
The collected Noesis submissions create "a rich mosaic of high-level inquiry" across an eclectic range of genres and topics. Readers will find a diversity of views. This reflects the journal's mission to balance intellectual rigour with human insight.
From philosophy, mathematics, and science to history and personal narratives, the compendium tackles profound questions. Recurring themes throughout the 2014–2025 submissions by Jacobsen include the search for meaning, the interplay of reason and imagination, and the role of extreme intelligence in society.
Contributors engage deeply with these subjects, but they also infuse the pages with wit, artistry, and personal perspective. The result: A chronicle of a unique intellectual community. This complex presentation serves as a record of the community.

About the Mega Society
The Mega Society is an independent society for high-IQ individuals. Dr. Ronald K. Hoeflin founded it in 1982. Hypothetically, it represents a credible membership of individuals who have scored at the one-in-a-million level on a credible experimental test of cognitive abilities—the only one of its type formerly listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. By implicit design, the society remains small. Noesis: the Journal of the Mega Society has been the official journal of the Mega Society for decades. The publication's endurance over the years highlights the society's mission.

Fumfer Physics 3: Informational Cosmology & Consciousness
Rick Rosner: If we're going to do Fumfer for Physics, let me quickly lay out the principles of informational cosmology. Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What principles define informational cosmology? The guiding idea is that the universe processes information, and the patterns by which it does so show strong, useful parallels with how we encode, store, and transform information. Follow that line and the question of consciousness becomes unavoidable—what it is, how it relates to information, and whether an informational ontology can make sense of subjective experience.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

Rachel Reviews: Paradise Cove - They Escaped the Cuckoo's Nest by Pini Dunner
On starting Pini Dunner's book, I was grateful for the thorough history that is provided at the start. This gives a much-needed context in order to enjoy the subsequent letters contained therein. The letters belong to George Nagel, an octagenarian pursuing a psychology degree which in itself would be remarkable; however, it is soon clear that this is just one remarkable thing in a life full of them.
