Drawing on biology, psychology, and history, Jeffery Towery introduces the Bias-Amplitude Model (BAM): a framework for understanding how human cognition expresses under stress, and how social systems amplify or suppress that expression. Rather than treating collapse as moral failure or cultural decline, the book shows how instability emerges when systems ignore the biological realities of human diversity.
Through comparative historical analysis - from ancient Greece and Rome to Indigenous social architectures - Rise of Atlantis traces recurring failure modes and rare examples of restraint. These are not stories of heroes and villains, but of nervous systems operating under load.
The final chapters turn forward, reframing Atlantis not as myth or prophecy, but as a design target: a way of organizing societies that respects cognitive variation, regulates stress before optimizing performance, and measures progress by reduced biological harm rather than output or dominance.
This is not a prescription for utopia. It is a lens for seeing humanity clearly - and designing systems that stop fighting what we are.
