Product Details
- ¿Tiene la inteligencia los días contados? Un ensayo sugestivo y lleno de humor que reflexiona sobre el imparable (y no siempre trágico) ascenso de la necedad.¿Es posible que estemos asistiendo al ocaso de la inteligencia? ¿Por qué los necios parecen ganar terreno en la política, los negocios y la sociedad en su conjunto? Pino Aprile propone una teoría provocadora y sorprendente: en el mundo moderno, la estupidez no es un defecto evolutivo, sino una ventaja adaptativa. Así como la selección natural despojó a nuestros ancestros de la cola y el vello corporal, la selección cultural tiende a reducir las capacidades intelectuales que durante milenios nos permitieron sobrevivir. Y no es necesariamente una mala noticia para nuestra especie.En diálogo con las ideas de Darwin y del Premio Nobel Konrad Lorenz, Aprile nos invita a reflexionar sobre una paradoja inquietante: los inteligentes han construido el mundo, pero son los imbéciles quienes triunfan y lo disfrutan. Para ello, despliega cinco leyes fundamentales que revelan cómo los sistemas jerárquicos y burocráticos de nuestra era premian la mediocridad y castigan el talento. Y así, a través de un análisis tan perspicaz como cargado de ironía, aventura una hipótesis incómoda: «nuestra supervivencia depende ahora de la imbecilidad, por mucho que moleste a los inteligentes que queden».«Nadie es tan resuelto como quien no sabe adónde va.» Pino AprileLa crítica ha dicho...«Un libro muy interesante. Un ensayo antropológico muy divertido. A veces el humor es la forma más efectiva de desenmascarar la estupidez o reconocerla en uno mismo.» Javier del Pino«Otra conquista risueña de la inteligencia humana sobre la estupidez general.» Jordi Gracia«Me encantó este ensayo incisivo y a la vez amable, después del cual uno ya no ve la imbecilidad con los mismos ojos. En cierto modo, diría que es alquímico porque logra transformar la irritación en compasión. Se lo recomendaría muy especialmente a cualquier persona malhumorada.» Mario Colleoni
