De altfel, nici Brooks nu este departe, social vorbind, de Gladwell: este senor editor la The Weekly Standard \u015fi editor colaborator la Newsweek, dar a colaborat \u015fi cu The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times sau The Washington Post.<\/p>\n
\n\u015ei cine poate \u201evinde\u201e mai bine cartea dec\u00e2t autorul \u00eens\u0103\u015fi: \u00eentr-un discurs la TED, David Brooks vorbe\u015fte despre devenirea insului modern: \u201eAm invadat Irakul cu o armat\u0103 oarb\u0103 la realit\u0103\u0163ile culturale \u015fi psihologice. Am avut un regim de compens\u0103ri financiare, bazat pe presupunerea c\u0103 afaceri\u015ftii sunt creaturi ra\u0163ionale care nu ar face nimic stupid… \u015ei asta a dus la o \u00eentrebare pentru mine: de ce acei oameni talenta\u0163i din punct de vedere social sunt complet dezumaniza\u0163i c\u00e2nd se g\u00e2ndesc la strategie?<\/p>\n
\nIar eu am ajuns la concluzia c\u0103 acesta este un simptom al unei probleme mai mari. \u015ei anume c\u0103, timp de secole, am mo\u015ftenit o perspectiv\u0103 asupra naturii umane bazat\u0103 pe no\u0163iunea c\u0103 sinele nostru este divizat, c\u0103 ra\u0163iunea este separat\u0103 de emo\u0163ii \u015fi c\u0103 societatea progreseaz\u0103 \u00een m\u0103sura \u00een care ra\u0163iunea poate suprima pasiunile. Se poate vedea \u00een felul \u00een care ne cre\u015ftem copiii. Mergi la o \u015fcoal\u0103 elementar\u0103 la trei dup\u0103-amiaza \u015fi \u00eei prive\u015fti pe copii ie\u015find, iar ei poart\u0103 aceste ghiozdane de 35 de kilograme… Vezi ma\u015finile care se apropie – de obicei sunt Saab-uri, Audi-uri \u015fi Volvo-uri… Sunt lua\u0163i de c\u0103tre aceste creaturi pe care le-am numit supermame, care sunt femei de carier\u0103 de mare succes, care \u015fi-au luat timp liber s\u0103 se asigure c\u0103 to\u0163i copiii lor intr\u0103 la Harvard.<\/p>\n
\n\u015ei de obicei \u00ee\u0163i po\u0163i da seama care sunt supermamele, pentru c\u0103 de fapt c\u00e2nt\u0103resc mai pu\u0163in dec\u00e2t copiii lor…Copiii sunt deci crescu\u0163i \u00eentr-un anumit fel, s\u0103rind prin cercuri ale realiz\u0103rii de lucruri pe care le putem m\u0103sura – preg\u0103tiri pentru SAT, oboi, antrenament de fotbal. Intr\u0103 la facult\u0103\u0163i competitive, ob\u0163in slujbe bune \u015fi uneori ob\u0163in succesul \u00eentr-un mod superficial \u015fi fac o gr\u0103mad\u0103 de bani. Uneori \u00eei po\u0163i vedea \u00een locuri de vacan\u0163\u0103 precum Jackson Hole sau Aspen. Iar ei au devenit elegan\u0163i \u015fi supli – nu au cu adev\u0103rat coapse; au doar o pulp\u0103 elegant\u0103 deasupra altei pulpe… Au propriii lor copii \u015fi au atins un miracol genetic prin c\u0103s\u0103toria cu oameni frumo\u015fi, \u00een a\u015fa fel \u00eenc\u00e2t bunicile lor arat\u0103 ca Gertrude Stein, fiicele lor arat\u0103 ca Halle Berry — nu \u015ftiu cum au reu\u015fit asta\u201e. Sper\u00e2nd c\u0103 v-am trezit curiozitatea, nu o s\u0103 v\u0103 mai spun dec\u00e2t ultima propozi\u0163ie din carte; este momentul mor\u0163ii personajului principal: \u201eHarold \u00een\u0163elesese c\u0103 via\u0163a este o ne\u0163\u0103rmurit\u0103 \u00eentrep\u0103trundere de suflete”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
