Dincolo de 100, \u00eencepe \u0163ara oamenilor de\u015ftep\u0163i, oameni preocupa\u0163i s\u0103 afle lucruri noi, s\u0103-\u015fi pun\u0103 \u00eentreb\u0103ri \u015fi s\u0103 locuiasc\u0103 \u00een disconfortul de a nu fi nic\u00e2nd mul\u0163umi\u0163i cu ceea ce deja \u015ftiu. Iar limita de sus a acestei \u0163\u0103ri a de\u015ftep\u0163ilor este fix 230, mai precis coeficientul cet\u0103\u0163eanului australian Terence Tao (36 de ani), cel mai ridicat \u00eenregistrat vreodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Un titlu interesant \u015fi care vine \u00een \u00eent\u00e2mpinarea insa\u0163iabilei pofte a publicului modern de a se delecta cu clasamente \u015fi topuri este 50 de idei geniale care au schimbat omenirea. O carte coordonat\u0103 \u015fi redactat\u0103 de John Farndon, dar la care au participat cu opinii, idei de clasificare, exemple \u015fi argumente o \u00eentreag\u0103 serie de exper\u0163i (scriitori, filosofi, matematicieni, cercet\u0103tori etc.). Nu \u00een ultimul r\u00e2nd, se cuvine precizat c\u0103 la alc\u0103tuirea acestui Panteon ale ideilor fundamentale au participat \u015fi sute de votan\u0163i on-line, care nu doar au alc\u0103tuit clasamente subiective, dar au expus \u015fi motivele pentru care au f\u0103cut o alegere sau alta.<\/p>\n
Aceast\u0103 nevoie de consultare, confruntare \u015fi \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u015fire a opiniilor s-a dovedit imperioas\u0103, c\u00e2t\u0103 vreme este deosebit de dificil s\u0103 afirmi, ca autor individual, care sunt cele mai mari idei ale tuturor timpurilor \u015fi ce vrea de fapt s\u0103 \u00eensemne “idee genial\u0103”. Este vorba despre ideea care a adus umanit\u0103\u0163ii cele mai multe avantaje sau de cea care a avut cel mai mare impact? “Cum \u00ee\u0163i dai seama – se justific\u0103 autorul – ce este mai bun: cafeaua sau capitalismul, c\u0103s\u0103toria sau monoteismul?”<\/p>\n
\u00centr-adev\u0103r, criteriile sunt destul de laxe, iar derapajele \u015fi riscurile unui astfel de top – crescute. P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103 \u00eens\u0103, ceea ce conteaz\u0103, \u00een opinia lui Farndon, este c\u0103 a \u00eencercat (\u015fi, credem noi, a \u015fi izbutit) s\u0103 ofere o hran\u0103 pentru minte, s\u0103 st\u00e2rneasc\u0103 dezbateri \u015fi confrunt\u0103ri interioare, s\u0103 celebreze nesf\u00e2r\u015fitele resurse de ingeniozitate ale umanit\u0103\u0163ii.<\/p>\n
\u00cen dreptul fiec\u0103rei idei (abolirea sclaviei, ceramica, democra\u0163ia, feminismul, scrierea, roata sau internetul – aflat, acesta din urm\u0103. aproape constant \u00een v\u00e2rful preferin\u0163elor responden\u0163ilor – etc.), autorul ofer\u0103 detalii despre istoricul ideii \u015fi despre impactul s\u0103u asupra lumii, precum \u015fi o suit\u0103 consistent\u0103 de argumente pro \u015fi contra. Ceea ce a rezultat este o istorie, povestit\u0103 accesibil \u015fi seduc\u0103tor, a g\u00e2ndirii umane \u015fi a capacit\u0103\u0163ii ei infinite de inovare.<\/p>\n
