Sinopse
This is a book of ideas—possibly different and unusual ideas—that are often anti-intuitive, politically incorrect and
contrary. It is about how humans view themselves, their world and the Universe. It is about something called a worldview—a collection of mental models that form a structure or frame-work with which the brain classifies and interprets incoming and existing input and forms the basis for what is though, believed, retained or dismissed.
A worldview is a collection of mental models that form a structure or framework with which the brain classifies and interprets incoming and existing input. It forms the basis for what and how an individual thinks and chooses to believe or dismiss.
In these wonderful, provocative, sometimes satirical but always brilliant essays, R. C. Hörsch argues that the prevailing worldview that humans are special on Earth and in the Universe, is comically prejudiced and hopelessly wrong. He suggests that humans exist not because of, but in spite of, their complex brains and that, far from being a masterpiece of the evolutionary process, the human brain is a mistake, an unfortunate mutation, a handicap to survival and a fundamentally unintelligent device poorly suited and unable to cope with modern requirements for complicated decision making and thought.
