Americanii au f\u0103cut lista crizelor care vor decima omenirea \u00een urm\u0103torii 50 – 80 de ani. La ce s\u0103 ne a\u0219tept\u0103m<\/a><\/p>\n\u00cen anul 1995, Carl Sagan a lansat cartea \u201eThe Demon-Haunted World\u201d (Lumea b\u00e2ntuit\u0103 de demoni), \u00een care a explorat felul \u00een care \u0219tiin\u021ba a reu\u0219it s\u0103 aduc\u0103 \u201elumin\u0103\u201d chiar \u0219i \u00een cele mai \u00eentunecate col\u021buri ale universului. Aceast\u0103 lucrare a pus accentul pe pericolele falsei \u0219tiin\u021be \u0219i a analfabetismului \u0219tiin\u021bific, \u00eendemn\u00e2ndu-\u0219i cititorii s\u0103-\u0219i dezvolte scepticismul \u0219i g\u00e2ndirea critic\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u00centr-un pasaj care a st\u00e2rnitdezbateri pe internet, Sagan \u00ee\u0219i exprim\u0103 \u00eengrijorarea cu privire la viitorul SUA. El anticipa c\u0103 oamenii, fiind dezam\u0103gi\u021bi de lipsa lor de influen\u021b\u0103 asupra politicilor care le afecteaz\u0103 via\u021ba, vor apela din ce \u00een ce mai mult la supersti\u021bie \u0219i pseudo\u0219tiin\u021b\u0103, pierz\u00e2ndu-\u0219i capacitatea de a discerne \u00eentre fals \u0219i adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Fragmentul-cheie din carte care ilustreaz\u0103 preocup\u0103rile profunde ale lui Sagan este urm\u0103torul:\u00a0\u201e\u0218tiin\u021ba este mai mult dec\u00e2t ni\u0219te cuno\u0219tin\u021be acumulate. Este un mod de a g\u00e2ndi. Am un sentiment r\u0103u despre aceast\u0103 Americ\u0103 \u00een care vor tr\u0103i copiii \u0219i nepo\u021bii mei. M\u0103 tem c\u0103 puterea tehnologic\u0103 va fi concentrat\u0103 de m\u00e2inile c\u00e2torva, iar oamenii \u00ee\u0219i vor pierde capacitatea de a-\u0219i controla destinul.<\/p>\n
Fiecare individ va c\u0103dea prad\u0103 fascina\u021biei cu cristale \u0219i va parcurge nervos paginile horoscoapelor. \u00centr-un peisaj \u00een care lipsa g\u00e2ndirii critice \u0219i incapacitatea de a discerne \u00eentre realitate \u0219i pl\u0103cerea imediat\u0103 devin ceva normal, ne vom scufunda aproape imperceptibil \u00een apele \u00eentunecate ale supersti\u021biei\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00cen acest pasaj, Sagan afirm\u0103 c\u0103 oamenii vor avea tendin\u021ba s\u0103 se orienteze c\u0103tre supersti\u021bii \u0219i pseudo\u0219tiin\u021b\u0103 \u00een defavoarea realit\u0103\u021bii. El mai adaug\u0103 c\u0103 publicul va avea dificult\u0103\u021bi intelectuale \u00een a distinge \u00eentre ceea ce le ofer\u0103 confort \u0219i ceea ce este adev\u0103rul. Cu alte cuvinte, oamenii vor crede \u00een ceea ce le place s\u0103 aud\u0103, nu \u00een adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
Multe persoane sunt de acord c\u0103 omul de \u0219tiin\u021b\u0103, datorit\u0103 sensibilit\u0103\u021bii \u0219i inteligen\u021bei sale remarcabile, a prev\u0103zut corect esen\u021ba schimb\u0103rilor care \u00eencepuser\u0103 s\u0103 se contureze \u00eenc\u0103 de atunci \u0219i care acum par evidente. \u00cen prezent, putem observa cum tehnologia \u0219i informa\u021biile sunt controlate de o elit\u0103 format\u0103 din afaceri\u0219ti \u0219i intelectuali, \u00een timp ce spiritul critic al maselor de oameni este deseori \u00eenlocuit de o tendin\u021b\u0103 de a accepta u\u0219or informa\u021bii false.<\/p>\n
