Apocalipsis cognitivo

We live in an unprecedented moment. Never in the history of humanity have we had so much information and we have never had so much free time to spend on leisure and learning about the world. Our predecessors dreamed that one day science and technology would liberate humanity. However, this dream is now at risk of turning into a nightmare. The avalanche of information to which we are exposed on the networks has generated a generalized competition of all ideas, a deregulation of the "cognitive market" with a regrettable result: capturing, often for the worse, the precious treasure of our attention. Our minds suffer the spell of the screens and surrender to the thousand faces of unreason. Victim of full-fledged looting, our minds are at stake and our future depends on it. In this disturbing context, some of the deepest aspirations of humanity are revealed to us. Has the time come to confront our own nature? Can we escape this threat to civilization? Bronner analyzes this situation from all perspectives and proposes us to rebuild the necessary social conditions and foster the best part of ourselves.
