Mejor pensar

Wouldn't it be helpful if we could all think more clearly? That we could distinguish between fact and fiction, between truth and lies? The world is full of horrible discussions, conflicts, divisions, fake news, victimisms, exploitations, prejudices, fanaticism, guilt, screaming and a limited capacity for concentration. When a cat meme gets more attention than murder, does that mean logic is dead? Eugenia Cheng shows us how mathematics and logic can help us see things more clearly. And, more importantly, to know when politicians and big companies want to confuse us to take advantage of us. Public health, the movements against racism, Brexit... a lot of keys and debates of our day seem dominated by populism and superficial emotion. Cheng enlightens us: perhaps combining logic and emotions will help us to become more rational beings, not to allow ourselves to fall into certain traps and to live more fully.
