Peter Watson. Historian, writer and author of Ideas

Ғылым және технология

We are much less innovative today than we had been in some parts of the past.
Peter Watson has repeatedly expressed a critical view on our current times and its insignificance in terms of innovation and ideas. In his opinion, during the last 60 years we have not been able to come up with any radical, big ideas, with exception of maybe the contraception pill and Internet. We went to London to speak with him about a wide range of topics: his book Ideas, the correlation between the rise of liquidity and nihilism, why art died with Andy Warhol, the problem with intimacy, and why he thinks that our blind belief in science might actually keep us from further developing and advancing as a species.

    I’m about halfway through Convergence. Definitely one of the better books I’ve ever read.

    Lamentablemente a los comerciantes detras de Peter o al mismo, pues youtube eliminó información, especificamente audiolibros en español de su trabajo "ideas y la era de la nada', fueron detectados en 4 dias, los cuales llevaron a muchos más comentarios y vistas que en aqui, y en su idioma original. Times to think...

    But Europe IS on its last legs--laid low by Islam and Sino-Philia.
