Il nichilismo, la negazione di ogni valore, è anche quello che Nietzsche chiama "il più inquietante fra tutti gli ospiti". Si è nel mondo della tecnica e la tecnica non tende a uno scopo, non produce senso, non svela verità. Fa solo una cosa: funziona. Finiscono sullo sfondo, corrosi dal nichilismo, i concetti di individuo, identità, libertà, senso, ma anche quelli di natura, etica, politica, religione, storia, di cui si è nutrita l'età pretecnologica.

Tre anni dopo la pubblicazione del "Cigno nero", un racconto filosofico acclamato in tutto il mondo, Nassim Nicholas Taleb fa il bilancio della vita del suo libro.

We all have a certain role to play in what we want the world to look like. What the world looks and feels like today is because of our actions—or inactions; there is always a price to pay for both. The need to understand that we are responsible for what the world is today cannot be overemphasized.

This collection of short essays by G.K. Chesterton is as applicable in 2020 as it was when it was written in 1923 during the first "Progressive Era".

When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament, her email inbox was inundated with hate mail and threats, and her gut reaction was to delete and ignore each abusive message. But eventually, she decided to take a risk. She started replying to each message and inviting the senders to meet and engage in dialogue over coffee. And with time, understanding, and patience, she began to make a difference, both in the lives of those who hated her before even meeting her, and in her own life.
