Synopsis "Nuevo Elogio del Imbecil (in Spanish)"

¿Tiene la inteligencia los dias contados? Un ensayo sugestivo y lleno de humor que reflexiona sobre el imparable (y no siempre tragico) ascenso de la necedad. ¿Es posible que estemos asistiendo al ocaso de la inteligencia? ¿Por que los necios parecen ganar terreno en la politica, los negocios y la sociedad en su conjunto? Pino Aprile propone una teoria provocadora y sorprendente: en el mundo moderno, la estupidez no es un defecto evolutivo, sino una ventaja adaptativa. Asi como la seleccion natural despojo a nuestros ancestros de la cola y el vello corporal, la seleccion cultural tiende a reducir las capacidades intelectuales que durante milenios nos permitieron sobrevivir. Y no es necesariamente una mala noticia para nuestra especie. En dialogo con las ideas de Darwin y del Premio Nobel Konrad Lorenz, Aprile nos invita a reflexionar sobre una paradoja inquietante: los inteligentes han construido el mundo, pero son los imbeciles quienes triunfan y lo disfrutan. Para ello, despliega cinco leyes fundamentales que revelan como los sistemas jerarquicos y burocraticos de nuestra era premian la mediocridad y castigan el talento. Y asi, a traves de un analisis tan perspicaz como cargado de ironia, aventura una hipotesis incomoda: nuestra supervivencia depende ahora de la imbecilidad, por mucho que moleste a los inteligentes que queden. ¿Nadie es tan resuelto como quien no sabe adonde va. Pino Aprile

Piino Aprile (Gioia del Colle, 1950) is a prominent Italian journalist and writer whose career has left a deep mark on the cultural and political landscape of his country. As a journalist, he worked for RAI and led major publications such as Oggi and Gente, in addition to conducting exclusive reports from Albania under Enver Hoxha's regime and witnessing the fall of the Berlin Wall. His literary work, which began in 1997 with an initial version of Elogio del imbécil, reached an extraordinary dimension with Terroni (2010), a critical analysis of the Italian unification and the southern question that has sold more than half a million copies. In Spanish, Elogio del error (2003) has also been published.
