The Critique of the Khwarizmi Mind by Saeed Nasheed.
Knowledge without understanding, and well-informed ignorance.
We have never been able to know as we are today. At the same time, we have never been as incapable of understanding as we are today. We have in our hands what the greatest libraries in the world have been unable to collect, and a finger's click away an answer to every question that comes to mind. However, our fears are growing and we seem more incapable of understanding our ever more complex world.It may seem from the title of this book that it comes in the context of denying the role of scientific progress in our lives! It is not like that... It is a criticism of our abandoning thinking and referring our questions to a machine to think about us... The machine does not ask the question, but provides ready answers that exclude thinking, excellence, and creativity... The machine may provide a poetic answer about love, but it will not fall into it, and it may know everything that has been written about death, but it will not live under the weight of the obsession of annihilation...The machine may seem more intelligent, but it remains the intelligence of transmission away from the anxiety of doubt, an intelligence that lacks the ability to interpret and grasp meaning in its multiple and different folds that build the self in the process of life.This book does not ask you to give up on the machine, but not allow it to replace your understanding. She tells you: “I think instead of you, I write and answer, I suggest and summarize, I explain and decide, so don't worry. I can bring you knowledge on any subject you want, so don't tire your mind thinking. ” But the equation here is very simple: is the goal to do better, or to live better! You have a choice!
