What Is Your Dangerous Idea?
Book contains a set of provocative ideas on delicate topics: soulful, existential, religious, cultural, philosophical, scientific and futuristic. Some people were just brave to submit their ideas because they knew themselves that it would immediately turn nearly everyone against them. This book oversteps silently agreed assumptions. For me some of those ideas seem delusional and not really hitting the target but all of them deserves applause because in every society it is a rarity that someone puts their head out of the sand. Book is very easy and concise, three pages on average for an idea, each by different author. Subtitle of this book “Today’s Leading Thinkers on the Unthinkable” and the back cover explains the content quite well:
“What Is Your Dangerous Idea?. Not all ideas are for positive, constructive change. Some ideas are controversial, unpalatable, even disturbing. As Steven Pinker points out, many discoveries in the history of science were considered socially, morally or emotionally dangerous in their time; and many ideas that resonate today are dangerous too, not because they are assumed to be false, but because they might – just – turn out to be true.”
