1755 - TRUMP E A NOVA ORDEM MUNDIAL: DANIEL LOPEZ

Published in 1949, '1984' is a cautionary tale by George Orwell that explores the dangers of totalitarianism. The novel is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into three super-states, with the protagonist Winston Smith living in Oceania, ruled by the mysterious and omnipotent leader Big Brother. Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he rewrites historical records to conform to the Party's ever-changing narrative. He begins an illicit love affair with Julia and starts to rebel against the Party, but they are eventually caught and subjected to brutal torture and indoctrination. The novel highlights themes of government surveillance, manipulation of language and history, and the suppression of individual freedom and independent thought.

Em "A Revolução dos Bichos", George Orwell utiliza uma fábula animal para satirizar a Revolução Russa e os regimes totalitários. Os animais de uma fazenda se rebelam contra seus opressores humanos, mas a revolução acaba sendo corrompida pelo poder e pela ganância. A obra explora temas como a corrupção do poder, a manipulação ideológica e a luta de classes. A alegoria animal permite uma crítica social contundente e atemporal. A obra permanece relevante por sua análise perspicaz dos perigos do poder absoluto e da manipulação ideológica.

The Black Swan is a landmark book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb that investigates the phenomenon of highly improbable events with massive impacts. These events, termed Black Swans, are unpredictable, have a significant impact, and are rationalized after the fact to appear less random. Taleb argues that humans are hardwired to focus on specifics rather than generalities, leading to a failure to consider what we don’t know. The book delves into cognitive biases, the limitations of mathematical models, and the importance of robustness and antifragility in navigating a world filled with uncertainty. The second edition includes a new essay, 'On Robustness and Fragility,' offering tools to navigate and exploit a Black Swan world.

En 'Antifrágil', Taleb redefine la relación con la incertidumbre, proponiendo que ciertos sistemas (económicos, biológicos, sociales) no solo resisten el caos, sino que requieren de él para evolucionar. A través de ejemplos multidisciplinarios, el autor argumenta que la antifragilidad es clave para sobrevivir en entornos impredecibles, ofreciendo un marco para tomar decisiones sin depender de predicciones fallidas.
