Résumé
The Creature of Contradiction: A Brief History of What We Were, What We Are, and What We Might Becomeby Abhijeet Sarkar, CEO & Founder, Synaptic AI Lab A Groundbreaking Re-examination of Who We Are, From the Dawn of Humanity to the Age of AI Why does one of the world's most advanced space programs pray to ancient gods before launching a rocket into orbit? Why did the very civilization that pioneered the doctrine of absolute non-violence also produce some of history's most formidable warrior cultures?In this sweeping and provocative history, visionary AI researcher Abhijeet Sarkar argues that these paradoxes are not mere curiosities.
They are the key to understanding the fundamental nature of our species. We are the Creature of Contradiction. Using the vast, vibrant, and chaotic 5, 000-year history of the Indian subcontinent as his primary laboratory, Sarkar reveals how the contradictions that define India are a supercharged version of the contradictions that define us all. This is not just a history of a nation; it is a history of the human mind, told from a powerful and clarifying new perspective.
Embark on an unforgettable journey and discover: Our Origin Story: How the Cognitive Revolution 70, 000 years ago made us both gods and demons, capable of creating breathtaking art and causing mass extinction. The Power of Fiction: How ancient myths and shared stories-from the Vedas to the concept of caste-became humanity's most effective tools for social engineering and control. The Great Collisions: How the encounters between worldviews-Buddhism and Brahminism, Islam and Hinduism, colonial science and Gandhian spirituality-forged the complex, layered reality we inhabit today.
The Modern Paradox: How a nation can launch Mars missions while battling medieval poverty, and function as the world's largest democracy while grappling with the ghosts of its ancient hierarchies. But this is not just a book about the past. As the founder of a leading AI lab, Sarkar brings a unique and urgent perspective to the unprecedented challenges we now face. What happens when a creature of contradiction, driven by tribal instincts and ancient beliefs, gains the god-like powers of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering?The Creature of Contradiction weaves together history, science, philosophy, and technology to tell the ultimate story of us.
It is a profound, illuminating, and endlessly fascinating guide to our past, our present, and our precarious future. This book will change not only how you see human history, but the story of yourself.
