São Paulo, 15 de Abril de 2011.
Dear Mr. Dawkins,
It will be an honor if this message get to your destination. I am
in good company with your intellectual integrity, and I am a reader of your
books. All of them... First I would like to congratulate you for your
masterful work in "The God Delusion”. Humbly, I would say that I have
advocated the same ideas in solitude, over almost 20 years, and this book is
like "the cavalry arrived”, and thank you. I have followed and
disclosed some of your presentations and interviews. And your work in
general, is a inspiring movement for knowledge.
You consider the whole package, Science, Evolution, and also the Myth´s History,
Genetic... And Neuroscience, that is still not as well known in my country, and
mainly its clinical impact. Universities have not updated their programs, which
will still be idolatry summary of myths as Freud, and their derivatives. I
my comment comes because the recent book of Michel Onfray about Freud. And
humbly again, I would say that, I have also written on the subject.
Finally, I feel pushed on to provide some
kind of service to humanity in the struggle for intellectual integrity,
and that transcends the limits of my daily life. I studied Electronic
Engineering, and am trained in mathematics, and I still a businessman. For 20
years, as I said, I have been working in a "project" called Ethos. The
prototype of a book. The name is an accident, considering the unfinished book of
Sagan, with the same title. But I feel very happy with the coincidence. To paraphrase Dennett,
"I found something that is bigger than my life", a mix of passion and
professional dedication to the subject. I have written essays, whose
research contributed a lot in my personal knowledge, "unofficial"
academically, in several areas.
The basic concepts of “Ethos” are:
- · A brief history of humankind knowledge (HISTORY);
- · And again, and again, the confrontation of the God of Abraham with the bible (GOD);
- · Neuroscience concepts. The free will is a trick. And Freud is a shaman (MIND);
- · There is a big misunderstood about what is science and about the scientific method (SCIENCE);
- · The science attitude is the only way for justice. Scientific attitude is the basis for ethics (ETHICS);
- · We are not fighting to have an utopic world, we are fighting for the best “process”. The best way of living, knowing that there is no perfect world; because of the complexity, the the stochastic effect of genetic, aligned with the memetics, and the chain of events of the life. So, knowledge and education are the best way, anyway (EDUCATION);
With a lot o Dawkins (hahaha),
Sagan, Dennett, Pinker, Tyson, Hitchens, Onfray... But the point is, in my
strategy, the way to put the words. I hope in a near future to count on your
advice and support, and I hope I will deserve this, hahaha.... I´m just looking
how to serve humankind freedom, through knowledge. If no matter, will be an
honor send you the final summary of my book. I feel in good company, with men
like you. Please... Go ahead.
