La confusione sull’introduzione del pensiero computazionale nelle scuole è grande. Non so se dipenda dalla storicamente scarsa dimestichezza della cultura italica con la parte logico-matematica del nostro cervello (e della storia del pensiero), da un magari in buona fede ma maldiretto tentativo di colmare il distacco con altri popoli, o dalla scarsa disponibilità di docenti abbastanza preparati e abbastanza coraggiosi da saper affrontare un cambio di paradigma che comunque non è più rimandabile.
Václav Havel today
Václav Havel was not only a hero of democracy, the prime mover behind the Velvet Revolution and the true father of the Czech Republic.
He was at the same time one of the most influential world-class intellectuals of the last century and a quintessential Czech. His wonderful mocking of all the bureaucracy jargons, newspeaks and governmental gibberishes of world stands unmatched to this day.
As a writer, as an opinion-leader as well as a politician, he anticipated many of the most pressing issues of our age: anti-consumerism, humanitarianism, environmentalism, civil activism, and direct democracy.
He was, as the European Parliament aptly put it, an advocate of an undivided Europe.
He would have turned 84 today. Všechno nejlepší, pane Prezidente.
