A Biblioteca de Alexandria não foi destruída pelo
fogo, mas pelo esquecimento
Por Bruno Vaiano
"Há crimes piores do que queimar livros. Não lê-los é
um deles." – Ray Bradbury.
Três séculos antes de Cristo, Alexandre, o Grande,
conquistou o Egito e mandou erguer, do zero, uma
metrópole no litoral norte do país. Alexandria, batizada
em homenagem a seu patrono desumilde, seria a nova
capital da região. A estética faraônica clichê, dourada
e azul, prevaleceu por lá (bem como o hábito egípcio
de os nobres se casarem entre irmãos, à moda Cersei
em Game of Thrones). Mas esse novo Egito Antigo,
assim como o próprio Alexandre, tinha uma pinta grega
inegável.
O sucessor de Alexandre, o Grande, por aquelas
bandas, nomeado Ptolomeu I, ordenou a construção
de um centro de ensino e pesquisa em Alexandria para
atrair a elite intelectual da época. Tipo uma versão
helênica e antiquíssima do Instituto de Estudos
Avançados de Princeton, onde monstros sagrados das
exatas como Einstein, Gödel e Neumann trabalharam
juntos na década de 1950.
O nome dessa instituição era Mouseion. Em
português, “Museu”. O significado original da palavra é
“templo dedicado às musas” — as deusas do panteão
grego que, na tradição helênica, inspiravam as artes, a
literatura e a ciência. Essa também é a origem
etimológica de “música”, diga-se. Compôs uma bela
canção? Legal, mas não foi bem você. Tudo que é belo
emana dessas divas – artistas são só os meros
mortais que, volta e meia, têm o privilégio de receber
um download de versos do Olimpo.
A Biblioteca de Alexandria acabou se tornando o
mais famoso dos prédios desse complexo. Bibliotecas
não eram novidade. Já existiam na Suméria; são
quase tão antigas quanto a escrita em si. Mas essa
almejava um passo além: Ptolomeu queria uma cópia
de cada obra já escrita na Terra. Por isso, os
tripulantes de toda embarcação que aportava em
Alexandria eram forçados, por decreto, a fornecer ao
Museu os pergaminhos que tivessem a bordo – que
então eram copiados por escribas e armazenados na
coleção. Deu certo.
Essa Harvard ptolomaica prosperou por séculos, e
não acabou por causa de um incêndio – nem qualquer
outro ato pontual de vandalismo. Júlio César danificou
parte da coleção quando sitiou Alexandria e ateou fogo
ao porto, em 48 a.C. Mas, nessa época, o Museu já
havia perdido prestígio e os acadêmicos preferiam
trabalhar em outros lugares.
Em 297 d.C., quando Diocleciano incendiou a cidade
novamente para conter uma rebelião, é provável que o
prédio original da Biblioteca já não existisse mais: as
últimas evidências inequívocas da contratação de
funcionários datam de 260 d.C.
Não era fácil sustentar um exército de bibliotecários
e escribas copistas para manter a coleção atualizada,
higiênica e catalogada. Bastava um fiapo de
desinteresse coletivo para a coisa degringolar. O
território egípcio mudou de mãos e crenças muitas
vezes ao longo da História – os califados árabes
vieram por último e estabeleceram sua capital
intelectual em Bagdá, relegando Alexandria à periferia
do avanço científico-tecnológico durante a Idade
Média.
O fato é que você não precisa atear fogo a um livro
para queimá-lo. O conhecimento não desaparece da
noite para o dia só porque seu suporte material foi
destruído.
Hoje, qualquer sebo parrudo contém mais
conhecimento do que a Biblioteca de Alexandria.
Mesmo assim, 73% dos estudantes brasileiros estão
abaixo do nível de conhecimento sobre Matemática
que a Organização para a Cooperação e
Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) considera
mínimo para que se possa exercer a cidadania
satisfatoriamente.
Na avaliação de Leitura, são 50%. Em Ciências,
55%. Mais da metade da população em idade escolar
do País, nas palavras dos organizadores do Programa
Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (Pisa), tem
algum prejuízo na hora de “participar plenamente da
vida social, econômica e cívica em um mundo
globalizado”.
Pode soar o alarme: nossa biblioteca está
(metaforicamente) em chamas.

TEXT VII
"Divergent" is a dark and thrilling series of young adult
science fiction books by American novelist Veronica Roth.
The trilogy consists of "Divergent" (2011), "Insurgent"
(2012), and "Allegiant" (2013), which were later adapted
into 3 films.
It is set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian Chicago that has
separated its population into five Factions, each defined by
certain values. The Factions are Dauntless (the brave),
Amity (the kind), Erudite (the intelligent), Abnegation (the
selfless), and Candor (the honest). Each year, teenagers
of a certain age take a placement test and then choose the
Faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. In
Chapter 1, we are introduced to Beatrice Prior, who later
changes her name to Tris, the protagonist and narrator of
the story. As she sits in front of a mirror while her mother
cuts her hair, she reflects on the life challenges she will
have to face soon.
Chapter 1
THERE IS ONE mirror in my house. It is behind a sliding
panel in the hallway upstairs. Our faction allows us to
stand in front of it on the second day of every third month,
the day my mother cuts my hair.
I sit on the stool and my mother stands behind me with the
scissors, trimming. The strands fall on the floor in a dull,
blond ring.
When she finishes, she pulls my hair away from my face
and twists it into a knot. I note how calm she looks and
how focused she is. She is well-practiced in the art of
losing herself. I can't say the same of myself.
I sneak a look at my reflection when she isn't paying
attention-not for the sake of vanity, but out of curiosity. A
lot can happen to a person's appearance in three months.
In my reflection, I see a narrow face, wide, round eyes, and
a long, thin nose -I still look like a little girl, though
sometime in the last few months I turned sixteen. The
other factions celebrate birthdays, but we don't. It would be
self-indulgent.
(...) "So today is the day," she says.
"Yes," I reply.
"Are you nervous?"
I stare into my own eyes for a moment. Today is the day of
the Aptitude test that will show me which of the five
factions I belong in. And tomorrow, at the Choosing
Ceremony, I will decide on a faction; I will decide the rest
of my life; I will decide to stay with my family or abandon
them.
"No," I say. "The tests don't have to change our choices."
"Right." She smiles. "Let's go eat breakfast."
"Thank you. For cutting my hair."
She kisses my cheek and slides the panel over the mirror. I think my mother could be beautiful, in a different world. Her
body is thin beneath the gray robe. She has high
cheekbones and long eyelashes, and when she lets her
hair down at night, it hangs in waves over her shoulders.
But she must hide that beauty in Abnegation.
We walk together to the kitchen. On these mornings when
my brother makes breakfast, and my father's hand skims
my hair as he reads the newspaper, and my mother hums as she clears the table - it is on these mornings that I feel
guiltiest for wanting to leave them.

US considers 'sun blocking' to cool the Earth
It sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but some researchers want to cool the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. Sun blocking' technologies - also known as solar radiation modification (SRM) - could theoretically cool down the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space. One idea involves pumping sun-blocking particles into the upper atmosphere. This process of 'stratospheric aerosol injection' would involve planes spraying an aerosol like sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. This mist of particles would reflect the sun back upwards, shading the earth. The method has already worked - although accidentally. When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, it released thousands of tons of sulfur dioxide. The global temperature temporarily dropped by 0.5°C. In September 2022, researchers at Yale University argued that the injection method could hypothetically refreeze the poles.
A White House report published last Friday confirms that the US is open to researching SRM. "A programme of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component. of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation it says. However, the report also clarifies that no decision has been made to "establish a comprehensive research programme focused on solar radiation modification."
In February, several news outlets reported that the UN wanted to 'explore' this technique. This could give the impression that the organisation had approved sun blocking as a viablé tool to fight climate change. Unfortunately for tech enthusiasts, this is not the case. The UN Environmental Program's recent report into SRM concludes that it is not currently a realistic or wise plan. "UNEP concurs with the panel that, at present, large-scale, or operational deployment of SRM technologies is not necessary, viable, prudent or sufficiently safe, given the limited scientific understanding and uncertainty about the potential impacts and unintended consequences," says UNEP's Chief Scientist Andrea Hinwood. "The review concludes that SRM cannot replace reducing greenhouse gas emissions." Nonetheless, the body doesn't rule out the method altogether, with the report concluding that their assessment of the technique "may change should climate actions remain insufficient".

Fewer than 1 in 5 would give up their smartphone to
mitigate climate change, YAF poll found
According to a poll published on Aug. 13, 2023 from the
Young America's Foundation, two thirds of college
students believe climate change is a threat to their
generation, but fewer than one in five are willing to give up
their smartphones to heip, a recent poll found. More
college students would sacrifice having children and eating
meat before giving up their cellphones.
The poll, facilitated by Echelon Insights, asked 812 college
students in mid-July about a wide variety of topics,
including environmental issues. According to the poll, 86
percent believe climate change is happening, and nearly
two thirds, 67 percent, believe it is a threat for their
generation. But when asked what they are willing to give
up or significantly cut down on to "heip mitigate climate
change," only one in five - or 13 percent - chose their
smartphones.
Anthony Watts, senior fellow for environment and climate
at the Heartland Institute, said the results did not surprise
him. He said giving up a smartphone - "essentially a visual
stimulation drug" - is like trying to end a drug addiction, and
it isn't surprising that students are more willing to sacrifice
almost anything else.

Czech star gymnast dies after falling over 200 feet from
mountain while attempting to take selfie
By Scott Thompson - Fox News
Updated August 26, 2024
The Daily Mail reports that 23-year-old Natalie Stichova
was declared dead six days after falling 262 feet down
Tegelberg Mountain in Bavaria, Germany, on Aug. 15.
A friend of the gymnast told Czech media that Stichova
was trying to take a selfie when she fell. The person, who
wanted to remain anonymous, said Stichova was close to
the edge of the mountain when her foot appeared to slip
while setting up for a photo in front of the castle.
"We will never find out whether she slipped or whether a
piece of the rock edge broke off," the friend said, per the
Daily Mail.
Stichova was reportedly with her boyfriend, David, and two
friends ________ the time of the incident. Police said it was
a challenging climb to reach the gymnast after her fall.
Although Stichova was alive when first responders arrived,
she was suffering from severe injuries.
The Daily Mail reports Stichova's family took her off life
support due to irreversible brain damage ________ Aug. 21.
She died ________ 5:30 a.m. that day.

France to trial ban on mobile phones at school for children
under 15
Kim Willsher - Paris
Tue 27 Aug 2024
France is to trial a ban on mobile phones at school
pupils who are younger than 15, seeking to give children a
"digital pause" that, if judged successful, could be rolled
out nationwide from January.
Just under 200 secondary schools will take place in the
experiment that will require youngsters to hand over
phones on arrival at reception. It takes the prohibition on
the devices further than a 2018 law that banned pupils at
primary and secondary schools from using their phones on
the premises but allowed them to keep possession of
them.
Announcing the trial on Tuesday, the acting education
minister, Nicole Belloubet, said the aim was to give
youngsters a "digital pause". If the trial proves successful,
the ban would be introduced in all schools from January,
Belloubet said.
A commission set up by the president, Emmanuel Macron,
expressed concern that the overexposure of children to
screens was having a detrimental effect on their health and
development.
A 140-page report published in March concluded there was
"a very clear consensus on the direct and indirect negative
effects of digital devices on sleep, on being sedentary - a
lack of physical activity and the risk of being overweight
and even obese - as well as on sight". It said the "hyper"
use of phones and other digital technology was not only
bad for children but also for "society and civilisation".
The report recommended children's use of mobile phones
be controlled in stages: no mobile phones before the age
of at least 11, mobiles without internet access between 11
and 13, phones with internet but no access to social media
before 15.
It also suggested children under three years old should not
be exposed at all to digital devices, which it said were "not
necessary for the healthy development of the child".
"We must put the digital tool in its place. Up to at least six
years old a child has no need for a digital device to
develop," Servane Mouton, a neurologist and
neurophysiologist who was on the commission, said. "We
have to teach parents once again how to play with their
children."
Banning phones in schools has long been debated across
Europe. In countries where bans exist this is most often
confined to their use and do not require children to hand
them over.
In Germany there are no formal restrictions but most
schools have prohibited the use of mobile phones and
digital devices in classrooms except for education
purposes. A quasi ban has been in place in Dutch
secondary school classrooms since the beginning of this
year, but as a recommendation and not a legal obligation.
From this school year the directive will also apply to
primary schools.
Italy was early to phone bans, introducing one in 2007,
easing it in 2017 and reimposing it in 2022. It applies to all
age groups.
In February this year, the British government issued
guidance for schools "on prohibiting the use of mobile
phones throughout the school day" but said it was for
individual head teachers and leaders to decide on phone
use policy.
Portugal is experimenting with a compromise by
introducing a number of phone-free days at schools each
month, while in Spain schools in some autonomous
regions have imposed a ban but there is no nationwide
prohibition.
