Informazioni su questo libro

"The Measured Mind – The bumps on the skull that justified slavery" investigates the dark history of Phrenology. In the 19th century, it was considered a cutting-edge science to read a person's character and intelligence by feeling the bumps on their head. This wasn't just a parlor trick; it was used to decide marriage partners, hire employees, and sentencing criminals. Author Julian Bone traces how Phrenology was weaponized to "prove" the inferiority of non-white races and the poor. It gave a scientific veneer to racism and classism, justifying colonialism and slavery. The book details the rise and fall of this pseudoscience and how its legacy persists in modern algorithmic bias. "The Measured Mind" is a warning about how science can be twisted to serve ideology. It shows how smart people can believe in nonsense if it confirms their prejudices, reminding us to question the "objective" metrics we use to judge human worth today.
