He cogido esto empezado, hacedme un resumen

Libros, Links enciclopedia, mundo, wikipedia Add Comment (3)

La Wikipedia tiene una página en cada idioma con una lista de los (aproximadamente) 1000 artículos que se consideran esenciales para una Wikipedia en su papel de enciclopedia. Está la “Lista de artículos que toda Wikipedia debería tener” de la española, pero aquí recojo los términos de la inglesa (también hay una un poco mayor, de 2000).

Estos artículos están ordenados por temas en la página original, pero aquí los quiero de otra forma: en orden alfabético. Por dos tipos de razones:

• Es eufónico, estético y se puede observar el avance con el paso de las letras.
• Es un orden bastante blanco (en el sentido del ruido), es decir, la correlación semántica entre dos ítems cercanos es infrecuente; dicho de otra forma, resulta un orden razonablemente independiente y arbitrario a ojos de sus significados (a pesar de que los Eco-, los Con- y Com-, los History vayan seguidos).

Lo quiero en este orden porque así, desordenada, es como la información impacta a los sentidos. Uno no puede decirse “hoy solo estaré en contacto con conceptos de Bioquímica, y mañana con Historia Antigua”, porque en la vida diaria el sándwich mixto da paso a la psicología de grupos y a la literatura victoriana. Esto es, de hecho, lo que nos permite establecer paralelismos insospechados entre materias que parecían disjuntas. Hallar patrones. Hilar historias. Eso también se observa en la lista, porque el azar alfabético habrá dado grupos sugerentes. Por ejemplo: “Black Death. Blaise Pascal. Bleeding. Blindness” (he tenido que comprobarlo: no, Pascal no murió así); “International Space Station. International System of Units. Internet. Ion. Iran” (suena a la próxima de James Bond); “Galaxy. Galileo Galilei. Gambling” (bonito); “Kinetics. Knife. Knowledge” (parece el Manifiesto Futurista).

Si lees esta lista de principio a fin quizá te hagas una idea de lo somos y lo que nos preocupa. Por ponernos en situación: “Hola, acabo de llegar a este lugar, me he perdido esto que llamáis Universo y Humanidad, ¿hay algo que deba saber? ¿Me pasáis unos links? Gracias.”
