FCT NOVA received, on March 15, the comedian and writer Ricardo Araújo Pereira. The invitation was endorsed within the scope of the Knowledge Discovery unit of Electrotechnical Engineering. In the session Ricardo Araújo Pereira looked at several themes from zero fees to the creative blockades.
In an almost informal conversation between laughter and applause, there was room for a debate on the state of education in Portugal and the importance of freedom of expression. RAP used the example of David Erwing, a Holocaust denialist, to demonstrate that although the historian's position is "obviously false", this is not why his voice should be silent, otherwise the right "you have to listen to stupid things. "
Ricardo Araújo Pereira also showed availability to return to FCT NOVA, one day, to record the TV program “Governo Sombra”, which is broadcasted on TVI24.
A recording of the comedian's intervention will soon be available at FCT NOVA here.
