of the "facts" and arguments that arise. Modern Utopias

" fleas from a boat before it, the celebrated experimentalist Van Dulmoholtz takes a carefully tears off his hind legs and gently commands him to jump aloud. Note that the flea does not move and makes to try another. When the fleas are gone from the boat, makes its statistical and satisfied concludes that fleas have heard in the hind legs " (John Allen Paulos," The man aNumber "Tusquets, Metatemas 20, Barcelona, 1990, pg. 111)
Obviously the "experimentalist famous" does not exist and this is a joke, but he uses very well the author to explain failures in reasoning " Refuting the assertion that something exists is often very difficult. And it often makes this difficult to prove that the statement is true " (ibid. 112).
fallacies An example of the sort that might be in finding the existence of gnomes and other fantastic beings on the grounds that can not prove that there are no .
knew the joke of the principle in another version: An experimenter, very sure that the facts "speak for themselves ", took a roach, put it on one end of the table and from the opposite began to call softly "Come cockroach, come, come ..." and indeed the creature moved toward him. Our investigator noted neatly scrolling speed. Then I took a leg, placed it in the same place and call again. The cockroach came, but clearly, more slowly. Re-register the new data. And he did until he started the six (experiment obviously took a lot because the poor insect with two, and I say to one, zigzagged like a drunk). Once without his legs, returned to call ... despite their claims the poor animal did not move there. So our research also showed the new fact.
With all the data in hand, and then think carefully about them, reached the following conclusion (which considered unassailable): The speed of an insect is directly proportional to the number of legs. And when they disappear, it becomes deaf.
already know, then, that the facts speak for themselves :-)

Leo in, for various reasons excellent book that I recently discovered, the author John Gray, "Misa Negra" (Polity Press, Bcn , 2008), this thoughtful reflection:
"For the utopian mind, defects in any society are known not symptoms of the defects of human nature , but marks of a universal repression, however, soon will come to an end. The storys is a nightmare from which we awaken, and when we do, we realize that human possibilities are endless . Calling the utopian projects of simple exercises bad policy decision ignores its true nature. It is, rather, products of a particular worldview that, once, the only ancontraba religious sects and revolutionary, but, over time, strongly rooted in Western governments: the belief that political action may cause a change in human behavior " (op. cit. pp.37-38)
mentality utopian, which stands at a more or less distant future, after painful reached epic efforts, a state of happiness or radical improvement of our living conditions, it is common to religion and politics. But many do not realize this relationship and believe that the basic dividing line passes "where" that paradise lies intended: whether it is in "heaven", in another life after death ... is religion, but if heaven is on earth, in this life, then it is political. Utopia
actually grows stronger in some situations of radical change, where everything seems possible. Our era is one of them, and often dressing except in the case of the Islamists, Jews and Christians radical neocon with political habits (paradoxical situation by the way).

Enrico Malatesta (cited)

"The hatred of the repression, the desire to be free and able to express your own personality in all its magnitude is not enough to make someone an anarchist. The desire for unrestricted freedom, if not accompanied by love men and desire that all others enjoy equal freedom, can rebel, but not enough to give anarchists rebels that if they just force immediately become exploiters and tyrants. "

Gumption. Something to keep in mind

This word (as Jonathan Rowson, GM chess champion GB) is: " an old Scottish word different meanings "(1), and its meaning is important.

Answers online dictionary, translates to 1. boldness in an enterprise, initiative, aggressiveness. 2. (have) Guts, guts. 3. Common Sense. http://www.answers.com/topic/gumption

Others, like Webster, also coincide: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gumption

From which it shows that this word indicates both an emotional quality, boldness, initiative, as an intellectual, common sense (which according to some is the least common of the senses).

Rowson, quoted in the book, provides new nuances to the term " The clearest definition I have found comes from Guy Claxton (1984) ' Gumption is the ability to stay smart in front of frustration. It means being able to review and reassess the new situation in order to find ways to get the desired result, other than that it has not worked (...) The gumption traps are so powerful because they are more than disappointing, are disqualifying. Suddenly, I am exposed to be less than you expect or believe to be. less competent, less skilled, less powerful, less the situation control '.

In this sense, gumption mean elasticity and resistance, not surrender. But more than that. Means being interested in the task at hand, but it is not developing as we would " (Ibid)

One of the first authors to use the term" gumption traps "(or perhaps the first ) was Robert Pirsig, in his famous book " Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" , which still has the first English edition (Editorial Noguer, Barcelona, \u200b\u200b1978), who in chapter 26 he writes: " During the process of adjusting the equipment, provided things come, things of low quality, from a dusty fist [poor translation I think. It probably refers to the handlebars of the motorcycle extremely dusty road] to a set "irreplaceable" accidentally damaged. This brain drain [translation otherwise problematic. For "brain" refers to "gumption", perhaps in the sense of wisdom or common sense] destroys the excitement and leaves you so discouraged that you want to forget the whole thing. I call these things 'brain traps' " (2) Keep writing

Pirsig that millions of our gumption traps where can shipwrecked and each time discover a new one. This, he says, gives great attention to the question.

agree with Pirsig that the gumption is an important issue, and among the difficulties in studying the issue is to find a translation for this word. "Perseverance" could be, but it covers, "enthusiasm" as well, but is very limited, "wisdom" is too passive, and "aggressiveness" connotes things that have nothing to do with gumption, also excludes the flexibility and the ability to grasp the situation intelligently. "Brains", the option chosen by Esteban Riambau (the translator of the 1st. English edition of the book Pirsig), it seems downright bad, even diagonally on its approximate meaning.

Provisionally gumption the left untranslated. More important thing is to reflect on this ability that some people have an innate and that I have hope, any mortal can develop a little if he meditates on it.

use of resources not available


We have resources at our disposal, but mostly ignorance and lack of imagination leaves the side, unused. An example of what I say is the use of chess to educate react after reflection and not immediately. Edward Bond writes:

"... the violent youth who are taught to think became less violent because they were not to immediately resort to a cliche violent reactive."

consequences that do not work experience opportunity cost

I have kept an appointment on personal experience, which reads:

"The experience: You do not learn from it. Because the most important consequences of the acts occur in another system and eventually return to create the same problems that are attributed to the actions of others. " (senge. 69)

is in a language too technical perhaps, but the meaning is not well understood, we take the work of translating it (in my words)

"Men in certain circumstances do not learn experience because experiencing consequences (of their actions) occur in other areas away from the initial facts. And therefore the cause and effect have no clear link.

"The opportunity cost of doing something is the value of everything to what he has to resign to do " (1)

The author illustrates the choice between going to a concert with a ticket given away or go to a concert that also concerned with how to calculate ticket purchased if it's worth going to first? (2)

is an elementary concept of economics, and key, and yet is poorly understood. Helps explain, in other cases, because people are more impatient and unkind to answer a question on the street in a city economically active, compared with the response that often results in a small rural village.

activities are left to the answer carefully explains the difference. Where there are many activities to do, the opportunity cost is higher. Where there is little to do, the opportunity cost is lower and therefore people take all the time in the world to give an explanation to the satisfaction of clueless. Or in other words, when there is nothing urgent to do, everything can be done more quietly !

(2) If the 2 nd concert costs $ 40 and you're willing to pay up to 50 $ (or whatever it is the same: if it costs more than 50 you would not anyway). And if the first costs, should pay the entrance fee, $ 10 then worth going to the first (assuming of course that an economic value at $ 10, or whether he was willing to pay up to $ 10 by going to the concert). The key is that 50-10 = 40 is the value of foregone and is equal to the price of the latter.

Fundamentalism and Western culture. Quotes to remember

"Fundamentalism does not speak of religion, is only interested in religion today, and also promotes a kind of religion, faith, that has nothing to do with culture and has nothing to do with theology. There you see fundamentalism as the importation of Middle Eastern culture, but rather, as a consequence of globalization and Westernization of Islam. And this can not be understood, these religious radicalization, if we see that instead of expressing culture clashes of cultures expressing crisis. Collect principles that have been the beginning of the revolutionary socialist and anarchist movements of the nineteenth century. What can we do with the radicals? I would say nothing, because once again, when these young people become radicalized can do nothing, are fully broken and can not do anything with them "

The above text is in a Olivier Roy pronounced conference in Madrid. It is provocative yet sensible assertions. Perhaps more to look at those who react in an irresponsible way we should look best in what happens to our culture and ideals. It is possible that our crisis is showing, reflected and distorted in its radical proposals.
