Which Came First - The Chicken or the Egg?

You know you’ve always wondered. Impress your friends with this scientific proof and maybe settle the debate once and for all! Or maybe not . . ?

Knowing Knowledge
My math teacher always used to say that there are three types of knowledge: what you know, what you know you don’t know, and what you don’t know you don’t know. That sounds mind-bending, but basically, “knowing that you don’t know” means that you’re aware that there’s a particular chunk of knowledge that you’re missing, but “not knowing that you don’t know” means that you’re completely oblivious that this chunk of knowledge even exists. For example, you might know that you don’t know calculus, and yet you’re aware that it exists—while some people are completely unaware that it’s even a thing, so they have no idea that there’s a gap in their mathematical knowledge. I like this perspective much better than the black-and-white idea that either know something or you don’t, and it’s why I never ridicule someone if they’re ignorant about something, even if it’s incredibly obvious to me. It’s also why I believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question—the very act of asking shows that you’re aware that you’re missing that information, and you’re consciously making the effort to fill the gap. Everyone has thousands of these knowledge gaps, but yours will never exactly match up with someone else’s. Everyone you meet will know something that you don’t. So when someone asks you a question, take it as an opportunity to expand their knowledge, and never laugh—or they’ll turn around and school you.

Callar y Escuchar

Muchas veces hablar de política es en realidad hablar con quienes están de acuerdo contigo, mirar al otro y darse palmadas en la espalda mientras las ideas se van radicalizando  “estado de sitio” “matarlos a todos…”. Nadie dice nada en realidad, todos siguen el pacto implícito de decirle al otro que está bien, porque a fin de cuentas decirle que está bien es reafirmarte a ti mismo, porque de esta forma parece como si discutieras y pensaras. Y cuando tu estás ahí, y eres la única posibilidad de introducir perturbación en ese sistema cristalizado, optas por callar y escuchar, tratar de aprender para que ojala en el futuro te alcance el coraje y puedas decir algo.

Silencio.

el setting: carrete en un campo, todos con copas en la mano y también en el cuerpo. el tema? un clásico: Política. El líder del bando de derecha arremetía contra uno de los jóvenes comunachos: “a tí desde chico que te han lavado el cerebro hueon!, yo he leído weon en cambio tu eres puro wikipedia…a ver hueon dime de que partido son tus viejos!” A lo que el joven responde: “de derecha”.

Silencio. 

Una véz

Una vez publiqué una opinión en twitter por la que fui reprochado. La persona a la que aquella opinión iba dirigida fue una de las que menos me reprochó, fueron quienes estaban involucrados (aquellos que se podían identificar con la persona  que critiqué) quienes más me alegaron, pero era un alegato en forma de defensa con frases como “que eres grave tu…” “lo que en verdad quiso decir fue…” “tu lo sacaste de un contexto privado, obvio que a cualquiera de afuera que lo lee desde afuera le suena feo…”. hasta el día de hoy me pregunto qué tan hondo habrá calado mi opinión dentro de ellos, si el revuelo causado era realmente por lo desubicado de lo que dije o porque sin saberlo llegue a tocar una fibra sensible.

Me pregunto si también van a leer esto.

Me gusta

Me gusta escribir textos en tumblr, me gusta la sensación de tumblr, sin compromiso de escribir…puedo subir fotos. nos necesario un tono, a diferencia de los antiguos blogs que demandaban un estilo más rígido (y que estaban más llenos de disculpas a los lectores por no escribir más). Tumblr puede ser humor y seriedad.
Pero al final todo da lo mismo porque nadie lee estas cosas.
Esconder las cosas a plena luz del día es algo que relaja. 

watchmen…

The illustrations you see above are from a a series entitled “Philographics,” and were created by London-based graphic designer Genís Carreras. Using basic colors, simple geometric design, and concise definitions, Carreras manages to cram impressive amounts of information - on philosophical doctrines as diverse as hedonism, determinism, and existentialism - into a surprisingly simple and accessible package.

You’ll find the series in its entirety, along with plenty more examples of Carreras’ work, over on his website
