The house of being - La casa del ser

"Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells. Those who think and those who create with words are the guardians of this home. Their guardianship accomplishes the manifestation of Being insofar as they bring the manifestation to language and maintain it in language through their speech." Heidegger (1947). Letter on Humanism.

The obscurity of irrationality - La sombra de la irracionalidad

“Two ways of thinking can be distinguished. The accurate way, based on causality and explanation, recognizes its ignorance on many items, but tries to organize and foster its knowledge on a solid basis. The innacurate way, based on indeterminacy, chance and free will, assumes with resignation there are segments of reality which cannot be known at all and does not try to go further on those items. Moral and legal discourses run the second way. That assumption tends to prevent them from fostering knowledge and leads normative sciences to irrationality and perplexity.” Ricardo A Guibourg (2001)

Anger and contempt sunrise - Amanecer de ira

“Anger is characterized more by short-term attack responses but long-term reconciliation, whereas contempt is characterized by rejection and social exclusion of the other person, both in the short-term and in the long-term. The authors also found that contempt may develop out of previously experienced anger and that a lack of intimacy with and perceived control over the behavior of the other person, as well as negative dispositional attributions about the other person, predicted the emergence of contempt.” Fischer, Agneta H.; Roseman, Ira J. Beat them or ban them: The characteristics and social functions of anger and contempt.Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 2007 Jul Vol 93(1) 103-115.

A diferent experience - Una experiencia diferente

“Apple's Leopard arrives in San Francisco: … hundreds of people lined up on Stockton Street on Friday outside the San Francisco Apple store to get their hands on Mac OS X Leopard, the newest version of Apple's operating system … I'm pretty sure you'll be able to walk into any Apple store later tonight or tomorrow and pick up a copy without a wait. But line-waiters seem determined to be part of something, to have an actual experience associated with their upgrades that's a little more interesting than signing for the package.

Bengt's world - El mundo de Bengt

There is beauty in the pursuit of truth and in the life experience of being useful and change the world for the better, bravely questioning the underlying pillars of human society and behavior. Everything that inspires scientific inquire towards a better environment is also beautiful. Life becomes by itself a collection of networks making sense to Faulkners’ phrase “that man will not merely endure: he will prevail.”

Light in the dark - Luz en la oscuridad

Darken spaces and places are also full of sensually coloured light. Light is a relative and subjective concept that involves some degrees of darkness, interior and external, combined in a perennial essence.

Los sitios y espacios oscuros están también llenos de luz sensualmente coloreada. La luz es un concepto relativo y subjetivo que contiene diversos grados de oscuridad, interior y exterior, que se combinan en una esencia perenne.

Human in dust - Humano en polvo

The human expression appears out the dust, in a window of desired opportunity, trying to find a way of realization behind the bars defined by unjust trade and appalling external conditions.

La expresión humana aparece del polvo, en una ventana de oportunidad deseada, tratando de encontrar el camino a la realización detrás de los barrotes definidos por el injusto comercio y las horrendas condiciones externas.

Impulsive behaviour - Comportamiento impulsivo

The muscle leading to impulsivity relies in the arm tentacle linked to the human eye and the principal neuron. Impulse is fresh and nature, but can also have a complicated role in the structure of human decision-making.

El músculo de la impulsividad se apoya en el tentáculo brazal ligado al ojo humano y a la neurona principal. El impulso es fresco y natural, pero puede también parecer tener un papel complicado en el proceso de decisión.

Kiss to nature

Nature can be kissed and can be loved, and nature can be forgotten and can be regretted. Whenever humans incorporate nature in decision process, they get intermingle with it in a confounding process defined by squared micro-centres.

Lo natural puede ser besado y amado, y puede también ser olvidado y echado de menos. Siempre que los humanos incorporen a la naturaleza en sus procesos de decisión, se entremezclan con ella en un proceso confuso definido por pequeños centros cuadrados.

Climate change and peace - Clima y paz

The prize for climate and the prize for peace become connected from the slight relationships between the reddish rainbow and the upsetting stance of war states.

El premio del clima y el premio de la paz se conectan por las tenues relaciones entre el rojizo arcoiris y la situación devastadora de los estados de guerra.

Projection of an environmental disaster - Proyeccion de un desastre ambiental

From the surface to the highest altitude, a sound projection is perceived by the observer spectator in the prolongation of planes on mirrors of the self. Simple and basic, the observer character confounds the greens with the reds in the projection of the real outcome.

Desde la superficie hasta la mayor altitud, una proyección interesante se percibe por el expectante observador en la prolongación de los planos en los espejos del ser. Simple y básico, el carácter observante confunde los verdes con los rojos en la proyección del resultado verdadero.

Value learning - Aprendizaje del valor

“In 3 experiments, the authors investigated learning of the value of money from product prices in an unfamiliar currency when the prices are proportional to quantity … stochastic price variation causes systematic errors in the learning of unit prices from quantity-price pairs ...” Gärling, T. et al. Learning the Value of Money From Stochastically Varying Prices. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied. 2007 Mar Vol 13(1) 1-10.

“… los autores investigan el aprendizaje del valor del dinero de los precios de los productos en una moneda no familiar cuando los precios son proporcionales a la cantidad … la variación estocástica del precio causa errores sistemáticos en el aprendizaje de los precios unitarios de los pares de cantidad-precio …”

Game and risk - juego y riesgo

“Research has consistently shown that aggressive video console and PC games elicit aggressive cognitions, affect, and behaviors … men who played a racing game subsequently took higher risks in computer-simulated critical road traffic situations than did men who played a neutral game.” Fischer, P. et al. Virtual Driving and Risk Taking: Do Racing Games Increase Risk-Taking Cognitions, Affect, and Behaviors? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied. 2007 Mar Vol 13(1) 22-31.
“La investigación ha mostrado consistentemente que las video consolas agresivas afloran comportamientos y actitudes agresivas …los que jugaron un juego de carreras tomaron después riesgos mayores en una situación de tráfico simulada por ordenador que los que habían jugado un juego normal”

Strong convictions - Convicciones fuertes

Las convicciones se mueven en ondas ligeras y suaves, de forma similar a cualquier otra idea y moda. Pero las convicciones fuertes son más inamovibles, y pueden basarse en bloques rocosos sólidos, inmóviles ante las tormentosas ondas y el arte de la percepción, para cualquier razón.

Convictions move in soft and slight waves, similarly to any other ideas and fashions. But strong convictions are more difficult to move, and might be based on solid rock blocks, unmovable to wave storms and the art of persuasion, whatever its reason.

Mistic reflection - Misticismo

Concentrated in the dark tunnels of the interior experience appears to be a world of contrasts and reflections, based on past acts and future intentions. The illusion of a better being is always present but can be superseded by the omnipresent market mechanism and the need to trade with spiritual matters.

Concentrado en los túneles oscuros de la experiencia interior parece existir un mundo de contrastes y reflexiones, con base en actos pasados e intenciones futuras. La ilusión de un ser mejor está siempre presente, pero puede sobrepasarse por el omnipresente mecanismo de mercado, y la necesidad de comerciar con los aspectos espirituales.
