Lighting A Fire In My Jotul 118

Education and Democracy. A battlefield

C ontinuing with Estanislao Zuleta thought I put the next bit of the book: Education and Democracy. A battlefield, Published by the Foundation that bears his name, based on an interview given to education and culture in Cali (Colombia):

To Zuleta is a complex and essential in education: Why education is not taught to think? "Education as it exists today, repress the thought, transmits data, expertise, knowledge and thought than others, but neither teaches nor suggests" and that this repression is associated with authoritarianism in relations between the who knows and who can not thrive and where all kinds of religious dogma, political, ideological, and of course, the dogmatism of learning.

The student acquires an "respect" for the teacher and the school should simply intimidation. The teacher often emphasized, "you know nothing"; "We have not reached that point," "will know or understand it later, while taking note", "this is so and so said people who know more you. "

The student is not recognized or respected as a thinker, and the child is a thinker. Freud's definition has to be repeated a thousand times: "The child is a researcher." If it is suppressed and put to repeat and learn things that interest you and do not investigate, that can not be called education.

confess that I personally do not serve as a paradigmatic example of a good student. I can not stand to the end, comes crawling up to the fourth high school and throw in the towel, I could not help.

To me education is a topic that fascinates me, I lived as a drama with my kids, some of which have been victims of this type of education. While the student and the teacher are convinced that there is one who knows and one who does not know, that you know will inform and enlighten the ignorant, without the other (student) has his own game, your own thoughts ¬ ment, their own concerns, education is a lost case.

One aspect of interest is the examination of the teaching of mathematics in high school. The student seemed that the teaching of mathematics was a clear issue. Passing algebra it feels a little strange. The impression I got was we started to do the same but with letters. What they never taught us and we created the concern was what it meant to think of mathematics.

taught mathematics to some extent, that its content was something that should accept, not because someone had said, but because it was susceptible of proof. That was something attractive in the world of the authority so widespread, which is not always visible and is the everyday reality of school.

one in school taught that two plus two equals four, less than nothing for most; the student can not understand or understand why, he just knows that if it does well and gets good grades. While you do not know why less than nothing for most, there is no approval process leading to this result, which shows that mathematics can also be a dogma, like religion or sacred history.

algebra that has the appeal to clear, reduce cir ¬, assimilate, and finally obtain X, for the majority becomes a nightmare because you never taught us, do not know if now is the same, an essential fact: that the Algebra is a way of thinking we have all the men.

Algebra no more than a formalized development of a thought that is our thinking. Discover the necessary relationships between terms ¬ cone acids, allows me to find unfamiliar terms, this is algebra. It's something that every day we are doing, when we go down the street, when we talked.

Teachers should tell students that algebra is the current mode of thinking is not just something that is on the board or on the problems of the text but that is in us and in reality.

the student may take five in algebra but then forget it, because not bound to further processing. You may remember it as des ¬, if you decide to study engineering or any other race, then we no longer need to understand, you only have to learn the formulas, the results, they may operate.

education creates a lack of communication. I have to get to know something, but that "something" is the result of a process that is not taught me. Know means then just repeat.

education and teachers did a disservice to us, saved us the trouble of thinking.

On War, that collective drunkenness

E Stanislao Zuleta is a character, a great thinker Colombia. Philosopher, writer, educator and psychologist. When I was in high school bathroom, left studies and devoted himself to study on your own. Since that time, he worked in the fields of Literature, History, Philosophy, Theory and Art, Social Sciences, was a student of Socrates and Plato thought, was passionate about Greek drama, poetry of Homer and the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides, was also interested in studying the rationalist philosophers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries XVII: Hegel, Kant, Descartes, Spinoza, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Deleuze, and others. In the field of literature his inclinations were toward Cervantes, Marcel Proust, Kafka, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Thomas Mann, Tolstoy, Edgar Alan Poe and Goethe.

I knew the thought of this character in college and has been very inspiring in a lot of my current thinking. I want to present this document based on his oratory entitled "On War, that collective drunkenness." There is a lot more of it to read and discuss. I also recommend "praise of difficulty" and "Education and democracy."

By Estanislao Zuleta *

This classic storyteller with "unjustly forgotten, but always ready to jump into this with his insight, Estanislao Zuleta, dissects the heart of human conflict and war. Page unforgettable

1. I think the most urgent when it comes to fight the war have no illusions about the nature and possibilities of this fight. Especially do not oppose the war, as they have so far almost all the trends peace, a kingdom of love and abundance, equality and homogeneity, social entropy. In reality, the idealization of the social in the name of God, reason or anything always leads to terror, as Dostoyevsky said, the whole formula is "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité ... de la mort." To fight the war with a remote possibility, but real success, it must begin by recognizing that conflict and hostility are phenomena as constituting the social bond, as interdependence itself, and that the notion of a harmonious society is a contradiction n in terms. The eradication of conflict and coexistence in a warm solution is not an attainable goal, or desirable, or personal life, in love and friendship, "or collective life. It should, however, build a social and legal space in which conflicts can be manifested and developed without opposition to another leads to the suppression of another, killing him, reducing it to impotence or silencing.

2. It is true that this, the overcoming of "antinomian contradictions" between the classes and relations of domination between nations is a very important step. But it is not enough and is too dangerous to believe that is enough. Because then it will inevitably reduce all the differences, opposition and confrontation to one difference, one opposition and a single confrontation, is trying to deny the internal conflicts and reduce them to an external conflict with the enemy, with another way: the other class, the other religion, the other nation, but this is the most intimate mechanism of war and the most effective, since it is the happiness generated by the war.

3. The various types of pacifism speak plenty of sorrows, misfortunes and tragedies of war and This is fine, but everyone knows "but often silent on this one look so shameful and so decisive, that is the happiness of the war. Because if the man wants to avoid the fate of the war must begin by confessing, serene and severely truth: the war party. Feast of the community at last united with the most intimate of ties, the individual finally dissolved in it and freed from their loneliness, their particularity and their interests, able to give everything, even his life. Party being able to pass without shadows or doubts regarding the evil enemy, foolishly believe to be right, and most foolishly believe we can still bear witness to the truth with our blood. If this does not take into account most wars seem bizarrely irrational, because everyone knows in advance the disproportion between the value of what is sought and the value of what you are willing to sacrifice. When Hamlet complains that his indecision in a company as seemingly clear before him, said: "While to my shame I see the immediate destruction of twenty thousand men, on a whim, on a barren glory go to the tomb and their beds , fighting for a cause that the multitude is incapable of understanding for a land that is not enough to bury so many bodies. " Who knows that this is often the case? I must say that the big words solemn: honor, country, principles, almost always serve to rationalize the desire to surrender to the collective drunkenness.

4. Governments know this, and to deny the dissension and internal difficulties imposed on their subjects by showing unity, as Hegel said, the figure of the absolute master, death. Put them to choose between solidarity and defeat. It is certainly sad death of the young Argentine and the pain of their relatives and the British and the boys of their own, but is perhaps more sad to see the momentary joy of the Argentine people united behind Galtieri and the English people united behind Margaret Thatcher.

5. If someone objected that the previous recognition of conflicts and differences, its inevitability and suitability, we would risk paralyze the decision and the enthusiasm in the fight for a fairer society, organized and rational, I would reply that to me a better society is a society capable of better conflict. To recognize and contain. To live not in spite of them, but productive and intelligently on them. That only people skeptical about the party of war, ripe for conflict, is a town ripe for peace.

* (Medellín 1935 - Cali 1990). One of Colombia's most important thinkers of the twentieth century. Response to a series of questions posed by Directorate of the Magazine "Kabbalah." The text published here is included in Praise of Difficulty and Other Essays Hombre Nuevo Publishers, Colombia.

Videogames


Although it may seem, I have a fondness for video games, I like a lot, now I do not spend much time playing, pe ro 've had my "times."


What I like to play?: I like Tomb Raider, I've played so Aniversary, but I have not finished yet. Like resident evil, I played all. Silent Hill, I've also played all the parts, from one through 4, but no extensions. I also Like Age of Empires, Age of mitology, Half life and of course the famous Halo.


to complete two years ago we bought the xbox 360 to my son, the fun was more complete because I went to the games online through Xbox Live. Not only shared with my son also did many other people in the world.

to fit in the world of online games, now I'm spooling with Shaiya, a line Aeriagames game that certainly is not the best, but the online experience is very good.


Many people, especially Christians do not support these games, because his words are "diabolical" evil that incite violence and lack of values. On this there is something to consider: Games Bring implied an age rating to play, but not the direct responsibility of the media or the government to enforce it. I believe that parents who must mediate these concepts, but is complicated when the amateur's own father. In my case, my son's play for a long time are part of my hobbies and he caught a little of this.

What is irrelevant is tick the diabolical or satanic video games. First, because no satan, Even the devil exist. Second, there is more violence on the news. Thirdly all video games are fiction and as such should be seen.

And to deny it: the action is best. Important as anything: "All excess is bad, then, not much, not too little. Spend 5 hours playing may not be good for health, play a reasonable time, not just good, is better. Some experts claim that video games are suitable as well for the development of memory, visual-motor coordination and intelligence. So how bad the game depends on how you look and who will look to try them.

Two beautiful poems, a great poet

P EEB 15 ... I like you calm as missing ...

I like you calm as absent,
and hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
seems that your eyes had flown
it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.

As all things are filled with my soul
from things, filled my soul.
butterfly of dream, you were my soul,
and I like the word melancholy

I like you calm and you seem far away.
you are a moaning, a butterfly cooing.
hear me from afar, and my voice does not reach you Let me come
your silence.

Let me talk to you with your silence
bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
are like the night, stillness and constellations.
Your silence is star, as remote and candid.

I like you calm as absent.
distant and painful as if you were dead.
A word then, one smile is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it's not true.

Poem 20 ... I can write the saddest lines tonight ...

I can write the saddest lines tonight. Write
, for example: "The night is starry
and shiver, blue stars in the distance."

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest lines tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like this I held my arms.
kissed her greatly under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
do not have loved her great still eyes.

I can write the saddest lines tonight.
think that I have not. Feel that I lost.

hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the verse falls to soul as dew to grass.

does it matter that my love could not keep.
The night is starry and she is not me.

That's it. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is lost without her.

as though to my eyes search.
My heart looks, and she is not me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, then, are no longer the same.

longer love her, true, but how I loved.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.

the other. Will be someone else. As before my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

longer love her, true, but maybe I love.
Love is so short and forgetting is so long.

Because on nights like this I held my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this is the last pain she causes me,
and these the last verses that I write.

Pablo Neruda (Chile)

God willing ... believer

E s common to hear some sentences about God totally meaningless. One of the most strikes me is this:

God willing ... . Wonder I: am going to go to work?. Christian Response: God willing I will be working. This means that the believer is totally lacking in autonomy, determination and choices, because it is waiting for a being X to do or accomplish something. Imagine that one would pay money to a Christian and he answered: "If God wants you to pay in 5 days" and one does not believe in such a god, you may think that "such talk was lost." "If God wants to see you tomorrow", this would be an absurd and almost ghostly appointment to meet, because I do not believer would be subject to a non-existent in terms of time and real space, but exists in the mind of the believer makes me an appointment . Ie "I will stay with curly facts "because that quote is not going to comply.

Now let this sentence: The believer has no desicion because their fate is governed by a being indecipherable, it must also think for a few million constantly repeating that crutch I think more about that. or maybe it really is people think that a god can not want them to eat lunch, bathing, working or studying?. Something strange is happening in the daily lives of believers.

could deduce that the basic needs are equally subject to this being, of course, if we are in His image and likeness. This is neither just to understand: the likeness of one who, perhaps he look in a mirror and saw as we think?. Perhaps this being is androgynous?. In short, I think in this I do not desgastaré.

What I find shocking is to listen to persons subject to this crutch, well believe what they say or many times without thinking about what they say, but the worst is having to rely on that phrase. Is an expectant and without knowing for certain whether to fulfill the promise of a believer. Deduct one believes that such person will comply, but that the "god" is not the wins that I meet such a believer. Moreover, as the believer knows that God does not or if you will, will you send an e-mail or message text or is it that is a virtual interface with the sky that says something like


"to petition God to send a message with the word FAST to 666 and get the answer to what God wants for you. " Message value: $ 500. Conditions and restrictions apply.

crutch or reality Poltergeist

S and said that a poltergeist is a spirit, usually mischievous, but sometimes also behaves maliciously, and that manifests itself by making noises, moving objects in place and assaulting people and animals.

His knowledge was massive because of the movie "Poltergeist," which they say is about a real fact of this phenomenon. The word "poltergeist" comes from the German poltern, "knock" and geist, "spirit." Some cases of poltergeists have been explained and may involve the presence of true minds.

poltergeist phenomena are more frequent showers of stones, dust and other small objects, release and transport of objects (including heavy furniture), loud noises, screams, strange lights, apparitions and smells foul. Poltergeists have adapted to technological development and are capable of interfering phones and other electronic equipment, and on and turning off lights and other electrical appliances. It is said that some poltergeists pinch, bite, hit and even sexually assault people who experience them.

poltergeist activity usually starts and ends abruptly. A typical episode can last from several hours to several months, and even some reported that lasted for several years. The activity occurs mostly at night, when someone is present, usually an "agent", which is the person who seems to serve as a focus or magnet for the activity. The agent is a factor in most cases, both of which seem paranormal than can be caused by human PK. The agents are almost always women under twenty years.

Until here everything seems to be the story of a science fiction movie, but says the psychology of this?.

As always, there is a valid explanation, reasonable and scientific : Investigations of William Roll, project director of the Psychical Research Foundation in Durham, North Carolina, have corroborated the theory of psychological dysfunction. In the '60s, began studying Roll written reports on 116 cases of poltergeists that occurred over four centuries and over a hundred countries, and could identify the repetition of what he called "recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis" (PKer), which are spontaneous and understandable material effects. He also found that the most common agent was a child or adolescent whose involuntary I'K was a way of expressing hostility without fear of punishment. The person is usually unaware that was the cause of the riots, but secretly or openly rejoiced in them.

Other researchers have found that agents are often in poor physical or mental health and therefore are vulnerable to stress. Patients with unresolved emotional tensions have been associated with houses where poltergeist disturbances occurred. When studying the personalities of the actors, psychologists have found anxiety reactions, conversion hysteria, phobias, obsessions, obsessions, dissociative reactions, and schizophrenia. In some cases, psychotherapy takes away the poltergeist phenomena.
