Párrafo para el Impío


..."El espíritu del hombre es prueba del Espíritu de Dios, como una gota de agua es prueba de la fuente de donde procede. Si a un hombre que nunca haya visto agua, le decís que existe el océano, deberá creerlo por la fe o rechazarlo por completo. Pero dejad que caiga una gota de agua en su mano, y ya tendrá un hecho, del cual infiera lo demás, y podrá luego comprender poco a poco la existencia de un océano ilimitado é insondable. La fe ciega dejará de ser una necesidad para él, pues la habrá substituido con el CONOCIMIENTO..."

El Papa Francisco toma las riendas de una iglesia desorientada

E l pensamiento dicotómico puede afectar la idea que tenemos sobre un tema en general. La apreciación de varias organizaciones son susceptibles a esa problemática.  La Iglesia Católica ha venido siendo acusada de abundantes crímenes que mellaron su imagen, cambiando la idea del colectivo sobre el clero hacia el otro lado de la balanza; han concluído que es peligrosa para la sociedad.  Este grave error del pensamiento basado solo en extremismos no se encuentra acorde a la realidad. La matemática, cuyo lenguaje puede ayudarnos a intuir el Orbe, desde sus conceptos simples demuestra que el límite es nada comparado a la basta extensión existente. Galileo Galilei por ello dijo alguna vez "Las matemáticas son el lenguaje en el que Dios escribió el universo". Entonces, como cualquier organización, cualquier religión puede ser afectada producto de errores de sus gobernantes; incluso esos desaciertos pueden terminar cambiando el curso deseado prolongados intervalos de tie

Approach to knowledge building through debate during the age of information

Image
Some thoughts about debating ideas in modern societies: In these days in which general information is becoming a commodity, the activity of discussing an idea within any context will only become a productive and enjoyable experience the day that we will re-learn and apply the old concepts about knowledge. In the Nicomachean Ethics, for example, Aristotle (384 /322) proposed three approaches to knowledge: The first one was coined as "Episteme" related to scientific knowledge and analytical rationality, which later derived in Epistemology, the study of knowledge. The second was defined as "Techné" which represents practical rationality or the craft developed by humans. This type of knowledge is pragmatic, variable and context-dependent. Nowadays is known as technique. The third one was called "Phronesis," a type of knowledge driven by human values, such as ethics and morality. In our days is known as subjective reasoning; the opinion of an indi

We all die in doubt

We all die in doubt, or at least, that's how it should be. The truth is not a static state; it's more like a path that we should embrace our whole life. We are in a continuous movement; and sometimes, when you seek the truth, you may become what you used to hate or fear, or even more, the notion of what is evil and what is not can change.  On this dynamic movement, I became what I used to fear.  Where am I now? What do I think?  Now, I appreciate the beauty of human systems. I've been able to cry in the Parthenon of pain seeing the pinnacle of a society destroyed, but also with joy seeing the beauty of places in the new Babylon. Beauty is not created in a day; humans aim to perfection when they build through generations.  I became a builder too. I believe that collective effort is the path of the light. Systems also should fail, they fail when they have to. Light and Darkness dance in a continuous movement and I am a builder not because I believe
