Analfabetismo político

2007-07-22T09:55:00.001-07:00

El peor analfabeto es el analfabeto político.
No oye, no habla, no participa de los acontecimientos políticos. No
sabe que el costo de la vida, el precio de los frijoles, del pan, de la harina,
del vestido, del zapato y de los remedios, dependen de decisiones
políticas. El analfabeto político es tan burro que se enorgullece y
ensancha el pecho diciendo que odia la política. No sabe que de su
ignorancia política nace la prostituta, el menor abandonado y el peor
de todos los bandidos que es el político corrupto, mequetrefe y lacayo
de las empresas nacionales y multinacionales.

(...)las innovaciones emergen en un proceso iterativo donde los componente clave son la comunicación, el aprendizaje y la interacción social. Y no hay tu tía.

Confirma esta tendencia la multiplicación de focus groups, el estudio de usuarios líderes, el uso de la exploración activa y la experimentación y la creación de redes para mejorar el diseño de productos que acompaña crecientemente su despliegue.

Para explicar la relatividad, Einstein daba el ejemplo de
los trenes. Si usted esta en un tren detenido en una
estacion, al lado de otro, cuando uno de ellos avanza
usted no puede saber si esta en el tren detenido o en el
que circula. Por que? Porque no tiene ningun punto fijo
que le sirva de referencia. Sin eso, estamos perdidos. Un
buen periodico es aquel que sirve de punto fijo a los
ciudadanos.

"Me aparté de la filosofía en el momento en que se me hizo imposible descubrir en Kant ninguna debilidad humana, ningún acento de verdadera tristeza; ni en Kant ni en ninguno de los demás filósofos. Frente a la música, la mística y la poesía, la actividad filosófica proviene de una sabia disminuida y de una profundidad sospechosa, que no guarda prestigios más que para los tímidos y tibios. Por otra parte, la filosofía -inquietud impersonal, refugio junto a ideas anémicas- es el recurso de los que esquivan la exuberancia corruptora de la vida. Poco más o menos todos los filósofos han acabado bien: es el argumento supremo contra la filosofía. El fin del mismo Sócrates no tiene nada de trágico: es un malentendido, el fin de un pedagogo, y si Nietzsche se hundió fue como poeta y visionario; expió sus éxtasis y no sus razonamientos.
