Ex nihilo nihil fit

Let's talk about nothing

Quien no sabe decir de mí sino que soy ateo, no sabe nada de mí. La cuestión de si dios existe o no, la contraposición de teísmo y ateísmo pertenece a los siglos XVII y XVIII, pero no al XIX. Yo niego a dios. Esto quiere decir en mi caso: yo niego la negación del hombre. En vez de una posición ilusória, fantástica, celestial del hombre, que en la vida se convierte necesariamente en negación del hombre, yo propugno la posición sensible, real y, por tanto, necesariamente política y social del hombre. La cuestión sobre el ser o no ser de dios es en mi caso unicamente la cuéstion sobre el ser o no ser del hombre.

Ludwig Feuerbach
1804 - 1872

A Modest Proposal

For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.

These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes. I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present dep...

Your mobile always rings (or so you hope)

One message flashes on the screen in hot pursuit of another. Your fingers are always busy: you squeeze the keys, calling new numbers to answer the calls or composing messages of your own. You stay connected – even though you are constantly on the move, and though the invisible senders and recipients of calls and messages move as well, all following their own trajectories. Mobiles are for people on the move. You never leave your mobile out of sight. Your jogging gear has a special pocket for your mobile, and you would not go out with that pocket empty just as you would not go running without your training shoes. As a matter of fact, you would go nowhere without your mobile (’nowhere’ is, indeed, the space without a mobile, with a mobile out of range, or a mobile with a flat battery). And once with your mobile, you are never out or away. You are always in – but never locked up in one place. Cocooned in a web of calls and messages, you are invulnerable. Those around you cannot blackball y...

Brasil: colônia fascista

O brasileiro necessita de uma grande morte coletiva para jogar fora tudo o que o nazifascismo deixou no coração enferrujado, no coração recheado de deus, no coração coagulado de sangue seco e intoxicado, covardia e preguiça.
