Una excelente manera de conocerlos es viendo este cortometraje titulado "Rebel with a cause" o bien "Rebelde con causa", parafraseando irónicamente la famosa película de James Dean. Está en inglés.

En el corto te explican todo el viaje que realiza una simple camiseta o T-Shirt, desde su fabricación, pasando por tí hasta su destino final, enfatizando el impacto de este proceso en el medioambiente y las distintas sociedades que se ven involucradas en él. Es verdaderamente interesante y sintético. Estupenda gráfica, animación y música.

You have to forgive yourself first of all, because you were dominated by the wild part of your conscience, which is very violent and cruel. You could not control your behavior—your thoughts were not really yours. It was not your fault. You are only an animal and you have no idea of how your mind works. You have no idea how much the anti-conscience (your primitive, wild conscience that didn’t pass through the process of consciousness and is totally absurd) influences your behavior and your decisions. You are too ignorant.

After forgiving yourself for your very serious mistakes, you will need to think about how you can correct them. Of course, most serious mistakes cannot be corrected. We wish we could go back in time and simply correct what happened, but often there is no possible correction.

However, you have to think that life goes on, that everything continues, and that you have to continue too, which can give miraculous solutions to what seemingly cannot be solved.

Think. What could you do for the person or the people that you hurt? How could you compensate them for all the damage you caused?

First of all, if there is money involved in the case, you have to pay for the damages without resistance and without delay.

If the problem is even worse because it cannot be solved with money, give money anyway. Even though it means nothing, it’s a sign that you recognize your fault. Give money, especially if you have a lot. Throw money on the table, saying that you know very well that you cannot pay for all the damages you caused even with all the money in the world, but that you are giving it because you know the people you hurt have many needs. You want to do something to somehow compensate them for what cannot be forgiven.

If money would be considered an insult because your mistake was very serious, give a present to your enemies. Do something practical and give them something substantial, always with the same spirit of regret.

Recognize your faults. Admit you were an irrational animal and that you cannot understand how you could be so irresponsible. Blame yourself for everything, without defending yourself at any point.

When you apologize, you are not going to mention that your wild side or other people influenced you. You are not going to blame someone else for what happened. You are going to assume that you are the worse sinner on this planet, without excuses.

This way your enemies will abandon their weapons, because they won’t have to attack you and tell you how wrong you were—you are telling them that, before they can start complaining.

You must exaggerate. If you did only one thing wrong, start blaming yourself for other problems that happened because of your actions. Look for ways to blame yourself for all the horrors of this world, showing to your enemies that you are really devastated because you made this terrible mistake—so devastated that you feel like the worse murderer in human history.

You must be sincere. If you simply pretend you’re sorry, your enemies will notice it.

There is a special facial expression a human being takes when he or she is really sorry. You cannot be an actor.

So, when you talk about how horrible you feel, even if you cannot feel bad at that moment, think about how horrible the situation is and how bad it will be if you fail again and ask for forgiveness. Think about sad things that will make you feel very sad when you show your regret.

If your enemies won’t forgive you, they will be the monsters.

You will become a big hero who had the courage to recognize your mistakes and assume responsibility for them.

And your enemies will forgive you, even if they don’t do so immediately.

Over the next few days, watch this space for the products of creative documentarians like video artist Mark McKay, photographer Yvonne Bambrick, and new-style cartoonists Jesse and Ba from Bitstrips. They were all on the scene capturing the fun, and we can’t wait to see the results.

Thanks to them, as well as to our generous sponsors and gracious volunteer collaborators - the party just wouldn’t have been the same without them: The Gladstone, She Takes the Cake, Steam Whistle, Crumpler Canada, Media Lab Toronto, Spacing, Gary and Mark from These Electric Lives, Fred’s not Here, Utopia, and Pantry. And a thousand thanks to all the staff at the Gladstone who were stand-out amazing, as well as to all the volunteers who helped keep things running smoothly.

We hope you had a great time too! And we hope to do it again sometime. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for making our site, and this city, so great.

Here are some of the first photos of the night, courtesy of Nikola Filipovic.

You only have to write down your dreams. Write them down and wait. When you have around 5 dreams in your notebook or PC file, you will start to understand how to interpret them because you can relate the messages you received. This will be the beginning. Continue writing your dreams every day, and after many dreams, you’ll see the complete picture of what is happening in your psyche and around you.

Of course, it is essential to have a glossary with the dream symbols, which have been elucidated according to the scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by the psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung. I am a writer and have improved this method and can provide you a relevant glossary in my ebook, while Jung was too ignorant to do so. I continued his research and discovered that craziness is actually caused by the anti-conscience, which is untamed and very violent.

Only someone who is not a psychologist or psychiatrist could discover the existence of this wild conscience (anti-conscience) because all scientists follow the same basis for their research. However, their foundation is wrong. The same thing happened when the human beings believed that Earth was flat, whereas it turned out to be actually spherical. They looked for solutions based on the wrong impression about the Earth and therefore, none of their conclusions were correct.

All psychiatrists and psychologists believe that our conscience is right and we have to do what it tells us, even if we accept advice from someone else. Most people in our world think exactly the same.

However, my discoveries obtained by interpreting dreams revealed that the human conscience is absurd, ignorant and idiotic whereas the unconscious that produces our dreams is wise and saintly. Jung had concluded that the human being should listen to the advice of the unconscious mind but always do what one’s own conscience decides.

He thought that the wise unconscious that produces dreams to cure us from depression and craziness would also cause craziness. This is because Jung could not find another explanation, and he was afraid to continue investigating this finding. He accepted ignorance and stopped his research at a certain point. He was guided by the unconscious as well because he was not ready to learn the entire truth.

My research was not based only on the previous notions of the scientific world but also on the facts that I observed as a poetess. In addition, I could observe the works of many scientists that were consistent with each other, and all these resources revealed the same reality. Therefore, I abandoned the rule of my own conscience and followed only the directions I received in my dreams and symbols of daily life (that can be interpreted like dreams) that were sent by the wise and saintly unconscious mind.

No scientist would ever agree to do so; however, I did this because I clearly saw how crazy the human conscience was and I understood that far more craziness could originate only from the conscience and not from the unconscious as Jung mistakenly believed. Only the conscience shows us several signs of craziness and not the perfect unconscious mind that works like a doctor.

This is why I discovered that the human being is basically a monster and that one has to tame this violent nature and learn how to live peacefully, respect others and help them, so that one is happy and everyone in this world is happy too.

The other factor that the scientists ignore is that happiness is impossible on Earth because of the terror and violence that exist here. Terror destroys everything. This is why schizophrenia and psychosis and all the terrible mental illnesses that torture our population exist. Everything starts in our own psyche, which worsens in the crazy world we live in.

Everything in our world pushes us towards the labyrinth of craziness, helping the anti-conscience destroy our conscience completely. It is completely impossible to cure schizophrenia, psychosis or any mental illness in a world governed by terrorism, violence, immorality, corruption, greed, hypocrisy and futility.

If everything in our world is absurd, how can our population be balanced, calm and happy?

On the other hand, if the human being is a monster that has to be tamed and taught wisdom, how could one create a world that would be different than one’s own nature? One could only create a hell characterized by poverty, prostitution, wars, cruelty and indifference to human pain.

The solution for humanity and especially for each individual is dream interpretation, which is synonymous with craziness prevention. Everyone must prevent craziness as soon as possible, since it already exists in our psyche and even characterizes our conscience. With the invasion of the anti-conscience into the conscience, one becomes crazier, until one gets lost in the labyrinth of craziness.

We see dreams every time we sleep because the wise unconscious tries to save us when we sleep from the inherent craziness, so that the anti-conscience cannot invade our minds. The unconscious sends us mysterious messages that we have to learn how to decipher because if they could be easily understood by our conscience, the anti-conscience would understand them as well and distort them. We would then have no protection against craziness.

Depression is a warning that craziness is coming or that it has already arrived. You have to do something to change your life and behavior; otherwise, your depression can become a neurosis, which can easily worsen in a very short period of time if you do not treat yourself.

You need not go anywhere or pay any doctor. The wise unconscious is your doctor, the best that you could ever find. You only have to write down your dreams daily and relate them and study their meaning after translating dream symbols into words. You also have to follow its guidance to completely develop your conscience, forever eliminating the anti-conscience.

There are many reasons why they may feel this way, especially if they don’t have emotional support from their parents.

On the other hand, the world where we all live is totally crazy, cruel and indifferent to human pain. Here, only those who have money, have power and are respected by others because they are afraid of them; and justice is only poetry, that doesn’t exist in reality.

Here, everyone is selfish and cares only for his or her own happiness… Here, nobody cares for anything that is not immediately connected to their personal lives. Nobody accepts sacrifice, nobody forgives anyone and nobody helps others when too much effort is needed. Here, nobody helps anyone first of all, unless it is for the good of their image, business and family.

Here, goodness is a fairy tale and happiness, an impossible dream to come true.

Why? Because the human being is cruel.

This is why we live in a world governed by terrorism, violence and immorality and we observe so much despair, craziness, misery, crimes and horror everywhere, while the hypocrisy of those who are not affected by the worst consequences of the human absurdity, insist on being indifferent to human pain and to the destruction of our societies, civilization and planet.

Everyone has various psychological problems only because everyone inherits a wild conscience; very violent, that won’t be tamed by the conscious mind that has human characteristics and can understand human problems and forgive them.

Having such an absurd conscience and living in such an absurd world, the human being can only suffer very much, lost in profound despair.

Now, if we examine the life of everyone in this crazy world, what are we going to see? We are going to find parents that don’t care for their kids because they have personal problems and their marriage was a very big mistake they made when they were too young; or that several nervous reactions of the human psyche cannot be controlled by the human conscience unless the person passes through a process of indispensable psychotherapy.

We are going to realise that most people live running, without any money to spend on what they want or even to pay for their bills, which transforms their survival into a heroic battle.

We are going to see also that those who have the money, don’t have inner peace and do have various other problems that arise from the existence of abundance without any wisdom or sensitivity.

Sensitivity is the base of psychical health, not reasoning, as most people believe. Sensitivity, piety, compassion and comprehension are the signs of psychical health and balance, not aggression and indifference. We might observe these traits in the human being who can think and work and do many fantastic things, have technological power and constant progress in many fields, but is totally absurd, because he is cruel and this is why nothing really helps him to live better and be happy.

This is why the human being created this absurd world, where he basically suffers, besides being eluded by various ephemeral pleasures.

In order to overcome depression, panic attacks, self-abuse and suicidal tendencies, one has to be a hero. If you enter into such a chain of events that predetermines your behavior and the unavoidable consequences of your mistakes, you have to be resistant and fight against the anti-conscience. This is the wild side of your conscience that causes panic attacks and the self-abusive tendency; which is in fact a suicidal tendency - not as well camouflaged as usual, because when you injure your body your absurdity is visible.

You may be the victim of other people’s absurdity, but you are being absurd too.

Unfortunately, craziness and despair can only generate terror and panic.

How can you escape from this chain and regain your life, build your personality and save the world with your heroic example of salvation?

You need psychotherapy. The wise unconscious mind that produces your dreams is the best doctor you could ever find and is going to help you fight against the absurd tendencies imposed by the anti-conscience. This way you might win the battle in the end, and live free from depression and despair, in order to save humanity with your work and your generosity, because there are many people here that need support and relief, as much as you need it while you are still weak.

Para describir el [sistema] que domina el planeta, la palabra no debería ser ya "capitalismo" sino "plutocracia deseísta". Siglos de humanismo europeo han sido pulverizados por una utopía colectivista seguida de una utopía comercial".

Lo escribe Frédéric Beigbeder en "Socorro, perdón" [Anagrama, 2008].

MI NIÑEZ

He vuelto por unas horas
a la que jamás fue mi niñez
a los años en que se ausentaban los pájaros
en el cielo nublado de todas las mañanas
sin encontrar el lugar secreto
en el que nos escondían los juguetes
.

un día dos niños se besaron
ignorando por qué el instinto
les empujó a ocultarse
en el nido abandonado de los gorriones

(Letra de Tropicália, de Caetano Veloso)

Você já tem um bom motivo para visitar Brasília entre os dias 15 de julho e 30 de agosto: a exposição A Utopia da Modernidade: de Brasília à Tropicália. O evento faz uma leitura da cidade ao relacionar sua concepção (ordenada e racional) aos elementos estéticos da Tropicália, movimento cultural brasileiro que combinou manifestações tradicionais da cultura nacional com inovações estéticas.

A Tropicália ou Tropicalismo se manifestou por meio da música (Caetano Veloso, Torquato Neto, Gilberto Gil, Os Mutantes e Tom Zé); das artes plásticas (Hélio Oiticica), do cinema (o movimento sofreu influências e influenciou o Cinema novo de Glauber Rocha) e do teatro (José Celso Martinez Corrêa).

A proposta da exposição está baseada na tese homônima de Ana Queiroz, curadora e amiga de longa data. Formada em História da Arte pela Universidade Complutense de Madrid, Ana é coordenadora da área de Intercâmbios e Cooperação Ibero-Americana da Casa da Cultura da América Latina, ligada à Universidade de Brasília.

Ana é daquelas pessoas sempre inquietas, capazes de conhecer o objeto de estudo em seus detalhes mais imperceptíveis. E a exposição parece refletir a dinâmica interna de sua criadora. Ontem, a dois dias do evento, eu e Andrea VG, da Produtora VideoIdéia, fomos ao Museu Nacional filmar o making-off da exposição. Conversamos longamente com Ana e os responsáveis pela museografia. Mesmo ainda em construção, o resultado era supreendente.

Dentro e fora do museu, o visitante é convidado a participar dessa viagem aos anos 50 e 60, um dos períodos mais criativos das artes brasileiras. Em A`Utopia da Modernidade, prepare-se para interagir com a história por meio de releituras e originais de obras concebidas naqueles anos loucos.

"Ou não..."

Em breve, publicarei um post com o vídeo sobre a exposição produzido pela Videoidéia.

"[Edmund] Burke is the father of modern conservatism, and still its wisest oracle. Tradition-minded but (contrary to stereotype) far from reactionary, he believed in balancing individual rights with social order. The best way to do that, for Burke, was by respecting long-standing customs and institutions while advancing toward liberty and equality. Society’s traditions, after all, embody an evolved collective wisdom that even (or especially) the smartest of individuals cannot hope to understand comprehensively, much less reinvent successfully. The Burkean outlook takes individual rights seriously, and understands that civic order serves no purpose if its result is oppression or misery. It also understands that social stability, far from being endangered by institutional change, positively depends upon it. Burkeans no more believe in a golden past than they do in a perfect future. For them, the question is not whether society should change, but how. Burke himself was an advocate of change; he sympathized with the American revolution (while famously denouncing the much more radical French one), proposed curtailing the slave trade, and fought tirelessly to reform the corrupt and monopolistic British East India Company. But he believed change should take a measured pace and should try to follow well-work social grooves rather than cutting across them. Above all, he abhorred utopian reformers, who, by disdaining real-world constraints and overestimating their own intelligence, invariably worsen what they seek to improve."

de Guillermo Sullings

Hace un tiempo, en ocasión del aniversario de los bombardeos a Hiroshima y Nagasaki, en un acto organizado por nuestra Fundación "Mundo sin Guerras", comentábamos entre otras cosas, la influencia que tenían los medios de difusión masiva, en particular el cine y la TV, a la hora de condicionar a la opinión pública, respecto a quienes son los "malos" y quienes son los "buenos".

Este condicionamiento, como efecto de esa propaganda, genera violencia, discriminación y también insensibiliza a la gente respecto de las masacres cuyas víctimas pertenezcan al bando de los "malos". Decíamos que por efecto de esa propaganda, la opinión pública mayoritaria recordaba tales bombardeos, no como el genocidio que significaron, sino como acciones militares "necesarias para terminar con el conflicto".

Estos "señores malos", contra los cuales pareciera justificarse todo tipo de violencia y genocidios, a veces fueron japoneses y alemanes, otras veces soviéticos y vietnamitas, y más recientemente musulmanes. Por acción de este formidable aparato propagandístico-cultural, mucha gente "digiere aceptablemente" las masacres llevadas adelante por los ejércitos invasores, por ser "acciones bélicas legales" de ejércitos regulares; y por el contrario, rechaza las acciones del "bando malo" por su manifiesta crueldad y cobardía terrorista.

Pero no son solamente las guerras, los hechos de violencia bendecidos por la cultura mediática. El incentivo al consumismo irracional, la competencia feroz, el individualismo, la sociedad de ganadores y perdedores, y a todos los valores funcionales al desarrollo del sistema imperante, también tienen su correlato de violencia de todo tipo, a través del resentimiento social, la fragmentación, la marginación y la discriminación.

Cabe preguntarse entonces, como es posible que un sistema de propaganda tan burdo y grotesco, siga surtiendo efecto sobre la subjetividad de las personas, habida cuenta de sus nocivos efectos. Evidentemente, hay una predisposición cultural a aceptar pasivamente tal influencia, sin la menor crítica o auto-crítica. Y en ese sentido está claro, que el nivel cultural (y no estamos hablando de nivel educativo), es de una gran pobreza; basta observar cuales son los programas televisivos de mayor raiting en nuestro país, para darse una idea.

Uno podría responsabilizar de ello a quienes producen esos programas, que en definitiva son empresarios que ganan dinero con lo que la gente consume. Porque siendo sinceros, hay mucha gente que aún teniendo otras opciones, elige permanentemente lo burdo, en una suerte de "abandono cultural".

Sin embargo, este fenómeno no es nuevo; siempre ha habido "pan y circo" para distraer a la gente. Pero en otras épocas, además del circo, también había sectores de la población que tenían otras inquietudes, y poco a poco se constituían en vanguardia, contagiaban sus aspiraciones de una sociedad mejor a muchos otros, y se ponía en marcha una dinámica que terminaba haciendo avanzar a las sociedades.

No importa si algunas veces esas vanguardias eran los intelectuales, o eran los jóvenes, o los trabajadores, o los artistas; lo claro es que tales vanguardias dinamizaban la evolución social. La pregunta sería entonces ¿dónde están hoy esas vanguardias?, y si las hay ¿dónde está su capacidad de contagiar a otros, para llegar a una masa crítica que genere cambios culturales?

En la década del 60, hubo una gran dinámica social merced a la acción de estas vanguardias. Hubo en el mundo un mayo francés y en Argentina un Cordobazo, donde estudiantes y trabajadores produjeron grandes movilizaciones en busca de cambios profundos. No eran solamente reclamos puntuales, se proclamaba "la imaginación al poder".

Por su parte el Movimiento Hippie, se rebelaba contra la sociedad burguesa y sobre todo contra la guerra y la violencia. La utopía del Flower Power, la búsqueda de la sociedad del amor y la paz, también produjo mucha movilidad entre los jóvenes. También hubo mucha dinámica en lo político, y aunque muchos hayan creído equivocadamente que utilizando las armas se podría resolver la violencia en el mundo, en el fondo se aspiraba a un cambio total. Desde luego que hubo liderazgos, en lo político, en lo estudiantil, en lo filosófico, en el arte y en la música.

Pero esos liderazgos pudieron manifestarse porque había conjuntos humanos que estaban convencidos que podría lograrse un gran cambio, y estaban dispuestos a movilizarse colectivamente detrás de ese sueño. No estamos discutiendo éxitos y fracasos, estamos rescatando ese factor de movilización social, esas imágenes conjuntas de una transformación social. Y hoy eso parece estar ausente, o al menos ha estado ausente en los 80 y los 90, y si bien ahora aparecen algunos indicadores de que mucha gente siente la necesidad de un cambio, no aparecen a la vista imágenes que movilicen a grandes conjuntos, salvo en coyunturas efímeras.

Pareciera ser que algunos de los fracasos en las aspiraciones de la cultura de los 60, nos hubieran dejado en el pantano de la cultura de la Postmodernidad. Y digo pantano, porque por lo general se habla de "corrientes culturales", pero las corrientes dan la imagen de un torrente que avanza, venciendo resistencias y sumando afluentes. En cambio la Postmodernidad, se parece más a las aguas estancadas. Las aguas estancadas del individualismo, del escepticismo, el relativismo, y sobre todo la negación de toda posibilidad de cambios profundos.

Tal como dice Lipovetzky, la postmodernidad es la "segunda revolución del individualismo". Pero ya no se trata solamente de aquel individualismo materialista fomentado por el viejo liberalismo, funcional al sistema económico, que desde luego sigue existiendo. Ahora también quienes dicen buscar alternativas, quienes intentan definirse como la "contra cultura", lo hacen de modo individualista y fragmentado. Para los postmodernos pareciera ser un mérito renegar de la posibilidad de toda cosmovisión, desconfiar de los grandes relatos, resistirse a ser parte de algo en lo que se sientan etiquetados.

Está bien visto ser nihilista, incrédulo, vivir el presente, y jugar a desentenderse de todo. Está bien todo lo que sea subjetivo y relativista, y cualquier convicción es confundida con absolutismo. Estamos ante una cultura narcisista en la que cada cual cree utilizar al máximo sus libertades individuales, mientras que el sistema restringe cada vez más su campo de acción. Es como una gran prisión con celdas individuales, donde cada uno cree ser libre porque en su celda hace lo que quiere, con su cuerpo, con sus pertenencias y con su miserable vida, aunque jamás pueda ver el sol.

Y desde luego que en una sociedad de individuos aislados y apáticos, la maquinaria del sistema sigue avanzando, y nos aproxima a lo que Beck denomina la "sociedad del riesgo", porque cada vez es más probable una catástrofe social, o ecológica, o nuclear, sin que nadie pueda impedirla, porque la sociedad no tiene mecanismos para prevenir y frenar su propio suicidio colectivo.

En esta era del desencanto y del alma desilusionada, parece difícil salir del círculo vicioso. Está difícil proponer ideales, a quienes creen que han muerto las ideologías; o proponer pensar en el futuro a quienes creen que solamente importa el presente; proponer grandes cambios a quien desconfía de toda propuesta. Está difícil comunicar un proyecto de transformación, porque todas las palabras antes cargadas de sentido, ahora se nos aparecen como consignas gastadas, y todos los proyectos imaginables, se parecen a viejos intentos ya fracasados, al menos desde la pesimista visión de la cultura postmoderna.

Estamos en un problema, porque aún los que sienten la necesidad de salir de este pantano, no encuentran una nueva imagen que los motive, y mucho menos que les sirva para motivar a otros. Y es que toda imagen con la que se quiera dibujar una utopía, necesariamente tendrá elementos ya conocidos. El propio Tomás Moro, quien acuñoó el término utopía en su significado actual, cuando se imaginaba esa sociedad ideal, se la imaginaba con siervos y esclavos, cosa que hoy nos parece una gravísima contradicción. Pero así veía la sociedad ideal un inglés de hace 500 años. ¿Cómo debería verse hoy para movilizarse tras ella?- No me hablen de palabras gastadas, dirán algunos-. -Háblenme de algo nuevo, pedirán otros-. Como si se tratara de comprar un nuevo modelo de automóvil.

Pues yo creo que quizá, no tengamos que esperar movilizarnos por algo novedoso. Tal vez lo que nos pueda movilizar y sacar de este pantano, sea lo más antiguo. Tal vez sea aquello que alguna vez sintió el primer simio, el primer primate que se puso de pie para poder mirar al cielo y así transformarse en humano. Y luego se puso de pie otro, y diez más y cien más, y finalmente todos. Tal vez eso aún esté vivo dentro de nosotros y hoy nos ayude a salir de este pantano y poder dar un nuevo salto. Claro que tal vez, es algo que no se ve, que no es sencillo transmitir con las palabras, y mucho menos se puede apresar.

Y hablando de cosas que no pueden apresarse, me resultó curioso que, leyendo algunas cuestiones acerca de esta cultura de la Postmodernidad, encontré que algunos postmodernos hacen suyo uno de los principios de la física cuántica. El principio de incertidumbre cuántica de Heisemberg. Este principio dice algo así como que no es posible medir la posición y velocidad de las partículas más elementales, porque para poder observarlas hay que iluminarlas, y al hacerlo los fotones colisionan con las partículas y las desvían. Supongo que algunos postmodernos consideran que esto abona la teoría de que si todo es incierto y no son posibles las respuestas integrales, entonces lo más sensato es el escepticismo.

Claro, uno de física no sabe nada, pero de pronto me preguntaba, si esto de definir a este principio como "principio de incertidumbre", no tendrá que ver con el hecho de que algunos consideran que para poder tener certidumbres o certezas, es imprescindible poder medir y cuantificar todo. ¿Y que tal si hubiera otro modo de tener certezas?, ¿Y que tal si para movilizarse tras una utopía, no es necesario tener los planos y la maqueta de la ciudad ideal del futuro?...

Otras cosas se me ocurrían con este interesante principio, una fue casi una alegoría; porque si las partículas más elementales no pueden medirse porque la luz modifica su trayectoria al observarlas, eso significa que la denominada "realidad concreta", se moverá según como la iluminemos. Y diferente será nuestra realidad presente, si la seguimos mirando bajo la penumbra de la resignación y el nihilismo, que si la iluminamos con una utopía lanzada al futuro.

En todo caso, creo que será interesante que, en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad, el arte y la cultura, quienes sientan la necesidad de un cambio, la necesidad de crear una nueva cultura que nos saque del sin sentido y de la violencia, que confíen en ese ancestral clamor interno, se pongan de pie y caminen hacia lo que sienten verdadero. Y que no tengan pudor en aspirar a cosas grandes, porque son las cosas grandes las que valen la pena. La trascendencia, vale la pena. Vivir con sentido, vale la pena. Borrar el sufrimiento de la faz de la tierra, es un proyecto que vale la pena. Lo demás, son pequeñeces. Y está claro que sentir convicción interna, y ponerse de pie con resolución, no implica imponer las propias verdades a otros. Pero también está claro, que para ponerse de pie detrás de un sueño, no es necesario andar pidiéndole permiso a cada escéptico que se nos cruce en el camino.

Finalmente, quisiera terminar esta ponencia, citando el texto de un graffiti que apareció a fines del milenio pasado en algún lugar de Latinoamérica, tal vez escrito por alguien que se había hartado del pantano postmoderno:

"¡Basta de realidades, queremos utopías!"

El Juzgado de Primera Instancia Número 4 de Alicante ha aplicado por primera vez la Ley sobre la Usura contra una sociedad de "Préstamos Privados".Es decir no los otorga un Banco ni una financiera regulada por el Banco de España.

Normalmente acuden a éstas empresas, personas que se encuentran en el en el Rai y/o ASNEF.

Precisamente el próximo 23 de julio esta normativa cumplirá 200 años desde su entrada en vigor.

Esta Ley, actualizada por la Ley 1/2000, de 7 de enero, de Enjuiciamiento Civil, declara que "será nulo todo contrato de préstamo en que se estipule un interés notablemente superior al normal del dinero y manifiestamente desproporcionado con las circunstancias del caso o en condiciones tales que resulte aquél leonino, habiendo motivos para estimar que ha sido aceptado por el prestatario a causa de su situación angustiosa, de su inexperiencia o de lo limitado de sus facultades mentales".

Se trata de una de las grandes preocupaciones del Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo, que ante la necesidad de crédito que pueda producir la actual situación de recesión económica ha incluido entre sus prioridades de inspección a las empresas de intermediación financiera, y establecimientos de agrupación de créditos y efectuará controles sobre la información que se da al usuario de servicios financieros ofertados como créditos rápidos, de reunificación de deudas y otros.

Atención: La característica principal de éstos "préstamos" son:

1. cliente: incluido en el RAI y/o Asnef, existe una situación de necesidad del demandante, retrasos en pago de letras de hipotecas, préstamos etc.
2. cliente: sin medios para justificar "ingresos" como nóminas etc.,(cualquier banco o entidad financiera regulada por el Banco de España es lo primero que solicita a la hora de demandar un préstamo y/o crédito.)
3. Prestamista: Rapidez en la gestión.
4. Prestamista: no existe riesgo para el prestatario, Garantía Real, es decir una propiedad que avala al "prestamista" el préstamo acordado.
5. Alto interés ,normalmente triplican ,sí triplican la suma a devolver.
6. el plazo para devolver el dinero es excesivamente reducido; normalmente seis meses , llegado el día del vencimiento , vuelven a aplicar intereses.

Logo que cheguei em Brasília, no fim de 2003, tive contato com os primeiros passos da tese de doutorado de Ana Queiroz sobre as relações entre Brasília e a Tropicália. O resultado de todo esse imenso trabalho pode ser visto agora, no novo Museu da República, a partir desta terça-feira, dia 15/07, até o dia 30/08.

A curadora Ana Queiroz, que integrou as linhas avançadas do Oscar aos timbres e acordes dos Mutantes, Gil e Caetano, é atriz e doutora em História da Arte pela Universidade Complutense de Madrid. Até hoje ecoa na mente dela a perfeita imitação que fiz de um Dragão de Komodo em uma mesa de bar. Não insistam! Não existirá outra performance. Abaixo, apresentação em texto da própria autora.

A exposição A Utopia da Modernidade: de Brasília à Tropicália traça um percurso emblemático da arte do nosso país. Ainda que neste momento expresse apenas um recorte do seu projeto inicial devendo ser ampliada à representação de artistas para a itinerância, a mostra interpreta Brasília como a urbe protagonista de um novo tempo e insere a cidade no contexto das utopias, convidando cada visitante a pensar a história da busca do lugar para ser feliz.

Nela se revela o mesmo desejo atávico e imemorial que acompanha os homens desde sempre e que até hoje forja sonhos e desencadeia migrações e diásporas. Há quase 50 anos, Brasília nasceu de um conceito de cidade ideal, a Cidade Moderna tecendo em sua gênese o arquétipo da terra prometida. No mapeamento da sua construção, razão, utopia e mito se entrecruzam e é nessa conjuntura que desenvolvemos a nossa reflexão: cidade, arte e cultura são parte de um só contexto.

Desde o seu primeiro traço a capital reconfigura e expõe as amálgamas dos nossos Brasis. Inventiva, se reinventa. Recria-se a cada instante, terra brasílica. A urbe traduz e decifra duas estéticas que ilustradas na sua Arquitetura e recriadas nos seus vãos, parecem dissimilares, mas comungam o mesmo espaço. A nossa exposição lança esse olhar e propõe a reflexão: a estética racional, ordenada, concreta versus a estética da mescla, irônica e dessacralizadora instaurada nos procedimentos multifacéticos da Tropicália.

Ambientações, vídeos-instalação, recortes cenográficos, releituras de alta temperatura inventiva conversam com o visitante propondo o diálogo e a interação. ENTRE é um convite e a palavra chave: entrequadras, entre décadas, entre tantos mundos. Na pequena sala arquitetada pelos designers da exposição, obras originais elaboram referências temáticas sobre a Capital e dialogam com as projeções de distintas cidades. O cenário do Eixo Monumental é apropriado na composição do projeto museográfico elaborando uma nova geografia na esplanada dos Ministérios.

A Tropicalização criativa do grupo N.O.I.S. inspirou-se numa tese de doutorado e, neste caso, a mostra transforma-se em projeto coletivo, em tese viva para ser refletida, questionada e, especialmente, vivenciada.

The scientific method of dream interpretation is really a magical solution that nobody could imagine possible. It is not merely a translation of dream symbols: it is pure psychotherapy, and the most effective existing craziness prevention.

Everyone needs it, precisely because there is too much absurdity accumulated in the wild part of the human conscience. The anti-conscience, our primitive conscience, is schizophrenic. It means that we are a priori crazy when we are born. The small part of our conscience that has human characteristics is too weak, compared to the huge, wild part of our conscience, which is very powerful and totally absurd.

This is why we need the guidance of the wise unconscious mind in our dreams and in symbols of our daily reality. Alone we will never win the battle against the strong anti-conscience.

We have to eliminate this enemy, so that we may live our lives the way we want.

What do you (and everyone else) want in life?

1.  Happiness

2.  Health

3.  Love

4.  Money

5.  Peace

You can have everything you want if you pay attention to the guidance you receive in your own dreams.

How is this possible?

You will simply have to add to your list the word “wisdom”, first of all.

With your wisdom, you are going to find happiness, psychical and physical health, the right person for you (so that you will always be loved and respected), make money thanks to your completely developed intelligence, have inner and external peace, avoid diseases and accidents and predict the future, being able to change the future development of what is not as you would wish.

The scientific method of dream interpretation provides you with an exact translation of the dream meanings, which works like psychotherapy, preventing the absurd content which exists in the wild side of your conscience, to invade and destroy the human side; besides helping you to completely develop the human side of your conscience. This is how you will acquire the wisdom you need in order to successfully solve all the problems in your life and be happy forever.

It doesn’t matter if you care about your dreams and take notes everyday, or if you only care about translating them occasionally, such as when you have had a particularly interesting or strange dream. 

At the very least, you must learn what the content of your psyche is and how you can protect yourself from the craziness you inherited in the wild part of your conscience. This is indispensable!

If however you are smarter and study your dreams, regularly translating their meaning, you will soon reach your aim, acquiring everything you need in order to be happy for life.

You are too ignorant and life is very difficult. You need to develop your human conscience completely and become more intelligent, developing all your capacities. You may have many talents that are totally immersed in the wild side of your conscience, without use. You could be feeling wonderful now, if only you could use your hidden talents!

Everything is wasted if it belongs to the primitive side of your mind, that didn't pass through consciousness. You probably have heard that the human being uses only a small fraction of his brain. This is true unfortunately, and this is why he only suffers in life, making many silly mistakes and later facing their consequences.

If you want to have the confidence of always making good decisions you must develop your conscience without delay. This can be easily achieved through dream interpretation. You don't have to go anywhere in search of relief or pay anything to the wise unconscious mind that sends you informative and protective dreams. You only have to pay attention to your dreams and take notes, comparing one to another.

This occupation will be your best hobby. It will be like solving puzzles. When you have a complete image of what is happening to you, you will understand why you are depressed and what you have to do in order to find peace and happiness.

Translating the meaning of your dreams with the unique method that exactly translates their messages, you will develop completely the human side of your conscience, eliminating the wild side. This way, all your talents will appear on the surface, and will be active parts of your personality. You will be intelligent and self-confident, able to analyze reality and predict the future: a person that can only succeed, even when things are not the way you would like them to be.

You will transform what is bad and problematic into something useful and good, people that don't like you into your best friends, and even the entire world into a place where everyone will have the chance to be happy like you, thanks to your superior vision of life and your wise attitude.

Per quanto io abbia scherzato nel presentarle, devo ammettere che guardare queste assurde creazioni di carta mi piace da morire. Non avrò MAI la pazienza di realizzarne neppure una probabilmente, ma mi diverte enormemente vedere le creazioni di altri. Per questa ragione accludo una serie di links, casomai vi siate incuriositi e vogliate saperne di più.
