What keep us moving

I was wondering what are the main issues that impell us going ahead and towards what...
-power (control and decide, domination)
-pleasure (sex.... sensitive emotions (touch, ear, see, smell, taste, perception)
-money ( exchange, to buy, buy and buy)
could these, make civilizations fall, even implode? By history many societys have fall and raise based on essencially on a mix of such described points.
No tiranic, no oligarchic, theocratic, not even democratic societys have last forever; So how long could we expect that our societys ("western " ones) last? Babylons, Greeks, Lacedemonees, Romans, Egiptians, Maya with such a "balanced vision" haven't been hable to sustain their own people, invaders etc.
So my point is, since we are living in a such a speed of light, i expect that our societys, the way they are established, be conducted to an end (for instance a multinational company could buy a country because of its debt? could a country finance another and receive that territory as payment of a debt?)
We are movers...so we keep moving!

Portuguese: a tremendous heritage

Não há dúvida sobre a importância da comnicação ;Embora os nossos computadores sejam mais rápidos e os softwares sejam mais eficientes do que nunca, não poderemos nunca sobrestimar o poder de uma língua, não só enquanto informação objetiva, mas também enquanto percepção emocional; Como eu dizia anteriormente, um computador pode de facto fazer este "trabalho" por nós (tradutores e leitores digitais) mas naturalmente sem o mesmo resultado; Eu admiro-me que 204 milhões de almas falem a mesma língua e que provavelmente consigam transmitir as mesmas emoções pela sua língua que é a 6ª língua mais falada no mundo; Mas enquanto língua estrangeira estamos longe do francês e inglês; Naturalmente que o Brasil tem aqui um papel decisivo do futuro da mesma! (94% da população mundial que fala português é do Brasil!) As equipes multidisciplinares (cultural, o esporte, cientifico, o negócio, ong etc.) devem estar coordenadas para estender e realçar esta herança. Quanto à beleza da própria língua (a pergunta seria: a minha língua é sexy?), bem penso que sempre dependerá do emissor da mensagem, do seu tom, variáveis ligadas e que referencias emocionais temos de tal língua. Portanto eu poderia ouvir uma lingua como o Farsi/Persian e gostar.Independentemente de tudo, isto será como o consumo: quanto mais compramos de um determinado país, mais obrigados seremos a absorver a sua cultura e inevitavelmente a sua lingua.
There's no doubt about the importance of comunication;
Although our computers are faster and software aplications are more eficient than never
one can never understimate the power of a language, in order to get not only objective
information, but also emotional perception; As i was saying before a computer can actually
do this job for us (translators and digital readers) but of course we can't get the same result;
I was wondering that 204 Million souls speak the same language and most likely that can transmit same emotions through their language as the 6th spoken language in ther world;
But as a foreing language we are far away from French and English; Of course Brasil
has here a tremendous role for the future! Multidisciplinary teams (cultural, sport, cientific, business, ong etc) should be arranged in order to spread and enhance this heritage.
As for the beauty of the language itself (the question would be is my language sexy?) , well i think it will always depend on the messenger tone and all the variables linked to, what emotive references do we have from it. So i could hear Farsi/Persian and like it anyway. Nevertheless this is like consumption: the more we buy from a certain country, more andatory will be its cultural influence hence its invitable language.

SOCIETY XXI

Happy new terrestrial year for everyone!
I was about going to sleep, when, after some web crawling (news actually)
i gave myself thinking why do evolute always towards self satisfaction and need/desire (basic instincts...). Biologically, technologically either (..)etc. we've always got our evolution balance through that terms. Its fair also to consider that if we did evolute in such terms, so did our emotions too. But what about our reason?? Does our reason evolute in the same pace? Could we afirm that our decisions are reasonable taken regardless our primary needs? My opinion is a straight "No"... The facts are known for everyone, we are always trying to get the easiest solution, to use less energy (to be lazy, in the limit : ) ) But the easieast solutions are always surrounded by unexpected, unpredictacle, dangerous variables which we can't control. Human societys always generated their own solutions (needs) and problems (most of the times free of charge). Nowadays, more then ever, seems that our needs are completely moved by emotion, in such a spiral way, where Ego is a supermassive exponential center, and rotates fast and unstable. Lets take some of examples of incongruity....
-men can save lives through science, science can produce bombs to take lives.
-men can create laws to ensure security, laws can take freedom away
-men creates vaccines to avoid deseases to spread, men creates deseases to justify vaccines.
-people can reduce their fat by medical cirurgy, this same intervention can be potencial unsafe
-people reach faster ( instatly) to information, information is manipulated by govs and corporations.
-people crawl the web much more, personal contact is less needed
-men relations and family concept is modifying (stress, gay coupling) hence less new born people on super cities...
and so on....

be happy!

GETTING COLDER (1)

I don't know why, but we are getting colder than ever anyway, i can assume some of my personal opinions, in order to discuss it for the moment i'll only post a single one.

1- the tone and goal of our discussions
  
in most of the cases in such comunication, mainly there are two sides and that two sides push other to that only same sides. (e.g. copehangen)
   
Usually both partys are irreducible to their point of view and no concense is possible. Our society and education is directioned (as basics) to emphasize the strongest, and in the limit if the cleavage is to strong then we go to war and fight.

Lets put it in our lives. Which one of us have never had a fight? And could you most of the times define it as balanced? i suppose not. At the end someone "gets the cup" and the sense of win-loss is instaled.
   
So could we ever evolute in to the direction of win-win discussions? 
Could we just be satisfied with our animal nature? Could we ever consider be educated to get balanced solutions?

   Atoms combine in order to get balanced (at least energetically), why can't we?

Dream

Perhaps our whole existence is just a dream.
Maybe we really do care about each other;
Maybe we really listen without interruptions;
Maybe our politicians are decent persons;
Maybe bankers do care for noble causes around the planet;
Maybe nuclear has no side effects;
Maybe pandemic flu is really a problem (to whom)

Maybe we could do something diferent...starting now!

Its funny how we do absorve large qtts of info, and just need 1% of it, at least dreaming has no potencial side effect, hence we can rule in such dimension.


Yep, once again: dream on!

About nothing

Everything turns arround something and nothing.We are always looking for something and when we get it, somehow it could turn to nothing.
(and most of the times it does)

We live (at least most of the so called developed societys) for self pleasure things that really dont mean anything. We can dissimulate, try to believe, but our existence is based on what (gefelt uns gut) we think it will give us a moment of tranquility in our "search". Anyway, we've came to a point of no return, where everything must be absorved in a minute, and at the we get miserable with that. Suposing that no one stays here for ever.... emphasize should be given to relations, and pure exchange of experiences, in a balanced environment in this brief journey where we are. 

I guess most of the persons don't give a shit for that....and that could be accepted as normal, because after all we should be free to decide what we really do value. 

Nowadays societys seem more a curse than everything.

SO FREEDOM!!!! (i'm free to do i want....)

Hands full of nothing

So this is it.
Perhaps we've have seen it all. But there's a lot to come, when we think that everithing's has already happen... no sir/madam... there's a lot to come. I wonder if we could create an imaginary world where peace rules, politics are honest, values were the core of the citizens. Would it be so boring as it seems?!? I think that all that we are into is due to our lack of commitement with overall society. As evultionary beings, we simply (at this stage) don't want to commit with nothing. There should be some citizen responsabilitys much behound the right to vote, that would compel us to get to some other kind of balance. As i look at it, i cant see any trend to balance. So we trust our politicians since they aquire the right of everything from the time we gave them that power. So let them fool us, we don't care, ....is this a joke or prank?! What do we care after all....hope at least about the next generations

(dont let them fool you....oh no!)

THE LAND(E)SCAPE

Sometimes i just wonder if the world shouldn't be as is.
I mean, for all of our actions there are reactions (some odd other not so quite). there are further more chances that we ruin everything faster than we took to contruct it. leave it. the world will adapt itself with or with out us. so whats new? nothing. and beyond our earth (world) , our imagination (much more everything than anything). So we develop... we change... we create...we relate and socialize...but whats really new? our essence is to adapt, we are not disruptive, our genes have an history code...so are we really original, or do we have always some present historical background that force us to use some of the basics. Well, anyway it will always be jungle up here, so face it:
GRAURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

wisdom here i come...

Sometimes i walk the avenue and get surprised ,
the way i make myself surprised.
There's always something diferent, i.e. somehow the buildings
aren't so tall, the streets stretch, some stain appears in the wall,
a new direction sheet metal appears, the cat that sneaks the garbage isn't black,
the lady that pull the child off road, the kids that dont play outside arent there,
the smell of the first rain drops mixes cars C02, that under construction road still there,
there's no so much people in that fashion store, the TV volume at the BAR stills high,
the fireman main sirene cant be heard, i must climb up where i did climb down,
the traffic is so dense, red light green light, i had to run....
my muscles dont seem to follow me....

i wake up... must to work out.

the time

"i don't have the time"
"my time has gone"
"as time goes by"
"time after time"
....
these are like pursuiters of our life; this measure, this clock just doesn't stop;
And why in world would we like to stop the clock, " stop the world from spinning round".
there are lots of moments that we would like preserve for ever, or to visit it once in a while,
or even to remake it;
But somehow we have to hang in on, and simply remember, accept, prospect... to live!
such a surprise, today is complete financial crises, banks and companys bankrupcy, tomorrow everything will return to the same.... everyone is proclamed saint... politics, CEOs etc.
So there's always someone wining, in every possible time, that will rule soon or later.
But we know the behaviour is cyclic. With a bit of time we can go on history, to understand why
the power distribution is cyclic based and knowledge based;

At the end: time means nothing and everything, should we understand the true meaning during our lives.....if we ever get it...

THE PASSENGER III: WORLD IS BETTER THAN MARS


oh my planet, my earth, my nothing....
my questioning is always about the same....
is this the right path?
is there a right path?
..... so the traveler looked at the stars and wondered if there were
other tracks, because he thought he had walked so many, and always
came back at the same start point....
I've seen it all - he though while looking the sides with suspicion
- and yet i feel surprised every time i get to the start point....!
The cold black silent night surrrounded him with some nose freezing wind,
so he sneezed once more...
- ATCHUMMMMM !!!!
-Gesundheit- said a weak female voice that came from its back.

MUSIC IT

I wonder why music dindt have major role in our world.
Nowadays its all about 010100010101011 (yeap bynary!)
or logics true - false.

















Going to absurd,
imagine that every machine, computer, system or software work with sound;
well, since electricity have controled frequencys, we could apply and transform
the frequencys to something that could be heard;





So imagine loading computer operating systems, you would hear
some matrix sound (not noise composed musics) for instance;



When we turn the microwaves on, we would listen to Vivaldis Four Seasons

Machines in a factory should sound like a nice orchestra.



Even on people it would have a positive effect
for instance,



meetings should be singed e.g. theres no need to argue - cranberries
people leaving the company- i want to break free - queen
inviting some special person to dinner - dance me -leonard cohen
stock brokers at work - money - pink floyd

.
.
.
and so on.... politicians - tell me lies - fleetwood mac (eh eh eh)
