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....)
