English about English topic.

This is a nice topic to write; I remember that when I was young, I usually skip English class just because I didn’t like the format and the teachers. It’s get boring talk about thinks like holydays or place to go, boring movies of England people doing England things. Maybe I get boring of England and Marry Poppins, maybe that’s all; the weariness of London, and the activities of pronunciation talking the same things over and over again. But one day I discover that the English was more than a subject, that day was when my literature teacher show us Willem Dafoe reading a poem; “The raven” of Edgard Alan Poe.

That day I discover what English is all about, the music and the rhyme of the language, so different to Spanish. Some says that its more easy to rhyme in English, so that’s why they have so many song, personally I think that’s because English have conquer the world by the industry not by itself and the production of books and songs its related to a material condition.  But there is something mystic about this language, when I hear to Ezra Pound I fell that, but I can’t describe it, so listen:

In my day life, I use a lot of English to do research and discover new things on the internet. All my Google search are made in English just because the “Spanish internet” is more confuse, indirect, sometimes stupid. When I have a problem and I need to know how to solve it, I use English; they have a better manage of the information and data, just because the world is writing in that language.  But sometimes I get scary to become a gringo lover, I know one guy that says that Spanish it’s a terrible language and non-one can think well in this language “there is no philosophy in Spanish, just the Quijote, that’s the only good think you can say in Spanish”.

I have to confess folks: I’m not Green at all, is even more; my blackness seems like a coal.

Its start with an intuition, a predisposition to distrust green organizations. Of course I have political correct discourse about it, but the main thing is an unconscious felling about “the green” and this generation.  We have grown assuming that the world is at the edge, that one false step can make all the nature collapse, we have assume that in our everyday life making some little sacrifice that  will restore the order in our minds, being respectful with some kind of macrocosms that don’t belong to us. Meanwhile we are becoming more respectful, more moral correct and more sacrificial, some people are already taking it all, our respect are leaving the free way to fully exploitation of nature, someone is getting profit on our everyday sacrifice and it’s not the nature.  I think that turnaround of advanced capitalism to a green capitalism it’s a clearly a clever way to externalize cost disguised of moral precepts.

I do ride bike, just because I like to be faster. I pick up the garbage in the “nature”, but just because its look more pretty like this. I recycle when it’s cheaper. I don’t want to learn some Christians practice about “preserving” nature, the idea of preserving is in too anthropocentric for me. If you like comeback to nature, maybe the best way to do that is the death.

SILK!

In this free topic I’m gonna talk about something that really got my attention this week:  The silk. It’s all start with a recent movie called “The upstream color” where two guys where boiling a worm to ingest some kind of drug that make them fully coordinated in movements. Independent of the movie argument (I don’t want to make spoilers to anyone, I fully recommend to watch this movie with a clear mind, trying to don’t get disgusted about the pretentious) the fact that they boiled the a worm really got my attention, I thought that this action was referred to something maybe symbolically or concrete and I was right. This Wednesday, in a party, some girl talks me about the process of silk manufacture: the silk is a textile obtained by certain  insect larvae to form cocoons, the process implies the boiled of the pupae in order to get individual long fibers… so I discover the meaning of the movie, of course I won’t tell you guys, but its easy.

 Anyways I became obsessed with the silk. There is something more badass that have a cloth made of this?

Then I read a book of Allesandro barrico called “Silk” about a Nederland man that travel to Japan in order to get healthy larvae, to make Silk, in the process he  meet a rich and powerful Japanese and he fall in love with his wife. In conclusion that’s why I’m saving money to buy a Silk shirt. 

Why mass media were an aberration in human history

This article writed at the Guardian post, talks about a book writed by Tom Standage, called “Writing on the Wall”. The books talks about how the social media as always exist, since ancient times where the people tend to communicate each other’s by simple interactions or wall post like the Pompeii’s graffiti. The idea behind this book is that the mass media (in opposition to the social media) is an aberration in the human history, only possible by the industrial revolution, the capital and the the monopoly of means of production. We usually see the mass media as the norm, as the main structure of communication, and we fell like the social media is an alternative, a way to transgress the establishment. But the author wants to invest this logic by showing us the historical evidence of social media in ancient times.  

But I think that the author fails at the point where he thinks that we have a history line and in that history line we have aberrations or dark ages, it’s like thinking in a constant develop of the human race. The evidence that the Mass media as always exist don’t implies that the mass media is the path or the norm. In our recent experience, we have faced the “new ways” , because in our context it’s obviously a revelation , where the mass media is the norm and not an aberration.  

Free topic, the difficulty of choices

I don't have too much time to stop and think about what I will like to write, I have waste plenty of time in this, maybe it’s a major problem in my life; "thinking about write and don't do it", one of the worst time sinks similar to surf on internet aimless or play rpg games. P.D James says: "Don’t just plan to write—write. It is only by writing, not dreaming about it, that we develop our own style". Write about writing is not an aim; it’s just about doing something when you face the anxiety over infinity of possibilities. Our brains are not used to the free will, mainly because it’s just an utopia and we never have an empirical approximation to the "free", it’s all about alternatives conditioned by structures, all our experienced is framed, and that’s good because we are more likely to act when we don’t face the complexity of the world. All the main work of an organization is to reduce the complexity and take choices, choices will co-opt our free will but will lend us to an action. But anyways we can start something by simply doing anything and re-correcting and rethinking in the way, just like my post. 

The Mistic of Mexico

I really like to go to Mexico and visit the "Sonora market", the place where you can buy items related to the black magic and the occult, this place is located in Mexico City, one of the biggest city of the world with 8.84 millions of people, located in valley of Mexico, a large valley in the high plateaus at the center of Mexico, a bit similar to Santiago that is placed in a hole too. 

When I get there I will like to apply to National Autonomous University of Mexico for doing a major in sociology, something referred to the violence in the Latin America culture, the political violence or something like that. I’m interesting in the socio-cultural basis of the violence at Mexico and how the government can’t ever construct the monopoly of the violence in Weber’s terms. Mexico can give us highlights about this topics, is the place where the magic, the violence, the spicy and the sacrifice merge together to make an unusual society, just like Porfio Díaz says; “Poor Mexico, so far from god and so close to the United States”.
