Li Hongbo, papel!

Is this some kind of joke?

He pensado que quizá te guste esta cita de "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry", de Neil deGrasse Tyson . "And that’s exactly what was observed. The gravitational waves of the first detection were generated by a collision of black holes in a galaxy 1.3 billion light-years away, and at a time when Earth was teeming with simple, single-celled organisms. While the ripple moved through space in all directions, Earth would, after another 800 million years, evolve complex life, including flowers and dinosaurs and flying creatures, as well as a branch of vertebrates called mammals. Among the mammals, a sub-branch would evolve frontal lobes and complex thought to accompany them. We call them primates. A single branch of these primates would develop a genetic mutation that allowed speech, and that branch—Homo sapiens—would invent agriculture and civilization and philosophy and art and science. All in the last ten thousand years. Ultimately, one of its twentieth-century scientists would invent relativity out of his head, and predict the existence of gravitational waves. A century later, technology capable of seeing these waves would finally catch up with the prediction, just days before that gravity wave, which had been traveling for 1.3 billion years, washed over Earth and was detected. Yes, Einstein was a badass. Empieza a leer este libro gratis:

After one glass of bourbon, [Michael Stocker and I] agreed that our work consisted largely of reminding moral philosophers of truths about human life which are very well known to virtually all adult human beings except moral philosophers. After further glasses of bourbon, we agreed that it was less than clear that this was the most useful way in which to spend one’s life, as a kind of flying mission to a small group isolated from humanity in the intellectual Himalaya.

The Silent World of dogs...

In this sequence of Jacques Cousteau ‘The Silent World " (from min. 50:05 to 58:07 approximately), the Calypso follows a herd of sperm whales and fatally hit a small breeding. Soon, many sharks congregate around the body and begin to devour it. The sailors are horrified and fascinated. But suddenly got mad. They attack the sharks, lift them up to the deck and killing them, with axes and maces. The crew's dog seems to not support the slaughter of sharks and goes away, or is only afraid ...? The sailors finally calm down and play curiously with barnacles accompanying sharks. Colin Dayan begins his book 'With dogs at the edge of life' narrating this sequence and observes: "... only the dog responds with what we can interpret as spot-on in Its gentle, unremitting regard".

Para esos espacios de nadie en la ciudad de todos

Paz en la lluvia, sí...

Cuando de proteger la biodiversidad se trata, cualquier otro valor debe quedar subordinado a los resultados provisionales de la investigación inteligente y cooperativa, a la valoración en caso de conflicto, a la revisión y al consecuente reacomodo del sistema de valores característico de una racionalidad práctica y crítica. Tras el último siglo de serios destrozos en la biosfera, quizá no quepa aspirar a otra cosa que a ser mejores predecesores y evitar que las generaciones futuras nos reprochen que la cortedad de nuestros intereses y de nuestras lealtades haya sido más fuerte que nuestra obligación de cuidar la biodiversidad y procurar su continuidad. Un ambiente con facebook, twitter y skype, pero sin ranas, sin manatíes o sin monos araña es decididamente un ambiente de valor menguante.
