Muy bueno pero nadie escuchará. La opinión pública está enfebrecida por 'analistas' serviles al gobierno y sus medios (RTVE propaganda de Hamas). Creo q lejos de paliarse va a ir a más y nos generará un conflicto con la UE y EEUU, cuyas opiniones públicas son muy diferentes.

The images coming out are not 'jus ad bellum' though, more 'massacre of the innocents'. Not sure any just war theory condones this.

Por favor. Deje de engañar a los ciudadanos. Esto es lo que realmente piensa el gobierno de Australia del ataque de Irán contra Israel. De reconocimiento de estado palestino, nada. Y hoy ni siquiera se hace eco de su "llamada".

A very apt summary. No mudslinging will change if the PM and the government do not exemplify and lead the change. But the speech itself is incredibly polarising and confrontational. There's no hope.

Blud und Boden. Nos hemos acostumbrado en España a convivir con una ideología decimonónica nacionalista, etnicista, esencialmente racista, y encima a verla como algo positivo, algo de lo que estar orgulloso.

@drevney
No, it's not the kind of thing that I normally talk about, sorry. Loosely speaking scientific realists believe that the mathematical structures in our theories describe something which actually exists. They approximate the true essence of things somehow, whatever that might mean.

Mi paseo por twitter esta semana confirma algo que ya sabía a través de mi alumnos. Es la gente de "izquierda" en España la que sufre ceguera ideológica, sectarismo, e incapacidad de revisar sus prejuicios a la luz de la evidencia. Spain is different, pero solo su "izquierda".

Some of us philosophers have been practicing "slow philosophy" for a long time now.
Yielding to hyperactivity not only can ruin people's lives but the quality of their work goes down too. It also sets a very bad competitive example for others, particularly the young.
I couldn’t agree more with the conclusions of Cal Newport’s book “Slow productivity” commented this week in

The foreign media, academics, and political commentators love our civil war. They project their idealism into it (it's the reason many of them were attracted to Spain in the first place), so deep in their heart they want that war to continue and try to keep it alive.

No hay plazas de "promoción interna" en España, por ley. Lo que hay son todo tipo de triquiñuelas para impedir que los concursos sean abiertos, y conseguir así que se promocionen los de dentro. De eso, funcionalmente, va el sistema de acreditaciones y los baremos.

I’m afraid that I am slowly coming to this view too. It entails some departure from lessons I learnt many years ago from John Dupré, and it saddens me a bit to find myself agreeing on this one with Dawkins instead. But the more I read, the stronger the evidence seems to be.
