Oh well…Just one:

Whatever else contributed to the FTX meltdown, it is essential to recognize the role played by a society—backed by a legal regime of economic incentives—that valorizes wealth, spurns regulation, and worships technical “smarts” over democratic accountability. The trouble is distributed throughout a culture that is “inherently elitist, genius-obsessed, and dismissive of larger society,” as Cathy O’Neil puts it in a searing essay on tech futurism.

“Ultimately,” O’Neil concludes, “this is all about power and influence.” If we took Fried’s arguments seriously, we might actually do something about that—by reining in the power of the rich, say, and shoring up the welfare of the rest. The relentless libertarian demand to parse personal responsibility, Fried’s essay makes clear, keeps distracting us from changing the organization of society—except perhaps to build more prisons.

Mit dem Herzen denken … To think with the heart

Stella, oh, Stella

Foto Wikepedia, Albert Schweitzer 1955

Heute habe ich einmal wieder einige Worte von dem Arzt, Theologen und Humanisten Albert Schweitzer (1875 – 1965).

… Today I have some words again for you by physician, theologist and humanist Albert Schweitzer (1875 – 1965).

*******************************************************************

Mit dem Herzen zu denken, ist die rechte Art für die Menschen.

Dies ist das denknotwendige, universelle, absolute Grundprinzip des Ethischen.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

AH, UM SONETO…

Meu coração é um almirante louco

Que abandonou a profissão do mar

E que a vai relembrando pouco a pouco

Em casa a passear a passear…

No movimento ( eu mesmo me desloco)

Nesta cadeira, só de imaginar)

O mar abandonado fica em foco

Nos músculos cansados de parar.

Há saudades nas pernas e nos braços.

há saudades no cérebro por fora.

Há grandes raiva feitas de cansaços.

Mas – esta é boa! – era do coração

Que eu falava…e onde diabo estou agora

Com almirante em vez de sensação?…

Álvaro de Campos. AH, UM SONETO…
