Israel podrá tener mucha potencia de fuego, pero ya no más poder de
convicción y de aparecer como un "estado"
"democrático" y "civilizado" frente a los salvajes
"terroristas"

- "Our sources in Gaza report that Israeli soldiers have
entered and taken up positions in a number of Palestinian homes, forcing
families to stay in a ground-floor room while they use the rest of their
house as a military base and sniper position," said Malcolm
Smart, Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Program
director.

Un relato muy angustiante de la conquista de América
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS AND THE INDIANS
by Howard Zinn
http://www.newhumanist.com/md2.html
[Howard Zinn is an author and lecturer. His most noted work, from which
this selection is excerpted, is A People's History of the United
States.]
- Columbus wrote:
- "As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island which I
found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might learn
and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts."
The information that Columbus wanted most was: Where is the gold?
- The Indians, Columbus reported, "are so naive and so free with
their possessions that no one who has not witnessed them would believe
it. When you ask for something they have, they never say no. To the
contrary, they offer to share with anyone...." He concluded his
report by asking for a little help from their Majesties, and in return he
would bring them from his next voyage "as much gold as they need . .
. and as many slaves as they ask." He was full of religious talk:
"Thus the eternal God, our Lord, gives victory to those who follow
His way over apparent impossibilities."

los indígenas. |

El premio Nobel de economía explica cómo trabaja:
- HOW I WORK
- My formal charge in this essay is to talk about my "life
philosophy". Let me make it clear at the outset that I have no
intention of following instructions, since I don't know anything special
about life in general. I believe it was Schumpeter who claimed to be not
only the best economist, but also the best horseman and the best lover in
his native Austria. I don't ride horses, and have few illusions on other
scores. (I am, however, a pretty good cook).
- What I want to talk about in this essay is something more restricted:
some thoughts about thinking, and particularly how to go about doing
interesting economics. I think that among economists of my generation I
can claim to have a fairly distinctive intellectual style -- not
necessarily a better style than my colleagues, for there are many ways to
be a good economist, but one that has served me well. The essence of
that style is a general research strategy that can be summarized in a few
rules; I also view my more policy-oriented writing and speaking as
ultimately grounded in the same principles. I'll get to my rules for
research later in this essay. I think I can best introduce those rules,
however, by describing how (it seems to me) I stumbled into the way I
work.

Gut
Decisions May Not Be Smart
By DEIRDRE VAN DYK
- It was this last bit of advice sleep on it espoused in a paper by
Dutch researchers and published in the journal Science in 2006, that
really irked Ben Newell, a researcher himself at the University of New
South Wales in Australia. That paper suggested that people might be
better off relying on unconscious deliberation to make complex decisions
despite an abundance of scientific evidence to the contrary given
that the human brain can reasonably only focus on a few things at a time.
Once people have all the necessary information to make a decision, the
paper found, too much conscious deliberation could lead to unnecessary
attention given to extraneous factors.
- Newell's answer to the Science paper is called "Think, Blink or
Sleep on It? The Impact of Modes of Thought on Complex Decision
Making," co-authored with colleagues at the University of New South
Wales and the University of Essex in England, and published in the most
recent issue of the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. It took
four experiments to make the point, but Newell's conclusion is that
unconscious deliberation is no more effective
than conscious deliberation using lists of pros vs. cons,
for example for making complex decisions, and that if anything,
people who deliberate methodically are better
off. "If you have to make
decisions, you have to do your homework," says Newell. "There
is no magic unconscious."
