The dispute is not between reality and fantasy, but between meaning and nonsense
For many years, in the context of my studies in philosophy, theology and comparative religions, I focused on understanding the difference between reality and fantasy, between what it is and what it seems to be, between what is present and what appears. And although those efforts were sincere and aca…
La disputa no es entre realidad y fantasía, sino entre sentido y sinsentido
Durante muchos años, en el marco de mis estudios en filosofía, teología y religiones comparadas, me enfoqué en entender la diferencia entre realidad y fantasía, entre lo que es y lo que parece ser, entre lo que se muestra y lo que ilusiona. Y aunque esos esfuerzos fueron sinceros y académicamente vá…
We live in such a meaningless world that we even want to make sense of nonsense
We live in an interesting time when, because nothing makes sense, no narrative is acceptable to us and no explanation convinces us, we seek to make sense of nonsense, without even becoming aware of the paradoxical and contradictory nature of that action.
It is clear that our uncultured culture, o…
Tanto hemos perdido el sentido que hasta queremos darle sentido al sinsentido
Vivimos en una época interesante en la que, como nada ya tiene sentido, ninguna narrativa nos resulta aceptable, ninguna explicación nos convence, buscamos entonces darle sentido al sinsentido, sin siquiera tomar consciencia de lo paradójico y contradictorio de esa acción.

And, whether we accept it or not, …

Si realmente abriésemos nuestras mentes, corazones y voluntad y viésemos la realidad en vez de sólo ver y perpetuar nuestra ideología, si dejásemos que el futuro emerja en vez de insistir en vivir dentro de una cámara de eco escondida, entonces veríamos que estamos presenciando el final de la educac…
How absurd is to assume that the absurdity is abnormal!
Recently, I decided to make the monthly payment of my credit card by phone (I was not near a computer at that time), and, to complete that task, I had to digitally enter numerous personal information, including part of my credit card number, and my date of birth, telephone and zip code. But that was…

Recientemente, por cuestiones de comodidad del momento, decidí hacer el pago mensual de mi tarjeta de crédito por teléfono, y, para completar esa tarea, tuve que entrar digitalmente numerosa información personal, incluyendo número de tarjeta, fecha de nacimiento, teléfono y código postal.
