A Book

Well, I use to read a lot of things for the career, and I used to underline the important things. Fortunately I can't underline when I am travel in the minibuses, so I read another things.
Now I'm reading a text of Paul Feyerabend called '¿Por qué no Platon?' or 'Why not Plato?' in English (I can't really find how the text is called in English, the original was in writed in german). In this book, Feyerabend talks about the science, and how it was worked in the last centuries. The book consist in somes essays and conferences of this man.
Well, Paul maintain that the science produces knowledge, but that his method is not superior than the magic or religions. He talks about how the specialist are really dogmatics, and how the science, even when traits to show itself like the truth, make a lots of mistakes, and often try to apply his authority to areas in that don't have any knowledge, like the education, when the science is teached like an absolute true.
Feyerabend defends that the scientist are humans and they have a point of view affected by social facts, that they have really childish behaviors and usually they don't want to accept their errors, and that their authority is unfounded.
Anyway, he doesn't try to destroy the science, he only thinks that we need more points of view. That the child can learn about chemistry in the schools, but they can also decide learn about alchemy too. He says that know the different point of view allow us to criticise the paradigms among them, and the possibility of choose for ourselves the way to resolve different problems or look the things (something like what happens in the social sciences, where a lot of points of view study a same thing).

I Think that is an interesting proposal. At first look it sounds really crazy, but in the book he has their arguments, and they resolve the different questions and problems that this ideas can create. I recommend it a lot.

Celebrations

I think that really never was in a big festival, maybe because they don't attract me a lot. Maybe some celebrations like the new years in the ñuñoa square with some friends, and a lot of concerts, even one where in the line, the people begins to drinks alcohol and suddenly they throw the cans of beer trough the air, and there was raining beer.

But well, I think that the last special celebration that I remember was a travel that I do with my best friend to Valparaíso. We stay in a house of a friend of her. Her family was all musicians, I remember a spanish man who was exactly like the Quijote, but with a guitar instead of a spear.
I remember that we go to a bar, and sings all the songs that was playing in the place. I was a little drunk and unintentionally I enter to the girls bathroom, I didn't noticed it until I leave.

There we travel to the streets. We see a lots of mural, they seems really different in the night.
I remember that we talk with a lot of people that we meet there. Even it wasn't a special date, the streets was full of people celebrating.
At least, we go home to sleep. In the morning the householder wake up us with some natural orange juice, very good to the hangover. It was really great.

I think that this is all that I can speak about that day.

(Now that I remember good, I guess that I have been in some festivals and celebrations, but that would be write in other blog).
