WHAT WE NEED IS TRUE CAPITALISM

UNFORTUNATELY MEXICO IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE US ECONOMY.
THEREFORE EVERY KEY MACROECONOMIC INDICATOR HAS PLUNGED IN THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR. THE PESO IS LOOSING GROUND AGAINST THE DOLLAR AND INVESTMENTS ARE FLYING OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
ON TOP OF THAT MEXICO IS A COUNTRY WHERE PRETENTIOUS POLITICIANS AND CORRUPT CORPORATE POWER MAKE THE MATTERS FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON.

I BELIEVE THAT THE RISE OF EASY CREDIT IN THE US WAS FOR THE MOST PART THE MAIN REASON OF THE DEBACLE OF THE US ECONOMY. MEXICO IS IMITATING THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR, BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T EARN ANY WHERE CLOSE TO OUR NORTH AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS.
SO PEOPLE TAKE LOANS AND END UP PAYING INTEREST THAT COULD BE TAKING OVER A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF THEIR PAYCHECK.

I DIGRESS, THE PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN MEXICO AND GLOBALLY IS THAT WE HAVE USED ONLY PART OF THE BASIC FUNDAMENTS THAT CAPITALISM WAS BUILT ON. AS KEN WILBER POINTS OUT WE HAVE CONCENTRATED IN THE IT ASPECT OF GROWTH WHICH IS MATERIAL AND TANGIBLE. WHAT WE NEED IS TO RESUSCITATE THE NOTION OF MUTUAL BENEVOLENCE.

THE ECONOMY IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT MOVES THIS WORLD, BUT LETS NOT FORGET THAT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY SHOULD BE WITH PURPOSE. SO FAR NO ONE HAS YET DELIVER A PURPOSE OF GROWING FASTER AND MORE EVERY YEAR. I AM AFRAID THAT IS LIKE THE OLD TALE OF THE BABYLON TOWER. IF WE KEEP ON GROWING WITH OUT OUTLINING THE PURPOSE OF SUCH GROWTH, IT COMES TO MY MIND THAT WE WILL COLLAPSE ON OUR OWN JUST AS THE BABYLONIANS DID.

TOE

Last night I watched two episodes of a documentary about Stephen Hawkins struggle to find a theory of everything. I was really blown away by some of the content, nevertheless I think he is mistaken in naming it theory of everything because it is really about something in particular, namely the creation of the universe.

Einstein also tried to come up with a TOE and he died trying to come up with it. Again he was also focusing on a mathematical way to explain everything which is nonsense.

Ken Wilber is pushing for a more integral theory of everything, but in the end any given theory of "everything" is indeed about everything dealing with certain aspects, but it would never cover everything. For that reason I believe that more than a theory of everything we need solid "general" fundamentals that would allow us the privilege to be fallible in order to make the necessary adaptations to the available knowledge.

In any case, I also believe that since our nature is temporal in essence it would be impossible to uncover things that go far beyond our time line development.
That despite the common say that some intellectuals are ahead of their times, yes is true, but they are ahead of something that they are exposed to. That is we cannot solve problems that we are not aware of... something big coming... Soon?

The latests news!

1. I burn myself with the iron machine.
2. i came to a sudden halt while ridding my skateboard and I hit the ground pretty hard.
3. It hurts!!!

long long long long lolololololololong gone...

...And for the millionth time. I am back! I am back and I am an upgraded version. I am proud to say that now I am Mismo 2.0 beta (if you have a Mac then you'll never get me to work ha haha).
What am I up to?
Well now I am trying hard to get a job... maybe hardly trying.
I also managed to conquer my chief editor and now I live with her in downtown.
That in itself is pretty kick ass. Specially this summer because all the construction work around here makes me feel like I am in a bigger city. I only need to see the rats running around to feel like the ultimate cosmopolitan. I swear I had come with the most amazing gags to write about but they have vanished because I did not materialize them... so I have got nothing to deliver for now only words and more words. At this point if you keep reading you can tell that I am getting nowhere...
Let's now take some time to do an introspective exercise:
1. pick a word
2. repeat the word until it makes no sense
3. think about the word so much that you awareness makes you escape the material world
4. welcome to you radical nothingness through which you create and stablish meaning to everything!

I told you! I am coming back hard and more confusing than ever!

Beers, Tests, Swine Flu, and Graduation

I guess those are the topics that mostly roam my brain... I guess my girlfriend would sat that I spend 99% of the time thinking about being on a boat 9 if you know what I am saying). I am not sure how the finals week is at other Colleges, but here it seems to be inconsistent across disciplines. For example Science students are crazy busy and so are the people taking keystone classes. Business students are pretty calm, unless you are taking accounting. Music and Art majors are for the most part resting out from their senior shows. Me? This year I decided to push my limits to the extreme. I wanted to attend as many social events as possible. I figured it was doable since I have been keeping up with my classes... except finance. In any case I did partied it up on the weekend and I paid the high price of a terrible hungover. So know I am crunching in some precalc and tomorrow I'll have to dominate the art of osmosis to learn everything I know for my test on Thursday.
This picture demonstrates how someone can learn by osmosis. I hope it works!

Legacy

Tonight current and future members of the homemade crew gathered to chat about next year's ambitions. I stepped in the meeting with the usual irreverence, and I feel bad now ha haha. So as a part of the goodbye to the team I want to spell out my legacy.
When I joined the team I was not so sure how to manage myself to write thingies on a wall for the school. Soon I realized that the site gave me power to raise my concerns and to point out to the bad. YES I COMPLAIN A LOT, AND YES I MANY TIMES DON'T CARE TO REVISE FOR SPELLING OR PERFECT GRAMMAR... believe me I know! In any case the only reason I brought anything to light in this wall was because I love Augsburg. My intentions we purely in the best interest of the College because I want to make of it a better place for the people that are yet to come to this wonderful lab of amazing individuals. In any case this little space only caused so much controversy mainly in selected circles of the school and never broadly and that's cool. I hope someone picks up on that after 05/01/2009

Thanks Homemade and thanks Augsburg.
