Las cosas suceden de una forma rara

Cuan curioso puede ser un momento y cambiarlo en un instante. Siguiendo con las relaciones interpersonales pienzo que debe ser extraña la forma en que las cosas se pusieron en marcha. Un día estas en una situación y al siguiente se ponen raras y despues las dejas pasar de largo inclusive sin poner resistencia se pasan simplemente de largo....

R-S-O You scored 22% Non-Reductionism, 33% Epistemological Absolutism, and 66% Moral Objectivism!

You are an R-S-O: a metaphysical Reductionist, an epistemological Skeptic, and a moral Objectivist. What does this all mean? Well, keep reading to find out. Metaphysics: Reductionism (Monism or Positivism) In metaphysics, my test measures your tendency towards Reductionism or Non-Reductionism. As a Reductionist, you like to cut away the metaphysical fat as opposed to multiplying concepts and entities like so many baby rabbits. The two broad categories of Reductionists that my test recognizes are Monists and Positivists. 1. Monists do not cut away the metaphysical fat so much as they just put the meat into a grinder and synthesize the fat into the meat. They tend to condense particular things and ideas into a Unity or Absolute, in other words. If you believe that reality is ultimately a unity and that mind and matter both exist but are simply two different ways of looking at the same substance, then you are a neutral monist in the sense of Spinoza. If you believe that reality is ultimately an Absolute because a whole is more than just the sum of its parts, proven by the fact that we can never have knowledge of a particular thing unless we also grasp its relations to the ultimate Absolute or whole of reality with which it is bound up, and if you feel that this Absolute is characterized by Spirit or Mind, and not matter, then you share the same views as Hegel and even Plato to a degree. A monist--because he or she believes that reality is a Unity or Absolute--tends to synthesize all particulars into universals, deny the reality of matter (Hegel) or mind (Spinoza, sort of), and so on. These concepts are all cast into the meat grinder and come out as a unified whole. Famous monists include philosophers such as Hegel, Spinoza, and Parmenides. If none of the above sounded like you, then you are most definitely the other type of Reductionist. 2. Positivists, unlike monists, do not synthesize two apparently competing views into one--instead, they do away with one of the views, that being the one that cannot be empirically verified. A positivist, then, cuts away the metaphysical fat as meaningless conjecture about nothing in particular. He relies primarily on a tool called Ockham's Razor to shave away these ideas. Ockham's Razor states that we should do away with any hypotheses that needlessly multiply explanatory entities. For instance, in regards to the dispute about the existence of universals, a positivist tends to adopt the position of nominalism--which is the belief that only particulars are real. A universal is only a linguistic construction we use to put particulars into groups--meaning we can reduce all universals to the sum of their parts, that being particulars. After all, we can never have empirical experience of "whiteness", only particular things that are white--nor have we ever observed the universal "mankind", though we can observe individual men. On the mind-body problem, a positivist will be likely to do away with the concept of "mind", reducing it to a material product of our brain functioning. This position is often referred to as the Identity-Theory, because it equates mental states to states of the brain. Clearly, a positivist tends towards a materialistic outlook. Positivism will also revile any idealist conception of reality, which maintains that the world of experience and perception is merely a phenomenal world, whereas the "real" world lies underneath experience and is fundamentally unknowable. A positivist will tend to do away with the idealist hypothesis as needless and unverifiable. Well-known positivists include Carnap, Ayer, and Wittgenstein. ***** Epistemology: Skepticism (Idealism or Subjectivism) In regards to epistemology, my test measures your tendency towards Absolutism or Skepticism. As an epistemological Skeptic, you believe that ultimate reality cannot be known in any objective way. The two categories of Skeptics that my test recognizes are Idealists and Subjectivists. 1. Epistemological Idealists believe that knowledge of ultimate reality is impossible. All we can ever have knowledge about is the world of phenomenal human experience, but there is no reason to suspect that reality mirrors our perceptions and thoughts, according to Idealists. Idealists, then, tend to see truth not as a correspondence between propositions and reality--reality is, after all, fundamentally unknowable--but as a coherence between a whole system of propositions taken to be true. We cannot escape from language or our conceptualized world of phenomena, so we are unable to reference propositions to facts and must instead determine their truth by comparing them to other propositions we hold to be true. As a result of such an idealism, knowledge of any ultimate reality is taken to be impossible, hence the Skeptical tendency of idealism. All our pursuits of knowledge, science included, can only reflect a phenomenal reality that is of our own making. Famous idealists include Kant and Fichte. If the above did not sound skeptical or idealistic enough to reflect your own views, then you are most likely a Subjectivist. 2. Epistemological Subjectivists, like idealists, believe that all our knowledge is ultimately of our own making because it is filtered through our subjective perceptions. Unlike an idealist, though, a subjectivist doesn't believe in any universal categories of "truth" that apply to the phenomenal world, because each individual can create his own truth. Either that, or he will hold that society or custom creates its own forms of truth. A subjectivist will tend to regard scientific inquiry as a game of sorts--science does not reveal truths about reality, but only gives scientists pseudo-solutions to pseudo-problems of the scientific community's own devising. It is a type of puzzle-solving, but the puzzle isn't of reality. The definition of truth to a subjectivist may be one that recognizes a proposition's usefulness to an individual. William James is one such subjectivist, who believes that we can "will to believe" certain propositions so long as we would find them useful. The example he gives is being found in a situation where you must leap over a chasm in order to survive. The true belief, in such a situation, is that the leap will be successful--this truth is certainly more useful to us, and in believing the truth we become more willing to commit to the jump and make it successful. So, in essence, knowledge of reality is possible for a subjectivist because they never make reference to any objective reality existing outside of our own perceptions and beliefs--we can have knowledge of reality through having knowledge of ourselves, and that is all that we should ask for. Famous subjectivists include Kuhn, Feyarabend, and James. Another famed critic of Absolutism is Hume. ***** Ethics: Objectivism (Deontology or Logical Positivism) In Ethics, my test measures your tendency towards moral Objectivism or moral Relativism. As a moral Objectivist, you are opposed to Subjectivist moral theories and believe that morality applies to people universally and actually describes objects and situations out in the world as opposed to just subjects themselves. The two types of moral Objectivists my test recognizes are Kantian Deontologists and Utilitarians. 1. Kantian Deontologists believe that the one intrinsic good is a good will. As rational beings capable of making decisions, the moral worth of our decisions is ultimately derived from the intentions behind our actions, not their consequences. A moral being does the right thing not out of recognition of any consequences, but out of a sense of moral duty. For Kant, a good will is the ultimate good because to deny the will is to deny the one thing that makes us rational, moral beings. If an act will accord with or further our status as free, rational beings, and it is possible to will the universalization of such a moral principle without infringing upon our good wills, then an act is good. Kant's categorical imperative provides an objective standard to judge moral worth--it is not hypothetical in the sense of other imperatives, which hide a latent if-clause. For instance, "Eating razors is good" is good ONLY if you tack on an if-clause that says something like: "If you wish to destroy your gums." Thus, the categorical imperative is good, not just IF something is the case, but in ALL cases. It requires people to treat others as ends, and not means to ends, for to treat everyone as a means to an ends would be to deny them their ability to function as rational, free beings--which is what makes morality possible in the first place. The major propnent of this view in the history of philosophy is, quite obviously, Kant. If that didn't sound like your position, then you are probably the other variety of moral Objectivist--the Utilitarian. 2. Utilitarians define "happiness" or "pleasure" as the sole intrinsic good, and the principle "The greatest pleasure for the greatest number" best reflects a Utilitarian view of ethics. Utilitarianism is a consequentialist moral theory, meaning the consequences of an action--not the intentions behind it--determine the act's moral worth. Even if you intended to do great evil with a certain act, if the act produces a net gain of pleasure and happiness for the greatest number, then it was indeed a good act because your intentions weren't realized. What matters in this scenario, obviously, is the consequences of the act. Utilitarianism, of course, can also be reduced to Hedonism. If you do not feel that the greatest happiness of the greatest number matters, but only pay heed to the greatest happiness of individuals, then you are more adequately classified as a Hedonist. But both Utilitarians and Hedonists define "pleasure" as an intrinsic good and determine the moral worth of an act through its consequences. The only difference is whether we measure the collective pleasure of a group or only an individual's pleasure. Prominent Utilitarians include Bentham and Mill. ***** As you can see, when your philosophical position is narrowed down there are so many potential categories that an OKCupid test cannot account for them all. But, taken as very broad categories or philosophical styles, you are best characterized as an R-S-O. Your exact philosophical opposite would be an N-A-R.

Hippie You are 14% Rational, 85% Extroverted, 28% Brutal, and 42% Arrogant.

You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, humility, and a faint scent of marijuana, you no doubt frolic through fields preaching peace and free love! Immediately following that, you then frolic to the hospital with herpes! You are probably either very spiritual or needlessly paranoid about "the man", like most hippies, as a result of your focus on intuition and feelings over cold, brutal logic. You probably enjoy poetry, especially beatnik ultra-liberal crap about how horrible fascism is, even though your suburbanized, sheltered idea of "fascism" is having to pay two dollars per gallon at the gas pump. You are also very, very social. And like any hippie who would have no qualms about hitchiking across the country just to meet some interesting people, you also love to interact with others, even complete strangers. Though I highly doubt they love to interact with you! Because we know most any hippie is peace-loving and humble, it stands to reason that you, as well, are terribly gentle and humble, almost to the point of revulsion. Your carefree attitude of peace and harmony is probably very, very sickening to realists or cynics or anyone who isn't a hippie, to tell the truth. In short, your personality is defective because you are overly emotional, extroverted, gentle, and humble--thus making you an annoying hippie. Now go do your drugs and have sex with filthy bearded men in tye dye shirts. To put it less negatively: 1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational. 2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Sociopath. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Televangelist, and the Robot. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits. The other personality types: The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

Cantera verde

Feliz cumpleaños mi furry del alma

Feliz cumpleaños el día de hoy a mi amor, te quiero muchisimo José Manuel. Te mando abrazos y besos. Que te la pases muy cool cariño.

las funciones del ego y la matematica universal

Todo gira alrededor de tres ideas, el miedo, vacio y silencio.
Todo a mi alrededor es así una gran marea de formas que se destrozan inminentemente.
Esto no es necesariamente sierto a todos los niveles. Solo en el penzamiento; mi penzamiento esta formado de miles de capas inciertas moviles deciertas en algunos puntos.
Tan tagencial como debil esta creencia de que se esta en lo cierto. Silencio desbocado consecutivo.
Tremenda visita enclaustrada. Pensamientos inquietos y la manía de querer tener algo estable. Y la incesante pregunta ¿creo lo que vivo?

Expo de Escultura para el 25 de Mayo

Les invito a mi expocición de escultura proxima a realizarse es una muestra colectiva que se hara con el objeto de demostrar como se encuentran los alumnos empezando un taller de escultura con el escultor Sebastian. Los espero. Será en la fundación sebastian por ahí de las 7pm no falten. Direccion de la fundacion AV. Patriotismo numero 304, Col. San Pedro de los pinos entre calle 5 y 7.

Las cosas otra vez se ponen locas

Todos los dias cosas por hacer..momentos de vacio llenos de algo que no comprendo. Solo se que debo seguir y la pregunta entonces es: ¿Vivo lo que creo? La respuesta sigue en incognita la matematica universal me llama. El silencio esta lejos por ahora.

Lejos una vez mas

Ultimamente me estaba quejando de la inactividad, pues mis suplicas fueron escuchadas y pues...ahora casi no tengo tiempo para nada, estoy muy ocupada y me da gusto estar así.

Sin la vista

Lejos indagando dentro de lo que no soy.
Perdiendome en el vacio del andar.
Tendría que hacer una mezcla de las emociones que siento por todos.
Haciendo conteo de todo y esas imagenes no dejan de llegar a mi mente, vacio, lejanía, silencio, mutación.
Un mono en el espacio, un mono más. Una página de internet donde esta mi vida registrada desde antes que yo fuera yo...pesadilla sin duda.

Resiviendo a la primavera

La unidad humana, la unidad espiritual. La conciencia colectiva trabajando para el fin común. Una Serpiente emergiendo le la tierra. Nos movemos con los ojos cerrados. Todo es un acto de fe. La vida en si es un acto de fe. Mau n_n

Sin sentido

Aún el día de hoy, no encuentro las respuestas para muchas cosas.
Donde parace la duda no aparece mi silencio.
Una vez mas me encuentro desfasada de mi misma.
El silencio, utopía milagrosa que cura las heridas, mi alma va por los senderos una vez estoy en el camino.
Lejos del tiempo, dentro de mi misma.
La síntesis puede ser un don. Por lo menos eso dicen de los grandes genios plásticos. Pero no de las palabras y la expreción de las florecientes rosas.
En la biblioteca vuelan mariposas, las lenguas se vuelven papel. Y tus ojos se pierden en la eterna luz del progreso tecnológico, mi alma se pierde en tí. Silencio rojo. Para la textura blanda.
Un día nos encantaremos juntos.

Los momentos se terminan

Todos estamos sumergidos en esta carrera casi irracional.
Formas dolorosas convertidas en mil mariposas, vuelan lejos dejando una estela de delicada a su paso.
Yo quiero creer que las cosas cambiaran.

Mi amarillo antes de ser muy callejero

Sabado por la noche

Después de mucho recluirme salgo un sabado por la noche, por qué? es una cosa relativamente sencilla de explicar. Mi hermana Momo menor de 21 años se precenta hoy en un rave haciendo un set live junto con Ayamil. Han trabajando mucho en esta presentación y hoy por fin después de casi dos meses de preparativos van a llevar a todos nosotros su trabajo artístico.
Luego pondre fotografías de el evento a ver que tal les parece el ambiente. Y chance algúna grabación para el deleite de todos. XP hehehe

Palabras sabias

Proverbio hindú

A los ignorantes los aventajan los que leen libros.
A Éstos, los que retienen lo leído.
A Éstos, los que comprenden lo leído.
A Éstos, los que ponen manos a la obra."

Si no tienes palabras utiles mejor guarda silecio

silencio...
