Édgar, el paciente cero →
“Edgar Enrique Hérnandez, un niño de cinco años de La Gloria (México), ha sido identificado ‘oficialmente’ como el primer afectado por el virus H1N1.”
Y digo yo… ¿seguro que no se trata de otro Edgar que vive en México?

Broken Koans and other Zen debris →
This is the kind of primal truth that runs background in one’s mind until some -deceivingly- simplistic exercise of thought puts it into words and then a few unexplained things make sense. To me, at least.
dailymeh:
I know almost nothing about Buddhism, but I found this “broken koan” poignant: a student is complaining that other students, through various means, gain enlightenment, but he...

They're made out of Meat →
“There’s no doubt about it. We picked several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”
“That’s impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars.”
“They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don’t come from them. The signals...

A Future Timeline of Humanity and the Universe →
For years, this has been one of my favorite websites. Favorite in the 1.0 way: a static, rarely updated page one can visit from time to time, without any “hot” new content to assimilate but a long, well documented, carefully pre-written essay.

On women, men, sex and customs →
“Not only are our desires wrong, they are also risible. To start at the bottom of the moral chain, in a trade which knows precisely what people want, a porn film of a woman masturbating is considered both erotic and inherently beautiful; a man wanking is risible and vile, conjuring images of the unsprung sofa, the scattered pizza cartons, the solitary sock for afterwards....

Turismo
“Tal como yo lo veo, al alma probablemente le siente bien ser turista, aunque sea sólo muy de vez en cuando. No digo que le siente bien de una forma refrescante o iluminadora, sino más bien de una forma sombría, severa, estilo “Miremos los hechos con franqueza y encontremos una forma de abordarlos”. Mi experiencia personal no me ha demostrado nunca que viajar por el país amplíe...

“Mon 3/20/00 3:40 PM
Subject: I Dress for Combat
In the Art of War, Sun Tzu states that intimidation is the only acceptable initial impression one can give his opponent.
