Alemanha - Brasil

A diferença fundamental e crítica nas 'estruturas industriais', entre Alemanha_Brasil que explícita a natureza do chamado Desenvolvimento Econômico_Paulo Gala.
País rico, não é aquele com abundância de recursos naturais.
País rico, é aquele que cria conhecimentos, mercados e faz uso de 'força de trabalho' qualificado, resultante de massivos investimentos em níveis educacionais de C, T & I, vinculando conhecimento com Indústria.

Tá legal ? Falta muito ao Brasil.

Althusser

"Certainly, there has never been anything quite like it. Prompted in part by an article in Le Monde that sardonically compared Althusser to Issei Sagawa, the young Japanese student who became a darling of the media after murdering and eating his Dutch girlfriend, the book can only be read as an act of wilful self-destruction, a unique example of what might be called 'posthumous suicide', both personal and professional. If the emperor is seen to be wearing no clothes, it's because he himself elected to strip naked in public."

A incoerência do conservativismo

The Intellectual Incoherence of Conservatism

  • broken_chain_locks.jpg
03/04/2005Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Modern conservatism, in the United States and Europe, is confused and distorted. Under the influence of representative democracy and with the transformation of the U.S. and Europe into mass democracies from World War I, conservatism was transformed from an anti-egalitarian, aristocratic, anti-statist ideological force into a movement of culturally conservative statists: the right wing of the socialists and social democrats.

Mentiras

The New York Times has been lying to the American public about Soviet Russia for a very long time.  In the 1930s, when 25,000 Ukrainians a day were starving to death, the New York Times Moscow correspondent Walter Duranty misinformed his readers that “there is no famine . . . nor is there likely to be” (NYT, Nov. 15, 1931).  “Any report of a famine in Russia is . . . malignant propaganda,” wrote the Soviet stooge who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for this “reporting” (NYT, Aug. 23, 1933).  Stalin himself publicly thanked Duranty for his work.  To its everlasting shame, the Pulitzer committee refused to rescind Duranty’s prize when in 2003 a campaign was waged to get it to do so.

Desigualdade de género

"In another test, called the ultimatum game, one player received $10 and then decided how much of it to offer to a partner. (Let’s say the first player suggests, “$8 for me, $2 for you.” If the respondent accepts the offer, that’s what each gets. If the respondent is offended by the unequal division or dislikes it for any other reason, he or she may refuse, and then no one gets anything.)
"The depressing news was this: Both men and women made lower offers, on average, when th...e responder was female. Male proposers offered an average of $4.73 to male respondents, but only $4.43 to women. More painful yet was the behavior of female proposers, who, on average, offered $5.13 to men but only $4.31 to women. It seems that women were seen as softies who were willing to settle for less — and the discrimination was worse coming from the women themselves."

Humor e linguagem

"Nicola McLelland, German linguistics professor at the UK’s University of Nottingham, believes that the way different languages are constructed can affect the way various cultures deliver and perceive jokes.
"It’s harder to pun in German when the grammar makes things so much less ambiguous
"She explained that humour commonly uses ambiguity in word interpretation and sentence construction to create alternative meanings, which can add comical elements to a situation. For exampl...e, the phrase ‘we saw her duck’ has a dual meaning: either that we saw a duck that belonged to her, or we saw her in the act of ducking away from harm.
"However, German’s language construct can be very different. Nouns can have three different genders and four different cases. Verbs also have a lot of different forms. The exact meaning of a sentence relies on the correct use of gender and case pertained to the eventual meaning, affecting how humour can be delivered. Basically, it’s harder to pun in German when the grammar makes things so much less ambiguous.
"But what the German language does have, however, is the ability to create compounds.
"German is one of the few languages where the use of compound words – words made up of multiple individual words, such as schadenfreude, which puts together schaden (harm) and freude (pleasure) – is common. Compound words often can’t be directly translated into other languages, so jokes made with compound words simply won’t be funny to non-German speakers.
"Professor McLelland explained this to me with an example:
"Jokes made with compound words simply won’t be funny to non-German speakers
"“Why can’t you pick up your watch if you’ve dropped it? Because no Urheberrecht.”
"She explained that Urheberrecht means ‘copyright’, but is also a compound word with a literal meaning of ‘watch-pickup-right’.
"See how this joke just doesn’t work in English? In fact, this ability of the German language to be extremely concise perhaps explains why even a good German speaker of English might sound a bit overly precise in English – which can add to the impression that Germans are more earnest than funny."

Ideologia e linguagem

"As ideologias destroem a linguagem, uma vez que, tendo perdido o contato com a realidade, o pensador ideológico passa a construir símbolos não mais para expressá-la, mas para expressar sua alienação em relação a ela.”
