Colombia: las razones de la guerra

Jorge Orlando Melo

..., en la Conquista era lícito matar a los indios. En la Colonia, la violencia contra los rebeldes era permitida. En la Independencia, era válida para reemplazar al tirano, y en el siglo XIX, para eliminar el enemigo político. En los últimos 60 años, se le ha defendido como legítima para destruir un régimen opresivo, y en respuesta, para defenderse de la violencia subversiva.

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now Jaron Lanier 'Behaviors of Users Modified, and Made into an Empire for Rent' BUMMER.

In doing so, we can foster new ways of thinking about our digital-analog future. But what stories should we tell? How do we deal with the myriad issues raised by our smartphones? - privacy, autonomy, addiction, surveillance, precarity, narcissism, commodification, democracy. A growing number of voices are weighing in on these questions, which is a good thing because, unlike the techno-determinists who until recently have received a disproportionate amount of airtime, it assumes that we can do something. If our future is not to be Silicon Valley´s Dis-Utopia then what is it to be? What is our version of Utopia? Or a more manageable question, What relationship should we have with the technology and corporations that have, largely through our smartphones, come to play a central role in ...
