Fidel sobre Lula
“Nunca fue un extremista de izquierda, ni ascendió a la condición de revolucionario a partir de posiciones filosóficas, sino de las de un obrero de origen muy humilde y fe cristiana, que trabajó duramente creando plusvalía para otros.”

People read “simulation” and think Baudrillard, but the Church has its own vocabulary for these concerns, and has been pondering idolatry, illusion, mediation, false likeness, crowd passions, hardened hearts, and estrangement from reality for two millennia.
One could even say that Baudrillard is, partly, a late secular dramatisation of problems long identified by Christian anthropology.
Replying to @Pontifex
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Late Thursday night, I canvassed the taxi line at LaGuardia — and caught up with some old friends from @NYTWA.

The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe

.@davidrkadler's mother tells me: "David is now in an Israeli prison and his US senators (Schiff and Padilla) are not being helpful. The EU is all over the prison and our embassy has not shown up at all."
Hey, @SenAdamSchiff and @AlexPadilla4CA. A constituent of yours is in a foreign prison for trying to draw the world's attention to mass starvation and slaughter.
His Jewish mother is sick with worry. Maybe you should do something about David's imprisonment--and the imprisonment and destruction of two million people in Gaza.
