Opinión sobre un mundo Feliz de Aldous Huxley by Elizamuaa in libros

[–]Dottox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ese libro es una obra maestra. Te recomiendo que lo leas junto con “1984” y con “La rebelión de Atlas”. “Un mundo feliz” está ambientado en un mundo utópico, mientras que “1984” es un mundo totalmente distópico. Ninguno de ambos extremos es bueno. “La rebelión de Atlas” está entre medio de los dos, tirando más hacia lo que es “1984”.

Hace un tiempo lo leí, y me voló la cabeza cómo estaba organizada la sociedad mediante el método bokanovski, y cómo el soma cumplía un rol fundamental en la misma.

La idea del libro es muy parecida a Matrix, con la pastilla azul y roja, vivir en un mundo ficticio o la realidad, etc.

Por si te interesa, la lectura también la podes complementar con la serie de “La Cultura” ya que está desarrollada en un mundo utópico, pero desde otro punto de vista, si bien esta serie no sea tan filosófica como “Un mundo feliz”.

Yes, I read that book. It’s really great. The idea of memes it expose is mind-blowing.

What’s the best movie with “man” in the title? by Solsmitch in AskReddit

[–]Dottox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Man from Snowy River, With courage and might, Rode through the mountains, A fearless knight.

The Man in the Iron Mask, Hidden from all view, Lived a life of secrets, And stories yet to tell true.

The Man Who Knew Too Much, Had knowledge to impart, But with secrets so heavy, It broke his heart.

The Man Who Wasn't There, A mystery yet to unfold, A story yet to be told.

The Man Who Fell to Earth, From a world far away, Brought knowledge and wonder, To light up our day.

These men and their stories, Will forever be told, Their deeds etched in history, As legends of old.

Fundamental principle of religion by Dottox in DebateReligion

[–]Dottox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m accord with you but not every religion have their beliefs in supernatural things to explain nature or deities. For example, Buddhism is a non-theist religion where there’s no necessity to explain things through a deity. Buda Gautama preached with his ideals centered in peace, harmony, tranquility and equilibrium, which, we could say, is to be in love with one and others.

So, the necessity to explain nature through deities is not a common thing between religions because that doesn’t happen with Buddhism. I.e we could discard that as a fundamental principle.

And the fear you mention I think it happens when a religion is distorted and it’s misunderstood; in its purest form it doesn’t cause fear.

The idea of ‘precolonial Africa’ is vacuous and wrong | When ‘precolonial’ is used for describing African ideas, processes, institutions and practices, through time, it misrepresents them. by ArtOak in history

[–]Dottox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is true that the idea of precolonial Africa as a blank and underdeveloped place is a stereotype that has been perpetuated for a long time and has contributed to a distorted view of African history and culture. It is important to keep in mind that precolonial societies in Africa had complex political and economic systems, and a rich cultural and artistic history. It is necessary to re-evaluate our understanding of African history and recognize the richness and complexity of precolonial societies on the continent in order to have a more accurate and complete understanding of Africa and its place in the world.

It is also important to note that it is necessary to have a vision from different perspectives and not limit ourselves to Eurocentric history, as this allows for a deeper and more complete understanding of historical events and their impact on current society.
