Y LOS NIÑOS Y LA NIEVE ME ASOMBRAN:

NI DÓCIL, NI SERVIL"

GENOMAS HUÉSPED DE VARIANTE ÚNICA DE COVID EN SUELO ANTÁRTICO
Recientemente Csabai et al. han encontrado una muestra metagenómica de la Antártica que contiene rastros de variantes únicas de SARS-CoV-2. Este es un breve seguimientos del informe donde intentamos encontrar la huella genética de los huéspedes. Con razonable seguridad podríamos identificar material genético de la mitocondria de Homo sapiens, mono verde y hámster Chino. Los dos últimos probablemente originados en líneas celulares Vero-E6 (o COS-7) y CHO respectivamente, que son medios de cultivo en laboratorio para estudiar virus, incluidos el SARS-CoV-2 y sus más próximos linajes

"GOFUNDME": LOS BIENES, EL DINERO Y EL MERCADO ("DO YOU MEAN TO STARVE US?")
“Not long since, a strolling Indian went to sell baskets at the house of a well-known lawyer in my neighborhood. “Do you wish to buy any baskets?” he asked. “No, we do not want any,” was the reply. “What!” exclaimed the Indian as he went out the gate, “do you mean to starve us?” Having seen his industrious white neighbors so well off—that the lawyer had only to weave arguments, and, by some magic, wealth and standing followed—he had said to himself: I will go into business; I will weave baskets; it is a thing which I can do. Thinking that when he had made the baskets he would have done his part, and then it would be the white man’s to buy them. He had not discovered that it was necessary for him to make it worth the other’s while to buy them, or at least make him think that it was so, or to make something else which it would be worth his while to buy.
I too had woven a kind of basket of a delicate texture, but I had not made it worth any one’s while to buy them. Yet not the less, in my case, did I think it worth my while to weave them, and instead of studying how to make it worth men’s while to buy my baskets, I studied rather how to avoid the necessity of selling them. The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?”

- ¿LO IGNORAMOS Y LO IGNORAREMOS? (EMIL du BOIS-REYMOND)-EXSPECTABIMUS! (GUSTAVO BUENO)
La ignorancia es aquí, pues, sólo retrospectiva: es la ignorancia que tenemos que retrotraer a nuestro pasado una vez que hemos podido conocer ciertos procesos concluidos en el presente. No es, pues, la finitud de nuestra ciencia aquello que ahora impide el conocimiento de estas situaciones o procesos, sino que es la incognoscibilidad objetiva de estas situaciones o procesos aquello que determina un “límite nouménico” a nuestro saber. Un límite que no justifica, sólo, el Ignorabimus!, sino, también, un Exspectabimus!: “mantengámonos a la expectativa de lo que pueda ocurrir”, para después, si nos parece, medir retrospectivamente nuestra “ignorancia” Gustavo Bueno Ignoramus, Ignorabimus! https://filosofia.org/rev/bas/bas20407.htmCARTA DE #ANDREWHUFF AL #SENADOR #GARYPETERS SOBRE #WUHAN https://t.co/vdlUelCViE

3-01-2011+5-02-2022: LET US NOT PLAY AT KITTLYBENDERS
Y no sólo por mí rezo,
Sino por quienes permanecieron allí conmigo,
(...)
Y si amordazaran mi atormentada garganta,
Por la que gritan cien millones de voces,
Que ellas también rueguen por mí
En la víspera del aniversario de mi muerte.
Y si alguna vez en este país
Deciden erigirme un monumento
Doy mi acuerdo a ese honor
Solo a condición de que no lo erijan
Ni junto al mar, donde nací:
Se rompieron mis últimos lazos con él,
Ni en el parque de los Zares, junto al secreto tronco,
Donde una desconsolada sombra me busca
Sino aquí, donde permanecí de pie trescientas horas
Y donde no me abrieron los cerrojos
Porque en la plácida muerte
Temo olvidar el fragor de los negros furgones.
Olvidar cómo chirriaba la odiada puerta
Y a la vieja que aullaba como una bestia herida.
Ojalá que de mis pesados parpados de bronce
Fluyan las lágrimas como derretida nieve
Y que la paloma de la prisión arrulle a lo lejos
Y que silenciosamente naveguen los barcos por el Neva
A.Ajmátova (Réquiem, Marzo 1940, Casa de Fontanka, Traducción de Jesús García Gabaldón)

28-01-2022 (SANTO TOMÁS (THE DUMB OX), PLURALISMO DE LAS CAUSAS CON HIELO)
"St. Thomas Aquinas closely resembles the great Professor Huxley, the Agnostic who invented the word Agnosticism. He is like him in his way of starting the argument, and he is unlike everybody else, before and after, until the Huxleyan age. He adopts almost literally the Huxleyan definition of the Agnostic method; "To follow reason as far as it will go"; the only question is--where does it go? He lays down the almost startlingly modern or materialist statement; "Every thing that is in the intellect has been in the senses". This is where he began, as much as any modern man of science, nay, as much as any modern materialist who can now hardly be called a man of science; at the very opposite end of enquiry from that of the mere mystic. The Platonists, or at least the Neo-Platonists, all tended to the view that the mind was lit entirely from within; St. Thomas insisted that it was lit by five windows, that we call the windows of the senses.But he wanted the 135 light from without to shine on what was within. He wanted to study the nature of Man, and not merely of such moss and mushrooms as he might see through the window, and which he valued as the first enlightening experience of man.
(...)
Most Monist moralists simply said that Man has no choice; but he must think and act heroically as if he had. Huxley made morality, and even Victorian morality, in the exact sense, supernatural. He said it had arbitrary rights above nature; a sort of theology without theism.
(...)
And for him the point is always that Man is not a balloon going up into the sky nor a mole burrowing merely in the earth; but rather a thing like a tree, whose roots are fed from the earth, while its highest branches seem to rise almost to the stars.
(...)
But in a general sense there has entered that primeval world of pure actuality, the division and dilemma that brings the ultimate sort of war into the world; the everlasting duel between Yes and No. This is the dilemma that many sceptics have darkened the universe and dissolved the mind solely in order to escape. They are those who maintain that there is something that is both Yes and No. I do not know whether they pronounce it Yo.
(...)
Ice is melted into cold water and cold water is heated into hot water; it cannot be all three at once. But this does not make water unreal or even relative; it only means that its being is limited to being one thing at a time.
(...)
But Aquinas says he sees no particular reason, in reason, why this world should not be a world without end; or even without beginning.
(...)
To sum up; the reality of things, the mutability of things, the diversity of things, and all other such things that can be attributed to things, is followed carefully by the medieval philosopher, without losing touch with the original point of the reality (...) He is a realist in a rather curious sense of his own, which is a third thing, distinct from the almost contrary medieval and modern meanings of the word. Even the doubts and difficulties about reality have driven him to believe in more reality rather than less. The deceitfulness of things which has had so sad an effect on so many sages, has almost a contrary effect on this sage. If things deceive us, it is by being more real than they seem."

USA TRUCKERS ROLLING TO CANADA AS WELL
CANADIAN TRUCKERS AND THOREAU (II)
They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement indefinitely, and meanwhile the debt accumulates. HDTWhat’s happening in Canada is amazing. Truckers are driving across the country in a massive caravan and freedom loving people are meeting them along the way to cheer them on. This is the type of protest that can be VERY effective. pic.twitter.com/0VqDVdjh9S
