Mindfulness

Conflict Management

"Conflicto no supone violencia, sino que es un componente básico de la vida humana. Representa un fenómeno continuo y constante en la interacción humana. Es algo habitual en la relación entre grupos sociales y en nuestras relaciones interpersonales. Desde esta perspectiva, en la resolución y transformación de los conflictos está el camino para conseguir la paz. Se deja a un lado el concepto de paz «pasiva» o negativa como eliminación o ausencia de conflictos, para asumir la idea de paz «positiva» de búsqueda y de resolución no violenta de conflictos. La paz así entendida no es sólo un valor o meta, sino que se considera como un proceso.

El conflicto es fuerza motivadora y motor de cambio de la sociedad así como un elemento creativo esencial en las relaciones humanas"

The flaws, fallacies and collapse of the monetary system

Labour for income

Consumerism

"El mundo trata a los niños ricos como si fueran dinero, para que se acostumbren a actuar como el dinero actúa. El mundo trata a los niños pobres como si fueran basura, para que se conviertan en basura. Y a los del medio, a los niños que no son ricos ni pobres, los tiene atados a la pata del televisor, para que desde muy temprano acepten, como destino, la vida prisionera. Mucha magia y mucha suerte tienen los niños que consiguen ser niños." Eduardo Galeano

  • Consuming Kids - The Commercialization of Childhood (1h06). On the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car.

Quotes by Jacque Fresco.


  • I was asked once, “You’re a smart man. Why aren’t you rich?” I replied, “You’re a rich man. Why aren’t you smart?” Jacque Fresco
  • To be proven wrong should be celebrated, for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding, furthering awareness, Peter Joseph
  • Pour atteindre la vérité, il faut une fois dans la vie se défaire de toutes les opinions qu'on a reçues, et reconstruire de nouveau tout le système de ses connaissances, Blaise Pascal
  • Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery - have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience. Howard Zinn
  • The ultimate freedom for creative groups is the freedom to experiment with new ideas. Some skeptics insist that innovation is expensive. In the long run, innovation is cheap. Mediocrity is expensive—and autonomy can be the antidote. Tom Kelley (IDEO manager)
  • If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. Noam Chomsky
  • La seule façon de traiter avec un monde non libre est de devenir si absolument libre que votre existence même est un acte de rébellion. Albert Camus

The three most important natural motivators of human endeavor and excellence:

  1. Autonomy: The urge to direct our own lives.
  2. Mastery: The desire to get better at something that matters.
  3. Purpose: The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.

External rewards extinguish intrinsic motivation, diminish performance, crush creativity, crowd out good behavior, encourage cheating, become addictive, and foster short-term thinking.

While complying can be an effective strategy for physical survival, it's a lousy one for personal fulfillment. Living a satisfying life requires more than simply meeting the demands of those in control. Yet in our offices and our classrooms we have way too much compliance and way too little engagement. The former might get you through the day, but only the latter will get you through the night.

Control leads to compliance; autonomy leads to engagement

  • In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. Carl Sagan
  • Federico Pistono

The goal of the future is full unemployment so we can play!

Technology was never meant to increase productivity and growth so that we can work for longer hours, anywhere, any time, from any device. That's insanity. It was meant to make our lives better.

  • Intenta que el niño que fuiste nunca se averguence del adulto que eres.
  • Cuando soplan vientos de cambio, algunos construyen muros, otros molinos.
  • Afirmar que mi destino no está ligado al tuyo es como decir: tu lado del bote se está hundiendo.
