“Nobody wants to take on any of the industries that produce the things that we throw up into the atmosphere,” he said. “But what you have are all these competing interests pitted against our very survival.”

#metoo, a new conversation
Men and women after #metoo / A new conversation
Embora eu ache que a noção de 'patriarcado' é mais do que algo apenas sobre Homens e a noção de 'feminismo' é mais do que algo apenas sobre Mulheres... Pensar fora da caixa e questionar, questionar, questionar, vale sempre a pena.
– das sombras de 'todas as cores'
– toxic masculinity
– internalised misogyny
– castration
– slow motion dictatorship of the mind
– men need to find their balls

“I paid no attention to the territorial boundaries of academic disciplines and I just grabbed all the big ideas that I could.”
Charlie Munger
da felicidade / control freaks
"[...] a felicidade é igual a grandes acontecimentos menos as expetativas, é preciso começar a perguntarmos a nós mesmos: “Ok, então porque estamos sempre tão infelizes? Comecei a perguntar a mim próprio, porquê. Porque é que algo está errado 16 a 17% das vezes, e percebi que se tiver uma máquina de salsichas e se produzir algo estranho pode ser porque há algo errado com a máquina. A equação não está certa. Ou pode ser porque estou a colocar sapatos na máquina. Se estou a colocar sapatos na máquina não posso esperar que saiam salsichas. Percebi que o problema para estamos sempre tão infelizes é porque resolvemos a equação de forma errada. Não há nada de errado com a nossa vida. Estamos é a colocar os dados errados, os inputs errados na equação. Percebi que existem seis grandes ilusões e sete blind spots." Aqui

"Knowledge has not improved massively. We do not have advanced knowledge. read Seneca and you'll see that in world sciences and in a lot of fields we have not advanced that much. In the complex domain we have not advanced that much. So, being a generalist as people were 500 years ago, is still feasible." [NT]
"Why is it, that we humans denigrate the systems ability to correct themselves on their own? We act as if we were necessary for things to take place. And that's a big problem. We always tend to think that we're smarter than Nature. We have that bias. So this is the problem I'm working on. Is how to mitigate that. How to replace the instinct with something that's not as harmful." [NT]
Entrevista a Philippe Starck
Comprou uma propriedade perto de Grândola. Chamou-lhe Figueira Feliz. O que pretende fazer lá?
Vou pela primeira vez na vida fazer uma casa que não é uma casa moderna. Sempre construí casas de vanguarda, mas quando cheguei às planícies de Grândola, encontrei de tal forma um local de harmonia absoluta — as proporções, a luz, a temperatura, a vibração... — que percebi que não podia fazer nada que não saísse naturalmente do solo. Quero construir uma quinta com arquitetura alentejana. É a primeira vez que o faço, não sei o que pensar. Será que estou a ficar velho? Vou fazer vinho evidentemente biodinâmico, biológico, não filtrado e sem sulfito, o vinho perfeito. E vou fazer também azeite com uma empresa que tenho em Espanha. De resto, não sei. Vou inventar, vou ver.

"men are conditioned to be something that is no longer needed"
"[...] And it’s easier for awkward young men to find likeminded communities of angry, isolated people online than it is for them to forge meaningful relationships in the real world. “The appalling ubiquity of online sexist and racist abuse speaks of lonely, angry men,” he writes. “If we don’t teach them emotional literacy, they might well end up living lonely, unhealthy, shorter lives. [...] All the laughing at offensive jokes, all the pumping iron, all the drinking, competing, all the suppressed pain and hiding of sadness, all the colluding in sexist office politics, all the coping alone, all the diseases diagnosed too late, all the hours of boredom talking about sport, all of it, all of it—for what? To keep up the act to be a foot soldier for an imaginary leader who sits in the top corner office of our unconscious.”

"Grayson Perry has been thinking about masculinity - what it is, how it operates, why little boys are thought to be made of slugs and snails - since he was a boy. Now, in this funny and necessary book, he turns round to look at men with a clear eye and ask, what sort of men would make the world a better place, for everyone? What would happen if we rethought the old, macho, outdated version of manhood, and embraced a different idea of what makes a man? Apart from giving up the coronary-inducing stress of always being 'right' and the vast new wardrobe options, the real benefit might be that a newly fitted masculinity will allow men to have better relationships - and that's happiness, right? Grayson Perry admits he's not immune from the stereotypes himself - as the psychoanalysts say, 'if you spot it, you've got it' - and his thoughts on everything from power to physical appearance, from emotions to a brand new Manifesto for Men, are shot through with honesty, tenderness and the belief that, for everyone to benefit, upgrading masculinity has to be something men decide to do themselves. They have nothing to lose but their hang-ups" [Amazon]
Relações
Question = What are the core reasons or the core things you see over and over, that either end or make a relationship challenging to be in. What are the challenges that come up over and over that you see?
Answer = There is always three questions, right?
— What's a thriving relationship?
— What can go wrong?
— How do you fix it?
I think there are a number of things in a relationship that become corner stones of the demise. I'm not going to list them in order but they are all part of each other.
— INDIFFERENCE
— CONTEMPT
— NEGLET
— VIOLENCE
These are probably the four most important. I'm not talking about big violence. Micro aggressions are plenty.
Indifference: when you start to feel like the other person fundamentally is not really caring about you or you don't care about them. What they feel, what they think, what they're about. It's more than losing of interest. It's also when you are indifferent you degrade the other person. They are less important to you. They don't matter. And ultimately what we feel in relationships is that we matter. It's the essential reason for connecting to people. We are creatures of meaning: "I matter to you, to some one. You care about me. You want my well being. You're proud of me. You want good for me. You're benevolent". All of that.
When you are indifferent, the whole thing goes. Then you start to taste that cold that creeps in. That sense of estrangement, that complete disconnect.
Neglet: when people just basically take each other for granted. They take more care of their car than of their partner, or their dog, or their yard, their business. Anything. Everything gets priority. Everything gets reviewed, evaluated, attended to… People have this idea that they put it all in when they were dating and then once they seal the knot, it's like now they don't have to do squat anymore. And they go into this complete sense of complacency, laziness. It's amazing, they just think this thing is going to live on it's own. Like a cactus.
Violence: the abuse, the level of disrespect. Most people talk nicer to anybody else than their partner when a relationship degrades. Because you can get away with it. Because if you talk like this at work you're gone! Because if you talk like this to the police you're gone! Because if you talk like this on the street you're being punched!
But with your partner you've got that sense that they're gonna be there anyway. They're just gonna take it because it's family. And family is this kind of thing that doesn´t dissolve so easily. So you can just lash out at them and talk to them with a tone, and a dismissal. That is phenomenal. I'm not talking about physical violence and those big things.
Contempt: I think contempt is the top one. Contempt is the killer of them all. because in contempt there the degradation: "you're nothing, nothing. I can kill you with that one gaze, with that one eyebrow that goes up… With, what the fuck do you think you are?". And that's it. You're done.
of antifragility
The tragedy of trying to lead a good life. When the course of life produces terrible conflicts.
"Tragedy happens when you try to live well."
"I think that the language of philosophy has to come back from the abstract heights on which it so often lives, to the richness of everyday discourse and everyday humanity. It has to listen to the ways people talk about themselves, talk about what matters to them, in human life. And one very good way to do this is to listen to literature. To stories."
"You should care about things in a way that makes it a possibility that tragedy will happen to you."
