Estimada Laia - chapter 1 Birth

 Dear daughter, as it is barely two weeks since you were born, too early for the typical kid, but never too early for us, I decided to write a book for you. This book will include what your father thinks, feel and hope for this beautiful world we live in.

My intention is to connect further with you, and share my most precious gifts: my time, my love and my ideas. I do not take much credit of most of the ideas I am sharing, as I am inspired by no ends to the great minds existing in this world. First and foremost your mom, but also those visionaires, scientists and great people I got to know personally or through other means.

I do not expect you to agree with any of what this book is about, and I would love to discuss this you this ideas and learn a lot from you during my lifetime. My love to you will not be biased by how much we agree, but rather by the purity of your thrive and your honest way of living the life you got to live.

You owe us nothing, it is a gift to be your father, so on top of my acts of love and commitment to support you unconditionally, this is a demonstration of how important you are to me.

The world you are now is on one side promising, as we have the means to end poverty, loneliness and avoidable disease, but also under jeopardy, as there are multiple challenges that are not dealt properly. Climate change, peak everything, biochemical weapons, unregulated AI... are some.

Instead of alarming and panicking, I think is more healthy to get inform and act upon it. I will explain you, with my limitations and knowledge gaps, a personal vision of the world and what we could do to move towards a more beautiful one, and minimizing the risks we are facing.

Life is both pretty, challenging and scary, but I do believe there is no other way to live as getting commited and embrace it doing our best. I am very excited to share this journey with you, and hopefully more people join us in the discussions on such important topics.

I would like to talk to you about happiness, community, science, nature, intelligence, energy...As I did not find a book that summarizes life in a beautiful yet rigorous well, this is your father humble attempt.

Excuse me for my mistakes, and rest assure that every idea and action was seeking the mission of making this world more beautiful, just, safe and fun.

Comencem!

El llegat de Gramsci: la hegemonia cultural de l'individualisme, la guerra i l'ecocidi

Gramsci, un analista polític que va morir a la presó en temps de Mussolini, pot tenir algunes de les claus per entendre la inacció davant l'ecocidi, el genocidi palestí, així com la falsa inevitabilitat de la guerra amb Rússia. Enfront de crisis de civilització i humanitàries com les recents, sembla impossible entendre la falta d'acció política, així com la repressió, tant política com mediàtica, de tots aquells que denuncien el que cada vegada és més evident: que el capitalisme d'Estat és responsable de la pèrdua d'una estabilitat climàtica i biodiversitat necessàries per a la vida. També, que la política militar d'Israel sobre els palestins no és més que un intent de perpetuar un projecte ètniconacionalista d'apartheid que ha provocat milers de morts i exiliats palestins, remuntant-se a més de 75 anys quan la seqüela de l'imperialisme britànic va ser succeïda per un imperialisme racista del moviment sionista. Gramsci pot ajudar a aclarir els processos pels...
