Spontaneous
generation
Generation of life, the discovery of a species of
cockroach that I didn´t know and I have never seen, rather long and lying on
the tile of the bathroom floor, seemingly dead but that after a few days or
hours they have changed slightly their position. Then it comes a little guilty
reflection of establishing this trivial fact in the bathroom of my apartment—actually the second flat of a
house in a quarter more or less trendy—instead of following the news that spread the world with poppies
of blood. Anyways, but there’s always the appeal to tradition, as it is
established, and I quote 'the microcosm
reflects the macrocosm'. With that apology that does not deceive me I feel that
my associations lead me to ancient and equally discredited things, like that of
spontaneous generation, the possible emergence of complex, animal and plant
life, spontaneously, according to Wikipedia.
Triangulation
with unknown apex
The quadrature of the circle
is not impossible in the field of the psychology. Eggheads are usually also
full squares. The problem of the physicist, formed in some North American
university of fame but not foreign to eschatology for family reasons—an ancient lineage that goes
back to Calvinism— is
that by following Einstein and many others he saw a divinity behind or around,
or being that which is called—and
we call— universe, that
being this way created surely it exists and we as human species would be more
or less to the center. This is quite normal uncontroversial and unspectacular.
For example, if one works loading and unloading packages in any port of entry—-air, land or sea—is also going to need such
support: if the reality is not real, and I have no way of knowing whether or
not it is real, then today I am not getting
out of bed. Or perhaps yes, definitively yes, because in order to accomplish
the natural imperatives that are not at all of disagreeable when one satisfies
them, actually a Last Sense of everything is not needed and one has to get up
of the bed. After a fairly heavy day in the laboratory the physicist dreamed he
was in the center of a triangulation whose left corner was the Devil and the
right God, but in the lower—or
perhaps apex— it depends
on from where you look, there was an unknown entity
