lacaio da inquisição

I see a pattern here…

It has been like this. I think these countries see Guyana and think that Oil extraction is the next big thing. It’s happening in Brazil also.

I believe in the BRICS proposal. For any of you who don’t, if you lived in a third world country you would understand what the missed potential is all about. Latin America is somewhat integrated, but people from Brazil could do scientific exchange with Uzbekistan, or an Algerian could be a professor in Senegal. The human potential is so great, because there are a lot of people who are left out from the current state of things.

Everyone wants to go study or be a professional in Europe, but what about all the other countries? Doing the hard thing (working together to reach new heights) is difficult, but it is the only way forward. And that’s what the BRICS propose.

People working together can’t be beaten. If you were on your own, you couldn’t possibly find out all that humanity has found. I think the grudge people have against science is that they think people who want to think on their own think they are ‘stars’ and better than everybody else. We need to push everyone together forward and not let certain individuals do whatever they wish. This is what democracy is about.

As a final argument to the person who thinks “but I want to do whatever I wish”: the probability of you being the person who can do what you wish is really slim.

Nothing pushes the pursuit of Truth more than being lied to.

I hope the left wins in Brazil next year. The BRICS really needs all the traction it can get now. It’s a make or die situation for multilateralism.
