It makes mistakes, is not available in every platform, and is certainly not the same as mixing with DJ equipment, but it is fun and&amp;nbsp; the list should be listened to in the order shown, but can also be listened to at random of course (with no mixing):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Dick explored the idea that human beings might become androids, beings without empathy, by virtue of too much interaction with automation and artificial intelligence. &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Android_and_the_Human&quot;&gt;A metaphor for people who are physiologically human but psychologically behaving in a non-human way&lt;/a&gt;.&quot; In &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blade Runner&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Ridley Scott took the story in the opposite way, by wondering what happens when (artificial) androids develop empathy?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Both are beautiful works of art in their own right, but it seems to me that Dick&#39;s fear was much more realistic after all. Indeed, that is precisely the danger Norbert Wiener  (whom Dick read)  warned us about in his &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Use_of_Human_Beings&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Human Use of Human Beings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;The real danger is that such machines, though helpless by themselves, may be used by a block of human beings to increase their control over the rest of the race or that political leaders may attempt to control their populations through political techniques as narrow and indifferent to human possibility as if they had, in fact, been conceived mechanically&quot;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

felizes da minha vida foi quando me tornei cidadão dos Estados Unidos da
América (EUA).&amp;nbsp; Tal sentimento foi uma
grande surpresa para mim. Durante mais de vinte anos como residente legal, tinha
hesitado dar esse passo por sentir que a dupla nacionalidade seria também uma dupla
traição. Não sabia como combinar as partes de mim que uma conceção simplista do
que é um estado me dizia serem incompatíveis.&amp;nbsp;
Felizmente, a Juíza de Indianápolis que me acrescentou a cidadania americana
libertou-me desses receios. Com um belo discurso de acolhimento, pediu aos
vários novos cidadãos americanos que nunca deixassem a sua cultura e língua
nativa para trás, mas antes que as usassem para enriquecer os EUA, honrando
assim a sua promessa de liberdade e diversidade. Deu-nos uma conceção de
patriotismo americano não só compatível, mas sinérgico e solidário com
patriotismo por outras origens. Desde então, sem qualquer complexo, na
secretária do meu gabinete está a pequena bandeira americana que me foi dada
nesse dia, entrelaçada com uma bandeira portuguesa igual.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Agora que as
forças do nacionalismo se levantam novamente nos dois lados Atlântico para
atear o medo dos imigrantes e da sua influência nos nossos estados, é
importante perceber a diferença entre nacionalismo e patriotismo e como levam a
conceções de identidade individual e nacional muito diferentes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/notes-on-nationalism/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;George Orwell fê-lo de forma brilhante&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, no que deveria ser um texto fundamental
em qualquer educação. O patriotismo é a casa e família cultural de cada um, pelas
quais sentimos muito orgulho. É um sentimento de devoção fortíssimo, mas
defensivo; algo que temos toda a motivação para defender, mas não forçar a
outros. &amp;nbsp;O nacionalismo é uma forma
agressiva, separatista e bélica de patriotismo. Apesar de serem &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/12/21/opiniao/opiniao/imigracao-2116513&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;frequentemente considerados sinónimos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, é perigoso confundi-los. Um patriotismo
sincero facilmente dá legitimidade ao nacionalismo, que é a doença crónica pela
qual a Europa se autodestrói ciclicamente. O nacionalismo implica superioridade
e belicismo contra “o outro”, atacando a diversidade e liberdade que estimulam
o conhecimento, criatividade, economia e adaptabilidade, o que acelera a decadência
e mesmo autodestruição das nações que supostamente se quer defender.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Subjacente a esta
confusão é a ideia de estado-nação que a nossa educação nos leva a ver como a condição
natural das coisas. Isto é, a ideia de que cada país está associado a uma única
nação&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;um grupo de pessoas unidas por uma ascendência, história e cultura comuns. Mas
a organização de países em estados-nação é recente. Até ao século XVIII, reinos
e impérios eram tipicamente multiétnicos, multilinguísticos e multirreligiosos.
Nesses estados os soldados eram pagos pela nobreza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;estavam a soldo. Mas a
revolução francesa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;mais ainda a vontade imperialista de Napoleão&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;inventou
a recruta: soldados obrigados a lutar sem ser a soldo. Para isso foi necessário
incutir na população o conceito de uma única nação por país. Inventaram-se
mitologias para se conseguir que pessoas de nações e línguas diferentes
estivessem dispostas a lutar de graça por um estado-nação único&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;frequentemente
indo buscar nomenclaturas do império romano para as legitimar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;– sendo a mitologia belga d&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;os &lt;i&gt;Belgae&lt;/i&gt; paradigmática, mas mesmo no
contexto mais nacionalmente homogéneo de Portugal desenvolveu-se a mitologia
dos Lusitanos. Mas mais destrutivo da diversidade natural da europa foram as
políticas de destruição de qualquer patriotismo por nações originais, tentando substituí-lo
por nacionalismo pela nação dominante ou mesmo eliminando nações indesejáveis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Um caso que me tocou pessoalmente foi a cobertura dos&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/14/newsletter/mundo-hoje&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;protestos nas universidades americanas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;contra a guerra em Gaza. &amp;nbsp;Como professor numa das universidades onde tem havido protestos e tratando-se do sistema académico americano que integro há mais de 30 anos, foi deveras frustrante ver a retransmissão de desinformação sobre o assunto em Portugal. &amp;nbsp;Fui vendo os alunos das nossas universidades retratados como uma elite radical, preocupando-se caprichosamente com uma guerra distante. Uma imagem em nada semelhante aos meus alunos (nos protestos ou não) que admiro tanto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;a composição das minhas aulas tipicamente tem proporção semelhante de cristãos, judeus e muçulmanos, um pouco menor de hindus, budistas e outros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Na realidade, a
ideia de estado-nação raramente funciona a longo prazo a não ser em sociedades
muito homogéneas. Pode até funcionar numa Noruega ou Japão ou em Portugal (após
várias purgas étnicas na história), mas não funciona em Espanha ou na Bélgica &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;– &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;em
que nem a língua dá para unificar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;– &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;nem sequer nas ilhas britânicas e muito
menos em imensas zonas do Médio-Oriente, África e Ásia. Em qualquer contexto nacionalmente
diverso, estruturas supranacionais são necessárias, quer sejam impérios (Romano,
Otomano, Chinês) ou federações (UE, EUA). &amp;nbsp;Crucialmente, o patriotismo é perfeitamente
compatível e sinérgico com estruturas supranacionais, mas o nacionalismo não.
Um basco, catalão, escocês ou flamengo poderia mais facilmente ser patriótico,
sem ser nacionalista, numa organização supranacional em que não fosse obrigado
a fazer parte de um estado de nação única &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;– por exemplo, n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;uma
hipotética união europeia de cidadãos de diversas nações, mas não de
estados-nação.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;O nacionalismo é,
em última análise, um &lt;i&gt;apartheid &lt;/i&gt;mental. Um exemplo dramático é a situação da
Palestina em que a entrada do nacionalismo (tanto o sionismo como o
nacionalismo árabe) arruinou a coexistência entre diversas nações que existia
enquanto a região foi administrada pelo império Otomano, que era afinal uma
estrutura supranacional. A incapacidade do Mundo em chegar a uma solução de
dois estados na Palestina mostra quão difícil é forçar o conceito de
estado-nação a uma região que nunca foi de residentes de uma única nação&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;nem no
período bíblico. Gaza, como muitas cidades do Mediterrâneo, já existia antes de
Moisés sair do Egipto, tendo passado por domínio canaanita, filisteu, micénico,
babilónio, assírio, egípcio, persa, helénico, etc. &amp;nbsp;A criação de um estado supranacional pós-imperial
na Palestina poderia ter dado espaço simultaneamente a patriotismo judaico e
árabe, e daí a segurança mútua. Mas o pensamento nacionalista requer
exclusividade; é tudo nosso, ou, na melhor das hipóteses, cada um no seu galho,
mas o nosso por cima do vosso. É revelador que a frase “do rio até ao mar” no
contexto da Palestina não é polémica para a mente patriótica; é antes uma
aspiração, provavelmente utópica. Em contraste, para a mente nacionalista a
mesma frase é sentida como uma ameaça mortal ou desejo de limpeza étnica,
dependendo do lado que a diz ou ouve.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;A riqueza,
segurança, paz e sucesso de países dependem precisamente da diversidade
cultural (e até genética) que estruturas supranacionais otimizam. Voltando ao
início, o melhor dos EUA está na atitude patriótica da Juíza que me acrescentou
a nacionalidade americana. É esse &lt;i&gt;pluripatriotismo&lt;/i&gt; aberto, compatível
com “o outro”, que lá cria enorme riqueza, conhecimento, tecnologia e avanço social
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;– os &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;imigrantes são um componente fulcral desde as empresas tecnológicas até às
universidades e cultura. O Pior dos EUA é quando o nacionalismo se levanta.
Quando os seus líderes pensam o país como uma nação maioritariamente branca e
anglófona que é diferente, especial, e superior às outras. Aí aparece o destino
manifesto do genocídio aos nativos, a escravatura e, mais recentemente, os neoconservadores
a tentar moldar o Médio Oriente à força, ou as barreiras que o movimento
nacionalista de Trump quer criar, para manter a identidade nacional branca e
anglófona que pensa ameaçada. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Quando o nacionalismo
domina qualquer país, mais tarde ou mais cedo torna-o expansionista, bélico,
fechado a outros e, em última análise, decadente. Todos os imigrantes são, como
eu, emigrantes de algum lugar riquíssimo em história e conhecimento acumulados
em cultura e até nos genes. A sua presença não é motivo para recear nenhuma “diluição
da nação”. Pelo contrário, é um motor de cruzamento para a evolução de estados
pluripatrióticos, livres, resilientes e saudáveis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;

Está visto que com a morte de Jimmy Carter, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2025/01/05/opiniao/opiniao/carter-trump-regresso-crueldade-2117639&quot;&gt;a ideia é equacionar Biden com Carter, metendo-os no mesmo saco neoliberal, por comparação com o populismo de Trump,&lt;/a&gt; o que é uma enrome afronta à memória de Carter. Este muito criticou Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. Carter foi intensamente crítico do belicismo e ilegalidades desses presidentes, especialmente no médio-oriente. Foi o primeiro que qualificou as ações de Israel contra palestinos como apartheid; Biden apoiou todas as guerras e diz-se sionista, além de ser conhecido como o senador pago pelos bancos e cartões de crédito. Não esquecer que na história inteira dos EUA só 16 anos foram sem guerra, 4 deles sobre a presidência de Carter. Biden, sendo o presidente do provavél genocídio em Gaza, não podia ser mais diferente. Está muito mais próximo de Trump do que de Carter.
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
Acrescento que Carter apoiou Bernie Sanders quando este era a oposição a Biden em 2020. Em grande contraste com Obama, os Clintons e todo o establishment neocon e neoliberal. Não deixem estes apoderarem-se dos feitos de Carter para branquear o neoliberalismo bélico. Carter estava claramente do lado anti-guerra mais populista da esquerda de Sanders. Nada tem a ver com Biden e companhia.

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Uma preocupação
atual é o putativo perigo das redes sociais para a propagação de desinformação.
São frequentes editoriais e artigos de opinião sobre os perigos da
desinformação no &lt;i&gt;X&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;TikTok&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Facebook&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Instagram,&lt;/i&gt;
etc. Aliás, este é um receio recorrente sempre que há inovação tecnológica. Nos
anos 90 um dos membros da minha comissão de doutoramento&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;John Dockery da &lt;i&gt;Defense
Information Systems Agency&lt;/i&gt; dos EUA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–já me ensinava
sobre estratégias de guerra de informação para os &lt;i&gt;chat rooms&lt;/i&gt; do inicio
da Web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; Mas como é sabido nessa
área, os casos de desinformação com maior repercussão são propagados pelos
meios de comunicação convencionais&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. N&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;ão é preciso sequer ler as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consenthttps:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;ideias de Chomsky sobre a fabricação de
consentimento&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; para nos
lembramos que jornais de referencia como o &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/26/world/from-the-editors-the-times-and-iraq.html&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;New York Times&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; foram a chave da propagação de mentiras sobre
armas de destruição maciça que levaram à guerra do Iraque&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, ou mesmo na &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://theintercept.com/2024/04/18/nyt-israel-hamas-leak-investigation/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;guerra atual em Gaza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;É natural os
políticos e governos fazerem o enquadramento dos assuntos de forma a canalizar
a opinião da população para os seus interesses. Mas quando os meios de
comunicação o fazem sem base factual,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;perdem legitimidade enquanto um quarto
poder independente, reduzindo-se a agentes de propaganda do poder oficial.
Infelizmente esse enquadramento é mais a norma, do que a exceção. Por exemplo,
a análise de texto das reportagens dos meios de comunicação tradicionais sobre
o conflito Israelo-árabe ao longo dos anos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://theconversation.com/bias-hiding-in-plain-sight-decades-of-analyses-suggest-us-media-skews-anti-palestinian-216967&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;mostra um enviesamento nítido contra
Palestinos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;algo já &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;demonstrado também para os principais
jornais americanos na atual guerra em Gaza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, sabendo-se até que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://theintercept.com/2024/04/15/nyt-israel-gaza-genocide-palestine-coverage/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;no &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; há diretivas dos
editores para instruir os jornalistas no enquadramento desejado&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;A situação no
jornalismo português fica ainda pior dada a facilidade de propagar noticias do
estrangeiro sem confirmação direta das fontes. A tecnologia atual possibilita a
receção, tradução e reprodução rápida de ideias (e até &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2022/10/10/sociedade/noticia/plagio-publico-nota-direccao-editorial-2023512&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;plágio de artigos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;) pré-fabricadas pelos principais canais de
noticias internacionais (AP, &lt;i&gt;Reuters&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Fox&lt;/i&gt;,
&lt;i&gt;the Guardian&lt;/i&gt;, etc.) Sendo eu emigrante nos EUA há muito tempo, observo
também uma certa arrogância tipicamente portuguesa de fingir (ou, pior, mesmo
acreditar) que se conhece intimamente a realidade política de outros países &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;
especialmente dos EUA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; lendo esses canais à distância. Dados os recursos
limitados do jornalismo convencional nacional, a tentação de passar noticias
desses canais sem comprovar a fonte será forte.&amp;nbsp;
Mas este jornalismo, qual retransmissor em rede, é potencialmente mais
nocivo na transmissão de desinformação do que as redes sociais, porque parte da
autoridade ainda reconhecida aos média convencionais. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Um caso que me tocou
pessoalmente foi a cobertura dos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/14/newsletter/mundo-hoje&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;protestos nas universidades americanas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; contra a guerra em Gaza. &amp;nbsp;Como professor numa das universidades onde tem
havido protestos e tratando-se do sistema académico americano que integro há
mais de 30 anos, foi deveras frustrante ver a retransmissão de desinformação
sobre o assunto em Portugal. &amp;nbsp;Fui vendo
os alunos das nossas universidades retratados como uma elite radical,
preocupando-se caprichosamente com uma guerra distante. Uma imagem em nada
semelhante aos meus alunos (nos protestos ou não) que admiro tanto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;a
composição das minhas aulas tipicamente tem proporção semelhante de cristãos,
judeus e muçulmanos, um pouco menor de hindus, budistas e outros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Um exemplo (não
exclusivo) por Teresa de Sousa no Publico: &amp;nbsp;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/14/newsletter/mundo-hoje&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;No país mais rico do mundo, nas melhores
universidades do mundo, onde os estudantes pagam as mais elevadas propinas do

Com origem na &lt;i&gt;Fox News&lt;/i&gt; (a rede de
desinformação convencional de Rupert Murdoch), foi depois amplificada pelo
humorista &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/billmaher/reel/C51lYslLGUa/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Bill Maher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; da HBO e pelo &lt;i&gt;Atlantic&lt;/i&gt;, e daí foi um
passinho até ao jornal Público num artigo com &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/14/newsletter/mundo-hoje&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;titulo e temática&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; muito &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2024/05/the-1968-hangover/678263/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;semelhante&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. O problema é que o enquadramento falso dos
alunos como elitistas radicais fica assim lançado na discussão do assunto em
Portugal com a autoridade de um jornal importante, o que é bem pior do que se
fosse feito por um cidadão comum nas redes sociais. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;O enquadramento
dos protestos baseou-se noutras narrativas falsas, algumas das quais projetadas
da realidade portuguesa para a americana. Por exemplo, a noção que os alunos
que protestavam em 1968 tinham maior legitimidade porque não queriam ir para a
guerra do Vietname esquece vários factos importantes: os alunos universitários
em 1968 estavam isentos da recruta, 2/3 dos soldados americanos nessa guerra
eram voluntários, nas zonas de combate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://vietnamveteranproject.org/statistics-2/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;só 25% dos soldados eram da recruta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://michiganintheworld.history.lsa.umich.edu/antivietnamwar/exhibits/show/exhibit/draft_protests/the-military-draft-during-the-&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;só 8% da população de rapazes elegíveis
foi recrutada para essa guerra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. Em contrapartida, em 2024, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-percentage-of-americans-have-served-in-the-military/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;13.4% dos homens americanos já serviu nas
forças armadas americanas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; que nas últimas décadas têm estado praticamente sempre envolvidas em
guerras no Médio Oriente. Nas minhas aulas tenho frequentemente veteranos (feridos
física e emocionalmente) dessas guerras, na sua maioria começadas sobre
premissas falsas fabricadas com ajuda dos média convencionais&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Além do
envolvimento direto, ou de amigos e familiares, nessas guerras sem sentido,
todos os Americanos estão envolvidos na guerra em Gaza. A Palestina não está
distante quando é bombardeada com armas pagas pelo seu país. Israel é o &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;maior recipiente de fundos dos EUA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;só
este ano &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vox.com/world-politics/2023/11/18/23966137/us-weapons-israel-biden-package-explained&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;foram aprovados 14 mil milhões acima dos
habituais 4 mil milhões anuais&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. Portanto, o que acontece em Gaza é da absoluta responsabilidade do
contribuinte americano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;isto quando em 1970 um &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://aneconomicsense.org/2014/09/09/at-one-time-you-could-work-your-way-through-college-but-not-any-more/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;jovem americano conseguia pagar as
propinas trabalhando poucas horas semanais a salário mínimo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, mas &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.intelligent.com/1970-v-2020-how-working-through-college-has-changed/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;hoje precisaria de trabalhar 100 horas por
semana para pagar uma universidade privada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;É precisamente por causa do dinheiro investido
em seu nome que os alunos protestam (impostos, propinas e património
universitário). Em democracia não é capricho exigir que o dinheiro de todos
seja investido de acordo com os seus valores, o que explica também porquê os
protestos não se focam tanto no Sudão ou na libertação dos reféns do Hamas, uma
vez que não é neles que as universidades ou o governo americano investem, é no
exército de Israel. &amp;nbsp;Mas mesmo isso é
mais um exemplo de desinformação sobre estes protestos: “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/05/14/newsletter/mundo-hoje&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Os estudantes americanos não reivindicam a
libertação dos reféns que ainda estarão com vida nas mãos do Hamas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.” Os protestos da universidade de
Columbia (os primeiros) são organizados por uma &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://cuapartheiddivest.org/our-coalition&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;coligação de 116 grupos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; com visões distintas. Mas um dos grupos centrais,
o primeiro que Columbia suspendeu, é o &lt;i&gt;Jewish Voice for Peace&lt;/i&gt; que desde
Outubro &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2024/04/14/for-release-jvp-calls-biden-administration-to-force-a-regional-ceasefire/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;exige a libertação de todos os reféns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. Quase todos os protestos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2024/05/13/uw-leaders-reach-agreements-with-students-to-end-pro-palestinan-encampments/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;noutras&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://theintercept.com/2024/05/08/university-divestment-israel-gaza-protests/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;universidades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; o fizeram também&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;incluindo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bupipedream.com/news/bds-resolution-passes/152111/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;os da minha universidade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;No final das contas,
o enquadramento destes protestos usa desinformação para ofuscar o facto que os protestos
de alunos americanos têm sempre estado do lado certo da história&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;é isso
que assusta o poder e a sua geração. Alguém acha hoje que a guerra do Vietname
foi uma boa ideia? Mais, os protestos estudantis foram fundamentais para acabar
com a segregação racial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;o &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://sandersinstitute.org/event/bernie-sanders-arrest-at-chicago-civil-rights-protest&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Senador Bernie Sanders foi preso na
Universidade de Chicago em 1963&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; nessa luta que todos hoje celebram mas na altura, mesmo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/DC-Decoder/2014/0120/Martin-Luther-King-Jr.-and-John-F.-Kennedy-civil-rights-wary-allies&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Kennedy achava agressiva demais&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. Foram também os protestos de alunos nos
anos 80&amp;nbsp; que levaram a universidade de
Columbia a ser a primeira a desinvestir do regime de apartheid na Africa do
Sul, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://zeteo.com/p/gaza-columbia-student-intifada-protests-israel&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;numa cadeia de eventos que culminou com o
Congresso norte-americano a impor sanções que acabaram com esse regime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, nulificando o veto de Reagan que, tal
como Thatcher, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.biography.com/activists/nelson-mandela-terrorist-reagan-thatcher&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;dizia ainda em 1985 que Nelson Mandela era
um terrorista&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Tal como nesses momentos
de protesto, é provável que estejamos realmente numa encruzilhada da História
em que são os alunos a mostrar o caminho da decência. Nesta circunstância, mais
do que nunca, o jornalismo convencional não deveria servir apenas a reação do poder
assustado com os desejos da geração mais bem informada de sempre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;com
acesso à inteligência coletiva possibilitada pela Internet. &amp;nbsp;Se os média convencionais não quiserem
desaparecer perdendo para sempre a nova geração, têm de funcionar como um
quarto poder legítimo, e não como mecanismo de propagação da propaganda do
poder vigente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;isso podem fazer a Internet e a inteligência
artificial facilmente sem eles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

publicou recentemente no Público uma &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2024/01/28/sociedade/noticia/idosos-tomam-demasiados-medicamentos-mal-saude-2078284&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;reportagem muito interessante sobe o
problema da polimedicação&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; em Portugal. Ficámos a saber que mais de um terço da população acima dos
65 anos toma mais de cinco medicamentos simultaneamente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;o que remete Portugal para
o topo dos países com este problema na Europa (só atrás da Republica Checa e
Israel que também participou neste &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/https-snd-gu-se-catalogue-dataset-ext0147-1?locale=pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;estudo europeu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Um dos grandes
problemas da polimedicação é que os medicamentos são muitas vezes receitados
por médicos de especialidades e até de sistemas de saúde diferentes, que não
recebem alertas sobre outros medicamentos já receitados ao mesmo paciente. Além
disso, frequentemente os médicos não estão cientes das muitas interações
nocivas entre os vários medicamentos que são conhecidas, estabelecidas
cientificamente e publicadas em bases de dados públicas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;não se trata sequer de
potenciais interações desconhecidas que obviamente não podem ser usadas como alertas,
mas cujo risco aumenta com polimedicação. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;O nosso grupo de
investigação tem-se especializado em analisar o problema das interações nocivas
na polimedicação, com &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/9336353&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;projetos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://grantome.com/grant/NIH/R01-LM012832-01A1&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;patrocinados&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; nos últimos 10 anos pelos &lt;i&gt;National Institutes
of Health&lt;/i&gt; nos EUA e também a nível nacional pela &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://sciproj.ptcris.pt/176070PRJ&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Fundação para a Ciencia e Tecnologia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;(FCT). Para perceber a escala do problema das interações medicamentosas,
avaliámos os cuidados primários em populações distintas de três continentes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-019-0141-x&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;133 mil pacientes da cidade de Blumenau no Brasil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; (Estado de Santa Catarina), &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.06.23285566v1&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;5,5 milhões de pacientes na Catalunha e
250 mil pacientes do maior sistema de saúde privado da cidade de Indianápolis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; nos EUA (Estado de Indiana). Apesar de
diferenças entre os vários sistemas de saúde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–por exemplo, o formulário do sistema publico de Blumenau só inclui 140
medicamentos enquanto o sistema privado de Indianápolis inclui mais de mil–,
ficou bem claro que em todos estes sistemas as mulheres têm bastante maior
risco de lhes serem receitadas interações conhecidas, algumas muito nocivas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Em relação a idosos, o
problema é ainda bem maior do que descrito na reportagem do Público. De facto, o
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.06.23285566v1&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;nosso último estudo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; (ainda em avaliação em revista científica) mostra que se os médicos
prescrevessem medicamentos aleatoriamente nas mesmas proporções, seriam
receitadas menos interações medicamentosas prejudiciais do que os números reais.
Isto é, os idosos (de ambos os sexos mas pior para mulheres) estão
potencialmente mais expostos às complicações da polimedicação do que se fossem
tirar medicamentos das prateleiras ao calhas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Uma vez que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/https-snd-gu-se-catalogue-dataset-ext0147-1?locale=pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Portugal tem maior proporção da sua
população em polimedicação do que Espanha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, este problema deve ser ainda maior por cá, só
que não sabemos por não haver disponibilização desses dados. É importante
frisar que a análise desses dados leva à descoberta e recomendação de ações
especificas que podem melhorar a saúde e reduzir os custos de saúde publica. No
nosso estudo, descobrimos que se o sistema de saúde catalão substituir um único
medicamento (&lt;i&gt;Omeprazole&lt;/i&gt;, inibidor da bomba de protões para tratamento de
refluxo gástrico) por outros medicamentos semelhantes, o risco de ser receitada
uma interação na polimedicação nesta população reduz-se em 23% para mulheres e
20% para homens, reduzindo significativamente também a diferença entre sexos
neste problema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;com a substituição de um único medicamento! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;A recomendação
dessa ou de outras substituições poderia ser facilmente implementada com a
introdução de um sistema de alerta robusto, na prescrição, nas farmácias ou no
acompanhamento de cada paciente. Além de melhorar a saúde dos pacientes, o que
deve ser o principal objetivo ético, a redução dos problemas inerentes à
polimedicação &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;– &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;especialmente numa população envelhecida &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; pode certamente
levar também à redução de custos. Uma &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-019-0141-x&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;estimativa conservadora&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; que fizemos da hospitalização por interações medicamentosas,
conclui que os seus custos no estado brasileiro de Santa Catarina (população 7
milhões bem mais jovem que a de Portugal e com menos medicamentos disponíveis) ascendem
a entre 21 a 61 milhões de dólares americanos por cada 18 meses . &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Contruir alertas
para possíveis interações ou reações adversas em polimedicação não só é
relativamente fácil de fazer, como imensos sistemas de saúde os têm. &amp;nbsp;Uma vez que existe um sistema nacional de
códigos de prescrição, é também possível fazer um sistema nacional de alertas integrativo
para médicos no ato da prescrição, farmácias no ato da venda ou no acompanhamento
de pacientes por gestores de saúde publica. No caso das interações e reações mais
perigosas conhecidas, uma receita deveria acionar um alerta para que o médico
confirme a necessidade de prescrever um medicamento que se sabe causar
potenciais problemas graves na presença de outros já prescritos ao mesmo
paciente (de que o médico pode nem estar ciente), bem como a recomendação
automática de alternativas. Também o próprio paciente deveria receber alertas, já
que os folhetos informativos de cada medicamento são normalmente de difícil
compreensão.&amp;nbsp; Preocupamo-nos muito com a
privacidade dos dados, mas pouco com a ética de se prescrever polimedicação sem
informar pacientes de potenciais problemas associados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Em Portugal,
mesmo contactando as entidades responsáveis ao abrigo de projetos da FCT
especificamente desenhados para se utilizar a ciência de dados e a inteligência
artificial na administração pública, é muito difícil obter dados de prescrição
médica para investigação científica. De facto, é muito difícil saber qual a
verdadeira escala deste problema, muito menos implementar mecanismos para
melhorar os resultados e custos de saúde associados&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;ao contrário da
Catalunha e Dinamarca que disponibilizam estes dados sobre toda a sua população
durante décadas. Seguindo esses exemplos excelentes (que utilizam todas as
normas europeias de privacidade e segurança) na utilização de dados ao serviço
do bem-estar da população, está mais do que na hora de se levar a sério o
problema da polimedicação, disponibilizando os dados de prescrição nacionais
com vista à implementação de ações especificas para melhor servir a saúde
publica nacional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A DJ set to celebrate New Order&#39;s Blue Monday. A lot of 4-track DJing in three parts to cover the tracks that influenced Blue Monday (Part I: Origins), those that it inspired (Part II: Reaction), and those that were tapping the same influences (Part III). Many more tracks could be included, but I did not want to make this long.   Tracklist and podcast below. &lt;a href=&quot;https://etrash.rochaweb.com/mightyBM.html&quot;&gt;&lt;iMighty Blue Monday&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is also available on &lt;a href=&quot;https://etrash.rochaweb.com/&quot;&gt;E-Trash&#39;s site&lt;/a&gt; (Username: apollo, Password: feelingfree).

36,4% dos alunos se dizem motivados para realizar o seu trabalho académico, e
só 14,5% se sentem bem a maior parte do tempo. Pelo menos um quarto dos alunos é
identificado com ansiedade (26.4%) ou depressão (25.2%), com 15,3% qualificados
em situação extrema de stress, isto é, em &lt;i&gt;burnout&lt;/i&gt;. O estudo não foi
publicado e não conhecendo a metodologia exata, a comparação com outros estudos
é difícil. Mas sendo uma estimativa correta e comparável, a saúde mental na UL
estará muito pior do que &lt;a&gt;nas universidades americanas onde ansiedade e depressão afetam

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;A subordinação e
submissão involuntária por tempo prolongado é um &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.1037/a0021499&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;fator conhecido na ansiedade e depressão&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; e na relacionada falta de motivação. Por outras
palavras, estas patologias são prevalentes em contextos em que as pessoas não
têm &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3383914/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;controlo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; sobre as suas vidas, especialmente &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adolescence.2004.07.004&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;em jovens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. Não é, pois, de estranhar que depois de tantos
anos num sistema educacional onde têm pouca escolha ou controlo sobre a sua
vida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;tantos alunos se sintam desmotivados e com patologia mental severa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;A filósofa de
educação italiana Maria Montessori, disse em 1951 na UNESCO que as “crianças e
jovens são uma população sem direitos que é crucificada em bancos de escola por
toda a parte e que&lt;/span&gt;---&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;apesar de toda a nossa conversa sobre democracia,
liberdade e direitos humanos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;–está escravizada
na ordem escolar, por regras intelectuais que nós lhe impomos.” Também Paulo
Freire, na sua pedagogia dos oprimidos de 1968, qualificou o sistema de
educação tradicional como “educação bancária,” onde alunos são “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.uol.com.br/ecoa/ultimas-noticias/2020/12/01/o-que-sao-a-educacao-bancaria-e-a-libertadora-formuladas-por-p-freire.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;como um cofre vazio em que o professor acrescenta
fórmulas, letras e conhecimento científico até [os] ‘enriquecer’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.” É assim que muitos educadores modernos ainda pensam a
escola, daí tanta conversa sobre medir “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2021/10/08/opiniao/opiniao/aprendizagens-perdidas-lembra-1980267&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;aprendizagens perdidas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;”– como se o conhecimento fosse descarregado em fardos de conteúdos
platónicos para professores depositarem nos cofres vazios dos alunos, em vez de
um processo corpórea de pesquisa automotivado como é visto &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_mente_corp%C3%B3rea_ci%C3%AAncia_cognitiva_e_e/PeMPGQAACAAJ?hl=en&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;pela ciência cognitiva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/HrxX9TBj2zY&quot; width=&quot;471&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;HrxX9TBj2zY&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Infelizmente, como
Montessori, Freire e outros argumentaram, esta forma de organizar a escola cria
um diferencial de poder entre aluno e professor/sistema educativo que retira ao
aluno o controlo sobre a sua vida, a sua agência humana, tão importante para a
saúde mental. O objetivo desta submissão involuntária imposta aos alunos, será
produzir trabalhadores submissos que aceitem desigualdade e injustiça com
naturalidade – &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.currentaffairs.org/2023/07/we-should-radically-rethink-the-foundations-of-education&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;argumento desenvolvido por estes e outros pensadores,
como Daniel Greenberg ou Louis Althusser&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, mas fora da razão deste artigo.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Existem muitos
pontos na educação portuguesa onde se poderia substituir professores-autoridade
“descarregarregando aprendizagens”, por pesquisa corpórea e automotivada. Do
infantário à universidade, a escolha curricular, empenhamento físico e
automotivação deveriam ser a norma, não a exceção. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Mas foco-me no ápice da educação pré-universitária, quando após 12 anos com
raras oportunidades de escolha e automotivação sem ser fora da escola, cada
aluno fica marcado e reduzido a um número: a sua média de notas (de cadeiras
chave e exames).&amp;nbsp; É este &lt;i&gt;numerus
clausus &lt;/i&gt;que decide os cursos universitários a que jovens podem aceder,
independentemente da sua real vocação ou desejo. É interessante que em latim
este termo quer dizer “número fechado,” porque é realmente numa clausura de
difícil acesso que o nosso sistema educativo coloca a universidade. É, pois, natural
que grande parte dos jovens rejeitados da sua vocação se sintam sem
livre-arbítrio sobre a sua própria vida, seguindo-se a desmotivação como grande
fator de depressão e ansiedade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Embora muitos defendam o &lt;i&gt;numerus
clausus&lt;/i&gt; como a forma mais justa de selecionar os melhores alunos, é sabido
que as notas escolares dependem de fatores como&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2023/06/16/sociedade/opiniao/rankings-meritocracia-qualidade-educacao-2052840&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; escolaridade publica ou privada, dinheiro e educação da
família&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, e até do género (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1467-9566.2011.01395.x&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;raparigas tendem a ser mais motivadas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/app.20170571&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;rapazes de contextos desfavorecidos têm pior aproveitamento do que
raparigas na mesma situação&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;.) Já os &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/20/opinion/culture/timed-tests-biased-kids.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;exames com tempo limitado também não escolhem necessariamente
quem é mais apto a resolver até os problemas dos próprios exames (e tendem a
enviesar a favor de rapazes.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; &amp;nbsp;Além disso, a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2023/06/16/sociedade/opiniao/rankings-meritocracia-qualidade-educacao-2052840&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;pretensa meritocracia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt; do &lt;i&gt;numerus clausus&lt;/i&gt; é uma tautologia: o sistema académico define o
que é considerado “melhor” e depois declara que os aceites são os “melhores”. &amp;nbsp;Mas onde está a demonstração que as médias e
exames mais altos identificam as pessoas mais aptas para determinada profissão?
Alguém acha que os melhores médicos se escolhem pela capacidade de receber e
memorizar “aprendizagens” de Português ou Biologia no ensino secundário? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Mais fundamentalmente
ainda, mesmo que tivéssemos uma medida perfeita de mérito (que não é possível
por não sabermos como medir e priorizar tipos diferentes de inteligência),
porquê selecionar só os melhores para determinados cursos? Quando o número de
pessoas que podem entrar na clausura é muito limitado, a falsa meritocracia (tautológica)
reduz a diversidade de pessoas treinadas para determinada profissão, sem
garantir aptidão. De facto, a maioria dos alunos que entram nos cursos com médias
de entrada mais altas – que são os que levam a profissões mais bem pagas – têm
pais com educação universitária e nível socioeconómico mais elevado. Portanto,
o &lt;i&gt;numerus clausus &lt;/i&gt;reduz a diversidade propagando privilégio e elitismo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;É importante frisar que o
&lt;i&gt;numerus clausus &lt;/i&gt;não é a única forma de organizar o acesso ao ensino
superior. Nas universidades de topo dos EUA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.crimsoneducation.org/ca/blog/the-complete-list-of-us-universities-going-test-optional-in-2021-22/&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;a nota de exames é opcional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, sendo o acesso decidido &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;por fatores múltiplos como currículo académico, entrevista, atividades
extracurriculares, ensaio, etc. Na Bélgica e na França, que levam o direito
constitucional de acesso à universidade a sério, os alunos entram no curso que
querem (com algumas restrições para cursos como medicina e engenharia civil). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Críticos do
sistema de acesso livre vigente na Bélgica e na França, avisam que nesses
sistemas o entrave simplesmente acontece mais tarde, porque os alunos têm de
passar provas difíceis após os primeiros anos na universidade, havendo quem tenha
de mudar de curso ou mesmo não acabe a universidade. Mas a comparação com
Portugal não mostra isso. Segundo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/education-at-a-glance-2022_3197152b-en&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;dados da OCDE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;, a percentagem de alunos que não completam o
curso em que entraram (após 3 anos da duração teórica do mesmo) é de 72% em
Portugal, 71% em França, e 68% na Bélgica Flamenga&lt;/span&gt;---&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;na Bélgica Francófona o
valor é 52%, mas não é diretamente comparável porque se refere apenas a escolas
de elite (&lt;i&gt;hautes écoles&lt;/i&gt; e &lt;i&gt;écoles des arts&lt;/i&gt;), enquanto nos outros
países se refere a todos os bacharéis/licenciaturas.&amp;nbsp; É importante notar que no caso da França e da
Bélgica os alunos entram nos cursos que quiserem, enquanto em Portugal a base
da proporção apresentada refere-se apenas aos alunos que passam o &lt;i&gt;numerus
clausus&lt;/i&gt;. Isto é, mesmo impedindo grande parte dos alunos de entrarem no
curso que querem, a proporção de alunos em Portugal que termina os cursos em que
entram é muito semelhante à de países onde entram todos no curso que querem! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Mas a situação é
ainda mais embaraçosa se considerarmos a proporção de alunos que termina um
curso STEM (ciência, tecnologia, engenharia ou matemática), no mesmo (ou
noutro) campo e nível, mas não necessariamente no curso em que primeiro
entraram: cerca de 63% (71%) em Portugal contra 74% (77%) na Bélgica Flamenga
(OECD não apresenta estes dados para França). Em suma, muito menos alunos
acabam cursos STEM&lt;a href=&quot;file:///C:/Documents/Career%20and%20Personal/media/Redu%C3%A7%C3%A3o%20ao%20Numero%20-%20grande.docx#_ftn1&quot; name=&quot;_ftnref1&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;MsoFootnoteReference&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportFootnotes]--&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;MsoFootnoteReference&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,sans-serif&quot; lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;[1]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; em
Portugal após &lt;i&gt;numerus clausus&lt;/i&gt;, do que na Bélgica Flamenga onde os alunos
entram no curso que querem após terminar o secundário! Isto é, não há qualquer
vantagem em excluir à partida alunos dos cursos em que eles querem entrar,
retirando aos jovens o controlo sobre as suas próprias vidas, com enorme custo
para a sua saúde mental e realização pessoal. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;É importante
frisar que é uma decisão política não dar aos jovens maior controlo sobre a sua
educação e acima de tudo bloquear escolhas importantes para a sua vida futura. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Apesar da revolução de abril há quase 50 anos, e a
promessa de acesso ao ensino superior para todos da constituição que se lhe
seguiu, não houve ainda revolução do modo de ensino. Continuamos a querer
produzir trabalhadores submissos e habituados a conviver com a desigualdade da
autoridade, com grande custo para a sua saúde mental e realização pessoal.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;Não tem de ser assim, não temos que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2023/09/16/opiniao/opiniao/habituamonos-2063534&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;nos habituar a tudo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot;&gt;. Se queremos criar agentes de mudança
saudáveis, com garra para a inovação, temos de começar por dar aos jovens maior
controlo sobre as suas vidas, em vez de os reduzir ao número que os fecha fora
da sua vocação e motivação.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Isto é, apenas a escola pode &quot;dar&quot; conhecimento. Não, alguns têm sucesso *apesar* da escola (e.g. Ada Lovelace), e a maioria das pessoas criativas, ou que têm dificuldade em estar passivamente a &quot;receber informação&quot; têm imensas dificuldades na escola. Meti &quot;dar&quot; e &quot;receber informação&quot; entre aspas porque esse é o ponto fulcral do erro do modelo (Cartesiano) de escola que temos: conhecimento não é algo que se dá e se recebe como se fosse empacotado em fardos de batatas e descarregados por instrutores para as cabecinhas de meninos ligados às secretárias, com se fossem baterias na Matrix. O conhecimento é criado por cada um, de uma forma corpórea. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

It made me feel very connected to younger generations and the possibility of change. It also highlights how much of a losing proposition identity politics is, with its ultimate reduction of the Republic to individuals and their identities. Effective action --- and indeed the pleasure of being in a Republic, a city --- lies in the universal, not in the individual aspects of citizens. Unity is Powerful.
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

&quot;&#39;To restore the republic everywhere&#39; is to restore every citizen to the command post in each of us. We are more than men and women, more than rich and poor, more than believers or atheists, more than Christians or Muslims, more than black or white, more than heterosexual or homosexual, more than individual persons: we are citizens. There is a universal part of us that fades away when we don&#39;t cultivate it, when we don&#39;t regularly make the effort to get out of ourselves&quot;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

Meu nome é Gal!</title><content type='html'>O antirracismo &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2022/11/10/opiniao/opiniao/racismo-antirracismo-nao-sao-extremos-opostos-tocam-2027119&quot;&gt;não é extremo oposto do racismo&lt;/a&gt;, mas a maioria das suas vertentes em vez de desconstruirem, perpetuam as bases do racismo colonialista num ciclo Nietzschiano deprimente.  Os movimentos antiracistas normalmente usam as mesmas categorias herdadas do colonialismo para definir pessoas. Podem até vestir essas mesmas categorias na linguagem da política identitária, mas não as destroem, antes pelo contrário. Por exemplo, o conceito de &quot;pessoa racializada&quot; não é mais do que o conceito racista e colonialista de alguém que não é branco puro (um conceito muito nefasto especialmente no colonialismo britânico e holandês, mas não só.) Um verdadeiro antirracismo iria contra a própria noção de raça, deixando para trás de uma vez por todas conceitos colonialistas como Africa ser negra e a Europa ser branca, africanos serem negros, europeus brancos, ou haverem pessoas brancas e outras &quot;racializadas/manchadas&quot;. Esses conceitos não existiam nas épocas clássicas e medievais. Está na altura de nos libertar-mos dos nacionalismos e racismos que só apareceram com o nascimento de estados modernos. Para este debate é importante não esquecer que conceito de raça é social, quase nada biológico. Por isso, por um lado é muitíssimo importante porque a nossa vida é social, mas por outro lado, em última análise, é uma escolha individual e social continuar a usar e focar a luta pela igualdade de todos no conceito de raça---especialmente baseada na re-etiquetagem das divisões racistas criadas pelo colonialismo.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

P.S. Meu nome é Gal! Viva o &lt;a href=&quot;https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropic%C3%A1lia&quot;&gt;tropicalismo&lt;/a&gt;, verdadeira &lt;a href=&quot;https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movimento_antropof%C3%A1gico&quot;&gt;antropofagia de libertação&lt;/a&gt;, onde todas as raças são devoradas até à irrelevancia.

Desconfio muito dos que menosprezam o valor da banda porque &quot;homens do rock&quot; têm sempre muita dificuldade em aceitar as bandas bonitinhas, especialmente as lideradas por homens atraentes---talvez até porque sintam essa atração de forma homofóbica. É interessante depois ver e ler algumas mulheres seguir esse preconceito para serem parte da intelligentsia cultural, mas isso é outro assunto. Isto foi visto no ódio racista e homofóbico dos roqueiros ao disco nos anos 70 e 80. Mas o maior paralelo com os Coldplay são os Duran Duran nos anos 80 (e até Bowie anteriormente). Raro era então o homem que assumia gostar---e mulher quer quisesse ser parte da intelligentsia do &quot;sete&quot; e &quot;Blitz&quot; também. Era pop plástica maquilhada, e o verdadeiro artista queria-se grunge e feio, tais &lt;a href=&quot;https://collectingbrel.com/2017/04/12/beyond-coincidence-jacques-brel-david-bowie/#:~:text=Later%20in%201973%2C%20legend%20states,is%20said%20to%20have%20questioned.&quot;&gt;Jaques Brels recusando falar com o &quot;maricas&quot; do Bowie&lt;/a&gt;. Mas hoje quando passo música deles, o pessoal mais velho que na altura supostamente detestava, salta todo para a pista, hungry like the wolf, como se fosse a música da vida deles. O importante é viver la vida e gostar sem preconceitos. Não gosto de tudo dos Coldplay, mas não duvido que marcam imenso o presente e que quem desdenha agora, um dia vai ouvir com nostalgia.

But it is hard to ignore that nationalism, and all associated identitary &quot;isms&quot;, pit us all against one another as class representatives. At the same time, pure or radical anarchic individualism easily destroys liberal society and the robust shelter it brings to individual freedom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Liberal society, as an ideal, is anarchist in the nonradical sense that it aims to maximize individual freedom without special privilege or rules given to any class/group, but it also has to be organized around society and its collective survival. So it cannot escape the establishment of at least one class defining membership in the society: that of citizen. The challenge is how global and humane can such a class become for a given society not to disintegrate? I don&#39;t know the answer, obviously. I also know that liberal society has been very far from its ideal in curbing privilege---though still much better than any other alternative (illiberal) society we have seen. But the last century has shown that all nationalism and indeed identity politics only take liberal society further away from that nonradical anarchist ideal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, some interesting quotes from the little book:&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&quot;The primary problem with most leftist positions is that they promote group interests over individual interests and further isolate people from each other.&quot; From &lt;i&gt;Anarchists and the left&lt;/i&gt;, Joe Peacott&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;Nationalism, like feminism, is based on the primacy of groups over individuals. Nationalists believe that &#39;nations&#39; oppress other &#39;nations.&#39; Anarchists, on the other hand, contend that some people oppress other people&quot;.

As a consequence, we often treat the people we first encounter in everyday life, not as themselves as morally autonomous individuals with their own particular histories but as abstract class tokens with one collective history.&quot; From &lt;i&gt;The Politics of Identity and Difference:

In the process of organizing along nationalist lines, it is necessary to create a strong group identity (&quot;class consciousness&quot;), and a strong sense of the Other.&quot; From&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The Politics of Identity and Difference: Gynocentrist vs. Polyandrogynist Visions&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;by Peter Cariani.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

muito maior afronta à cidadania dos emigrantes consagrada na lei eleitoral: os
seus votos contam apenas para 4 dos 230 deputados da Assembleia da República. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Segundo o &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://portaldascomunidades.mne.gov.pt/images/GADG/Relat%C3%B3rio_da_Emigra%C3%A7%C3%A3o_2020.pdf&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Relatório da Emigração de 2020 no Portal
das Comunidades Portuguesas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;, em 2019 mais de 2.6 milhões de cidadãos portugueses nascidos em Portugal
encontravam-se a viver no estrangeiro &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;−&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt; números que não incluem os cidadãos portugueses
filhos desses 2.6 milhões (os chamados, Luso-descendentes). Portanto, os cerca
de 10 milhões cidadãos residentes em Portugal elegem 226 deputados, enquanto os
2.6 milhões de cidadãos residentes no estrangeiro elegem apenas 4. Aproximadamente
44 mil residentes elegem cada deputado, mas são precisos 650 mil emigrantes
para conseguir o mesmo. Isto é, em termos de representatividade democrática, um
cidadão emigrante vale 7% dum cidadão residente. Para caracterizar esta
discrepância na representatividade de pessoas que são todas supostamente
cidadãs da mesma República, o epíteto cidadão de segunda não chega, mais
correto seria dizer que os emigrantes são cidadãos de décima classe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;É interessante
notar tantos artigos em Portugal sobre injustiças nas democracias dos outros,
mas tão pouco debate sobre este tratamento tão discriminatório de concidadãos na
nossa própria democracia. Quando tento abordar este tema oiço várias
justificações que penso valer a pena discutir. Num extremo, há quem diga que os
emigrantes nem se quer deviam ter deputado nenhum. É espantoso, mas infelizmente
comum, que haja quem abertamente defenda que se deve retirar a cidadania a
concidadãos por estarem a residir e trabalhar fora de Portugal em determinado
momento. É importante notar que não é normal que tal aconteça em democracias
ocidentais. Por exemplo, apesar dos problemas eleitorais que os media portugueses
adoram discutir, um cidadão americano não perde qualquer representatividade
democrática por viver noutro país por qualquer período de tempo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;−devo dizer que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;tenho dupla cidadania americana e portuguesa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Uma justificação
menos extrema tem a ver com o conceito de representação material no processo
legislativo. Deste ponto de vista, os emigrantes, por não viverem em Portugal,
são vistos como cidadãos não vinculados às leis que o parlamento delibera. Isto
é, os emigrantes são vistos como cidadãos apenas simbolicamente &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt; e não
materialmente &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;– ligados à República.
Daí a sua representatividade dever ser apenas simbólica. Nesta perspetiva, os
emigrantes são tipo aqueles estrangeiros que gostam da seleção portuguesa de
futebol, mas não “arriscam a pele” em Portugal−não têm “&lt;i&gt;skin in the game&lt;/i&gt;”
para usar a expressão que Nassim Nicholas Taleb tanto gosta.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;Esta visão do emigrante
eternamente desterrado – e daí desacoplado materialmente da Républica −está
obviamente ultrapassada no mundo global do século XXI, especialmente para
emigrantes na União Europeia, nos países lusófonos e até nos parceiros atlânticos.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Em meados do século XX talvez ainda fizesse
sentido pensar que os emigrantes fossem em barcos para portos distantes dos
quais nunca mais regressavam. Mas não é isso que se passa hoje. Os emigrantes,
que pertencem a todas as áreas e níveis de educação, vão e vêm, têm em Portugal
filhos, pais, família, propriedade, investimentos, produção intelectual e
criativa, etc. Grande parte deles estão tudo menos desacoplados da Républica.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Só uma visão
muito paroquial pode pensar que os cidadãos emigrantes não estão materialmente
envolvidos no país e que devem ser excluídos ou apenas incluídos
simbolicamente. Permitam-me partilhar um pouco mais da vida pessoal apenas para
exemplificar o tipo de relações bidirecionais, concretas comuns a muitos outros
emigrantes. Sou professor universitário e cientista há 30 anos nos EUA. Mas faço
contribuições materiais e intelectuais diretas para Portugal diariamente e, vice-versa,
é óbvio que as leis deliberadas pelo parlamento me vinculam como cidadão. Os
meus filhos, nascidos e crescidos nos EUA, decidiram viver em e contribuir para
Portugal. Porquê que o meu voto deve contar apenas 7% do voto de qualquer outro
cidadão que tenha contribuído materialmente, intelectualmente e geracionalmente
para Portugal? Noto que os EUA não retiram aos meus filhos o direito de voto a
100% para qualquer eleição no círculo nacional em que estão registados por
estarem a viver em Portugal (e terem dupla cidadania). E porque haveriam de
retirar? Contribuímos para ambos os países a todos os níveis, incluindo em
patriotismo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Uma outra
justificação, ou receio, é que dado o elevado número de emigrantes, se estes tivessem
a mesma representatividade, Portugal poderia ser governado “por telecomando”
por quem não vive no país. Pelo que escrevi acima, é claro que pelo menos
grande proporção está materialmente envolvida, com muita “&lt;i&gt;skin in the game&lt;/i&gt;”
em Portugal. É perfeitamente razoável que a Républica institua critérios para
que a cidadania seja mantida &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;−&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;por exemplo, os cidadãos americanos têm
que pagar impostos aos EUA onde quer que residam, havendo acordos bilaterais
com grande parte dos países para evitar dupla taxação. O que não é razoável é
que a cidadania seja retirada para os simbólicos 7%. Até porque a experiência
de 2.6 milhões de emigrantes deveria ser valorizada na deliberação democrática.
Afinal, quem melhor do que eles para saber porque tiveram que sair do país? Ou
quais os mecanismos que permitem fazer carreiras produtivas noutros lugares?
Pode Portugal continuar a dar-se ao luxo de ignorar esse feedback político?
Quem tem medo dele? Talvez um pouco mais de “telecomando da emigração” no poder
ajude a desenvolver um país em que os jovens não tenham que emigrar mais.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;É importante
também ter em atenção que grande parte dos emigrantes portugueses não tem outra
nacionalidade. Quando Portugal lhes retira a sua representatividade,
reduzindo-a a 7% dos outros cidadãos, a grande maioria não tem
representatividade eleitoral noutro país. Ficam assim democraticamente
apátridas. Essa situação &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;–&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt; na qual estive durante mais de 20 anos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;− é&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt; uma
afronta aos direitos de cidadania, e não deveria ser constitucional.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Não me admira que a maioria dos emigrantes
não vote e ache esta &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.publico.pt/2022/02/19/opiniao/opiniao/imperdoavel-1996071&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;última controvérsia hipócrita e apenas
usada para jogo partidário&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;. Aliás, dada tamanha discriminação, advogo um movimento de desobediência
civil. Sugiro que é do interesse democrático que os emigrantes se mantenham
registados em círculos eleitorais nacionais em vez dos círculos de emigração
onde residem. Bem como organizarem-se em partidos com representação parlamentar
que advoguem pelo fim desta discriminação.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;PT&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: PT;&quot;&gt;Ignorar a
cidadania dos que tiveram que sair por falta de oportunidade estará porventura
enraizada num país que no fundo ainda age como metrópole de uma Républica
imperial, com uma noção de nacionalidade desatualizada.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;São tiques de superioridade difíceis de ser
reconhecidos por um regime que imagina que exorcizou os fantasmas do antigo
regime. Mas quem como eu nasceu “branco de segunda” em Angola, está farto de
ser tratado como cidadão de décima classe num país para o qual já tanto
contribuiu.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

É legítimo levantar o &lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/6vdq8M5Guus&quot;&gt;assunto &quot;Stasi&quot; como metáfora dos esqueletos ditatoriais da esquerda&lt;/a&gt;, porque é importante que a esquerda democrática se pergunte &lt;a href=&quot;https://expresso.pt/eleicoes-legislativas-2022/maioria-de-esquerda-nao-devera-deixar-passar-vice-presidente-da-ar-do-chega/&quot;&gt;porque razão é aceitável haver na assembleia da república um vice-presidente do PCP, mas não um do Chega&lt;/a&gt;. Sim, &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/miguel_won/status/1489571118394613761&quot;&gt;Rui tavares explicou a sua posição pessoal sobre Lothar Bisky em particular&lt;/a&gt;, mas isso não chega porque não houve um tratamento completo sobre a sua posição em relação ao resto da esquerda com quem se coliga. Existe alguma linha vermelha? Digo isto com o à vontade de quem não podia estar mais longe do Chega e escolheu Livre nestas eleições (para manter o meu voto, vai ter que contribuir para maior clarificação democrática à esquerda). Mas devido ao Chega, a direita está a ser forçada a explicitar as suas linhas vermelhas democráticas e sociais fundamentais. Já está mais do que na hora da esquerda fazer o mesmo, em vez da habitual negação que tem uma vertente autoritária. Desconfio sempre quando a resposta é uma pseudomoralidade chocada, como que virgens vestais sob ataque, em vez do necessário trabalho moral sobre democracia. Se a esquerda realmente se opõe a um Vice-Presidente da Assembleia da Republica baseada num princípio fundamental contra autoritarismo, também tem que aplicar tal critério a si própria. É essa questão fundamental que está por trás da crítica do Sérgio Sousa Pinto (a origem do &quot;meme Stasi&quot;). Mas pelo menos o PCP (e o BE em grande medida) ainda não fez esse trabalho democrático. Aliás continua sem regenerar os seus líderes mesmo após derrota, já para não falar da sua defesa explícita de regimes ditatoriais---tantas vezes de forma racista dizendo, por exemplo, que o comunismo que defende é &quot;Europeu&quot; e que esses regimes têm outros &quot;contextos sem tradição democrática.&quot;

This results in much robustness to perturbations, allowing biological systems to exist in a stable or near-critical dynamical regime, despite being composed of thousands of biochemical variables which would ordinarily result in chaotic dynamics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The measure of &lt;em&gt;effective connectivity&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;we developed captures redundancy in automata networks and is shown in the paper to be highly predictive of dynamical regime of biochemical systems ranging from flower development to breast cancer in humans. The approach thus adds empirical validity to several&amp;nbsp; well-known hypotheses in theoretical biology: 1) that canalization adds robustness to biological development put forth by &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._H._Waddington&quot;&gt;C.H. Waddington&lt;/a&gt;, 2) that redundancy is essential for evolvability put forth by &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Conrad_(biologist)&quot;&gt;Michael Conrad&lt;/a&gt;, and 3) that biological organisms exist in a near-critical dynamical regime put forth by &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Kauffman&quot;&gt;Stuart Kauffman&lt;/a&gt;. The new work further connects the three hypotheses by equating canalization with redundancy, providing a&amp;nbsp; measure of effective connectivity based on dynamical redundancy, and further showing that this measure very accurately predicts the dynamical regime of biochemical networks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beyond the biochemical models we tested, because automata networks are canonical examples of complex systems, the work suggests that redundancy and canalization should be important design principles of resilient and evolvable organizations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can read the article following the links in reference:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Manicka Santosh, Marques-Pita Manuel and Rocha Luis M.
