É uma crise curiosa, pois embora as condições locais sejam distintas em cada ponto do mundo onde ocorre, as respostas que a definem são semelhantes, marcadas pela zanga, fúria e confronto violento, a par de apelos ao isolamento dos países e de uma preferência por governação autocrática.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Mas a crise é sobretudo decepcionante, pois não devia de todo estar a acontecer. Seria de esperar que pelo menos as sociedades mais avançadas tivessem ficado imunizadas pelos horrores da Segunda Guerra Mundial e pelas ameaças da Guerra Fria, e que tivessem encontrado maneiras de ultrapassar, de modo gradual e pacífico, quaisquer dos problemas que as culturas complexas necessariamente enfrentam. Pensando bem, deveríamos ter sido menos complacentes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Parte das sociedades que celebram a ciência e a tecnologia modernas, e que mais lucram com elas, parece estar numa situação de bancarrota “espiritual”, tanto no sentido secular como religioso do termo. A julgar pela aceitação despreocupada das crises financeiras problemáticas – a bolha da Internet de 2000, os abusos hipotecários de 2007 e o colapso bancário de 2008 – parecem igualmente estar numa situação de bancarrota moral.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Os tempos em que vivemos poderiam ser a melhor das épocas para se estar vivo, porque estamos rodeados por descobertas científicas espectaculares e por um brilho técnico que tornam a vida cada vez mais confortável e conveniente; porque a quantidade de conhecimentos disponível e a facilidade de acesso a esses conhecimentos nunca foram tão elevadas, acontecendo o mesmo em relação à interligação humana a uma escala planetária, como se prova pelas viagens, pela comunicação electrónica e pelos acordos internacionais sobre todos os tipos de cooperação científica, artística e comercial; porque a capacidade de diagnóstico, gestão e até cura de doenças continua a aumentar e a longevidade continua a prolongar-se de tal forma que se espera que os seres humanos nascidos após o ano 2000 possam viver, e bem, segundo se espera, até uma média de 100 anos. Em breve seremos conduzidos por veículos robotizados que nos poupam esforço e vidas, pois, a certa altura, deveremos ter menos acidentes fatais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;No entanto, para considerar os nossos dias como sendo os melhores de sempre seria preciso que estivéssemos muito distraídos, já para não dizer indiferentes ao drama dos restantes seres humanos que vivem na miséria. Embora a literacia científica e técnica nunca tenha estado tão desenvolvida, o público dedica muito pouco tempo à leitura de romances ou de poesia, que continuam a ser a forma mais garantida e recompensadora de penetrar na comédia e no drama da existência, e de ter oportunidade de reflectir sobre aquilo que somos ou que podemos vir a ser. Ao que parece, não há tempo a perder com a questão pouco lucrativa de, pura e simplesmente, “ser”. Parte das sociedades que celebram a ciência e a tecnologia modernas, e que mais lucram com elas, parece estar numa situação de bancarrota “espiritual”, tanto no sentido secular como religioso do termo. A julgar pela aceitação despreocupada das crises financeiras problemáticas – a bolha da Internet de 2000, os abusos hipotecários de 2007 e o colapso bancário de 2008 – parecem igualmente estar numa situação de bancarrota moral. Curiosamente, ou talvez não tanto, o nível de felicidade nas sociedades que mais beneficiaram com os espantosos progressos do nosso tempo mantém-se estável ou em declínio, caso possamos confiar nas respectivas avaliações.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://imagens.publicocdn.com/imagens.aspx/1173816?tp=UH&amp;amp;db=IMAGENS&amp;amp;w=398&quot; width=&quot;204&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ao longo das últimas quatro ou cinco décadas, o grande público das sociedades mais avançadas aceitou, com pouca ou nenhuma resistência, o tratamento cada vez mais deformado das notícias e das questões públicas concebidas para se enquadrarem no modelo de entretenimento da televisão e da rádio comerciais. As sociedades menos avançadas não têm demorado a imitar essa atitude. A conversão de quase todos os “media” de interesse público ao modelo lucrativo de negócios veio reduzir ainda mais a qualidade da informação. Embora uma sociedade viável deva preocupar-se com a forma como o Governo promove o bem-estar dos cidadãos, a noção de que se deve proceder a uma pausa diária de alguns minutos e fazer um esforço para se ficar a par das dificuldades e dos êxitos dos governos e dos cidadãos não só se tornou antiquada, como quase desapareceu. Quanto à noção de que devemos aprender algo sobre essas questões com seriedade e respeito, ela é, hoje em dia, um conceito estranho. A rádio e a televisão transformam cada questão governativa numa “história”, com a “forma” e o valor de entretenimento dessa história a contarem mais do que o seu conteúdo factual. Quando, em 1985, Neil Postman escreveu o seu livro Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, ele fez um diagnóstico correcto, mas nem sonhava que sofreríamos tanto antes de morrer. O problema agravou-se com a redução de fundos para a educação pública e com o declínio previsível da preparação de cidadãos, e, no caso dos Estados Unidos, piorou com o repúdio, em 1987, da Fairness Doctrine, que desde 1949 requeria um tratamento equilibrado dos comentários políticos. O resultado, intensificado pelo declínio dos jornais impressos e pela ascensão e domínio quase absoluto por parte da comunicação digital e da televisão, é a carência profunda de conhecimentos pormenorizados e não-partidários dos assuntos públicos, a par do abandono gradual das práticas da reflexão ponderada e do discernimento sobre os factos. É preciso ter o cuidado de não exagerar a nostalgia por um tempo que nunca existiu por completo. Nem todo o público estaria seriamente informado, reflexivo e exigente. Nem todos os cidadãos tinham reverência pela verdade e pela nobreza de espírito, já para não falar de reverência pela vida. Não obstante, o presente colapso da consciência pública séria é problemático. As sociedades humanas encontram-se previsivelmente fragmentadas segundo uma variedade de medidas, como literacia, nível de habilitações, comportamento cívico, aspirações espirituais, liberdade de expressão, acesso à justiça, estatuto económico, saúde e segurança ambiental. Dadas as circunstâncias, torna-se mais difícil do que jamais foi encorajar o público a promover e a defender uma lista de valores, direitos e obrigações que não sejam negociáveis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Dado o espantoso progresso dos novos media, o público tem a oportunidade de ficar a saber com mais pormenores do que nunca os factos por detrás das economias, o estado dos governos locais e globais, e o estado das sociedades em que vive, algo que, sem qualquer dúvida, se trata de uma vantagem que confere poder real; para além disso, a Internet fornece meios de deliberação fora das tradicionais instituições comerciais ou governamentais, outra vantagem potencial. Por outro lado, em geral, o público não dispõe nem de tempo nem de método para converter as quantidades imensas de informação em conclusões razoáveis e de uso prático. Além disso, as empresas que geram a distribuição e a agregação de informação ajudam o público de forma dúbia: o fluxo de informação é orientado por algoritmos da empresa que, por sua vez, influenciam a apresentação, de modo a adequar-se a uma variedade de interesses financeiros, políticos e sociais, a par do gosto dos utilizadores, para que estes possam continuar fechados no silo de opiniões que os entretêm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;O novo mundo da comunicação é uma bênção para os cidadãos treinados a pensar de forma crítica e informada sobre a História. Mas qual a sorte dos cidadãos que foram seduzidos por um modelo de vida como diversão e comércio? Em grande medida, foram formados por um mundo em que a provocação emocional negativa é a regra e não a excepção, e onde as melhores soluções para um problema passam, em primeiro lugar, por interesses próprios e de curto prazo. Poderemos censurá-los?Reconheça-se, a bem da verdade, que as vozes sábias do passado – as vozes dos experientes e judiciosos editores de jornais, de programas de televisão e de rádio – não eram completamente imparciais, favorecendo visões específicas quanto ao funcionamento das sociedades. Todavia, na maior parte dos casos, essas visões concretas identificavam-se com perspectivas filosóficas ou sociopolíticas específicas, às quais cada um podia resistir ou apoiar. Hoje em dia, o grande público não tem essa oportunidade. Cada um de nós tem acesso directo ao mundo através do seu dispositivo portátil, e é encorajado a maximizar a sua autonomia. Não há grande incentivo para debater, e muito menos aceitar opiniões divergentes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A disponibilidade generalizada de comunicação abundante e quase instantânea de informação pública e pessoal, um óbvio benefício, reduz, paradoxalmente, o tempo necessário para a reflexão sobre essa mesma informação. A gestão do fluxo de conhecimento disponível obriga, frequentemente, a uma rápida classificação de factos como sendo bons ou maus, agradáveis ou não. Isto contribui, porventura, para um aumento de opiniões polarizadas quanto a acontecimentos sociais e políticos. A exaustão provocada pelo excesso de factos recomenda uma fuga para as crenças e as opiniões pré-definidas, em geral as do grupo a que o indivíduo pertence. Isto agrava-se pelo facto de tendermos naturalmente a resistir à mudança de opinião, pese embora a disponibilidade de provas em contrário, e por mais inteligentes e informados que sejamos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://imagens.publicocdn.com/imagens.aspx/1173725?tp=UH&amp;amp;db=IMAGENS&amp;amp;w=718&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Foto &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;RUI GAUDÊNCIO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Trabalhos realizados pelo nosso instituto [Instituto do Cérebro e da Criatividade na Universidade da Califórnia do Sul, EUA] mostram que isso é verdade em relação a crenças políticas, mas imagino que também se aplique a uma grande variedade de crenças, desde a religião e a justiça à estética. O nosso trabalho mostra que a resistência à mudança está associada à relação conflituosa entre sistemas cerebrais relacionados com a emotividade e a razão. A resistência à mudança está associada, por exemplo, à activação de sistemas responsáveis pela produção de zanga e fúria. Criamos uma espécie de refúgio natural para nos defendermos contra a informação contraditória. Por todo o mundo os eleitores descontentes recusam-se a comparecer nas urnas. Com tal clima, a disseminação de notícias falsas e de pós-verdades fica facilitada. O mundo distópico que George Orwell em tempos descreveu, tendo a União Soviética como modelo, corresponde agora a uma situação sociopolítica diferente. A velocidade das comunicações e a resultante aceleração do ritmo de vida são igualmente possíveis contribuidores para o declínio da civilidade, identificável na impaciência do discurso público e na crescente grosseria da vida urbana.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Uma questão separada, mas importante, que continua a ser menosprezada é a natureza viciante dos media electrónicos, desde as simples comunicações poremail às redes sociais. O vício desvia tempo e atenção da experiência imediata do ambiente que nos rodeia para uma experiência mediada por uma grande variedade de dispositivos electrónicos. O vício aumenta o desenquadramento entre o volume de informação e o tempo necessário para a processar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Nota-se uma tensão crescente entre o poder de um público vasto que parece mais bem informado do que nunca, mas que não dispõe do tempo ou dos instrumentos para julgar e interpretar a informação, e o poder das empresas e dos governos que controlam a informação e sabem tudo o que há para saber acerca desse mesmo público. Como sanar o conflito resultante? Há também riscos notáveis a considerar. A possibilidade de conflitos catastróficos que envolvam armas nucleares e biológicas representam riscos reais e possivelmente mais elevados agora do que quando essas armas eram controladas pelas potências da Guerra Fria; os riscos do terrorismo e o novo risco da guerra cibernética também são reais, bem como o risco das infecções resistentes a antibióticos. Podemos culpar a modernidade, a globalização, a desigualdade da riqueza, o desemprego, a educação a menos, o entretenimento a mais, a diversidade, e a rapidez e ubiquidade radicalmente paralisantes das comunicações digitais, mas atribuir culpas não reduz os riscos, de imediato, nem resolve o problema das sociedades ingovernáveis, sejam quais forem as causas.A quebra de privacidade que acompanha o uso universal da Web e das redes sociais garante a monitorização de cada gesto e ideia humana. Todos os tipos de vigilância, desde a necessária por motivos de segurança pública até àquela que é intrusiva e mesmo abusiva, são agora uma realidade, praticados, tanto pelo Governo como pelo sector privado, com total impunidade. A vigilância faz com que a espionagem, até mesmo a espionagem das superpotências, uma actividade estabelecida que nos acompanha desde há milénios, pareça honrada e infantil. Até encontramos vigilância à venda, por lucros elevados, pela mão de uma série de empresas tecnológicas. O acesso ilimitado à informação privada está a ser usado para criar escândalos embaraçosos, mesmo que o tema da vigilância não seja de natureza criminosa. O resultado é o silêncio dos candidatos políticos, para que eles e as suas campanhas políticas não sejam destruídos por revelações pessoais. Isso tornou-se um factor importante na governação pública. Em sectores vastos das regiões mais tecnologicamente avançadas do mundo há escândalos de todas as dimensões que influenciam resultados eleitorais e fortalecem a desconfiança do público em relação às instituições políticas e às elites profissionais. Sociedades que já se debatiam com grandes problemas de desigualdade de riqueza e de deslocações humanas devido ao desemprego e às guerras tornaram-se quase ingovernáveis. Os eleitorados desorientados recordam com nostalgia passados há muito desaparecidos e miticamente melhores, ou, como alternativa, revelam uma revolta profunda. A nostalgia, no entanto, é deslocada, e a fúria, em geral, é mal dirigida. Tais reacções reflectem uma compreensão limitada da miríade de factos apresentados pelos vários órgãos de comunicação social, factos concebidos sobretudo para entreter, promover determinados interesses sociais, políticos e comerciais, e obter grandes recompensas financeiras com isso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Fonte:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;www.publico.pt/2017/11/02/ciencia/prepublicacao/o-alerta-de-antonio-damasio-para-a-bancarrota-espiritual-e-moral-das-sociedades-1791125&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/feeds/1273647495024716052/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2017/11/o-alerta-de-antonio-damasio-para.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/1273647495024716052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/1273647495024716052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2017/11/o-alerta-de-antonio-damasio-para.html' title='O alerta de António Damásio para a bancarrota espiritual e moral das sociedades'/><author><name>luisftas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16330147500251500230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xZgBgdDJbS8/S5mBGYVotxI/AAAAAAAAAJE/UdGAWV6S7dQ/S220/luisftas.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548375987288192418.post-3839795437993519572</id><published>2017-10-26T13:19:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2017-10-26T13:19:46.646+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="beba isto com açúcar"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bica"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="brasileira do chiado"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lisboa"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="luisftas"/><title type='text'>A ORIGEM DO TERMO &quot;BICA&quot;</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A ORIGEM DO TERMO &quot;BICA&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DG4NVgy2OWU/WfHSGpXLy6I/AAAAAAAAINw/BxFZu54xrA8aEIC4EUiehhJVsHeH9W4aQCLcBGAs/s1600/brasileira.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;896&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; height=&quot;280&quot; src=&quot;https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DG4NVgy2OWU/WfHSGpXLy6I/AAAAAAAAINw/BxFZu54xrA8aEIC4EUiehhJVsHeH9W4aQCLcBGAs/s400/brasileira.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Não existe um consenso relativamente à origem da palavra “bica”, normalmente utilizada para designar uma chávena de café em muitas zonas do país, especialmente em Lisboa. Uma das versões refere que, quando surgiram em Portugal as primeiras máquinas de café expresso, os frequentadores dos estabelecimentos não estavam habituados ao seu sabor forte e amargo. Como consequência, este tipo de café não era muito pedido. Como forma de contornar este problema, foram colocados cartazes nos estabelecimentos com o slogan “Beba isto com açúcar”. A campanha resultou e, das iniciais de cada palavra (BICA) nasceu a designação para esta bebida. Há quem refira que tudo isto se passou no mítico café A Brasileira do Chiado, sendo da iniciativa da gerência a criação do slogan com o objectivo de promover o consumo da bebida de uma forma agradável para os seus clientes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FU2lgLv3rdY/WfHSHPRwnLI/AAAAAAAAIN0/f1AFDmBxGbsuOc2SvyDYY-UVLXb8Gg8OgCLcBGAs/s1600/brasileira_i.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;480&quot; data-original-width=&quot;720&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FU2lgLv3rdY/WfHSHPRwnLI/AAAAAAAAIN0/f1AFDmBxGbsuOc2SvyDYY-UVLXb8Gg8OgCLcBGAs/s400/brasileira_i.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Antes de passarmos à segunda versão para a origem da palavra “bica” vamos recuar um pouco no tempo no que se refere à preparação da bebida. Inicialmente, o café era preparado numa cafeteira com água a ferver, onde se dissolvia o café moído ou a cevada (o chamado café de cevada). Chamava-se a esta bebida “café de borras”, devido às amargas e incómodas borras que se formavam a partir do café não dissolvido. Para contornar esta situação surgiram “sacos” porosos cuja função era coar o café. Ainda hoje há quem prefira o chamado “café de saco”, recorrendo a filtros comprados em qualquer estabelecimento comercial e a máquinas modernas. Mais tarde surgiram umas máquinas de forma cilíndrica onde o café moído era dissolvido, coado e pressionado, sendo depois vertido para as chávenas, ou para os tradicionais copos de vidro grosso, através de uma torneira (bica). Após esta pequena explicação, podemos então passar à segunda versão para a origem da “bica” e que tem como principal palco um dos mais míticos cafés alfacinhas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eXCUGKggbBg/WfHSGkolznI/AAAAAAAAINs/1NbBSvrFK8I_-3mAYiuSt1a-AUfMWPUpwCLcBGAs/s1600/1280px-Interior_do_Caf%25C3%25A9_A_Brasileira.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;857&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; src=&quot;https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eXCUGKggbBg/WfHSGkolznI/AAAAAAAAINs/1NbBSvrFK8I_-3mAYiuSt1a-AUfMWPUpwCLcBGAs/s400/1280px-Interior_do_Caf%25C3%25A9_A_Brasileira.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;A Brasileira do Chiado abriu as suas portas ao público a 19 de Novembro de 1905, vendendo o “genuíno café do Brasil”. Adriano Telles, seu fundador, vivera bastante tempo no Brasil, mantendo aí contactos que lhe permitiam importar café e outros produtos sem dificuldade. Três anos depois, o sucesso do estabelecimento levou a que se construísse uma Sala de Café, novidade na época e que rapidamente se tornou local de encontro obrigatório da elite da cidade de Lisboa. Advogados, médicos, jornalistas, artistas (entre eles Fernando Pessoa e Almada Negreiros), revolucionários e estudantes ali se juntavam para beber café e conversar. A partir de 1920, dizia-se inclusive que no Porto e em Coimbra se trabalhava e estudava e que em Lisboa se conversava e faziam revoluções. Nesse início de século não existiam ainda as máquinas de café expresso, sendo o café passado por sacos e vertido por uma torneirinha (bica) para cafeteiras utilizadas para servir o café à mesa. Nestas cafeteiras o café acabava invariavelmente por arrefecer e perder o seu aroma. Conta-se que um dia alguns clientes reclamaram da qualidade do café, sendo necessária a intervenção do proprietário que pediu a um empregado para encher uma chávena directamente da bica, ou seja, do saco. Com um sabor e aroma mais intensos, os clientes adoraram a bebida passando a pedir que o seu café fosse trazido directamente da bica numa chávena. Nasceu assim o termo “bica”.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/feeds/3839795437993519572/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2017/10/a-origem-do-termo-bica.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/3839795437993519572'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/3839795437993519572'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2017/10/a-origem-do-termo-bica.html' title='A ORIGEM DO TERMO &quot;BICA&quot;'/><author><name>luisftas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16330147500251500230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xZgBgdDJbS8/S5mBGYVotxI/AAAAAAAAAJE/UdGAWV6S7dQ/S220/luisftas.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DG4NVgy2OWU/WfHSGpXLy6I/AAAAAAAAINw/BxFZu54xrA8aEIC4EUiehhJVsHeH9W4aQCLcBGAs/s72-c/brasileira.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548375987288192418.post-6562954066844180111</id><published>2016-10-28T16:51:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2016-10-28T16:51:15.595+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Daniel Garcia Art"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lifestyle"/><title type='text'>Lifestyle</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style=&quot;background-color: white;

Say hello and good bye. Say thank you and smile to the waiter or waitress or uber driver or bus driver. To the clerk, to whoever you have to exchange words with during the day.. grab a real book. Smell the paper. Feel the texture. Listen to the noise of pages being turned. Carry it around with you or comics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care of a plant and a pet. Take a dog to walk outside instead of taking a video of it sleeping. Lay on the grass and watch the sky. The leaves. Feel the air. Watch the rain fall instead of taking a picture of it. Do not take a selfie in at least one week. Do not watch the news. Go help someone with something instead like going to the grocery store for someone, get them their meds or help them clean up or go for a ride with a friend you have not seen in a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program quick lunches with pals who might be in the area at the moment. My brother does that: &quot;who&#39;s in town near X right now? Let&#39;s get a coffee&quot; and then two or three get together even if his friends haven&#39;t met between them before. They have my brother in common. And they make new friends. Sit to wstch people while you have lunch or dinner outside. Dare yourself to not touch FB, Snapchat, Whatsapp, IG for a whole day or more and just call people on the phone. No texting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Draw. Even if you don&#39;t know how to. Look for real groups to do stuff you like llike biking, bicycling, skating (even if your older than 50, fuck that, do what you like), gardening, hiking, running, swimming, bird watching, crafting, cosplaying, get to learn something you have never done before like knitting, cooking special exotic meals, wood work, painting, star gazing, singing, get in a choir, learn to play an instrument and do not stop.

Sing out loud in the shower. Feed doves. Help homeless people. Visit elderly people&#39;s shelters and listen to their stories. Help a neighbor fix his roof or wash your car with your kids and play with water. Pillow fighting. Organize water balloon fights or Nerf battles with friends at a park. Paint ball wars. Learn a martial art. Learn Yoga even if it&#39;s trending and over rated. Yoga and Tai Chi is always good no matter if it&#39;s popular or not. Lose weight, gain weight, exercise, eat right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop drug abuse, get clean. Find someone, leave that abusive person or quit that sick relationship and move on. Meet new people but do it right. No cheating even if he or she cheats on you already. You do it right. Save that relationship. Save that marriage or move on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever make a kite fly before? Make love using candle lights. Last longer. Kiss longer. Hug longer. Try new positions, different places. Try that icecream flavor you always ignore, try a new drink. Save money and go travel to another country. Go backpacking across the country and offer to work on anything in exchange for a bed and a meal. Do the lawn. Plant flowers and trees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be friends with that foreign person. Talk to that white girl, to that black guy, to that asian kid, to the russian lady, to that veteran, to that rasta man, to the latina clerk or teacher or secretary or mom or gym instructor or executive, to the middle eastern couple, that gay couple.Talk to them. Smile. Shake hands. Help those spanish or mexican or french or german tourists. Offer help, directions, learn from them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn to dance. Get in a plastic pool on summer if you don&#39;t have a real pool. Have fun. Sun glasses, a drink, sunblock, a hat, get your ass in that kid&#39;s pool with your dog and relax. Invite friends. Fill your house with balloons for the fuck of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organize a Garage Sell. Clean your car. Rearrange your bed room. Throw old stuff. Clean those collectables, toys and figures. Throw those old shoes or give them to a homeless person. Fix your home. Bake bread. Quit that stupid job and do something different for once.

Be a clerk, be a bartender, be a waitress, make bread and sell it, work at a coffee place, selling surf boards, be a school bus driver, be a tourist bus driver, do something that makes you deal with people in person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These jobs wont pay much but it&#39;s a good job and there is nothi g shameful about these jobs at all. It&#39;s reality. Work on something that is helpful or brings joy to people somehow. Work at an amusement park or Haunted house. Look them in the eyes. Shake hands and smile. Connect. Charity work once a week. Visit cancer patients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respect even if you are not respected. Say thanks even if they don&#39;t thank you.

Mas quando você não pode controlar as pessoas pela força, você tem  que controlar o que as pessoas pensam, e a maneira típica de fazer isso é através da propaganda (fabricação de consentimento, criação  de ilusões necessárias), marginalizando o público em geral ou  reduzindo-a a alguma forma de apatia&quot; (Chomsky, N., 1993)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Inspirado nas idéias de Noam Chomsky, o francês Sylvain Timsit elaborou a lista das “10 estratégias mais comuns de manipulação em massa através dos meios de comunicação de massa“&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Sylvain Timsit elenca estratégias utilizadas diariamente há dezenas de anos para manobrar massas, criar um senso comum e conseguir fazer a população agir conforme interesses de uma pequena elite mundial.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Qualquer semelhança com a situação atual de Portugal não é mera coincidência, os grandes meios de comunicação sempre estiveram alinhados com essas elites e praticam incansavelmente várias dessas estratégias para manipular diariamente as massas, até chegar um momento que você realmente crê que o pensamento é seu.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://dausacker.wordpress.com/2016/02/14/10-estrategias-de-manipulacao-em-massa-utilizadas-diariamente-contra-a-populacao/manipulacao-em-massa/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://dausacker.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/manipulacao-em-massa.png?w=645&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;1. A estratégia da Distração&lt;/h3&gt;O elemento primordial do controle social é a estratégia da distração, que consiste em desviar a atenção do público dos problemas importantes e das mudanças decididas pelas elites políticas e económicas, mediante a técnica do dilúvio, ou inundação de contínuas distrações e de informações insignificantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A estratégia da distração é igualmente indispensável para impedir o público de interessar-se por conhecimentos essenciais, nas áreas da ciência, economia, psicologia, neurobiologia e cibernética.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Manter a atenção do público distraída, longe dos verdadeiros problemas sociais, cativada por temas sem importância real. Manter o público ocupado, ocupado, ocupado, sem nenhum tempo para pensar; de volta à granja como os outros animais“&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;2. Criar problemas e depois oferecer soluções&lt;/h3&gt;Este método também é chamado “problema-reação-solução“. Se cria um problema, uma “situação” prevista para causar certa reação no público, a fim de que este seja o mandante das medidas que se deseja aceitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por exemplo: Deixar que se desenvolva ou que se intensifique a violência urbana, ou organizar atentados sangrentos, a fim de que o público seja o mandante de leis de segurança e políticas desfavoráveis à liberdade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ou também: Criar uma crise económica para fazer aceitar como um mal necessário o retrocesso dos direitos sociais e o desmantelamento dos serviços públicos. (qualquer semelhança com a atual situação do Brasil não é mera coincidência).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;3. A estratégia da gradualidade&lt;/h3&gt;Para fazer que se aceite uma medida inaceitável, basta aplicá-la gradualmente, a conta-gotas, por anos consecutivos. Foi dessa maneira que condições socioeconómicas radicalmente novas, neoliberalismo por exemplo, foram impostas durante as décadas de 1980 e 1990. Estratégia também utilizada por Hitler e por vários líderes comunistas.  E comumente utilizada pelas grandes meios de comunicação.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;4. A estratégia de diferir&lt;/h3&gt;Outra maneira de se fazer aceitar uma decisão impopular é a de apresentá-la como “dolorosa e necessária“, obtendo a aceitação pública, no momento, para uma aplicação futura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É mais fácil aceitar um sacrifício futuro do que um sacrifício imediato. Primeiro, porque o esforço não é empregado imediatamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois, porque o público, a massa, tem sempre a tendência a esperar ingenuamente que “amanhã tudo irá melhorar” e que o sacrifício exigido poderá ser evitado. Isto dá mais tempo ao público para acostumar-se à ideia da mudança e aceitá-la com resignação quando chegue o momento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;5. Dirigir-se ao público como crianças&lt;/h3&gt;A maioria da publicidade dirigida ao grande público utiliza discurso, argumentos, personagens e entoação particularmente infantis, muitas vezes próximos à debilidade, como se o espectador fosse uma criança de pouca idade ou um deficiente mental.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanto mais se tenta enganar ao espectador, mais se tende a adotar um tom infantilizante. Por quê? “Se alguém se dirige a uma pessoa como se ela tivesse a idade de 12 anos ou menos, então, em razão da sugestionabilidade, ela tenderá, com certa probabilidade, a uma resposta ou reação também desprovida de um sentido crítico como as de uma pessoa de 12 anos ou menos de idade.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;6. Utilizar o aspecto emocional muito mais do que a reflexão&lt;/h3&gt;Fazer uso do aspecto emocional é uma técnica clássica para causar um curto circuito na análise racional, e finalmente no sentido crítico dos indivíduos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por outro lado, a utilização do registro emocional permite abrir a porta de acesso ao inconsciente para implantar ou injetar ideias, desejos, medos e temores, compulsões ou induzir comportamentos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 7. Manter o público na ignorância e na mediocridade&lt;/h3&gt;Fazer com que o público seja incapaz de compreender as tecnologias e os métodos utilizados para seu controle e sua escravidão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A qualidade da educação dada às classes sociais inferiores deve ser a mais pobre e medíocre possível, de forma que a distância da ignorância que paira entre as classes inferiores e as classes sociais superiores seja e permaneça impossível de ser revertida por estas classes mais baixas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;8. Estimular o público a ser complacente com a mediocridade&lt;/h3&gt;Promover ao público a crer que é moda o ato de ser estúpido, vulgar e inculto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;9. Reforçar a auto-culpabilidade&lt;/h3&gt;Fazer com que o indivíduo acredite que somente ele é culpado pela sua própria desgraça, por causa da insuficiência de sua inteligência, suas capacidades, ou de seus esforços.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assim, no lugar de se rebelar contra o sistema econômico, o indivíduo se auto desvaloriza e se culpa, o que gera um estado depressivo, cujo um dos efeitos é a inibição de sua ação. E, sem ação, não há questionamento!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;10. Conhecer aos indivíduos melhor do que eles mesmos se conhecem&lt;/h3&gt;No transcurso dos últimos 50 anos, os avanços acelerados da ciência têm gerado uma crescente brecha entre os conhecimentos do público e aqueles possuídos e utilizados pelas elites dominantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graças à biologia, a neurobiologia a psicologia aplicada, o “sistema” tem desfrutado de um conhecimento avançado sobre a psique do ser humano, tanto em sua forma física como psicologicamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O sistema tem conseguido conhecer melhor o indivíduo comum do que ele conhece a si mesmo. Isto significa que, na maioria dos casos, o sistema exerce um controle maior e um grande poder sobre os indivíduos, maior que o dos indivíduos sobre si mesmos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://dausacker.wordpress.com/2016/02/14/10-estrategias-de-manipulacao-em-massa-utilizadas-diariamente-contra-a-populacao/manipulacao-em-massa1/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://dausacker.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/manipulacao-em-massa1.jpg?w=645&amp;amp;h=263&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fonte: &lt;a href=&quot;http://yogui.co/&quot;&gt;http://yogui.co&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/feeds/5319320904879776917/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2016/09/10-estrategias-de-manipulacao-em-massa.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/5319320904879776917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/5319320904879776917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2016/09/10-estrategias-de-manipulacao-em-massa.html' title='10 Estratégias de Manipulação em Massa utilizadas diariamente contra a população'/><author><name>luisftas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16330147500251500230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xZgBgdDJbS8/S5mBGYVotxI/AAAAAAAAAJE/UdGAWV6S7dQ/S220/luisftas.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548375987288192418.post-2914144409275368881</id><published>2015-10-30T16:41:00.001+00:00</published><updated>2015-10-30T16:41:38.315+00:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Chaz Hutton"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ilustrações"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="luisftas"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Vida"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Vida adulta"/><title type='text'>Vida Adulta</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;A SUA VIDA ADULTA RESUMIDA EM 15 ILUSTRAÇÕES&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A Vida adulta é complicada, nós compreendemos.

Três anos depois, em 1891, o Congresso Operário Internacional convocou, em França, uma manifestação anual, em homenagem às lutas sindicais de Chicago. A primeira acabou com 10 mortos, em consequência da intervenção policial. São os factos históricos que transformaram 1 de maio no Dia do Trabalhador. Até 1886, os trabalhadores jamais pensaram exigir seus direitos, apenas trabalhavam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.euronews.com%2Farticles%2F223016%2F600x449_HaymarketRiot-Harpers-classic.jpg&amp;amp;container=blogger&amp;amp;gadget=a&amp;amp;rewriteMime=image%2F*&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;No dia 23 de abril de 1919, o Senado francês ratificou as 8 horas de trabalho e proclamou o dia 1º de maio como feriado, e um anos depois a Rússia fez o mesmo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;No Brasil é costume os governos anunciarem o aumento anual do salário mínimo no dia 1 de maio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;No calendário litúrgico celebra-se a memória de São José Operário por tratar-se do santo padroeiro dos trabalhadores.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Em Portugal, os trabalhadores assinalaram o 1.º de Maio logo em 1890, o primeiro ano da sua realização internacional. Mas as ações do Dia do Trabalhador limitavam-se inicialmente a alguns piqueniques de confraternização, com discursos pelo meio, e a algumas romagens aos cemitérios em homenagem aos operários e ativistas caídos na luta pelos seus direitos laborais.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Com as alterações qualitativas assumidas pelo sindicalismo português no fim da Monarquia, ao longo da I República transformou-se num sindicalismo reivindicativo, consolidado e ampliado. O 1.º de Maio adquiriu também características de ação de massas. Até que, em 1919, após algumas das mais gloriosas lutas do sindicalismo e dos trabalhadores portugueses, foi conquistada e consagrada na lei a jornada de oito horas para os trabalhadores do comércio e da indústria.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Mesmo no Estado Novo, os portugueses souberam tornear os obstáculos do regime à expressão das liberdades. As greves e as manifestações realizadas em 1962, um ano após o início da guerra colonial em Angola, são provavelmente as mais relevantes e carregadas de simbolismo. Nesse período, apesar das proibições e da repressão, houve manifestações dos pescadores, dos corticeiros, dos telefonistas, dos bancários, dos trabalhadores da Carris e da CUF. No dia 1 de Maio, em Lisboa, manifestaram-se 100 000 pessoas, no Porto 20 000 e em Setúbal, 5000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ficarão como marco indelével na história do operariado português, as revoltas dos assalariados agrícolas dos campos do Alentejo, que tiveram o seu grande impulso no 1.º de Maio de 62. Mais de 200 mil operários agrícolas que até então trabalhavam de sol a sol, participaram nas greves realizadas e impuseram aos agrários e ao governo de Salazar a jornada de oito horas de trabalho diário.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Claro que o o 1.º de Maio mais extraordinário realizado até hoje, em Portugal, com direito a destaque certo na história, foi o que se realizou oito dias depois do 25 de Abril de 1974.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;250&quot; src=&quot;https://images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.euronews.com%2Farticles%2F223016%2F600x469_portugal-revolucao-cravos-25-abril.jpg&amp;amp;container=blogger&amp;amp;gadget=a&amp;amp;rewriteMime=image%2F*&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;O Dia do Trabalhador também tem sido tubulento na Turquia, muitas vezes violento e mortal. Este ano fica marcado por uma originalidade : o regime não quis proibir diretamente a manifestação tradicional na PraçaTaksim. Mas começou uma renovação completamente desproporcionada para impedir a chegada a concentração de trabalhadores e intelectuais no local histórico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;No Japão, o 1° de maio é comemorado a… 23 de novembro, desde 1948. É chamado de Kinrou Kansha no Hi ( きんろうかんしゃのひ / 勤労感謝 の日), que traduzindo seria “Dia da Ação de Graças ao Trabalho“.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Muito antes de ser considerado o Dia do Trabalhador, 1 de maio foi dia de outros factos históricos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Em 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral tomou posse da Ilha de Vera Cruz (atual Brasil), em nome do Rei de Portugal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Já em 1707, passou a vigorar o Tratado de União, que transformou os reinos da Inglaterra e da Escócia em Reino Unido. A ópera ‘As Bodas de Fígaro’, de Mozart, estreou em Viena, Áustria, neste dia, em 1786. E em 1834 foi abolida a escravatura nas colónias inglesas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No primeiro dia de maio de 1960, iniciou-se uma crise diplomática entre antiga União Soviética e os&amp;nbsp;EUA, com o abate do U-2, um avião espião norte-americano, pilotado por Francis Gary Powers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;O automobilismo sofre uma grande perda num 1° de maio: em 1994, no Grande Prémio de San Marino, o brasileiro Ayrton Senna sofreu um acidente grave e morreu no mesmo dia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A 1 de maio de 2004, a União Europeia cresceu, com a entrada de mais dez países: República Checa, Hungria, Chipre, Eslováquia, Polónia, Eslovénia, Estónia, Letónia, Lituânia e Malta.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;E em 2011, 1 de maio foi dia da beatificação do Papa João Paulo II, exatamente no dia em que Barack Obama disse “We got him”, referindo-se ao terrorista Osama Bin Laden, capturado e morto numa operação norte-americana, no Paquistão.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nasceram neste dia Jean de Joinville, escritor francês (1225), Aleksey Khomyakov, poeta russo (1804), e Sidónio Pais, presidente da República de Portugal (1872).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;

I’ve found myself a well-paying gig in the engineering industry, and life finally feels like it’s returning to normal after my nine months of traveling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Because I had been living quite a different lifestyle while I was away, this sudden transition to 9-to-5 existence has exposed something about it that I overlooked before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Since the moment I was offered the job, I’ve been markedly more careless with my money. Not stupid, just a little quick to pull out my wallet. As a small example, I’m buying expensive coffees again, even though they aren’t nearly as good as New Zealand’s exceptional flat whites, and I don’t get to savor the experience of drinking them on a sunny café patio. When I was away these purchases were less off-handed, and I enjoyed them more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I’m not talking about big, extravagant purchases. I’m talking about small-scale, casual, promiscuous spending on stuff that doesn’t really add a whole lot to my life. And I won’t actually get paid for another two weeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 1.6 !important;&quot;&gt;In hindsight I think I’ve always done this when I’ve been well-employed — spending happily during the “flush times.” Having spent nine months living a no-income backpacking lifestyle, I can’t help but be a little more aware of this phenomenon as it happens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose I do it because I feel I’ve regained a certain stature, now that I am again an amply-paid professional, which seems to entitle me to a certain level of wastefulness. There is a curious feeling of power you get when you drop a couple of twenties without a trace of critical thinking. It feels good to exercise that power of the dollar when you know it will “grow back” pretty quickly anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I’m doing isn’t unusual at all. Everyone else seems to do this. In fact, I think I’ve only returned to the normal consumer mentality after having spent some time away from it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;One of the most surprising discoveries I made during my trip was that I spent much less per month traveling foreign counties (including countries more expensive than Canada) than I did as a regular working joe back home. I had much more free time, I was visiting some of the most beautiful places in the world, I was meeting new people left and right, I was calm and peaceful and otherwise having an unforgettable time, and somehow it cost me much less than my humble 9-5 lifestyle here in one of Canada’s least expensive cities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;It seems I got much more for my dollar when I was traveling. Why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;A Culture of Unnecessaries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Here in the West, a lifestyle of unnecessary spending has been deliberately cultivated and nurtured in the public by big business. Companies in all kinds of industries have a huge stake in the public’s penchant to be careless with their money. They will seek to encourage the public’s habit of casual or non-essential spending whenever they can.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;In the documentary&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;The Corporation&lt;/em&gt;, a marketing psychologist discussed one of the methods she used to increase sales. Her staff carried out a study on what effect the nagging of children had on their parents’ likelihood of buying a toy for them. They found out that 20% to 40% of the purchases of their toys&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;would not have occurred&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;if the child didn’t nag its parents. One in four visits to theme parks would not have taken place. They used these studies to market their products directly to children, encouraging them to nag their parents to buy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This marketing campaign alone represents many millions of dollars that were spent because of demand that was completely manufactured.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 5px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 10px 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6 !important;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;“You can manipulate consumers into wanting, and therefore buying, your products. It’s a game.” ~ Lucy Hughes, co-creator of “The Nag Factor”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This is only one small example of something that has been going on for a very long time. Big companies didn’t make their millions by earnestly promoting the virtues of their products, they made it by creating a culture of hundreds of millions of people that buy way more than they need and try to chase away dissatisfaction with money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;We buy stuff to cheer ourselves up, to keep up with the Joneses, to fulfill our childhood vision of what our adulthood would be like, to broadcast our status to the world, and for a lot of other psychological reasons that have very little to do with how useful the product really is. How much stuff is in your basement or garage that you haven’t used in the past year?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The real reason for the forty-hour workweek&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The ultimate tool for corporations to sustain a culture of this sort is to develop the 40-hour workweek as the normal lifestyle. Under these working conditions people have to build a life in the evenings and on weekends. This arrangement makes us naturally more inclined to spend heavily on entertainment and conveniences because our free time is so scarce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I’ve only been back at work for a few days, but already I’m noticing that the more wholesome activities are quickly dropping out of my life: walking, exercising, reading, meditating, and extra writing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The one conspicuous similarity between these activities is that they cost little or no money, but they take time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Suddenly I have a lot more money and a lot less time, which means I have a lot more in common with the typical working North American than I did a few months ago. While I was abroad I wouldn’t have thought twice about spending the day wandering through a national park or reading my book on the beach for a few hours. Now that kind of stuff feels like it’s out of the question. Doing either one would take most of one of my precious weekend days!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is exercise. It’s also the last thing I want to do after dinner or before bed or as soon as I wake, and that’s really all the time I have on a weekday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This seems like a problem with a simple answer: work less so I’d have more free time. I’ve already proven to myself that I can live a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://amzn.to/Z9GdtG&quot; style=&quot;background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0073fa; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;fulfilling lifestyle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with less than I make right now. Unfortunately, this is close to impossible in my industry, and most others. You work 40-plus hours or you work zero. My clients and contractors are all firmly entrenched in the standard-workday culture, so it isn’t practical to ask them not to ask anything of me after 1pm, even if I could convince my employer not to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The eight-hour workday developed during the industrial revolution in Britain in the 19th century, as a respite for factory workers who were being exploited with 14- or 16-hour workdays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;As technologies and methods advanced, workers in all industries became able to produce much more value in a shorter amount of time. You’d think this would lead to shorter workdays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials.

We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Western economies, particularly that of the United States, have been built in a very calculated manner on gratification, addiction, and unnecessary spending. We spend to cheer ourselves up, to reward ourselves, to celebrate, to fix problems, to elevate our status, and to alleviate boredom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you imagine what would happen if all of America stopped buying so much unnecessary fluff that doesn’t add a lot of lasting value to our lives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The economy would collapse and never recover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;All of America’s well-publicized problems, including obesity, depression, pollution and corruption are what it costs to create and sustain a trillion-dollar economy. For the economy to be “healthy”, America has to remain unhealthy. Healthy, happy people don’t feel like they need much they don’t already have, and that means they don’t buy a lot of junk, don’t need to be entertained as much, and they don’t end up watching a lot of commercials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The culture of the eight-hour workday is big business’ most powerful tool for keeping people in this same dissatisfied state where the answer to every problem is to buy something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;You may have heard of Parkinson’s Law. It is often used in reference to time usage: the more time you’ve been given to do something, the more time it will take you to do it. It’s amazing how much you can get done in twenty minutes if twenty minutes is all you have. But if you have all afternoon, it would probably take way longer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Most of us treat our money this way. The more we make, the more we spend. It’s not that we suddenly&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;need&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;to buy more just because we make more, only that we&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;can&lt;/em&gt;, so we do. In fact, it’s quite difficult for us to avoid increasing our standard of living (or at least our rate of spending) every time we get a raise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I don’t think it’s necessary to shun the whole ugly system and go live in the woods, pretending to be a deaf-mute, as Holden Caulfield often fantasized. But we could certainly do well to understand what big commerce really wants us to be. They’ve been working for decades to create millions of ideal consumers, and they have succeeded. Unless you’re a real anomaly, your lifestyle has already been designed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The perfect customer is dissatisfied but hopeful, uninterested in serious personal development, highly habituated to the television, working full-time, earning a fair amount, indulging during their free time, and somehow just getting by.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Is this you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Two weeks ago I would have said hell no, that’s not me, but if all my weeks were like this one has been, that might be wishful thinking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-margin-before: 0px; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6 !important; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 1.6 !important;&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;Photo by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/joelogon/&quot; style=&quot;background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0073fa; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;joelogon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/feeds/7425933276053611172/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2015/02/your-lifestyle-has-already-been.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/7425933276053611172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3548375987288192418/posts/default/7425933276053611172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rubenftas.blogspot.com/2015/02/your-lifestyle-has-already-been.html' title='Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (The Real Reason For The Forty-Hour Workweek)'/><author><name>luisftas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16330147500251500230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xZgBgdDJbS8/S5mBGYVotxI/AAAAAAAAAJE/UdGAWV6S7dQ/S220/luisftas.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548375987288192418.post-1156317226817776999</id><published>2015-02-08T03:55:00.002+00:00</published><updated>2015-02-08T03:55:59.504+00:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Entenda dos Homens"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Não tenhas medo da luz acessa"/><title type='text'>Não tenhas medo da luz acessa</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;fb-like&quot; data-action=&quot;like&quot; data-font=&quot;&quot; data-href=&quot;http://jafoste.net/nao-tenhas-medo-da-luz-acesa/&quot; data-layout=&quot;standard&quot; data-send=&quot;true&quot; data-width=&quot;450&quot; show_faces=&quot;false&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-737dE1LXwEE/VNbeBHDrXcI/AAAAAAAAHXo/oUuEvymCTXA/s1600/untitled_by_brianmphotography-d6xzlos.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-737dE1LXwEE/VNbeBHDrXcI/AAAAAAAAHXo/oUuEvymCTXA/s1600/untitled_by_brianmphotography-d6xzlos.jpg&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;183&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Ela saiu da banheira repentinamente, de forma acrobática deu uma volta rápida de 180º e saiu a fazer um Moonwalk para que eu não pudesse olhar directamente para o seu bumbum. Num piscar de olhos, conseguiu esconder a sua parte mais linda atrás de um desnecessário roupão. Sim, eu sei que mesmo depois de alguns bons meses juntos, momentos bem passados, garrafas de vinho extintas e os nossos suores misturados, ela ainda tem vergonha de mim e, infelizmente, não consegue livrar-se do medo que tem de expor as suas características humanas aos meus olhos, não menos humanos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Pois fica a saber que, muitas vezes, privas-me dos teus melhores ângulos como se eu fosse um crítico rasca de um programa de TV e, a qualquer momento, fosse tirar do bolso uma placa com a nota zero, para assim te humilhar e te fazer sair do palco a engolir o choro. Quero que saibas, de uma vez por todas, que eu sempre aplaudirei os teus passos ensaiados e que não deixarei de te amar nem um pouquinho, nas tantas vezes que ainda irás tropeçar e cair como qualquer pessoa faz. Pelo contrário, vou sempre levantar-te pelos pulsos e, quando isso não for possível, vou atirar-me ao chão junto contigo para rirmos da vida deitados no asfalto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Porque gosto mesmo quando tu abandonas o guião e não percebes que estás com a pontinha do nariz suja de gelado. Adoro quando nos teletransportamos da discoteca diretamente para a cama e quando lá te deixo sem forças até para tirares a maquilhagem, pois no dia seguinte tu ficas linda a parecer uma panda de ressaca.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Quero que saibas agora, e não amanhã, o quanto eu te acho bonita mesmo quando fazes caretas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Não tens ideia de como eu ficaria feliz se tu, pelo menos uma vez, relaxasses e soltasses a barriga enquanto comemos batatas fritas sentados em cima da cama. Eu não tenho nada contra as tuas dobrinhas e espero que tu também não temas a minha barriga nem as ausências ao ginásio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;É claro que te adoro ver dentro daquela camisa de dormir sexy, mas também quero que saibas o quanto adoro ver-te a vestir aquela camisola apertada e aqueles jeans antigos do tempo do colégio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Adoraria que tu te esquecesses de pedir para apagar a luz e me permitisses devorar com os olhos cada cantinho teu – porque, afinal, se estou contigo agora, significa que é contigo que quero estar e que te acho linda do jeito que tu és.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;E é óbvio que aquele teu salto alto me deixa louco só de olhar, mas peço que uses mais vezes aquelas sapatilhas vermelhas super confortáveis, e sabes porquê? Porque o teu bem-estar também me deixa excitado e porque adoro saber que na minha frente, em cima de mim, ao meu lado e comigo, tu te sentes realmente livre para ser humana e para te despires de verdade, não apenas as roupas, mas também essa desnecessária vontade de parecer perfeita.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999999;&quot;&gt;Adaptado de: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.entendaoshomens.com.br/nao-tenha-medo-da-luz-acesa/&quot;

That the world would keep on turning if you weren’t doing that thing you do 9-5?&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/davidgraeber&quot;&gt;David Graeber&lt;/a&gt; explored the phenomenon of bullshit jobs for our recent summer issue – everyone who’s employed should read carefully…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://strikemag.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/exploitedape.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://strikemag.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/exploitedape.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.johnriordan.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Illustration by John Riordan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the year 1930, John Maynard Keynes predicted that, by century’s end, technology would have advanced sufficiently that countries like Great Britain or the United States would have achieved a 15-hour work week. There’s every reason to believe he was right. In technological terms, we are quite capable of this. And yet it didn’t happen. Instead, technology has been marshaled, if anything, to figure out ways to make us all work more. In order to achieve this, jobs have had to be created that are, effectively, pointless. Huge swathes of people, in Europe and North America in particular, spend their entire working lives performing tasks they secretly believe do not really need to be performed. The moral and spiritual damage that comes from this situation is profound. It is a scar across our collective soul. Yet virtually no one talks about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did Keynes’ promised utopia – still being eagerly awaited in the ‘60s – never materialise? The standard line today is that he didn’t figure in the massive increase in consumerism. Given the choice between less hours and more toys and pleasures, we’ve collectively chosen the latter. This presents a nice morality tale, but even a moment’s reflection shows it can’t really be true. Yes, we have witnessed the creation of an endless variety of new jobs and industries since the ‘20s, but very few have anything to do with the production and distribution of sushi, iPhones, or fancy sneakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are these new jobs, precisely? A recent report comparing employment in the US between 1910 and 2000 gives us a clear picture (and I note, one pretty much exactly echoed in the UK). Over the course of the last century, the number of workers employed as domestic servants, in industry, and in the farm sector has collapsed dramatically. At the same time, “professional, managerial, clerical, sales, and service workers” tripled, growing “from one-quarter to three-quarters of total employment.” In other words, productive jobs have, just as predicted, been largely automated away (even if you count industrial workers globally, including the toiling masses in India and China, such workers are still not nearly so large a percentage of the world population as they used to be).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But rather than allowing a massive reduction of working hours to free the world’s population to pursue their own projects, pleasures, visions, and ideas, we have seen the ballooning not even so much of the “service” sector as of the administrative sector, up to and including the creation of whole new industries like financial services or telemarketing, or the unprecedented expansion of sectors like corporate law, academic and health administration, human resources, and public relations. And these numbers do not even reflect on all those people whose job is to provide administrative, technical, or security support for these industries, or for that matter the whole host of ancillary industries (dog-washers, all-night pizza deliverymen) that only exist because everyone else is spending so much of their time working in all the other ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are what I propose to call “bullshit jobs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s as if someone were out there making up pointless jobs just for the sake of keeping us all working. And here, precisely, lies the mystery. In capitalism, this is precisely what is not supposed to happen. Sure, in the old inefficient socialist states like the Soviet Union, where employment was considered both a right and a sacred duty, the system made up as many jobs as they had to (this is why in Soviet department stores it took three clerks to sell a piece of meat). But, of course, this is the very sort of problem market competition is supposed to fix. According to economic theory, at least, the last thing a profit-seeking firm is going to do is shell out money to workers they don’t really need to employ. Still, somehow, it happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While corporations may engage in ruthless downsizing, the layoffs and speed-ups invariably fall on that class of people who are actually making, moving, fixing and maintaining things; through some strange alchemy no one can quite explain, the number of salaried paper-pushers ultimately seems to expand, and more and more employees find themselves, not unlike Soviet workers actually, working 40 or even 50 hour weeks on paper, but effectively working 15 hours just as Keynes predicted, since the rest of their time is spent organising or attending motivational seminars, updating their facebook profiles or downloading TV box-sets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer clearly isn’t economic: it’s moral and political. The ruling class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger (think of what started to happen when this even began to be approximated in the ‘60s). And, on the other hand, the feeling that work is a moral value in itself, and that anyone not willing to submit themselves to some kind of intense work discipline for most of their waking hours deserves nothing, is extraordinarily convenient for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once, when contemplating the apparently endless growth of administrative responsibilities in British academic departments, I came up with one possible vision of hell. Hell is a collection of individuals who are spending the bulk of their time working on a task they don’t like and are not especially good at. Say they were hired because they were excellent cabinet-makers, and then discover they are expected to spend a great deal of their time frying fish. Neither does the task really need to be done – at least, there’s only a very limited number of fish that need to be fried. Yet somehow, they all become so obsessed with resentment at the thought that some of their co-workers might be spending more time making cabinets, and not doing their fair share of the fish-frying responsibilities, that before long there’s endless piles of useless badly cooked fish piling up all over the workshop and it’s all that anyone really does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this is actually a pretty accurate description of the moral dynamics of our own economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I realise any such argument is going to run into immediate objections: “who are you to say what jobs are really ‘necessary’? What’s necessary anyway? You’re an anthropology professor, what’s the ‘need’ for that?” (And indeed a lot of tabloid readers would take the existence of my job as the very definition of wasteful social expenditure.) And on one level, this is obviously true. There can be no objective measure of social value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would not presume to tell someone who is convinced they are making a meaningful contribution to the world that, really, they are not. But what about those people who are themselves convinced their jobs are meaningless? Not long ago I got back in touch with a school friend who I hadn’t seen since I was 12. I was amazed to discover that in the interim, he had become first a poet, then the front man in an indie rock band. I’d heard some of his songs on the radio having no idea the singer was someone I actually knew. He was obviously brilliant, innovative, and his work had unquestionably brightened and improved the lives of people all over the world. Yet, after a couple of unsuccessful albums, he’d lost his contract, and plagued with debts and a newborn daughter, ended up, as he put it, “taking the default choice of so many directionless folk: law school.” Now he’s a corporate lawyer working in a prominent New York firm. He was the first to admit that his job was utterly meaningless, contributed nothing to the world, and, in his own estimation, should not really exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s a lot of questions one could ask here, starting with, what does it say about our society that it seems to generate an extremely limited demand for talented poet-musicians, but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in corporate law? (Answer: if 1% of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call “the market” reflects what they think is useful or important, not anybody else.) But even more, it shows that most people in these jobs are ultimately aware of it. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever met a corporate lawyer who didn’t think their job was bullshit. The same goes for almost all the new industries outlined above. There is a whole class of salaried professionals that, should you meet them at parties and admit that you do something that might be considered interesting (an anthropologist, for example), will want to avoid even discussing their line of work entirely. Give them a few drinks, and they will launch into tirades about how pointless and stupid their job really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a profound psychological violence here. How can one even begin to speak of dignity in labour when one secretly feels one’s job should not exist? How can it not create a sense of deep rage and resentment. Yet it is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way, as in the case of the fish-fryers, to ensure that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work. For instance: in our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one’s work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it.  Again, an objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: what would happen were this entire class of people to simply disappear? Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, it’s obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate and catastrophic. A world without teachers or dock-workers would soon be in trouble, and even one without science fiction writers or ska musicians would clearly be a lesser place. It’s not entirely clear how humanity would suffer were all private equity CEOs, lobbyists, PR researchers, actuaries, telemarketers, bailiffs or legal consultants to similarly vanish. (Many suspect it might markedly improve.) Yet apart from a handful of well-touted exceptions (doctors), the rule holds surprisingly well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even more perverse, there seems to be a broad sense that this is the way things should be. This is one of the secret strengths of right-wing populism. You can see it when tabloids whip up resentment against tube workers for paralysing London during contract disputes: the very fact that tube workers can paralyse London shows that their work is actually necessary, but this seems to be precisely what annoys people. It’s even clearer in the US, where Republicans have had remarkable success mobilizing resentment against school teachers, or auto workers (and not, significantly, against the school administrators or auto industry managers who actually cause the problems) for their supposedly bloated wages and benefits. It’s as if they are being told “but you get to teach children! Or make cars! You get to have real jobs! And on top of that you have the nerve to also expect middle-class pensions and health care?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If someone had designed a work regime perfectly suited to maintaining the power of finance capital, it’s hard to see how they could have done a better job. Real, productive workers are relentlessly squeezed and exploited. The remainder are divided between a terrorised stratum of the, universally reviled, unemployed and a larger stratum who are basically paid to do nothing, in positions designed to make them identify with the perspectives and sensibilities of the ruling class (managers, administrators, etc) – and particularly its financial avatars – but, at the same time, foster a simmering resentment against anyone whose work has clear and undeniable social value. Clearly, the system was never consciously designed. It emerged from almost a century of trial and error. But it is the only explanation for why, despite our technological capacities, we are not all working 3-4 hour days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/davidgraeber&quot;&gt;David Graeber&lt;/a&gt; is a Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics.

Localizada no próprio campus da universidade, a lixeira já ganhou algumas adaptações. Após ser completamente higienizada, a casa de Jeff Wilson ganhou um novo teto, com possibilidade de abertura, uma estação do tempo e um ar condicionado – sobreviver ao verão texano pode ser uma tarefa difícil, segundo ele.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;//www.youtube.com/embed/MKr5Ku79doo&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #303030; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-__p4-JAK_-Q/VCvDesopzsI/AAAAAAAAHG8/z3fhn7UZzCU/s1600/796aeef43-750x459.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-__p4-JAK_-Q/VCvDesopzsI/AAAAAAAAHG8/z3fhn7UZzCU/s1600/796aeef43-750x459.jpg&quot; height=&quot;194&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Dentro da lixeira, há uma cama improvisada, alguns itens de decoração e seu guarda-roupa, que hoje consiste em quatro pares de calças, quatro camisas, três pares de sapatos, três chapéus e algumas gravatas-borboleta.
