En el ave Barcelona-Madrid, en el tramo Zaragoza-Madrid, a 160 Km/h. Quizás habría que tomar en cuenta los conocimientos de los y las maquinistas siempre. No solo cuando el desastre ya pasó. Hoy viajo (relativamente ) tranquilo porque confío en los saberes de quien trabaja.

Another paper treating the US as “society” Nice theory in PNAS on interaction → polarization, but the empirical grounding is deeply US-centric. I’d bet that replicating it with CEO Catalunya data would tell a very different story. Anyone up for trying? www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Las centrales nucleares son como la derecha gobernado: las primeras en desconectarse, las últimas en volver. No ayudan nada en la recuperación y además producen escorias tóxicas.

Honestly, we’ve had enough of political scientists dismissing structural polarization as a valid measure of polarization. Theoretical foundations? Solid. Empirical evidence? Abundant. Time to stop gatekeeping and protecting your little academic turf. Enough is enough.

Question for the statistical physicists in the room: What is the difference between thermodynamic temperature and temperature in statistical mechanics? And what aspect of the material world ensures they are the same?

Estamos en la paradoja de siempre: la única manera de aspirar a implementar politicas socialdemócratas es defender políticas revolucionarias. Salvando al capitalismo de sigo mismo una vez más, si nos sale bien.
