«Las personas ponen todo su esmero en atarse de forma que un solo hombre o, en su defecto, unos cuantos puedan moverlos a todos juntos; después, le dan el hilo que mantiene atada a la multitud al primero que pasa, y se asombran de lo mal que viven» - Tolstói
Keeanu Reeves
He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident.
His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $ 20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account;
He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $ 50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: Be a good person.
1960, Orson Welles explained how he wrangled complete creative control for his first film, Citizen Kane, as well as the value of “ignorance” to break through old ideas.
ChatGPT is everywhere and everyone is using it.
But most academics don't know how to use it *smartly.*
Here's how to use ChatGPT intelligently (and ethically) for academic purposes:
¿Punto de inflexión en YouTube? La CEO de YouTube, Susan Wojcicki se acaba de retirar... y, creedme, era difícil haberlo hecho mejor. Muchos YouTubers la han criticado injustamente. No se dan cuenta de que, sin ella, ninguno de nosotros estaría donde está ¿Por qué? Dentro hilo.
"Conócete a ti mismo" se suele interpretar como una invitación a la autorreflexión. Pero los griegos lo último que hacían era "rayarse" sobre sus propios pensamientos. Lo que significaba para un griego era ser conscientes de los propios límites, particularmente el de ser mortal.

Lo que Musk propone (si le sale bien y deja de hacer el chorra con sus tweets megalomaníacos) es MUY buena idea. Es romper el oligopolio de los gigantes de la prensa, y permitir una información basada en especialistas, en Twitter, consumida directamente.
1. A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users.
“Sorprende la cantidad de gente que opina que los padres no están capacitados para escoger la educación de sus hijos, pero sí para escoger (votando) a los políticos que escogerán la educación de sus hijos y de los hijos de los demás”.

¿Recordáis cuando se nos decía que la pandemia había demostrado la capacidad del Estado para intervenir en la economía sin que se rompiera nada?
Pues ahora estamos empezando a ver los rotos que se acumularon entonces: inflación, subida de tipos y ralentización económica.
