Un poema que trata de «Encontrar el punto medio entre los muros donde no hacernos daño. Donde solo darnos cuenta de hasta dónde llega el beso antes de que llegue la rabia»

It’s actually because you literally can’t “just do things” anymore because there are endless bureaucrats, wokescolds, etc. in the way, so people end up latching on to knowledge. Same reason people do architecture in Minecraft rather than real life.
There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online.
He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history.
He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing.
His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living.
He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action.
He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation.
Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not.
Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation.
He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk.
He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation.
The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable.
Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom.
But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back.
Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.
On June 21, the summer solstice will deliver the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Yet, contrary to what many people expect, this date will not feature the year’s earliest sunrise or latest sunset.
This surprising astronomical quirk stems from Earth’s 23.5-degree axial tilt combined with its slightly elliptical orbit around the Sun. These factors cause the Sun’s apparent path to drift slightly out of alignment with our standardized 24-hour clock time. As a result, across much of the United States, the earliest sunrise actually occurs several days before the solstice, while the latest sunset often happens days, or even weeks, after it.
Daylight Saving Time further accentuates this effect by shifting an extra hour of daylight into the evening, pushing sunsets past 9 p.m. in many northern cities.
While June 21 still marks the maximum total daylight hours, the offset between solar events and clock time serves as a beautiful annual reminder of our planet’s intricate cosmic dance. Our clocks are a convenient human invention, but they remain only an approximation of the universe’s more complex rhythms.
