Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
I don't think I've ever waited for an encyclical with as much anticipation as this one. It seems incredibly urgent - and it feels like Leo XIV is the man of the moment to call out this attack on human dignity, just as John Paul II was the man of the moment to confront Communism.
Academic Twitter is having a meltdown because some people have just learned that you should actually read the sources you cite. This really shouldn't be as controversial as it appears to be.
I heard an interview today about AI in creative spaces and the man being interviewed said “AI is data, and Data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I need to sit with that in the best possible way.
Juzgar con perspectiva de género no significa darle la razón a una mujer por ser mujer. Significa que el juez deje de leer el expediente como si la vida fuera neutral. La @SCJN lo dijo en en jurisprudencia: hay que revisar si existe violencia, desigualdad, estereotipos o una relación de poder que impida decidir con verdadera justicia.
Un caso lo explica mejor que mil discursos: una mujer perdió la patria potestad de sus hijos porque “abandonó” el hogar. Pero cuando el asunto llegó a la Corte, apareció lo que el tribunal no quiso mirar: ella decía haber salido de una dinámica de violencia familiar. La pregunta ya no era sólo “¿se fue?”, sino “¿por qué se fue, de qué estaba huyendo y cómo afectó eso la valoración de las pruebas?”.
Otro caso es brutal: a una mujer de 67 años le negaron pensión compensatoria porque tenía jubilación. La Corte corrigió el absurdo: durante años trabajó fuera de casa y además sostuvo el hogar, cuidó, limpió, crió, acompañó. Eso no era “su deber natural”; era doble jornada. La perspectiva de género sirve justo para eso: para que el Derecho vea lo que durante décadas llamó amor, costumbre o sacrificio, pero que en realidad también fue trabajo, desigualdad y vida entregada.

Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Mother’s day
The ground beneath Mexico City is slowly sinking, and now, the NISAR satellite can track it from space.
New data shows parts of the city (in blue) that sank more than half an inch (more than 2 cm) per month from Oct. 2025 to Jan. 2026.
No pretendo exagerar pero el arte va a salvar tu vida. la música, la pintura, la cerámica, la escritura, el tallado, el tejido… el acto de CREAR te va a salvar.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
