In 1983, a BBC interviewer asked Richard Feynman why two magnets push each other apart — and he refused to answer it.
What he did instead is the best seven minutes on thinking ever filmed.
Bookmark & watch today, no matter what.
King Louis XVI’s own cousin, the Duke of Orleans, actively financed the French Revolution, joined the National Assembly, changed his name from Louis Philippe to “Philippe Égalité”, and ultimately voted to execute his own flesh and blood.
Nine months later, he too was guillotined by a revolution he had done more to support than perhaps any other man in France.
This post is about the Democrats who are now complaining about the DSA.
El 3/8/1492 partió del puerto de Palos Cristóbal Colón para realizar la gesta+importante de la hª.Envidiado,admirado y vilipendiado fue el personaje+determinante desde Jesucristo.Cometió errores debido a su mente medieval pero nunca se debe juzgar el pasado con los ojos actuales
@JORGEMEJIAR Ademas no hay que olvidar las reformas al SRI y el hacerles pagar impuestos a los banqueros y comerciantes (por eso le botaron)
A ratos creo que cometimos un grave error de botar al Loco, si se hubiera dolarizado de acuerdo a lo que decía Carvlaho nos hubiera ido mejor antes
«Fui un hombre de izquierda, pero la realidad me convenció de otra cosa. Me niego a que me rotulen como de derecha. Soy un liberal, no de partido sino de pensamiento. Creo en la libertad política y económica; en la libertad del individuo».
— Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza
Con esta convicción vivió y escribió Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza (1932–2026), periodista, escritor y una de las voces más influyentes del pensamiento liberal en Iberoamérica.
Su legado trasciende sus libros y artículos: permanece en la defensa de la libertad, el pensamiento crítico y el valor de las ideas frente a los dogmas. En Caminos de la Libertad lamentamos profundamente su partida y honramos la huella que deja en quienes creen en una sociedad más libre.
Descanse en paz.
@camehd@tejada_diego@visionariasec El feriado bancario fue una movida ANTI-Jamil de la banca guayaquileña por quererles sanear las cuentas. Sin ir muy lejos había las imágenes de LFC y Nebot sacando el letrero de la calle Quito en una manifestación. Y el éxodo empezó varios años antes, para el 99 ya era tarde.

The Interrogation
The Gulag Archipelago
Volume 1, Part 1, Chapter 3
“If the intellectuals in the plays of Chekhov who spent all their time guessing what would happen in twenty, thirty, or forty years had been told that in forty years interrogation by torture would be practiced in Russia; that prisoners would have their skulls squeezed within iron rings; that a human being would be lowered into an acid bath; that they would be trussed up naked to be bitten by ants and bedbugs; that a ramrod heated over a primus stove would be thrust up their anal canal (the “secret brand”); that a man’s genitals would be slowly crushed beneath the toe of a jackboot; and that, in the luckiest possible circumstances, prisoners would be tortured by being kept from sleeping for a week, by thirst, and by being beaten to a bloody pulp, not one of Chekhov’s plays would have gotten to its end because all the heroes would have gone off to insane asylums.
Yes, not only Chekhov’s heroes, but what normal Russian at the beginning of the century, including any member of the Russian Social Democratic Workers’ Party, could have believed, would have tolerated, such a slander against the bright future? What had been acceptable under Tsar Aleksei Mikhailovich in the seventeenth century, what had already been regarded as barbarism under Peter the Great, what might have been used against ten or twenty people in all during the time of Biron in the mid-eighteenth century, what had already become totally impossible under Catherine the Great, was all being practiced during the flowering of the glorious twentieth century—in a society based on socialist principles, and at a time when airplanes were flying and the radio and talking films had already appeared—not by one scoundrel alone in one secret place only, but by tens of thousands of specially trained human beasts standing over millions of defenseless victims.”
Osea que mamarracho mayor de Quito, aparte de que las bicicletas son una total estafa para Quito. Antes de salir del puesto deja amarrando el negocio por 4 años y que el próximo pague. #GDORC5
