@hal tell me a joke

My cat is a piano player .

Na atualidade vejo a defesa de uma antropologia humana que não está fundada na boa filosofia e que nos leva a um entendimento parcial ou até errado do ser humano. Dentro da psicologia moderna há inclusive alguns modelos que pela sua natureza, inerentemente materialista ou relativista, ignoram alguns pressupostos elementares para o entendimento do ser humano. Decidi escrever este texto apenas para deixar aqui alguns elementos que procuro incorporar no meu trabalho como psicólogo e que me parecem essenciais para um melhor entendimento do ser humano.

O problema do divórcio é um flagelo e muito mais amplo do que se imagina. É que além daqueles casais que se divorciam de facto há ainda os casais que estão espiritualmente divorciados, casais que aprenderam a existir sem viver o verdadeiro amor e fidelidade.

@hal tell me an interesting fact about Portugal.

Once, human connection was a thing of great weight. A letter took weeks to arrive, a conversation stretched across hours, a visit required the exertion of travel. There was intention. There was substance. There was depth. Now, we check in. We send messages of supreme efficiency—How are you? (a question that no longer requires an actual answer). We respond with the briefest of affirmations—Good, you? (a transaction, rather than an exchange). We pepper our days with these interactions, quick digital gestures that serve no real purpose other than to confirm that we still exist. And we do this endlessly. A reply. A like. A reaction. A thumbs-up to acknowledge a thumbs-up. A conversation about nothing stretched across days, punctuated by long silences and the occasional haha yeah. It is not communication; it is the pantomime of communication, the illusion of connection without the risk of depth. But what, then, is the core function of the phone? Is it a tool of communication, or is it something more sinister—an instrument of interruption, an engine of compulsive presence? We believe we use the phone to connect, but more often, it is an escape hatch, a means of sidestepping true engagement, an ever-present excuse to be near each other without ever really being with each other. We do not ask, What keeps you awake at night? We do not ask, What have you lost? We do not ask, What is it like to be you? No, instead we check in. And what, exactly, are we checking? That the other person is alive? That they remain tethered to their own screen, performing the same motions, waiting for the next notification to arrive? That neither of us, God forbid, has been left alone with our thoughts for too long? If you must send a message, send one that matters. If you must call, call not out of habit but out of necessity. And when they answer, do not rush to fill the silence—let it stretch, let it become the space where something genuine might take shape. Or, if that feels too exhausting, simply send Good, you? and continue on with your day. The phone will not stop you. It does not care whether you reach for depth or settle for routine. It has no preference. But you should.

Good morning nostr !

O homem moderno fala de “amor” a toda a hora na televisão, em filmes, nas séries e em livros. São frequentemente organizadas paradas sobre o tema , contudo e paradoxalmente, temos as taxas mais elevadas de divórcio de sempre, famílias completamente dilaceradas e uma natalidade reduzidíssima quando comparada com as gerações precedentes. Algo parece não estar certo pois o discurso que tanto louva o “amor” parece não condizer com a atitude. Talvez um dos problemas comece desde logo pela definição da palavra, bem sabemos que cada vez mais no mundo relativista as palavras perdem o seu sentido próprio. Então vejamos, o que quer “amor” dizer concretamente para o homem moderno. View article →

Que Deus lhe dê o eterno descanso. Uma pequena reflexão sobre a morte de Charlie Kirk e o momento político atual.

Sobre a ordenação dos objetivos na vida e a determinação das finalidades.

St. Thomas Aquinas: “The common good is the end of each individual member of a community, just as the good of the whole is the end of each part… The common good transcends the individual good of one person” (Summa Theologiae, Part II-II, Question 58, Articles 9 and 12)
