Un Juego peligroso / A Dangerus Game
"Afirmar cosas sin pruebas, aunque puede ser entretenido y darnos una falsa sensación de propósito, realmente nos acerca a la estupidez, el dogmatismo y la ignorancia."
"Asserting things without evidence, while it may be entertaining and give us a false sense of purpose, actually brings us closer to stupidity, dogmatism and ignorance."
One of today's great thinkers, Deepak Chopra, tells us that humans respond to external stimuli at various levels of consciousness. The most basic, like Neanderthal man, is on the “attack and flight” level. Labeling others to see if they belong to our tribe or a different one is one of the most primitive acts we do. However, as we look around us, we see that this is what we do on a daily basis.
La polarización que vivimos hoy es una manifestación moderna de esa respuesta tribal, y parece que para ser aceptados en el mundo actual, debemos "tomar bandos" y etiquetar superficialmente a los demás como amigos o enemigos, tal como lo hacían nuestros antepasados. Suponemos cosas sin evidencia y creamos teorías de conspiración que sostenemos con rumores y chismes para validar nuestras etiquetas.
The polarization we experience today is a modern manifestation of that tribal response, and it seems that in order to be accepted in today's world, we must “take sides” and superficially label others as friend or foe, just as our ancestors did. We assume things without evidence and create conspiracy theories that we sustain with hearsay and gossip to validate our labels.
Sin embargo, afirmar cosas sin pruebas, aunque puede ser entretenido y darnos una falsa sensación de propósito, realmente nos acerca a la estupidez, el dogmatismo y la ignorancia.
However, asserting things without evidence, while it may be entertaining and give us a false sense of purpose, actually brings us closer to stupidity, dogmatism and ignorance.
Además, es esencial recordar que esta necesidad de etiquetar y clasificar a los demás también nos aleja de la verdadera conexión humana. Al tomar bandos y mantenernos en nuestras zonas de confort, evitamos la oportunidad de entender y apreciar la diversidad de pensamientos y experiencias que existen a nuestro alrededor. Este enfoque limitado nos impide crecer y aprender de aquellos que tienen perspectivas diferentes a las nuestras.
In addition, it is essential to remember that this need to label and categorize others also takes us away from true human connection. By taking sides and staying in our comfort zones, we avoid the opportunity to understand and appreciate the diversity of thoughts and experiences that exist around us. This narrow focus prevents us from growing and learning from those who have different perspectives than our own.
Al elegir salir de esta mentalidad tribal, empezamos a ver a las personas como individuos complejos, y no solo como miembros de un grupo o categoría. Nos abrimos a la posibilidad de empatizar y encontrar puntos en común, lo que contribuye a una sociedad más inclusiva y comprensiva. Solo entonces podremos realizar nuestro verdadero potencial como seres humanos, dejando de lado los prejuicios y trabajando juntos hacia un futuro más armonioso.
By choosing to break out of this tribal mentality, we begin to see people as complex individuals, not just as members of a group or category. We open ourselves to the possibility of empathizing and finding common ground, which contributes to a more inclusive and understanding society. Only then can we realize our true potential as human beings, setting aside prejudices and working together toward a more harmonious future.
Hi sir!
After a long time, I saw your post. Because I was absent for two years after the marriage. Hope the journey has restarted here again.
Hi Mr. Nazir. I hope and pray that you are well. Especially that you are having quality time with your family.
Yeah, I have a cute daughter now and I love to spend some times with her.
