Where are we going?
In 2018, the North Pole has not recorded any fusion records and Trump will have the excuse to go ahead with coal-burning power plants or vehicles operating on the basis of fossil fuels; or Bolsonaro buy land for intensive agriculture in the Amazon; or Macron to delay as far as possible the closure of nuclear power plants and produce and consume as much as possible.
In 2017 we were told that the problem of the ozone layer had been solved, but last year’s has been one of the most serious of the decade we are in. However, this problem occurs at the South Pole in a small interval of time, making it less painful. Since the mouths installed in Chernobyl and Fukushima prevent the spread of radiation, we have had no news of them and have almost forgotten them in our collective memory.
Although the crisis we have experienced over the past ten years has impoverished most of us, a few are richer, both people and states, but despite everything, we cannot deny that technology has advanced and also.
From the scientific point of view, we
are increasingly being shown that our world has increasingly serious diseases, but in addition to taking few corrective measures in real life, I think there is a growing belief that catastrophies have
always existed among us.
From the point of view of science, it is increasingly clear to us that our world is suffering from increasingly serious diseases, but apart from taking few corrective measures in real life, I believe that the belief that catastrophies have always existed among us is spreading. That in the year 2000 the world would end, that the sea level will devour our our beaches, that in a few years' time there will be no ice in the Arctic Ocean, that oil is about to end and a long branch that we will not see materialised has generated some mistrust in society. In fact, along with the statements we have mentioned, we know that behind scientific research are the interests of big business.
However, scientists have left a mark on our social activity in recent years; we have internalised a more responsible collection of waste, a more appropriate use of energy and water, an improvement in public transport, the expansion of green areas, town planning and other concepts. But we must continue to produce and consume and the gross domestic product of our peoples must continue to grow in order to maintain and improve our standard of living.
In the time of Obama and Merkel, the intention of science, at least in part, was to care for the world, but in these times when Trump, Bolsonaro and the long list of acholites dominate, I think science will continue at a fast pace, but changing course. I mean, the other way around.

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]
I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
Novelty is usually one of the most heard words associated with the Durango Fair. The novelty is there, and here's the novelty. However, in some cases it is sufficient to give a different aspect to the previous one to paste that label. The CDs and remastered reeditions with... [+]
The Basque country has a very large water flow in the shortage. Every local drop curls and revives our culture. Offer a sea of water to that thirst. Although the Basque Country has come from a deep and dark well, we have all drawn our sample of salt water and turned it into a... [+]
Young people start consuming pornography before, as porn is their only sex education. How on earth have we come here?
Today, it has to be acknowledged that thanks to the Internet it is much easier to see pornography. Unfortunately, through a click, the 7-9 year-old boy comes to... [+]
