The region of Merida (Mexico) has been the object of this year of great controversy for the placement on a beach of a sculpture in tribute to the Greek god Poseidon. Merida is located on the Yukatan peninsula, where the people of Maia try to preserve their culture, within the predatory and speculative transformations driven by mass tourism around the world. The truth is that the people of Maia have a mythological god linked to water and the sea: Chaac. I have nothing against Poseidon, but I understand Maien’s outrage, because the imaginary that has nothing to do with them has been put into his public money and into his public space, without paying any attention to the pioneering culture. This happens when the leaders and public employees of the people have no relationship with local culture and imagery, in a village still of classism. Instead of empowering indigenous nature, they push it back into the corners.

If we go to the private sphere, the same thing can happen, but the impact doesn't have to be significant. Perhaps a childish Maya on the Internet, through the manga comics of libraries... He has known Japanese culture and has become passionate about the Japanese imaginary, another practice yoga and his dream is to travel to India to improve meditation... Private experiences can influence local culture, but the pace of impact will be slower if it influences. It is up to local authorities to explain well to the new generations the value of local culture for a good local life. If things are done right, the transformations of local culture will have a good life for its inhabitants in the middle.

Education can be given anywhere at any time, children have their own awareness and seduction capacity. In the digital realm, there's a lot of possibilities for fascination, there's a lot of Poseidon. Perhaps, as parents, not closing the reality of the world, but thanks to the work of free software and open knowledge communities, we can create for them and them, with the available resources, small paths to understand the local world.
