(Kutxa) "dumb" is not television.
It's data from a year ago. In the Spanish State, the average consumption of television per inhabitant stands at just over 4 hours a day, a consumption that has increased significantly with the crisis. Smart strategy to get out of unemployment fast!
If there are good television programmes, both on local and external channels, and I will not deny that I can perform positive functions (for example, learning languages or other subjects, etc.). ). But it is clear that on the market it also offers a lot of money. In general, we should be aware of the functioning of current TV and its influence on us, to know how to digest what we consume.
The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has a little interesting book: Sur la télévision, suivi de L’emprise du journalisme (Sobre la televisión, castellano). It talks about invisible censorship, vanity, the influence it has on the written press, the urgency it imposes and fast thinking, the dictatorship of audience indexes, etc.
If reading does not make you feel the desire to be careful with television, I will tell you that it is for men, or for women that you want to have a large family with men, another firm reason. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health (Europe Press 05-02-2013), those who spend many hours on television have 44% less sperm than those who exercise for 15 hours a week. The reason is not exactly known, but among the hypotheses is increased scrotal temperature or increased stress due to sedentary life. So, if you have professionals as translators and you also see a lot of TV, a lot of risk. I myself, I can't avoid the first one and I see very few TVs just in case, and no, the truth is that caring for the quality of the human seed is one of my priorities.
Above the jokes, we should seriously reflect on our absurd behavior that allows a savage invasion of TV: going to any bar with friends and, above your conversation and forcibly stealing the gaze of some, you will almost always have a television (and if the bar is long, two); going out of three or four restaurants because it was essential to watch TV on the menu; at least twice having to gather TV in a living room and visit. How have we become so stupid?

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
