Beyond reproach
- Our morality, justice, etc., are based on free choice. Man is free to choose good or evil, and therefore punishment for those who do evil. Isn't that normal?

“That we have total freedom to choose what we want: this idea is not right and has generated a lot of suffering. (…) Our sexual orientation is not chosen, but is programmed from the uterus. (…) Pederastia is also programmed at an early stage of brain development” (480. 71 and sec. ).
Knowing that biological, genetic, neurological factors influence human behavior, childhood education and experience, the socio-economic environment... I am much more interested in “understanding” the motives that the passionate condemnation, for example: Why do some men feel the sexual attraction to children, and why do some more and others more easily control this trend? Why are men stronger than women, to the point of killing their children out of hatred for their mother? Etc. To answer these questions “because they are very evil and malignant” I am not satisfied, I want to know why we are “evil and evil”. But when our emotions, interests or prejudices are at stake, it is not acceptable to start questioning: that is to launder crime or crime, weakness and complicity, an offense for the victims.
Until recently, we haven't known anything about how our brain works. Now neuroscience is making big discoveries about human behavior.
“Prisons are full of people with psychiatric or neurological diseases” (228. 71 and sec. ). “Our genetic heritage can greatly influence our aggressive and criminal behavior,” and when it comes to adolescents, the neurologist says: “These criminals have often been found to have psychiatric problems; in the case of boys in prison, the proportion reaches up to 90%” (224). 71 and sec. ).
Until recently, we haven't known anything about how our brain works. Now neuroscience is making big discoveries about human behavior, discoveries that are facing great challenges for our teaching system, for morals, for the legal and criminal system.
I recommend you read the book of the Dutch neurologist Dick Swaab: We are our brain (Nous sommes notre beau). It has sparked great discussions, but I believe that anyone who disagrees should not respond from religion, morality, philosophy or ideology, but from their field of research. And seeing more and more scientists in the same line -- interesting among us, Gurutz Linazasoro -- we shouldn't start a sterile fight against those discoveries, as so many times in history. They can give us important keys to building healthier heads and a healthier society!

There are those who, being a brilliant brain, with definitions of "little detail," are experts in transforming and transforming the same thing, in other words. It was yours and it has been a project in eternum that has been repeated for decades. This was one of the main reasons to... [+]
On 26 December, during an air strike, the Israeli Army killed five Palestinian journalists trying to reach the city. They killed 130 Palestinian journalists. This news has reminded me of a couple of things, the first, the persecution of true journalists in any part of the world,... [+]
In recent months I have had to work in a number of institutes and, at some point, I have had to talk to the students about the possibilities offered by the labour market. The typology of the students is varied and in the same city varies a lot from one neighborhood to another,... [+]
The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.
Insensitive to the work of the photographer, you, slowly and... [+]
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... [+]

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... [+]
