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.

Just as we experienced the flourishing of the Basque Country with the help of the artists, so that this time, taking advantage of their impulses, we continue to make our way together giving the necessary support to the Basque political prisoners, exiles and deportees

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]
Azken egunak garrantzi handikoak izan dira Bartzelonan, etxebizitzaren aldeko mugimenduarentzat eta espekulatzaileen aurkako borrokarentzat. Urtarrilaren 28an, polizia-armada batek Raval auzoko Massana Zaharrari [zentro sozial okupatua] eraso egin zion goizaldean, aurrez abisatu... [+]
Zer jakin behar dut? Norekin erlazionatu behar dut? Non bizi behar dut? Ardura horiekin gabiltza gizakiok gure gizarteen baitan bizitza on baten ideia bizitzeko bidean. Ondo erantzuten ez badakigu, bazterretan geratuko garen beldurrez.
Joan den astean, kanpoan geratzearen... [+]
I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
