Do I know you?
The other day, they asked me if I knew myself and I didn't know how to answer. It's curious that you know someone, or that you know someone to consider you know them. I also don't know how much data I need, what criteria we need to follow to say we know each other.
Social networks and the digital mode paradigm necessarily require a new understanding of the concepts. Reconceptualization of relationships, of knowledge... Meeting someone now or ten years ago is not the same thing. I understand it differently, so I didn't know how to respond. Actually, officially, I don't know him. They have never presented us, and according to the understanding we have had so far, at least we have to cross a couple of words to consider ourselves as we know each other (at least). Or officially present a mediator and give two kisses (at least). Until recently (perhaps until the pandemic) it looked like this. So no. We don't know each other.
"These virtual relationships have informed me more about your day to day than what I know about others I always knew about in my environment, in my village."
We don't know each other, but I know that last weekend you came out in the Old Town. I know you always drink beer and smoke Marlboro. I know you like Belako, Rotten XII, Ana, Joancho Marques, Nirvana and Ruper. I know that on weekends you go to the mountain and run to stay healthy. I know that two months ago he went to the hairdresser and once again he did what he always did. I know you're off at noon. I know which political party you vote for and I know what your opinion on vaccines is. I know you use your parents' car. I know what you're learning and what you're working on. I know who you are from your crew. I know you wore white stockings yesterday and I know what the last book you've read. If it's not knowing someone's day-to-day thinking and situation, I don't know what it is. Although we've never been in front of each other, these virtual relationships have informed me more about your day to day than I know about others that I always knew around me, in my village.
I could not answer, but if I were asked again, I would dare to say “half-hearted”. Yes, I only know what you want to know expressly: your best version, your lights, your talents. That, beyond the surface, virtual relationships do not lead us to deny the reverse of our best plastic version. In the event of a refusal, it cannot be known. Without knowing it, you cannot accept it, you cannot work, you cannot clear the shadows.

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... [+]
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... [+]
