My rather evil friend usually says that if there is ever full normalization of the Basque Country that we so often ask for, the first consequence will be the disappearance of Bertsolaris. But he doesn't dare to say in public, because he doesn't like to break the laws of political equity. For my part, I will not deny the importance of the contribution of Bertsolarism in the process of transforming the vehicular language anywhere. It would also be useless: Oteiza, the great erdaldun, contributed a centenary ambia to Basque unification. And reaffirm our best known scientists. What can we, ordinary mortals, say against? Because, in reality, is there a good bertsolari that, for ten seconds, and in all depth, will not yield to ten or eight? Gutenberg's contraption is just a heavy lump. It's overrated. Its world-wide reputation is hardly understood for centuries.
I also laughed with the Andalusian and the Txirrita wall, and with the exits of Lazkao Txiki. And hearing the “Dead Woman’s Dress” or the “Crying in the Eye” of Crying Xalbador. In the case of the latter, there was not always any doubt as to whether the butt emerged on the chair and on the blank sheet.
But let's acknowledge that the relationships between skin language and Gutenberg's artifact have always been quite problematic.
Artificial intelligence ChatGPT has produced a poem about the sun. Bertsolaris and writers will soon be left
Chance has wanted and the next few centuries will be able to confirm that the day Lujanbio set his breath – “the hopelessness of winning the language to dance” – Cano, from the subchampionship, published a book of soneses – “with the lack of calm until the words are stitched”. Although, knowing Cano's love for literary games and paradoxes, it is something that can be questioned by chance.
But technology has also aged Gutenberg's contraption, and time has blurred the brilliance of a debate that has never been given, but could be given, what is more, written or verbal?
Among other feats, artificial intelligence ChatGPT, which does not require boin accounts in time, has produced a poem about the sun. Bertsolaris and writers will soon be left.
I recall that Italo Calvino, at a conference in 1967 (published in Spanish under the title Cybernetics and ghosts), recognized the day when a machine produced all the culture. No matter – I was going to say, more or less – there will always be a human conscience that judges its quality… As long as this is not the case, we will not walk so badly.

With the words of poet Vicent Andrés Estellés, I am one among so many cases, and not an isolated, rare or extraordinary case. Unfortunately, no. Among so many, one. In particular, according to the Council of Europe, and among other major institutions such as Save The Children,... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]

We have been hearing the views of Iñigo Errejón on the accusations of male violence in all media and social media for a few weeks. In addition, many controversies are emerging: how we should denounce women, how our sexual relations should be, recognition, silences of those who... [+]
There are those who say that elections serve only to give legal status to political decisions. And there are not very many who think that way. Okay, but with that, a lot of things are said, among other things, that real power, power, is out of that game.
But, in my view,... [+]
A father from Bilbao has asked me about the secondary education protocol being developed at the AMPA around mobiles.
As I read on the website of the Basque Government, in January 2024 there was talk in schools about the regulation of mobiles, that there will be no prohibition... [+]
Sometimes you make a blessing, and say where you had to say it, for sure, and when you're done, you want to cry loudly. When everything was over, with the affection of the luggage, he gave you a long hug as if he were holding you.

Five decades later, we seem to be leaving behind the Washington Consensus. The climate crisis and, above all, the rise of China have reinvented the interest in leadership and the active participation that the country should have in the economy. The former austerity managers,... [+]
Following the complaint against Iñigo Errejón for machista violence, it seems that some have realised that in parties, unions and leftist institutions, women are not free to receive violence from affiliated men. In addition, it has become clear that in these situations some... [+]
