Where is the news???

Conservative politics (the conservation of oil, car, …, industries) is the very opposite of environmental conservation.

There is a difference of information and knowledge. For example, morse code is great to transmit information but it is useless to transmitir knowledge. It is great for quick news but terrible for philosophy.

While screens (especially interactive screens) are better for entertainment. Even lectures made for screens tend to use entertainment language to adequate the content with the media (to make it less boring for the screen, because screens create expectations for constant movements and changes of frames).

The Internet is perfect for information and it is full of information, and it has information pollution, and is a problem for “relevant information” and knowledge. But using the Internet to read a book or to watch a academic lecture (without distractions), the Internet can be good for knowledge. The problem, as mentioned before, is that screens are always a media that fits better for distractions (entertainment), and so quick information, and less fit for knowledge.

Information is just data that we can consume instantly while knowledge is obtained with time, it requires a kind of stillness that books offer, so we can better digest the content, the long informations that are focus to a common subject, with out distractions.

That said, books are still the best media for knowledge. The Internet is the best media for quick information, factual news, entertainment and datas.

I’m seriously losing all hope for a future where my grandkids are safe. Or my kids.

…or myself.

It is what people say about Germany but my teacher says that she didn’t have an id card for 10 years and only got one because of tour to a place organised by her university required to show id card to be put in their touring list. As far as her experience goes, no authority ever put her in trouble for not carrying an ID.

The same way that the police never put me in trouble for mu id card not having my address.

About not talking to the police, it is actually a right you have in Germany despite popular gossip saying otherwise.

The problem of not talking to the police is that the police can create reasons to put you in troubles for not doing so, as the police have the privilege of authority, power and legal/public trust.

But when questioned by the police, if it is worth, you have the right to have e lawer to answer it for you or to guide you on your answer according to laws.
