I've always had difficulty with Manichean and binarist people, or political binaries, for them if you talk about social justice inequalities you are automatically socialist, but if you talk about property, Ferraris, Mercedes Benz, Gucci you are a capitalist dream eater.

I'm not one of those people, I'm too sophisticated for these sick minds and paralyzed by backward ideologies.

Being a communist is an ideology, being a vegan is an ideology, being an ecologist is a religion. I don't have preferences for structures of ideologies and I mix religions and ideologies, as well as the Science of Physics that manages to live with four theories to explain light, from electromagnetic waves, to particle beam, to photons and wave-particle duality , this set of uncertainties is my greatest fascination in physics.

Heisenberg and the uncertainty principle, Schroedinger and the inexistence of previous reality and the interaction of facts with the observer or with participatory observation leaves us in doubt if time exists and if reality is nothing more than a sensory mental simulation.

I hate people full of certainties, the universe we see is totally in the past, it's impossible to look at a star because the image of the star was there at least eight and a half minutes in the past like our sun, or four years late like the next star centaur , Andromeda may not even exist anymore because what we see in the sky is 200,000 years behind.

It's too sure in the minds of the religious, the communists, the socialists, the ecologists, the vegans, faith and feeling are the greatest human weaknesses.

Dumb, irritating, stupid, unnecessary, inconvenient certainty, too dangerous for human civilization.
