Even if we don't share them, our feelings come out sooner or later (which our body language, tone of voice, etc).
We are always trying to feel less vulnerable.

The Copernican Revolution #3
Aristotle wanted to explain the universe philosophically and Ptolomy explains the universe in a more mathematical kind of way.
This is interesting because one thinks that they more or less thought of the universe the same way, but their interests were different.
Aristotle thought that there weren't any vacuums on Earth or the universe. The proof of this is that he said that matter and space are inseparable , that there couldn't not be any matter without space. If there in no matter, there isn't anything with which we cant define space.

Don Quijote
Capitulo 42 segunda parte.
Me parece ilógico que Don Quijote quiere que Sancho sea mejor con las personas y las trate mejor (en la parte de sabiduría), cuando Don Quijote mismo no trata muy bien a las personas y siempre las para lastimando.
Yo solo creo que Don Quijote solo es un loco, que no sabe nada y siempre causa desastres con los demás y a los lugares que va. Me parece tonto y me cuesta tomarlo enserio.
En el consejo dos, Don Quijote dice que no debe aparentar quien no es. Pero entonces contradicción a lo que el mismo dice, ya que Don Quijote dice que es un caballero cuando no lo es.
Estos consejos van en contra de lo que Don Quijote dice y no es constante.

Gödel, Escher, Bach #12
What Hofstader does in this chapter:
1. a system that can self-reference.
2. cantors diagonal: all of the capacity to self-reference is in a single string.
TNT: a system that is not based on numbers, that way we are not biased by numbers.

Meta-Dialogue: apr 18
At the MPC:
we have been more organized
our relationships with each other have improved
we have applied past experiences
we have been more present in nature:
we listen to the birds more often
we observe more
People cant do things for us. But they cant support us and help us (like in the waterfall in the Zapote). We didn't give up and we supported each other.
We use knowledge to improve in things. Everything applies in our daily life.
Tacit knowledge is brought up by experiences and it is mostly and attitude.
We have to search for solutions and answers, but also for questions.
It is also about moving forward, after making mistakes.
Something else that influences a lot is that we have to try to expose ourselves to new things and different situations, in which we can learn.
Approximations:
We are trying to make an approximation to the ideal MPC.
As Heinz said, there will always be a margin or error. In physics, in life, at the MPC, in math; everything is going to be an approximation.
How can we ever get to know ourselves?
It is impossible because we would need to pop-out.
We depend on other people who knows us in order to get to know ourselves. Sometimes we have assumption about ourselves, about how we are and how we act. and we need to be proprioceptive about this and keep in mind that other people are outside our system and will probably notice a lot of thing about us that we haven't noticed. But we should always keep in mind that we will never truly get to know ourselves.
In the MPC we have already started to imitate each other and to share many things, because of all of the time that we have spent together. This is why we should always try to be our best and help the rest to be their best because at the end we are imitating each other, and it is better to imitate the good.

Meno #3
It is okay to bot know something and it will make us greater men if we search for answers and try to look for what we don't know. We need to believe we can learn new things, instead of just staying with our doubts and and not looking for answers and thinking that it is impossible to know.
The greater good of questioning.
The truth is not out our reach (or at least an approximation of the truth)
Can you teach virtue? No
Can you learn virtue? Yes

Meta-Dialogue: apr 17
In Crito, Plato says that one can betray your own values if it is for the common good of the law. And if it you live in a city, you have to follow that city's laws.
Something like this happened in the movie Agora, when they destroy the library, also when Orestes doesn't betray his values and then he does. Also with Hypatia's dad, when he declares that they can fight the other religion.
You never know who is going to have the real truth. Like in the movie, one didnt know if the Jews, Christians or Greeks were right. This relates to what Armando says about approximations and that nothing can really be proved. The same thing can be seen in The Fire in the Equations. Which is the real theory that originated the word? The Big bang? the universe just was? God?
Is there a way to prove all of this?
We would need a leap of faith.
We can never really prove anything to be certain in science and religion.
Usually, they teach us that we cant question that leap of faith and this is why religions crash.
Sometimes questioning can be uncomfortable, that is why people don't question religion and science. In science people might be afraid to question because it means that they are entering an unknown place and they might not have the answers.
In science, not everything can be proved y this creates a risk to our identity. We reach the point in which we cant prove anything and we only believe what we like and what we believe to be pretty.
If we could prove something with certainty, there wouldn't be any rooms for faith.
