Just a collection used to built on
Thompson’s Motif-Index is one of the most important works in folklorestudies produced in the twentieth century. Some may view it merely as a taxonomic endeavor, but as Thompson stated, “Before it can become an object of serious and well-considered study, every branch of knowledge needs to be classified. There was a time when geology and botany consisted of random collections of facts and hastily constructed theories. It was only when this anecdotal stage gave way to systematic classification that real progress was made toward a thorough method of study” (1977, 413).

El líder lee por nosotros
Para muchos, los aparatos electrónicos son lo opuesto a los libros y […] A estas personas les asusta que «la muerte del libro» […] esté pavimentando el camino hacia una distopía sin libros donde las masas analfabetas dependerán de sus líderes para que lean por ellos (lo que, por cierto, se parece bastante a cómo han sido siempre las cosas). Contra la lectura. Mikita Brottman. Blackie books. [The Solitary Vice (Counterpoint, 2008)]. Porque los líderes deciden que va en el libro de lectura. Cosas bonitas sobre la sandía y el sapito glo glo o doncellas guerreras. Que hay un domo de cemento cubriendo una isla del Pacífico de la que…

As usual
Although she had long looked forward to it, as the story unfolded, she realized she didn’t find it funny at all. The lyrics were racist, the actors were white, and it was blatantly obvious that the female lead was going to be blamed for everyone else’s misdeeds. The whole thing reminded her of work. Lessons in chemistry. Bonnie Garmus … Whenever women can be blamed of something, they are. Even when half the deed rests upon the male counterpart’s decisions. Which is why women are fired and men keep their jobs. Any chance you’re writing fiction where men are fired the same way women are? Pasto kalo.

A placid lake,A half empty bottle and I take,I can come back to dwell down there.Where the sunset is reflected to mistake.To your calm, short letter back.To your sensible solutions about Italian not spoken great.A nerf shot in disarray.Reaching target without pain.My friend, kilometres away.You understand what's like.

El tazón estaba sucio vs el genocidio de gérmenes inocentes
— Lo he lavado especialmente -dijo tratando de esquivar la mirada de Bethan. Rincewind miró el líquido del tazón. Probablemente había sido transparente antes de ser vertido en el recipiente, ahora beberlo significaría el genocidio para miles de gérmenes inocentes. Lo dejó a un lado con cautela. La luz fantástica. Terry Pratchett. En ocasiones, una descripción del estado de los objetos es mucho más poderosa que decir lo que está sucediendo sin más. Incluso en un párrafo tan pequeño. ¿Cómo van tus descripciones? Pasto kalo.

A more poetic science?!
Although metaphor and analogy areunconventional in scientific circles, I am firmly convinced that a more nonlinear kind of thought will eventually supplant much of the logical reasoning we use today. Chris Langton, one of the primary researchers in the field of complexity theory, has speculated that in the future science will become more poetic. Our troubled world, too, is becoming too complex for logical argumentation, and may have to change its thinking: real trust, when emotions are running high, is based on analogy, not calculation. Meanwhile, we must concentrate our attention on learning all we can about the brain, as a way to get the jump on where the field,…
