Since the beginning of time free thinking can be define as anyone who did not conform to status qua-wherever was social, political or any kind though outside, like Jews refusing to accept Christianity or Islam prescription of the Messiah or political moments from the right or left in19 century. The Blog follows the spirit of Spinoza which challenge not only his own Hebrew roots, but also Christianity with the tolerance of Montaigne. We dedicate this blog to all them were burn for dare to ask.

God, Evolution and the Polis
One big
misconception and used today, by many when they are speaking about evolution,
if was a theory, which need some verification. To convey ideas is very
important to make simple, clear, transparent and précises. When we are speaking of the scientific method,
it’s not just about the falsification, but control, we have a reference, while
Darwin in the Origin of Species spoke the mechanism was natural selection, and
while itself become complicated idea, natural selection is not just a
biological process, but the environment, internal and social behaviors (Kropotkin’s
Mutual Aid, and recent time De Waal) . The fundamental verification: DNA, in
Humans around 30,000 and Mosquito 50,000, one of the factor of Human mortality
being complicated, the cells continuous mutation (due to external or continues
error) make difficult to handle, while stripes are made from individual immunology
(the cells hide from our natural self-defense mechanism), to DNA repair or
modification, one underline factor the capacity of this cells for Mutation, one
of the fundamental factors driven Natural Selection. We can say with full
certain the Evolution is a fact, as life is bound by the physical experience,
like gravity being one of the fundamental forces, evolution is one of the fundamental
fact science can explain a phenomenon, while science is not just the only
source of knowledge (epistemology), and science may explain everything or not, science
advantage verification and reproducible.
While as danger
to make this fact as an ideology, example and consequences, the Indus valley
civilization, with all their gods, there was not hierarchy and the collapse,
like Egypt, Mesopotamia, a drought, the Maya Civilization abandon their cities
because could not be sustain—they destroy the environment, where in case Indus
Valley climate change, not just them, but extend to Egypt, like of water brought
the civilization down.
In the Athenian constitution,
the reason of the creation of the constitution by Solon and extended Peraclies,
was to deal with poverty, the fact the wealthy bound the poor by big percent
above the original amount interest (a fundamental flaw of the Polis was the citizenship
was male—women excluded and slaves where the drive the economics of the cities),
they created a city bureaucracy, and by paying from Jurors to positions given
poor access to power.
To be consider
as a Polis need to have the angora (public space—the center of the live, where
general assembly, the market was the political center, despise of the demagogues
use the same space to create an opinion), intuitions the Athenians ships stock
with the poor, but pay, the temples, library where become this institutions,
the houses where equal distribution given sense of equality, and in this
assemblies they send themselves to wars, democracy need assemblies, public
spaces and public building, and participation—not political parties, while
factions where created, the randomness and limiting the occupants of office by
time, never to be in the position, again, more important, the salary given the
poor access to participated.
