http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2016/06/hypocrisy-australian-democracy-160627053737203.html

We need a "realism in life" (Marco Emanuele)

We need a "realism in life". We confuse realism with our certainties on reality while, however, realism is our ability to "be life", to be aware and responsible for every reality that lives. Each human process belongs to us.

"Realism in life" is to share life in this historical moment in which we seem more a mass as sum of individualities that humanity as integration of human persons in creation.

For a new cognitive approach to reality (Marco Emanuele)

For a new cognitive approach to reality, return to the complexity of what we are, we need a cross-disciplinary integration of knowledges; just so, in fact, we can go back to understand worlds and to be truly human persons and historical subjects.

Our democracies are fragile because we have no awareness of the complexity of living together and because we continue to develop a linear thinking that considers contradictions of life as mistakes and wants to predict and quantify everything. In continuing like today, inhuman (the human that we have neglected and ghettoized) can only triumph.

Visions of evolving worlds are poetic and profound (Marco Emanuele)

Visions of evolving worlds are poetic and profound; the rest is just tactical, compromise, order understood as certain and immutable truth.

Life is complex and flows into the complexities of us, at the same time re-creators and destroyers of reality. We have linear answers in a complex world and this means deteriorate world, as it happens.

We need new paradigms to understand the signs of the times, new cognitive approaches, the awareness of the infinite differences living in creation.
