I particularly value the fact that while his observations present us with some complex dilemmas, these are grounded in day-to-day examples and not only on theory books. I am very interested in the visit to the Unarius, not only because it reveals some of the delusional escapism that places such as these engender, but also because it seems to spur from a basic need for meaning and perhaps also the desire to do some good. However, why is it that cities/towns such as these appear to foster the shallowest cultural responses is puzzling to say the least.Beatrizhttp://beatriz-maturana.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
