- 0:05Goodbye goes equally course. Close it well, road to the middle direction taken
- 0:12to reach the end, proposed a set of data that indicate the way to
- 0:16reach a place. I think we are leaving direction that is given in writing
- 0:20for Maria day to splendour in order of a book that contains a defeat then,
- 0:26line marked on the map of tides to guide the pilots super rauta of
- 0:36course stops of rote courses bros think walking with Indes García and Paula Andcai Punzandas.
- 0:45What a talins Paula, how you are, because here we are a
- 0:48little heated because spring has suddenly arrived in Madrid, almost a summer slap has
- 0:52arrived. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we' d come up to
- 0:54the studio like Mommy to the flowers and the heat. Yes, but yes,
- 0:57how are you, because a little comply, yes, the change of
- 1:00time and of the night, which does not shelter you enough that you then
- 1:04erase, yes, we appear. Elders, now I would support you from
- 1:11being a rebekite, of course, and you get a little cold, well,
- 1:15what are we going to talk about today in this course that I want
- 1:18so much, because I need a moment of rest and rest. Well,
- 1:19today we' re going to talk about enemies. Wow, so little rest
- 1:23and few blind, but well, but let' s go without hating anyone
- 1:27clear, of course we thought about it another day we talked about friends that
- 1:30I like very much. Yeah, yeah, we wanted to talk a little
- 1:34bit about good about everything that surrounds the word of enemies and the concept of
- 1:37enemies. Think a little if we have enemies from childhood, no, what
- 1:40the hell is an enemy. Evidently, it' s not just the kid
- 1:42who threw you from the but in the schoolyard or the one who stole your
- 1:46boyfriend in fifth grade or, for example, the co- worker who would
- 1:49well stick a dagger in your eye if I could climb above you in the
- 1:52company. Sometimes enemies are people we just don' t like and we don
- 1:56' t know very well why not. And not only do they exist in
- 1:59our lives with sin, but they also exist as an enemy. And we
- 2:00wanted to talk about this a little bit. It is also a word that
- 2:04has jumped to the plane of politics and international relations as well and we wanted
- 2:07to ask ourselves what a political enemy is. It is no different from a
- 2:10political adversary and has some kind of consequences. To conceive society as a series
- 2:15of groups enmity with each other and we wanted to ask you, but by
- 2:20far, with a lot of comedy, who your enemy is. That'
- 2:22s why we said for sure he has, why you can' t be
- 2:24like so many years and so much professional career in this industry without winning some
- 2:29enemy, because you make people are very bitchy, sure, sure, but
- 2:31you say sin and not the sinner. Sure, well, you can think
- 2:34of them while we record this. Some present, but I actually have one
- 2:37thing that I think is a defense mechanism that works very well, which is
- 2:40that I don' t hold a grudge and I have a bad memory for
- 2:44stab wounds. That' s very good, yes, quieter living, quieter
- 2:46living. I mean, he doesn' t usually eat me back. That
- 2:49' s great. It is true that some people have nailed the dagger so
- 2:53deeply, because you do not stop seeing it, but in general I usually
- 2:55forget it. It' s not very good of that you forget why you
- 2:58' re angry with pita and in fact, it comes to me sometimes to
- 3:01remember. But you remember this person did this to you and did the other
- 3:04thing to you and I did before, right? It' s true,
- 3:07yeah, it' s not that bad either. You' ve already prescribed
- 3:12stab wounds. I' m a very benevolent judge and it' s fine.
- 3:15Well, we wanted to start with this thing about political enemies and,
- 3:17above all, with the distinction between enemy and adversary, precisely because language in
- 3:23politics is quite important. It is not that we are experts in political communication,
- 3:28but we found it very interesting to think about these two words, because
- 3:34lately we might think that we heard more like the conception of a political enemy
- 3:39than that of a political adversary, that we have not thought about it alone.
- 3:40Let' s say it. We asked our trusted polytologue, who is
- 3:44our friend Jorge Rubio, and he told us that, in fact, this
- 3:46is so, and we wanted to think a little bit if this has consequences,
- 3:51to collect a little how the language is very important. Yes, we
- 3:53also wanted to make a brief reflection on how interesting it is to consult the
- 3:58dictionary, to consult the rae, because we all have intuitions about what words
- 4:01can suggest to us. But, obviously, when we speak in our day
- 4:04to day, we are not thinking about the meanings of the dictionary and we
- 4:08do not stop to think about what this word or another means before we use
- 4:11it and then before we see the dictionary. Thinking a little bit about these
- 4:14things as an adversary. Enemy I thought that adversary led me as some kind
- 4:16of rational plane, to a competition where there are certain rules or rules,
- 4:20a scheduled combat, where there are things that are worth and things that are
- 4:24not. Instead, enemy suggested things to me as much more rational, such
- 4:28as a series of feelings of jealousy or God. Then we' ll talk
- 4:31about this, feelings that can be like more personified in a person or in
- 4:35a group and that could therefore lead to more violent courses of action and problems.
- 4:41And I just went away additively and the radio confirmed it to me,
- 4:45because adversary we see that his meanings are good. The first is adverse,
- 4:47the second is opposing person or enemy, so we see that these are words
- 4:50that are synonymous or set of opposing enemy people. You say it' s
- 4:55all right here and then we go to the enemy and there' s a
- 4:59rather curious thing that, apart from the meanings that we can all think as
- 5:02for example, contrary you contradict in a war, said from a person to
- 5:05a country suddenly, in the third meaning says person who has bad will to
- 5:10another and wishes him or does bad that here already enters good, as bad
- 5:15intention and in the meaning number five we read in the old right man who
- 5:17had killed the father, the mother or some family member. I mean,
- 5:18we' re already in crime. It' s getting complicated. Yes and
- 5:21above in the crime of blood, in the crime of evil and the sixth
- 5:27we read of enemies. It' s devil directly, I mean, we
- 5:30go to evil and extreme more extreme. And then we found it very curious
- 5:35to prepare in these differences of meanings, because adversary is a word as with
- 5:40very contained meanings, very narrow, very rational, in a certain sense.
- 5:44But we see that enemies is a word that kind of expands into regions that
- 5:46have to do with crime, with the sea personified, with the diary,
- 5:48with the diary, with the devil and well, we see that here there
- 5:53is a difference. Yes, it has much more negative connotations. In fact,
- 5:57there is also one very important thing, which is that it carries like
- 5:59one of the sums of the other. When you call someone an adversary,
- 6:02it' s not like Paula said, it doesn' t involve this kind
- 6:06of personalized violence on someone, but it' s a much stronger thing.
- 6:11In fact, this affects, as we said before, political relations and also
- 6:14social relations, if we think of it in terms of how much more landed.
- 6:17Voters or supporters of a party have a different relationship with voters of the
- 6:21same group and with opponents. It seems to depend whether we see them as
- 6:29adversaries or enemies. It has different implications, for example, that the enemy
- 6:32seems to have to be destroyed, while with the adversary there is a certain
- 6:35possible dialogue, such as that you may have certain bridges. In fact,
- 6:39in politics there is like this whole thing of the new and old politics,
- 6:43like that the old politics and one more thing of political adversary and the new
- 6:46one is more of an enemy with which you cannot dialogue. And it implies
- 6:49one thing, which is that when you build an outside enemy, this serves
- 6:54to internally unite a group, that is, you are from a party or
- 6:57a group. What unites you many times is the opposite with the other,
- 7:00with the enemy who is outside. And there are many philosophers and political theorists
- 7:04who have reflected on this concept of enemy in politics and we wanted to bring
- 7:10in concrete one that is very important, that is Carl Smith, who developed
- 7:13much of his political theory around this, and we wanted to clarify also that
- 7:16he is Nazi. Of course, you always have to warn when a date
- 7:21is a Nazi, because sometimes the Nazis, because they wrote things that were
- 7:25half interesting. Unfortunately. It was funny when we were doing the script thinking
- 7:29that in the race we did a lot of this from our notes. Suddenly
- 7:31there was a naz and we put in fucking Nazi parentheses. All I took
- 7:34to make Rock clear Tona good to remember him to see was also a bit
- 7:38of whore Nane, of course Heidegger, all the notes in the Nazi,
- 7:42but Nazi Javier is a bit Nazi. And there' s debate, but
- 7:44Carl Smith seems to be bat full na. There' s no ratiz no
- 7:46nuances and there' s your total tonazi. But, well, let'
- 7:49s rescue some ideas that we had and we' ve read a paper specifically
- 7:55called the enemy friend criterion, in call Smith, which is of weed conception,
- 7:58thin vine and that you leave it s n n or want to get
- 8:01in like in these moves. But what interests us basically is to think that
- 8:03Smith held a very antagonistic view of society. He conceives it as a series
- 8:09of competing interests between groups, and this results in a struggle as a constant
- 8:13at the social level. There are like irreconcilable interests, as we said in
- 8:20fact he understood that the specific distinction and the one to which almost all political
- 8:24motives could be reduced is the enemy friend distinction, since there is a lot,
- 8:31a lot to scratch, but we are not going to focus much.
- 8:33We just wanted to see this idea of creating a new distinction between us and
- 8:37them. And this explains the feeling of belonging that someone can feel when it
- 8:41comes to identifying with a group, with an ideology, with a party,
- 8:45because many times, as we said at the beginning, identities are built against
- 8:48something. And Delgado Parra says in his article, the perception that one group
- 8:52develops of itself in relation to the others is an element that, while uniting
- 8:56it, distinguishes it. What he said earlier, the possibility of recognizing the
- 9:01enemy implies the identification of a political project that generates a sense of belonging.
- 9:05Hence the nationalisms, hence the Nazisms, which is that. We build ourselves
- 9:11against others the outside enemy, in fact, the old trick of the flag,
- 9:16of pulling out the flag and talking about patriotic values, precisely to question
- 9:22the Community when the Community is disaggregating and when the Community is primarily looking up
- 9:28at the powers that disaggregate it, of course a position to those who do
- 9:31not think that, because it seems that it goes against that, precisely then
- 9:35there is this vision that Smith proposed, of plural societies as bearers of permanent
- 9:39conflicts and of friends and enemies. Also what you have said not that this
- 9:43thing is given, of this distinction in populisms, social movements also identify enemies
- 9:48against which they build a discourse. And today, for example, we see
- 9:52that far- right populisms identify traditionally vulnerable groups as enemies, and this,
- 9:56then, carries terrifying things. We all know this here. And a very
- 10:01good example of this kind of polarization and this kind of speech of targeting an
- 10:03enemy we' ve seen in the last few years in the United States.
- 10:07We have a great example of this with Donald Trump, whose last barbarities are,
- 10:11for example, that migrants are not people. This kind of thing that
- 10:13of course totally dehumanizes this person who is being targeted or this group that is
- 10:18being targeted and then has also said that if you don' t win the
- 10:22elections, there will be a bloodbath, which is like good, full enemies,
- 10:26because this is like a war directly that has no sense at all.
- 10:31But we can also think that in left populisms similar things happen, for example,
- 10:35to identify that the elite or good, the so- called caste,
- 10:37is the bad enemy, while the people would be the good friend, that
- 10:41such distinctions are also used in left populisms and it is understood that both formations
- 10:46or both groups have irreconcilable interests. We also wanted to point a moment to
- 10:50the issue of the enemy in war, for example, genocide Israel Palestine conceives
- 10:56the people of Palestine as an enemy and there is no possible po, no
- 11:01possible humanitarian aid. It doesn' t seem to me that the news came
- 11:03out the other day that an Israeli NGO tried to bring help and everyone jumped
- 11:07on it saying you can' t help an enemy, not in any way
- 11:09when you' ve already put it on it. In the category of enemy,
- 11:11it' s like no, he' s not a person and you
- 11:15can' t help him, you can' t do anything for him.
- 11:16Sure. In the category of adversary there is democracy. In the enemy'
- 11:18s, not clear, the enemy is the destruction of dialogue. So if
- 11:22we are all enemies of a society, we would end up killing it and
- 11:28eventually killing the consensus. And although conflict is necessary throughout democracy, it is
- 11:31also necessary that a clear dialogue can be held. Yes, I believe that
- 11:33dehumanization is key because it looks like a mass of people who are seen not
- 11:37as people with individual lives, but as the enemy. It is not a
- 11:39super abstract and super useful thing, because it seems that all violence against that
- 11:45group of people that well deactivated it is there. Gila with being the enemy
- 11:48that becomes clear what brighter way, from the mood of destroying is precisely those
- 11:52labels so destructive. Totally, quite totally and politically, we wanted to pass
- 11:58a little bit to the staff through a book called The Enemies of Kikomat,
- 12:03which is one of the quadrant Anagrama that we love very funny. Sometimes the
- 12:07book does, here you always have to say the colors, because people lead
- 12:09you scientific. Yeah, first we wanted to talk a little bit about the
- 12:13book, because it' s pretty curious, especially in the form. It
- 12:16has many chapters and there are small texts at the beginning of each section,
- 12:20where basically it tells you I' m going to talk about this in a
- 12:22very comical way. I' m going to quote this one, this one
- 12:24and this one, and then he starts talking. Then the tone is super
- 12:28ironic, very provocative. He invites you as if to come in when we
- 12:31read the book, Paula and I were saying that it' s like he
- 12:33invites you to play in some way and that if you don' t enter
- 12:37his game you might not like the book or not continue it. In fact,
- 12:39there are times when it compares with Hitler it was the same thing and
- 12:41it puts you a footnote that is a joke, it was to see what
- 12:43face you put, so there is like an exchange of a may readable book.
- 12:46Yeah, then it' s very personal, too. There are personal
- 12:50anecdotes, many permanent and conscious contradictions that I like this very much, because
- 12:54it is a book that asks more about questions than wanting to give as answers
- 12:58and then makes humor that I am, but we value a lot of things
- 13:01that are clearly not fun and uses it as comedy, as a means that
- 13:05can serve to express or to talk about things that are tragic or painful.
- 13:07And part of the book of a very interesting premise, which is having enemies
- 13:11can be useful and what Kikuamat is doing is like differentiating between different types of
- 13:18enemies and we are going to make a quick summary of those that we find
- 13:20most interesting. The first is the natural enemies, that this would be that
- 13:24there are people that we dislike and we don' t really know them and
- 13:28wonder why we feel antipathy. And the answer he gives, which seems super
- 13:33curious to me, is that there is always a way of being that attacks
- 13:37your way of being, that is, that it is your identity, is
- 13:39threatened with another identity that is that of the other and tells an anecdote that
- 13:43calls it Cebilly, which is basically that his wife invites good. They take
- 13:48us to a friend of their wife' s who has a couple and they
- 13:50both can' t stand each other and don' t know each other.
- 13:52But at first. It' s like one identity clashes with the other and
- 13:56says I hate him for who doesn' t. For what I' ve
- 13:58done stop doing tonight and the same thing happens to him. With me we
- 14:01hate the identity of others, for we understand that it is a threat to
- 14:05ours. This happens sometimes. To me it seems very chilly, because I
- 14:07always say that I have a gift that is that I' m good at
- 14:11keeping people quiet in a short time and sometimes to certain i always correct,
- 14:16which is what is a little scary that when someone doesn' t like you
- 14:18or always first in the end it turns out that that person has something shady.
- 14:22Yeah, so if that' s a good compass for this kind of
- 14:24thing. Then, ki Coma also proposes that there are friends, invisible enemies,
- 14:28which consists in being friends of enemies, because sometimes it happens that this
- 14:33happens, that we are friends of our enemies and we almost do not realize
- 14:37and we wanted to think a moment about this kind of friendships as harmful,
- 14:41in which you are all the time, as in tension, that you are
- 14:45fighting with your friends and you have as negative feelings of jealousy of envy,
- 14:48but at the same time it is your friends that perhaps good would be like
- 14:52a toxic friendship that we have ever commented on in the podcast, which is
- 14:56a very interesting topic and that, coma te, exposes various causes for this
- 14:58to happen. And we are very interested in this idealization and romanticization that it
- 15:05is possible to romanticize a friend to put on a pedestal that then, well,
- 15:09we see over time that that pedestal does not correspond to reality. And
- 15:11lately there' s a debate about how dangerous it is to romanticize friendship and
- 15:16just like we used to do with love. We have passed as if to
- 15:18say yes, friendship networks are very important and can as important as the couple
- 15:22as the family. But be careful because it can also romanticize such networks,
- 15:28as it can lead us to dangerous sites. Then he also distinguishes between wrong
- 15:31enemies. He says sometimes we' re wrong when it comes to hating.
- 15:35Do not keep a little good what you have said, that sometimes there are
- 15:37people who keep hatred for a long time when you have really forgotten what that
- 15:39person tells you that he was going to the stabbing, has expired or prescribed,
- 15:43as he said ines and we can hate or stop hating sometimes out of
- 15:46pure interest. I think he tells in the book that as soon as I
- 15:50know if there' s a literary critic who doesn' t like him very
- 15:52well, but doesn' t know him. But he does a good review
- 15:54of his book. He says there' s better and he says it like
- 15:58it' s very openly and it' s true that that happens. We
- 16:00also have instant enemies. Well, this here would come up with the whole
- 16:03issue of prejudice or a negative bias to hate people. Our example would be
- 16:10the posh ones and yours is that this is a super cool part of the
- 16:12book, which is like points where it puts all these people and me and
- 16:15starts the posh ones. I don' t know what that is, but
- 16:18anyway, there' s a list of people already in which they have outside,
- 16:22that' s a hundred as stereotypes or types of people or collectives and
- 16:25clear hatred, we' ve left the dicks, because we always have to
- 16:26hate the dicks, but there are many more examples. Yeah, that'
- 16:27s a pretty funny list. And then he talks about the barren enemies,
- 16:30who are enemies that don' t lead you, it' s no use
- 16:33to you. That hatred talking about this debate about whether it' s good
- 16:36for something to have enemies that we can now continue to delve into, because
- 16:38there are enemies that are useless to you. That' s not good for
- 16:41you to feel bad, yes and hate is, because, in the end,
- 16:45it' s a feeling like corrosive and we also wanted to think a
- 16:48little bit that the word of enemies accompanies us more than we think. We
- 16:51don' t have that enemies from the schoolyard and also say a lot about
- 16:53those who fight they want to tell you a lot as a child if the
- 16:57child is treating you badly. It' s because I like that it'
- 17:00s a conception that good should be dismantled, because it' s a little
- 17:03dangerous. No, but we also wanted to ask or throw the question to
- 17:07listeners rather, what does friendship have to do with desire. No. This
- 17:08childish idea was going to think that enmity is already a bond in itself,
- 17:14it doesn' t have to always be opposed to friendship, not like it
- 17:15can contain certain things and certain behaviors. And then mention that there is a
- 17:21narrative scheme that is used a lot today in books for teenagers, which are
- 17:23books that people read up to the age of twenty- seven, which is
- 17:26one thing that I don' t understand very well, but good. People
- 17:27do it that is the Enemis Tollovers from enemies to lovers who are like two
- 17:32people who know each other, are called fatal, but little by little emerges
- 17:34as desire, and this is used a lot also romantic comedies. Okay.
- 17:37That, for example, pride and prejudice. Of course you were a classic
- 17:42of hated loved ones. That would be the good example, enemy lovers is
- 17:47the good example. If this is the good example, then a whole series
- 17:49of strange commercial literature has been derived from it, which should also be reviewed.
- 17:53But indeed, it is very, very good example, the main enemis
- 17:56Stollovers. Yes, and we wanted to go on with this that Kikamat says
- 18:02if enemies are useful ask us this question and see if statements as you keep
- 18:07your friends close and closer to your enemies see if they are present in our
- 18:11day to day and in popular and political culture also in reality, without us
- 18:15noticing. For Amat, this theory seems to you, because it seems to
- 18:19me that it can raise debate. It' s like it' s possible
- 18:23to take the enemy as a free teacher. He calls it then that the
- 18:26enemy, as it is there and you know that he is looking at you
- 18:30and that he is waiting for you to do something wrong to jump, might
- 18:33make you like correct your faults and always try to give the better version that
- 18:37you have or what you are doing. So it' s possible, like
- 18:41this living being watched by your enemies. It is true that Kikoamat speaks a
- 18:45lot of art and writing, which is what he dedicates himself to and says,
- 18:48for example, that in all interviews, after writing his novels, he
- 18:49said I created against something written by Rencor, which was how I' m
- 18:55going to make good novels for all the critics who are waiting for him to
- 18:59come out to enter s or neo. At least I' ll make sure
- 19:00they' re well written and well done. And this is why it says
- 19:03that enemies can be useful. I shop team that was the engine of his
- 19:07life, that he had actually revealed himself and had been the singer who went
- 19:11and became the icon, which is precisely because when he was little, he
- 19:17had many guys that he lived a caravan and then they mistreated because he was
- 19:21a poor, starving and then he became a musician for Rencor, out of
- 19:26spite to his enemies. He took out all the rage and if all the
- 19:29rage. Punk he pulled out was in response to those calling him starving and
- 19:32now looking up at them and saying who the starving are now And now look.
- 19:37Of course, revenge is achieved by duckling. That' s for another
- 19:40defeat. Yes, of course, in these cases the enmity is understood as
- 19:44something that is tense, that feeds, that awakens. We could say I
- 19:47' m this because I' m not that and it can become an engine
- 19:51of action or build your life. Yes, although hate can be very paralyzing
- 19:52and is really eating you inside, it is very toxic. Sure, that
- 19:56would be the negative part and I was going to ask it later, but
- 20:00I, when I read this, I think it makes a lot of sense.
- 20:03And Kikuamat in the book, clearly the final part is where he admits
- 20:07that hate can also destroy you that living like this doing things out of spite
- 20:11or knowing that he has those people watching you, waiting, like doing harm.
- 20:15I prefer not to have any enemies, however useful it may be.
- 20:18I mean, I don' t want teachers of these free. I prefer
- 20:22you want peace of mind. Yes, I don' t want to go
- 20:25with me, not teacher be a friend, of course, of course,
- 20:27of course, much better, it makes much more sense, because this idea
- 20:32of free teachers Amat brings out a little bit of plutarco that is interesting to
- 20:33think about. Well, in ancient Greece, which we bring here from time
- 20:36to time, we already thought about the issue of enemies and already thought about
- 20:40these terms. There is a book by Plutarch that is published here in plum,
- 20:44which is called how to take advantage of enemies directly. It says this
- 20:48we can squeeze it out. And it says because the laughs are always like
- 20:52connecting the issue of individual relations with the issue of society and the State.
- 20:56This is a thing that long ago says a state that does not produce in
- 20:59video, zeal or rivalry. So far it hasn' t existed. It
- 21:02' s like good. You' re still right while we wanted to talk
- 21:06a little bit about good thinking about these passions of envy and rivalry that breed
- 21:11enmity, and says Plutarch that this taking advantage of enemies has its roots in
- 21:14the oldest of human beings, for example cavemen. Speak directly. So,
- 21:18once they take the wild beasts and learn to run away from the beasts.
- 21:19They take advantage of them, they use their skin, their hair, they
- 21:22cook, they make milk, they use the enemy, who is the one
- 21:26who can kill you in that state as the most primitive to get things that
- 21:30you are useful. And he says that if the animals had failed in the
- 21:33sense, had they failed the enemies, man would also have become savage directly,
- 21:37for he would have starved to death. And he says that wise men,
- 21:40wise men, can conveniently use even enmity. And it says how to
- 21:45use enemies. Well, it says the same thing as Kikomat. Evidently,
- 21:48that these always enemies, are stalking and watching your things and looking for the
- 21:53opportunity to jump on you and then you can use it and say many times
- 21:59for not our abandonment and negligence. We don' t find out that our
- 22:03friends are sick and dying, but the enemies are even concerned with their dreams,
- 22:06which seems to me to be quite a poetic date, but that eye
- 22:08to what I did, not that you are permanently living pending enemies and this
- 22:14vigilance can help us to improve. I also tell you that the Greeks were
- 22:18all day with this thing of reducing passions, preserving reasoning, living a life
- 22:22as well unreproachably and above doing so, because the enemies are looking at you
- 22:26and I say that this is a tremendous boredom is totally looking like an example
- 22:30to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, we' ve
- 22:32expired extracting passions, less passion against enemies. Of course not, also,
- 22:36control the passions, well, from time to time, but other times you
- 22:38have to leave them loose and the ancients are always obsessed with this of reducing
- 22:42the passions. I believe that we have been able to overcome it today.
- 22:45Of course that' s exactly why it' s as interesting as Kiykoma'
- 22:49s book because of this contradiction it raises, because the possible conclusion of his
- 22:53book would be to hate. It can be useful if we don' t
- 22:56have in this sense of plutarc, but it can also be really painful.
- 23:00They can do something high out of it or something that destroys you. In
- 23:03fact, in an interview given by Kikamat about this book, he says I
- 23:07despise morals in art, But if there is one conclusion in the book is
- 23:11that enmity and hatred are a neutral thing by itself. Then there is the
- 23:15way you use them, as the phrase of vice says, they can do
- 23:19virtue. That is, it is also interesting as the importance of recognizing that
- 23:23we hate, that we feel unpleasant emotions, that sometimes it seems that we
- 23:27have to aspire to be dispassionate, totally rational beings. And in reality,
- 23:30we are not like immaculate beings full of virtue and goodness all the time.
- 23:36And it' s also like a kind of struggle against hypocrisy that in Kicomate
- 23:38is very present. People say it' s good and it' s not
- 23:41really good. It' s very hard to be good. People who brag
- 23:45about being good are not viable. If you' re good one of your
- 23:48traits should be humility. I really hate these people as with higher principles,
- 23:52all the others that always go common. Not because I, like I'
- 23:56m a good person floating over the rest. If the phrase is a good
- 23:57person, it never goes well. When someone says I' m a good
- 24:00person, I always say eye. That' s like when he says I
- 24:03' m going to be brief and ah you do know they' re lying
- 24:06and what' s totally going on. And we also thought it important to
- 24:08investigate all these emotions beyond hatred, envy, and revenge, even though they
- 24:12are usually criminalized. We might ask ourselves whether it is real to think that
- 24:19we can stop totally hating both socially and personally, or whether, on the
- 24:22contrary, we must live with hatred also at the political level, as we
- 24:27said at the beginning, we must be careful with the language used and not
- 24:32fall into the trap of polarization, dehumanization and hatred of another. They'
- 24:36re our enemies. Necessarily people who don' t think like us shouldn'
- 24:41t be, they shouldn' t be. But I' m thinking that
- 24:42sometimes having some enemy isn' t bad, because I was now remembering myself
- 24:48while you were talking that it' s true that against some enemies one overcomes
- 24:52one. Yeah, you don' t grow up to squeal. Yeah,
- 24:55it' s not okay, too. Yeah, it' s okay.
- 24:56Others you have many enemies. No. People love us very much in general,
- 25:00because we are very good people, we are immaculate beings. But when
- 25:07we could clearly, man, of course when there' s iodine, we
- 25:10' re not perfect. A silly hatred, a lot of hates you hate
- 25:12a lot of people. Not a year, no harm.
