- 0:05Goodbye goes equally course. Stick it well, road in the middle direction taken
- 0:12to reach the proposed end set of data that indicate the way to get to
- 0:17a good place that we are leaving, direction that is given in writing.
- 0:20For German Old Mary, it will be a good end of the book containing
- 0:25a defeatous. Then line marked on the tidal map to guide the pilots in
- 0:29rota ru de rotero, stop rotero, two courses think walking with Santiago Albarico
- 0:42Hi santi How about, how are you, what? Good morning, Javier
- 0:49Alegra. Much to hear, then, as always delighted to greet you and
- 0:55with a crazy desire to end the week with these courses in which you take
- 1:00us by the words. Today I think we have the letter n Yes we
- 1:04have the letter L and I think I will hardly need to justify it because
- 1:11I chose the word we' re going to talk about, which is the
- 1:15word snow. There are no others that I like very much we cloud or
- 1:19ships or nest or knot or crisp or nut, but I think that finally
- 1:26snow is a word that imposes itself. Yes, it is imposed perhaps,
- 1:32I say, by the sweetness that has its sound, that almost sounds with
- 1:38that deaf burst that the snow has when it falls. It does, of
- 1:45course, or it doesn' t sound. We' re not gonna make
- 1:48another hour of this. Perhaps in one of the greatest mysteries and sources of
- 1:53happiness produced by snow is this fact that it does not let us out.
- 2:00In any case, well, if we start as always by etymology, it
- 2:04must be said that in this case it almost comes from itself, because it
- 2:07will be that it has a Latin word nyx Medith that you will not be
- 2:14surprised if I tell you that in Latin it meant snow and if you go
- 2:20back to the root in European India, which is something like the bayer,
- 2:25because it also wanted to decide snow, that is, that snow rises itself
- 2:30and comes from itself. And I think that it is important to be so
- 2:37and in other languages, in others ours, because we have a Catalan new
- 2:44in Galicia is said snow and in Basque it is a very nice word and
- 2:47I am not normally a European Indo. And it is the urray that produces
- 2:51a certain chill, that they seek more than any other the idea of cold,
- 2:57which is very beautiful also and you, why you have chosen in nil
- 3:00that I don' t know if I just find out well, because look
- 3:04in any case, also in relation to our last conversation, that you will
- 3:09remember that we dedicate to miracles, to the idea of miracle, because as
- 3:15we follow, you remember always talking and thinking about of course what we have
- 3:16said. For there I kept thinking of this suspension of the principle of causality
- 3:23that introduces Gacel in the 15th century long before Hyum and I set that example
- 3:30of whether it rains the earth is wet and said, of course, the
- 3:36rain is the cause of the humidity, and Algacel said this of how well,
- 3:40it is only because so God wanted it. It was the result of
- 3:46the free will dirina on the one hand, it rained on the other hand,
- 3:52the soil was obeyed. It was God who freely linked the cause and
- 3:57defect of such metal. We could say that all that happens is a lookout.
- 4:00But let us say that for those who believe in the laws of nature
- 4:03and not in God, the surprising or miraculous thing would be that it rained
- 4:09and the ground remained. Dry So I thought that happens sometime, it can
- 4:16happen. It has happened and suddenly the realization that in many countries of the
- 4:21world and once also in Spain and of course, in the mountains, because
- 4:28it always happens very often in winter that if it does not shine and the
- 4:35soil does not get wet, it is that it is going white and that
- 4:41miracles we call snow. And well, I think this idea of the miracle
- 4:46that escaped us a little the other day, which has to do with love,
- 4:51on the one hand, and with beauty, on the other, to
- 4:56what it is referring to. Well, then, look at this. So
- 5:02you ask her what snow is like. I' d say it brings these
- 5:09characteristics together, I' d say it' s white, it' s
- 5:14dry, it' s silent, it' s peaceful, it' s
- 5:18clean, it' s plural and it' s unbiased. It' s
- 5:20this mystery that I' m telling you about. Of course, of course,
- 5:25if you take only four flakes immediately to the ground, it is wet.
- 5:30But if that happens, which is called guaja, when the snow turns,
- 5:34because somehow it becomes another surface that overlaps with that of the earth,
- 5:39through which you can walk, that hardens. And somehow, because the snow
- 5:45dries the dry snow and it is a miracle with a rainfall, for it
- 5:50is dry And besides, somehow I know that in a particular way the earth
- 5:56and then it is white. And because it' s white, I don
- 6:05' t know about being because of some phenomenon that has to do with the
- 6:09refraction of light, with the fact that snowflakes don' t absorb, they
- 6:14absorb light and return it. As it is. It' s completely white,
- 6:17even if it seems to us to be caramelized at times. But I
- 6:20think the question isn' t that and it' s not so much why
- 6:24snow is white, but white chris, white javier. To me this,
- 6:27apparently I' m going to transpital to see it is not that the snow
- 6:31is white, it' s that if you can say something that is white,
- 6:38it' s because there is snow. It' s our white reference.
- 6:40You remember, of course, this school platoon is a bit of a
- 6:44manual that is easy, but more or less recognizable by everyone, for it
- 6:48said that the things of the sublunar world are only to go pale, reflections
- 6:54or opaque copies of the ideas of intelligible, intelligible who, therefore, the
- 7:00world of ideas, because they are also intangible invisible and, moreover, immeasurable,
- 7:06materially immeasurable. Among those three ideas we have spoken other times such as
- 7:14good, truth and beauty. And of course, we can say that according
- 7:18to this platoon here in banal manual, we could say that nothing in the
- 7:23world is as good as the idea of good and that nothing is as true
- 7:28as the idea of truth and that nothing is as beautiful as the idea of
- 7:33beauty. Well, I don' t know if you realize it, because
- 7:36it turns out that snow, if it' s as white as the idea
- 7:41of whiteness. Yeah, and that' s what happens with this one,
- 7:46with this color, that is, when what falls out of the sky,
- 7:49when it denies, it' s kind of like the very idea of whiteness,
- 7:56but no, but black doesn' t. For example, you black.
- 7:57You can say that something that' s black, like the pumpkin,
- 8:01I don' t know, like crow' s wing or like the night
- 8:03itself. No. But the zabache, the crow' s wing and the
- 8:07night are not as black as the idea of black. Neither does the red
- 8:11one. Uh, no, I don' t think the blood, the
- 8:15poppies or the red carnations are as red as the idea of red. I
- 8:20' d tell you even more. Neither revolution is ever as red as the
- 8:24idea as the idea of red. And, on the other hand, all
- 8:28white things can be compared to snow. That, on the other hand,
- 8:33snow cannot be compared to itself. Same is the term if you want all
- 8:37comparisons, but she in turn can' t compare to anything. So,
- 8:41it' s an idea, it' s not an idea that falls into
- 8:46the sky. It is materialized and part of our happiness, I believe,
- 8:50before the snow its course all when we are children that I believe that always
- 8:54and until the end of our life, when it begins at least to raise,
- 8:58it has to do with the fact that it is the only occasion in
- 9:01which we can touch and see and feel an idea, that idea about which
- 9:09all white things are white, because the concluding milk links some feathers. Those
- 9:16are just approaches to the depository snow, the idea of white, the idea
- 9:24of whiteness, of course, is falling white from the sky. He'
- 9:30s seeing white from the sky and that' s why he only admits,
- 9:33if you want to politically, every so much play in the snow, as
- 9:39we know, but he only admits synesthesias and oxymoron I mean, he only
- 9:48allows the contradictory combination of contradictory sensations or even total and complete contradictions. For
- 9:50example, there is a black light in a poem by Alberti and I remember
- 9:54very nice ofÁngeles González, the very short Asturian poet who said it was
- 10:01not a dream I saw the burning snow. I was talking about twilight in
- 10:05a snowy landscape. Either think of that neuda verse that says the snow will
- 10:13burn my heart, or it is another one of Lopez that says the carnation
- 10:18that between the snow burned to refer to the blush on the cheeks of a
- 10:26very pale and very beautiful lover, because then the beauty empre was identified with
- 10:31paleness and whiteness. Well, that can be played with sinesthephy or with loxfiporon,
- 10:37but always from the principle that precisely snow is the term of any comparison,
- 10:43the strong term of comparisons, because it is a material idea also edged
- 10:46before it can be, I think remember, impartial and peaceful, because you
- 10:54say it. Yeah, well, look at me This is also a Pessoa
- 10:58verse. I don' t know if Alberto Caeido' s or which of
- 11:05his heteronyms or if it' s Persoa himself, but there' s a
- 11:11time when he says about himself. The poet says that I am impartial as
- 11:15snow, And it is true because the snow falls from the sky equally over
- 11:24all courses of the earth and as it is very silent, in some way
- 11:30peaces the mood, appeases the control that rain. No, the snow doesn
- 11:33' t make the blonde and the noise. The noise of the rain can
- 11:37be very beautiful, it is almost pianistic repiquete on the roofs, but the
- 11:43snow, the snow, somehow erases all the sounds. But delete also notice.
- 11:50That' s why I' d say she' s not just impartial,
- 11:52but peacemaker. It also erases the borders I imagined to be a kind
- 11:56of casquisian bridge in which the two released to one side and another a border
- 12:03post, look with distrust, wielding their weapon and suddenly begins to snow It
- 12:09carries abundantly and snows and snows? And fog and snow? And even their
- 12:15uniforms are covered with snow. And from or the fields, on one side
- 12:18and on the other side of the barbed wire is covered, covered with snow.
- 12:24In countries, the differences between countries, caps, snow and those soldiers
- 12:30whose uniforms are no longer distinguished because they are both white, as they see
- 12:35in some way in the snow country. What a beautiful thing you just said.
- 12:39I' ve never thought about it, that it' s true that
- 12:43snow can erase any separation line and any distance. And that' s why
- 12:46I think it' s exactly the opposite of bombs. I know that in
- 12:50these courses, even when one tries to make lyrical and always school us the
- 12:56bombs, when we talked about the rain, the bombs slipped in. Just
- 12:58obviously, when we talked about barbarism a few years ago I wondered what the
- 13:03opposite of a bomb was. There is. All these things that leave no
- 13:07trace measurable, as the caresses or true or certain words. He said that
- 13:13the problem with looking for an antonym of the bomb is that the antonyms of
- 13:20the bombs leave no visible victims, because their effects are immeasurable. In bar
- 13:28look at the snow, it can be measured, because it is a materialized
- 13:31idea in such a way that the opposite of a bomb. I' d
- 13:35say it' s precisely the snow. In short, all those things that
- 13:41fall from the sky, but there are not many more that fall from the
- 13:45ice, producing that happiness. Metaphorically, yes, when something happens to you
- 13:48that you didn' t expect and of course, in relation to love,
- 13:52when suddenly, because I don' t know, you have a use of
- 13:56chapto and you fall in love with a man, a hate, a woman,
- 14:00because you have the feeling of the loving object and even the affection you
- 14:05feel towards him. It' s falling things, falling from heaven to refer
- 14:09to you is a miracle, something I didn' t expect, but it
- 14:13' s true that there is something else. It' s completely personal to
- 14:16me. I' d just compare the snow to a beech forest. These
- 14:22are things you want totally against intuitive, something that falls from the sky makes
- 14:26you as happy as snow. It' s the found ones. You'
- 14:31re telling me they don' t spring from the ground, but they fall
- 14:35from the sky and fall on their feet exactly. You once walked through a
- 14:37beech forest. One day we have to make a dog breeder in a beech
- 14:41forest, for example, in the jungle of Iraq and in Navarre some prodigious
- 14:46beech trees, one of the most beautiful beech trees in Europe. And the
- 14:50beech trees do not arise from the ground, they do not fall from the
- 14:56sky, in crowds gently, without making noise. Then you get the feeling
- 14:58that I don' t appreciate you falling as you walk between them. And
- 15:03that' s why it' s so beautiful to walk in a forest.
- 15:09It is a beech forest, it is a forest of nothing somber that does
- 15:15not inspire terror, it inspires this magical feeling of being walking on the beach.
- 15:20And I also think I remember another goal that you have applied to snow
- 15:24and that has caught my attention because I didn' t understand why it is
- 15:28that snow is plural, of course, look. Yes, because it is
- 15:33tural, as it should be, the bread, that abundance, notice that
- 15:37we speak of a copious snow, the rain is torrential, yes, but
- 15:43the amateurs, when they last are copious and copious has a copy of the
- 15:48Latin that means abundance, eh, for example, cornucopia, the horn of
- 15:52abundance, because a copious high is almost a redundancy. If a high is
- 15:56a snowfall, it really has to be copious, it has to be abundant.
- 16:00And, in fact, I believe that in some way, these words,
- 16:07which are very few, which are materialized ideas, are always related to
- 16:11this millennial dream of humanity that has to do with abundance, step with bread.
- 16:17I believe that snow and bread are the only materialized ideas that can be
- 16:22named and noticed. Thinking of this abundance, for he thought of this famous
- 16:26biblical passage of manna fallen from heaven and feed the Hebrews on their flight from
- 16:33slavery in Egypt for forty years, their god feeds them through manna. As
- 16:42a child, this manna I always imagined, I identified it entirely with snow.
- 16:48It is not known whether it fell before or after the dew. The
- 16:52Hebrews picked him up in the morning and kept him. Nor is it well
- 16:57known which was his fufador. There is a passage from the Talmud that says
- 17:03that he knew what those who ate him wanted. But the truth is that
- 17:08the manas place one identifies it with the abundance fallen from the sky and I,
- 17:15of course, in the images that I keep of this child, because
- 17:18this idea of snow, mbaná and snow the snow is something like a big
- 17:25or bread gaff, it is very low on the world. We see the
- 17:30crumbs fall on the ground and I think that there is a saying that gathers
- 17:37this idea very well, that I do not know if it has a real
- 17:42reflection or is only a poetic metaphorical connection, that says year of snows,
- 17:48year of goods, therefore, the idea of the snow of mouth immediately abundance
- 17:55and it is also blame the bread dismigrated on that of a god orbing there
- 18:02in the sky, eating copiously like a snowy one and as it goes cutting
- 18:07the bread the crumbs that fall from the fall, it comes to us in
- 18:11the form of snow, because I wanted to suggest that image that I am
- 18:18very happy that you have also expressed and you also said that the snow is
- 18:25clean, clean and pure for care is that, like the opposite of a
- 18:27bomb, to the snow, I would say that the opposite of cleaning is
- 18:32purity. I remember that the book is that fourteen words for after capitalism,
- 18:37for after capitalism. Busy in a chapter of the word purity, he invented
- 18:44a tale of a false saint polygartius could not overcome all temptations, lust,
- 18:49wealth, pride, power. But when he had defeated them, they were
- 18:57all there naked and along with his column, as he suddenly realized with horror
- 19:03that he had yielded. The worst of temptations is the temptation of purity,
- 19:08because purity, we know, is dangerous, because one does not conform to
- 19:15being pure, but because they do not get a pure cacer of the whole
- 19:19ends up wanting others to be pure. Purity wants to be imposed on everyone.
- 19:26It is like the other side of impartiality, of snow, this tyranny
- 19:30from which it seeks to purify the world as a whole. And then the
- 19:37world becomes puritan and becomes tyrannical and fanatical. Purity is fanatical and the opposite
- 19:44of cleanliness has nothing more to do with what Kafka said to Gustav Hanus at
- 19:48the end of his life, Mira said. The point is that the world
- 19:56is very big and very complex and we have to look at it for a
- 20:03very small peephole. And, therefore, you have to keep that milidia clean.
- 20:07Keeping that mill clean has to do with the effort to remove the legañas,
- 20:11the ideological legañas, the biases and the biases that sometimes form our gaze,
- 20:15but it also has to do with letting the beauty of the world enter
- 20:19our eyes. And, therefore, the snow is clean. The snow is
- 20:33clean, that is, as this double face has a centaurs. Done is
- 20:37idea and matter. It' s a materialized idea, an idealized matter,
- 20:41because let' s say as an idea it' s pure. Well,
- 20:44it' s all the ideas, and in this case, it' s
- 20:48been very exploited in that direction. The rigorism, Mallarmé' s poem,
- 20:52of herocies that live in the fright, that gave him his hair, without
- 21:00caresses, without contact with anyone and finished with this sentence of you that you
- 21:07die that you burn of chastity, night in white of tempane and cruel snow
- 21:12the snows are cruel And it is idea. If it is purity, it
- 21:18is cruel, it demands sacrifices and good. I think we need to accept
- 21:22two things. It must be placed between two points, between self- complacency,
- 21:30purity, which is always puritan and tyrannical, and self- complacency in
- 21:34impurity, in evil, which produce many crimes. And we' re a
- 21:38little bit in these moments of history, moving between the two points. We
- 21:42have left in the middle, because all the elementary colors and we have remained
- 21:48with the self- complacency published and fanatical, fundamentalist, religious or not.
- 21:57And, on the other hand, self- complexity felt evil is absolute cynicism
- 22:03of me. Yesterday I was listening to the Israeli ambassador talk about the children
- 22:12killed by their bombs and regret the death of those children and I found the
- 22:19evil self- complacencial. Throughout history, the complacency of evil has produced many,
- 22:22many victims and we have to stay a bit in the way. We
- 22:26live in a polluted world, in an impure world, in a world where
- 22:30we must constantly be fighting for cleanliness, but at the same time fighting against
- 22:36the idea of purity. So, if she' s not pure but clean,
- 22:42she looks sober to me. Sobriety like this, unless sobriety we always
- 22:48identify it with more dull colors, with grays or with barrons, with more
- 22:56circumspect colors. But, well, we can say it' s obvious.
- 22:59Again, yes, that imposes austerity the snow and the life in the snow
- 23:04is hard, it is demanding and thinking about this fate, I thought just
- 23:10how suddenly these dreams of purity are always narrated in the form of ascension,
- 23:18of astension to the highest, to the clouds or to God. Finally,
- 23:23that mystical ascension. But even on earth there is an ascent as we go
- 23:29up and up, we go up more and more snow and the snow is
- 23:33less and less compatible with survival. I' d say purity is incompatible with
- 23:38survival. And I thought concretely it was in two different works that for me
- 23:45I have liked very much, one very recent to speak immediately and another that
- 23:48for me was a classic of the narrative of the 20th century, of one
- 23:55of the great narrators together with john Ford, for me of the 20th century,
- 24:00who is George Remi, better known as Erge and better known for the
- 24:04character that I think is Tintin sometimes that is a mode of my favorite characters,
- 24:11unfortunately very misunderstood from the left and that, well, then, he
- 24:15wrote in one thousand nine hundred sixty one that for me is his best works,
- 24:21which is ting have in Tiget Te. You remember that Tintin who is
- 24:23going to seek carried by a categorical imperative to his Chinese friend Chang, who
- 24:30has dreamed that he is alive after having been victim of an aviation accident.
- 24:36There, the Jess is based on a famous accident on the mont Blank of
- 24:41an Indian plane in nine hundred and fifty. He was inspired by this accident
- 24:47in which there were no survivors and what Hergé actually counts is his own experience
- 24:52with purity. He was a very Catholic man, he was separating himself from
- 24:56his wife at the time, because they knew in love of another he was
- 25:00having a very bad time, doing a psychoanalysis and began to dream everything blank.
- 25:06Everything I dreamed of was white and only white. I dreamt of the
- 25:10white color. And then he started drawing this graphic story a little bit to
- 25:15free himself, even though the psychoanalyst warned her that it was impossible, that
- 25:21it was a lost battle. And well, look at it got through his
- 25:23wonderful story in which, besides that he really saves Chain, it' s
- 25:29not tintin, but a beast that they call mythological beast, which is called
- 25:36the jetti. For through the writing and design of that graphic story, he
- 25:42freed himself from his desire for purity that he was not tainted and thus managed
- 25:49not only to separate himself in a very benign and healthy way from his wife,
- 25:56but to allow himself to love another, another woman. But what exactly
- 26:00describes this ascension is the ascension to a territory in which, as you go
- 26:07up life, it becomes more and more and more difficult, incompatible with life
- 26:11to the point that the survivors of that accident both the real and the fictitious,
- 26:18for I say there are no survivors except the chan decision. And there
- 26:27' s another recent work, also inspired by a traffic accident of nineteen hundred
- 26:33and seventy- two, the film by Juan Antonio Bayona, The Society of
- 26:37Snow, which I don' t know if you' ve seen it.
- 26:40Yes, yes, the life of boredom. Yes, and I quite liked
- 26:41his epú because of the approach of this tragedy that left a little aside,
- 26:45the morbid anthropophagy in his previous versions was more present and makes a lot of
- 26:52emphasis, and this was pointed out by Pedro Vallin in one of these interesting
- 26:56families are about cinema and about films, for he pointed out that really what
- 27:02allows the survival of all these young people who are very young not only the
- 27:07fact that, being young, they are already stronger, but that they all
- 27:12somehow knew each other. They arrived there in conditions where solidarity, which was
- 27:22easier to put in the other' s place, was easier. And it
- 27:26is very interesting to think to what extent neoliberal anthropology or, better done,
- 27:33the dissolution of anthropological ties induced by neoliberalism, consumption and new technologies put us
- 27:38in very bad condition to survive a catastrophe. Somehow, we accelerated the catastrophe
- 27:48by eroding the subjective conditions that would allow us to survive it eventually, and
- 27:56I think that in this film it is very well reflected as how salvation is
- 28:02solidarity, but solidarity has budgets, they have conditions that are not precisely in
- 28:08which it is somehow building the world in which we live. Quite the opposite.
- 28:17And in that sense, it is very interesting that it is called precisely
- 28:21society and that in the title add the snow, since you are talking about
- 28:25it and what it means in fact, it breaks with purity when certain acts
- 28:29are committed that are considered impure, because above it is the cleansing of their
- 28:34relationship and the importance of solidarity between them. Very well seen, Javier,
- 28:40I think you' ve summed it up a lot better than you' ve
- 28:42done. Me. Yeah, yeah, that' s exactly it. And
- 28:45besides, this is the snow society, because it is something like this,
- 28:48as there is also a contradiction, not to say, there is a society
- 28:53in childhood, because these people show that yes and prove it as you go
- 28:57very well said, violating rules of purity, anthropological purity, carrus very settled
- 29:06in human imaginations to save it to cleanliness and finally, thanks to that life.
- 29:15Yes, because, in fact, purity, as you very well explained,
- 29:18I had not fallen into it. I' m telling you, too.
- 29:23He looks at me for cleaning, that is, it' s almost
- 29:27what destroys each other. Purity ends with cleanliness, of course, yes,
- 29:30I think it includes being a bit harsh. Purity is dirty, purity you
- 29:36don' t feel like getting too close to total purity until it smells bad.
- 29:42That is purity. Purity whether it is those who invoke racial purity or
- 29:47ideological purity or religious purity. They actually live in spaces so closed that they
- 29:55' re even unbreathable, and that' s why I' m saying that
- 30:02in effect cleanings exactly the opposite of purity. Speaking of summits, of course,
- 30:06one of the milestones that a man can, a human being, can
- 30:11put in his life is to reach the highest summit to reach the most inaccessible
- 30:15snows. And I' m thinking about tourism, in the Himalayas that there
- 30:21' s no, I think, activity that destroys snow cleaning more than those
- 30:26totally, because besides, it' s directly linked to what we were saying.
- 30:33It is precisely, on the one hand, the experience contrary to that
- 30:37of a categorical imperative of cleanliness and solidarity and, moreover, it has a
- 30:48brutal ecological cost. That snow tourism that begins the fifties we do when we
- 30:53write their n in Tibet. It' s just that moment and it also
- 30:59somehow does it for this when you start conquering the first eight zeros. I
- 31:03believe that the LEBRC that is conquered in fifty- three, also the Nanga
- 31:10Paarmat of the Ka two in fifty- four and others in fifty- five
- 31:14and up to fifty- eight, the g the four not good. In
- 31:19those moments via let' s say that there is something, there is like
- 31:25individual overcoming, of search, of individual purity, but somehow anticipates what is
- 31:30happening already, those things that we have seen in the Everest, with one
- 31:36hundred and fifty people a day waiting to crown, to crown the summit.
- 31:41And what is there is above all a kind of narcissistic cannibalism, not narcissistic
- 31:47consumer Talibanism, whose harmful effects are also in anthropological terms for humanity, because
- 31:56in the end, precisely tourism is contrary to all those mechanisms of solidarity that
- 32:00allowed the survivors of the accident of one thousand nine hundred seventy- two to
- 32:08survive, and then, Javier, I would say, there are no things
- 32:12that we should impose on ourselves not to touch for precisely reasons of cleanliness and
- 32:21beauty. It' s the bottom of the sea. You don' t
- 32:25have to touch it. It has to remain there as a mystery, a
- 32:29saving mystery, because much of the natural climate renewal is made from those of
- 32:37the seabed. And another thing you don' t have to touch, I
- 32:42think, is the perpetual snowcaps. They have to remain as objects unattainable to
- 32:50the gaze and touched by the human being. Purity should only be attainable with
- 32:54the gaze and in the distance, in these tents covered by unbiased and peaceful
- 33:01joy. But let us not try to touch it, to touch everything,
- 33:09we must repress certain temptations One is that of purity and another is that of
- 33:17defiling purity by taking one' s own narcissism to the top of reberes.
- 33:22Yes, any case, I would distinguish from that craving for human exploration of
- 33:30certain individuals, very different from the exploration of mass invasion. Of course there
- 33:37is also a beautiful book by Pablo Batalla about mountaineering, to which he makes
- 33:43a defense. I would say from the left, precisely this adventure, the
- 33:51adventure of climbing on the mountain. Of course they are two forms, they
- 33:59are very different forms, to the point that in reality we have spoken other
- 34:01times how different is the adventure of tourism to the adventure of the migrant,
- 34:07of the migrant that although it is accompanied by people to whom it does not
- 34:15know, since they undertake solitary adventure and it culminates, It culminates in solo
- 34:21and then is mistreated alone when it arrives in the countries and so called of
- 34:27welcome. And I think that, in fact, there our tradition is rather
- 34:30and not bad at all. It must be defended, also to admire,
- 34:36on the one hand, because some collective adventures that we have called revolutions and,
- 34:43on the other hand, will make you look at some individual adventures such
- 34:49as that of odysseus that of Ulysses and others. And of course, let
- 34:52' s say tourists and they' re revolutionaries and they' re not heroes
- 35:00like Ulysses. And there' s some hero like Ulysses in this world.
- 35:04Right now, they are precisely those who come through true is as well the
- 35:09contrast, the counterpoint of the snow to live an individual adventure that transforms their
- 35:17life and that also wants to rise to transform the lives of other people.
- 35:22Well, it' s also, the crucial difference is that the explorer wants
- 35:27to know and the invader doesn' t know yes and also not know in
- 35:32a very particular way, because what he wants is the opposite of the explorer,
- 35:37who with that living the Lippia, what you want to let into the
- 35:39world. The tourist wants it barrel and put his footprint in the world that
- 35:44you see him in the world, is given to him stepping on the top
- 35:46of Duty. This or in front of the pyramids of Egypt or the Paghmajal,
- 35:57he what matters. I think this is what is at stake right now,
- 36:02taking sides in the world, taking sides for ourselves and here the battle
- 36:07is twofold. I insist it' s controlled.
