""The fact that atomic energy is used in warfare does not make international conflicts prob-lems in physics; likewise, the fact that the brain is used in human behavior does not make moral and personal conflicts problems in medicine."" — Apr 13, 2026 12:25AM

“I also fell in love with Borges. He is a mathematician’s writer. His short stories are like mathematical proofs, delicately constructed and with ideas laced together effortlessly. Each step is taken with precision and watertight logic, yet the narrative is full of surprising twists and turns.”

“Lo rememoro siempre que contemplo los payasos que pintó Rouault: esos pobres bufones que, al terminar su parte, en la soledad del carromato se quitan las lentejuelas y regresan a la opacidad de lo cotidiano, donde los ancianos sabemos que la vida es imperfecta, que las historias infantiles con Buenos y Malvados, Justicia e Injusticia, Verdad y Mentira, son finalmente nada más que eso: inocentes sueños. La dura realidad es una desoladora confusión de herniosos ideales y torpes realizaciones, pero siempre habrá algunos empecinados, héroes, santos y artistas, que en sus vidas y en sus obras alcanzan pedazos del Absoluto, que nos ayudan a soportar las repugnantes relatividades.”

“O my brothers, I dedicate and direct you to a new nobility: you shall become procreators and cultivators and sowers of the future — verily, not to a nobility that you might buy like shopkeepers and with shopkeepers' gold: for whatever has its price has little value. Not whence you came shall henceforth constitute your honor, but whither you are going! Your will and your foot which has a will to go over and beyond yourselves — that shall constitute your new honor.”

“People who have acquired academic degrees, without acquiring many economically meaningful skills, not only face personal disappointment and disaffection with society, but also have often become negative factors in the economy and even sources of danger, especially when they lash out at economically successful minorities and ethnically polarize the whole society they live in. . . . . In many places and times, soft-subject students and intellectuals have inflamed hostility, and sometimes violence, against many other successful groups.”
