ad astra

"Americana, muestra las piernas mi sol,
Latina y sana, yo quiero pasar por vos,
bendita pluma que oh, la creación inspiras, pelea mi tierra la canción que alegre al corazón."
We have reached a point in our evolution in which we know a lot. We know a hell of a lot. But we understand very little. Never in human history has there been such an accumulation of knowledge like in the last 100 years. Look how we are. What was that knowledge for? What did we do with it? And the point is that knowledge alone is not enough, that we lack understanding.
