13- Violence

What do we admire about the poison? The antidote; we have certainly been injected with this poison for a long period of time so that our bodies and minds become powerful immunological weapons. What am I getting at with this?


We have learned to see the misery and destruction of wars on our virtual screens, in the same way as we see violent films, neighbourhood gangs, inflamed racial pride, the disfigured face of the opponent in the ring… The misogynist devaluing a woman because she is culturally inferior. The mind focuses on becoming immune to the pain of others. The filtering and centrifuging of the elements that make up the poison ensure its efficiency.


Something will have to happen for all this to be reversed; it is not the responsibility of a single group; weaving finely in such a diverse world implies that the antidote stops being so effective. There are sociologists and philosophers who have done work on the philosophy of violence:


Thomas Hobbes: In his work «Leviathan», he argues that in the state of nature, humans live in a «war of all against all», and that violence is a natural consequence of the pursuit of power and resources.


Karl Marx: sees violence as a tool of class struggle. According to him, violence is a response to the oppression and exploitation of the ruling classes over the working classes.


Michel Foucault: analyses how power and violence are intertwined in social structures. He argues that violence is not only exercised physically, but also through mechanisms of control and surveillance.


One of the most entrenched problems of violence centres on Structural Violence, which is a form of violence that manifests itself through social and economic structures that perpetuate inequality and injustice. Examples include poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to basic services. This violence is rooted in systems that favour certain groups over others, creating a cycle of disadvantage that is difficult to break.


Poor education, a lack of adequate employment, and limited access to health are consequences of this violence that affect entire generations. Cultural norms and government policies often reinforce these dynamics, further perpetuating the marginalization of vulnerable communities and negatively impacting their quality of life. It is therefore crucial to recognize structural violence as a complex phenomenon that requires urgent attention in order to promote meaningful social change and achieve greater equity.


Yes, the social and economic cost of violence prevents us from looking to the stars, things will be complicated. Even if, there is always a niche or reservoir that we can turn to in order to move forward.


Each Asgardian seeks, in inter-discipline, to extend equitable values ​​in a global world, he recognizes himself in his environment, his culture and his horizons delimited by borders, but the Asgardian gaze does not see a break at the borders, from orbit the world is a somewhat spherical body… In reality, it is an irregular oblate spheroid.

From there we can understand that in the face of perfection, we could not advance.
