Back from barca 1.

Now I am waiting for the flight that is delayed a bit.just wondering how they will look like.it is so funny that we left just a day ago and I am already doubting if I recall their faces correctly.(why wouldn't I).on my way to the airport I was listening to the radio (tilos of course), whet they discussed actual political questions like public safety - usual topics like racism popped up. One interesting comment from the speaker: if there is no adequate answer from the politicians' side, the extremists will always present an easy to consume alternative with baseball bats and violence. Another important example was an intelligent guy adopting racist philosophy. The speaker concluded that it takes not too much energy and time for one -despite his being educated and tolerant in the beginning - to absorb that radical thinking. It is therefore not to wise to simply oppose any kind of racism because it lacks the promise of a solution. Actions should also be defined our proposed. Without that, opposing extreme solutions will be quite ineffective and build on the naive idea that one will forever stock to the "good" just based on moral guidance.this is not true for the majority of people.most are pragmatic and beyond a certain "limit" moral has little strength to guide one's actions. Take for example the case when you wait in the queue -as you were taught to behave -but everyone else is overtaking you (by breaking the rule). After a while you will change your behaviour because your original standpoint send to be ineffective in leading to an adequate solution.similar things happen with such cases, and moral is just one component on the equation, which changes its strength over time depending on what it can achieve on the long term.still, it is important but it cannot stand on its own. Feasible actions and impressive communication - education - must play an equal role.
