II. Lo urgente y lo importante.<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">3 de enero del 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Les he estado escuchando. A veces cuando estoy aqu\u00ed, con ustedes, a veces en el <i>stream<\/i> del Cideci, a veces con lo que me comentan sus alumnas y alumnos zapatistas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">En todo momento trato de captar el sentido de sus exposiciones, el rumbo y la direcci\u00f3n de su palabra. Hemos escuchado exposiciones brillantes, did\u00e1cticas unas, complejas otras, pol\u00e9micas las m\u00e1s, pero en y sobre las que se puede debatir. Deben hacerlo, pensamos, entre ustedes. Para esa discusi\u00f3n, tal vez les ayudar\u00eda en algo aclarar la confusi\u00f3n que existe entre ciencia y tecnolog\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Por lo dem\u00e1s, estamos tan sorprendidos como ustedes. El inter\u00e9s por la ciencia no es algo que se haya ordenado o impuesto, nace desde dentro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cuando hace 23 a\u00f1os, el feminismo ven\u00eda a reclamarnos que deb\u00edamos ordenar la liberaci\u00f3n de las mujeres, les dijimos que eso no se ordena, sino que es propio de las compa\u00f1eras. La libertad no se ordena, se conquista. Dos d\u00e9cadas despu\u00e9s, lo que han logrado las compa\u00f1eras apenar\u00eda a quienes entonces se dec\u00edan la vanguardia del feminismo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Igual ahora, la ciencia no se impone. Es producto del proceso de los pueblos, tal y como ya lo explic\u00f3 el Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><!--more-->Les dije que la mayor\u00eda de sus participaciones nos han parecido buenas, pero bueno, de lo que algunos, muy pocos, expusieron, pues no s\u00e9 c\u00f3mo decirles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Alguno me admir\u00f3, escuchaba yo con atenci\u00f3n y esperaba que en determinado momento nos dir\u00eda: \u201c<i>todo esto que les dije, es un fraude, se los platiqu\u00e9 para que vean como es la pseudo ciencia y para que no se conf\u00eden en el principio de autoridad, de que s\u00f3lo porque alguien tiene estudios quiere decir que lo que dice es cient\u00edfico<\/i>\u201d. Pero no, sigui\u00f3 hasta terminar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Le escudri\u00f1\u00e9 el rostro para ver si sonre\u00eda con malicia, y no. Estaba sinceramente convencido de las barbaridades que expres\u00f3, y recib\u00eda agradecido los aplausos que la banda que trajo, y a quienes engatus\u00f3 en la galer\u00eda, le daban.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cuando una compa\u00f1era <i><b>insurgenta<\/b><\/i> escuch\u00f3 eso de que ya no hay que hacer beb\u00e9s, que mejor adoptar, porque ya hay mucha gente en el planeta, me dijo: \u201c<i>entonces ah\u00ed nom\u00e1s se acaba la gente, no se necesita la Hidra, basta con esa idea. Y eso es idea de ricos; aunque sea uno o dos, ya son demasiados ricos y sobran, son los que estorban y no sirven. Esa idea que dijeron nos dice que no hay que luchar por hacer otro mundo, s\u00f3lo tenemos que tomar anticonceptivo<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Les voy a contar lo que alguien, a su vez, me narr\u00f3 de hace tiempo, cuando el mundo era como una manzana esperando el mordisco del pecado original.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Hab\u00eda un hombre que explicaba lo que hac\u00eda para vivir. \u00c9l usaba el m\u00e9todo, dec\u00eda, de \u201cla v\u00edbora boa\u201d. Ten\u00eda un su acompa\u00f1ante. Juntos, envasaban vaselina en frasquitos y les pon\u00edan etiquetas en las que se le\u00eda \u201c<i>Pomada Todotodo<\/i>\u201d y en letra min\u00fascula se pod\u00eda saber que esa pomada curaba todo, desde el Alzheimer hasta el mal de amores, pasando por la polio, la tifoidea, la ca\u00edda del cabello, el mal de ojo, las muelas picadas, el mal olor de los pies o de la boca, y otros males que ahora no recuerdo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Lo que hac\u00eda esa persona es lo siguiente: se paraba en una esquina y se pon\u00eda a vociferar en contra de los zool\u00f3gicos y los circos, que pobres animalitos, que estaban encerrados y as\u00ed. Y anunciaba: \u201c<i>Por eso les vamos a mostrar una v\u00edbora boa, de 7 metros de largo, que encontramos en las alcantarillas, y que rescatamos y cuidamos, y ahora les mostramos a usted, dama, caballero, joven, se\u00f1orita, ni\u00f1o y p\u00fablico en general<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">La gente se acercaba curiosa, y m\u00e1s porque no se ve\u00eda la v\u00edbora por ning\u00fan lado, s\u00f3lo una especie de malet\u00edn lleno de frasquitos de la pomada \u201c<i>Todotodo<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Cuando consideraba que hab\u00eda gente suficiente, se volteaba hac\u00eda su ayudante y dec\u00eda en voz alta: \u201c\u00a1Secretario, <i>tr\u00e1i-ga-me<\/i> la v\u00edbora!\u201d. El c\u00f3mplice asent\u00eda con la cabeza y sal\u00eda corriendo a saber d\u00f3nde.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">El hombre ve\u00eda a su ayudante alej\u00e1ndose. Eligiendo al azar, le comentaba a alguna persona cercana: \u201c<i>Parece mentira, pero ah\u00ed como lo ve, ese pobre muchacho no pod\u00eda moverse hace apenas unas semanas, ni con bast\u00f3n, s\u00f3lo con silla de ruedas. Y m\u00edrelo ahora. Hasta parece un milagro, pero no. Resulta que, para mi suerte, encontr\u00e9 la f\u00f3rmula cient\u00edfica de un medicamento que lo cur\u00f3. Mire, le voy a mostrar<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Claro, el comentario era \u201cinocente\u201d y supuestamente iba dirigido s\u00f3lo a una persona, pero lo hab\u00eda hecho de modo que varios lo escucharan. Se dirig\u00eda entonces al malet\u00edn y tomaba un frasquito y le dec\u00eda a la persona primera: \u201c<i>Mire, esto es de lo que le hablaba<\/i>\u201d. La persona tomaba el frasco y le\u00eda la inscripci\u00f3n, mientras el hombre se desentend\u00eda, como acomodando los frasquitos, mirando hacia donde se hab\u00eda ido su ayudante y comentando como para s\u00ed: \u201c\u00bf<i>por qu\u00e9 tardar\u00e1 tanto este muchacho?, ojal\u00e1 no se le haya escapado la v\u00edbora boa porque si no, ma\u00f1ana sale en las noticias y pobre animalito, tal vez se lo llevan a encerrar o lo convierten en bolsas y zapatos<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Mientras tanto, la persona inocente que recibi\u00f3 el frasco, se lo mostraba a la de junto y le comentaba lo del muchacho que fue por la v\u00edbora. En pocos minutos, el frasco ya ha recorrido a unas 10 personas, y el hombre dice entonces: \u201c<i>A ver ya devu\u00e9lvanle su medicina a la dama, caballero, joven, se\u00f1orita<\/i>\u201d, seg\u00fan, y agregaba, \u201c<i>qu\u00e9delo, se lo regalo, pruebe y ya ver\u00e1<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Entonces otros se acercaban pidiendo su muestra gratis, el hombre, apenado, se disculpaba: \u201c<i>No, lo lamento, no puedo regalarles a todos, este es un pedido especial para la Secretar\u00eda de Salud. Bueno, pero es mejor que lo aprovechen ustedes y no esos desgraciados del gobierno, s\u00f3lo denme unos 10 pesos para fabricar y reponer lo del gobierno<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Bastaba que se acercaran unos 5, para que otros m\u00e1s se sumaran, y al poco tiempo ya ten\u00eda alrededor una aceptable cantidad de personas. La misma gente comentaba entre s\u00ed de qu\u00e9 se trataba, y el hombre, fingiendo desapego, s\u00f3lo se limitaba a cobrar, mientras se lamentaba del retraso de su \u201csecretario\u201d y la mentada v\u00edbora boa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Era cuesti\u00f3n de minutos, y el ayudante regresaba todo agitado y preocupado, y algo le dec\u00eda al hombre en voz baja, \u00e9l s\u00f3lo dec\u00eda \u201c<i>dios m\u00edo, \u00bfde veras?, \u00bfest\u00e1s seguro?<\/i>\u201d Entonces recog\u00eda r\u00e1pidamente su malet\u00edn ya vac\u00edo o casi, y dirigi\u00e9ndose a la gente les dec\u00eda: \u201c<i>P\u00e9lense, se escap\u00f3 la v\u00edbora y ah\u00ed vienen la patrulla y los granaderos<\/i>\u201d, y corr\u00edan asustados. La alarma se generalizaba, y la gente tambi\u00e9n se dispersaba.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Le pregunt\u00e9 cu\u00e1nto le costaba hacer la mentada medicina. Me dijo que los frasquitos los recog\u00edan de la basura, y la vaselina, pues le sal\u00eda como un peso por frasquito. Se ganaba con ese m\u00e9todo unos 100 pesos al d\u00eda, cuando el salario m\u00ednimo era de $ 8.00 diarios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Bueno, s\u00f3lo les quiero decir, a quienes nos quisieron aplicar ese m\u00e9todo en este encuentro, que, aunque tengan grado acad\u00e9mico, no les compramos sus frasquitos. Creo que tienen que buscar otra esquina para ofrecer su mercanc\u00eda chafa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"center\"><b>-*-<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Tal vez alguno mantenga la imagen del ind\u00edgena ignorante e ingenuo, y crey\u00f3 que pod\u00eda decirnos que iba a hablar de una cosa, sabiendo de antemano que lo iba a hacer de otra cosa que no tiene nada de cient\u00edfico. Vaya, ni siquiera alcanza a ser una <i>pseudo<\/i> ciencia, y he le\u00eddo en redes sociales cosas mejor elaboradas, m\u00e1s ingeniosas, e igualmente falsas de cabo a rabo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y d\u00e9jenme decirles: si se quejan de que en la academia no toman en cuenta en ciencias lo que es puro rollo existencial, ac\u00e1 tampoco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Que en la academia no toman en cuenta el activismo pol\u00edtico, ac\u00e1 tampoco. Pero les voy a decir d\u00f3nde s\u00ed lo toman en cuenta: en la izquierda institucional. Ah\u00ed s\u00ed, llegan ustedes y dicen: soy doctor en no s\u00e9 qu\u00e9, y he participado en tantas marchas, m\u00edtines, cursos, entonces s\u00ed los colocan en alguna direcci\u00f3n de lo que sea, o como asesores, o como coordinadores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Aqu\u00ed no, si vienen que saben de matem\u00e1ticas, pues de eso, aunque no sepan qu\u00e9 cosa es plusval\u00eda o lucha de clases, ni sepan si \u201cLa Internacional\u201d es una canci\u00f3n de lucha, una \u00f3pera o el nombre de una tienda de ultramarinos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Como ya les platic\u00f3 el Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s, la ciencia es ciencia, seas partidista o zapatista.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Tampoco vale que nos vengan a adular o a cortejar, aunque creo eso s\u00ed funciona en la academia institucional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Ni valen los chantajes con el color de piel, la preferencia sexual, o la creencia religiosa. Sabes o no sabes de lo que hablas, no cuenta si eres de piel oscura, o blanca, o roja, o amarilla, o negra, o bicolor; no cuenta si eres hombre, mujer, homosexual, gay, trans o lo que sea; no cuenta si eres cat\u00f3lico, o musulm\u00e1n, o ateo, o agn\u00f3stico, o mahometano, o lo que sea siempre y cuando, a la hora de hacer ciencia, hagas ciencia, no religi\u00f3n, filosof\u00eda o la charlataner\u00eda de moda en redes sociales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Entonces ac\u00e1 no se discrimina. Las diferencias no son dem\u00e9rito, pero tampoco son un m\u00e9rito.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Respecto a los sufrimientos o dramas personales, ok, se entienden. Pero comprendan que somos un mal p\u00fablico para pedir l\u00e1stima. Con todo lo que hayan sufrido y sufran, no podr\u00eda equiparse a lo que ha sido, y es, ser lo que somos como lo que somos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Pero comprendo lo que les pasa, cada quien se masturba con lo que puede. Sin embargo, no nos parece honesto mentir diciendo que vendr\u00edan a hablar de ciencia y no de sus azotes existenciales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Pero las compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros son nobles y comprensivos. Los invitamos a hablarnos y lo hemos cumplido, lo hemos escuchado con respeto, lo que no quiere decir que nos tragamos sus piedras de molino. Nosotras, nosotros cumplimos. Esa gente no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Imaginen que \u00e9sta es una asamblea de uno de los poblados zapatistas, y que pasan ustedes a exponer sus proyectos. Pasan de biolog\u00eda, medicina, laboratorio, an\u00e1lisis cl\u00ednico, agroecolog\u00eda, ingenier\u00eda, farmac\u00e9utica, y la asamblea les dice que adelante, que es urgente. De f\u00edsica, qu\u00edmica, matem\u00e1ticas, vulcanolog\u00eda, astronom\u00eda, y dem\u00e1s ciencias, la asamblea les dice que adelante, que es importante.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Y si se presenta alguien que viene a decirnos que la ciencia necesita hacer filosof\u00eda posmoderna y tomar en cuenta las variables existenciales de cada quien, pues la asamblea les va a escuchar, pero no les va a decir que se vayan. Les van a proponer que se infiltren en Skynet y convenzan a la Inteligencia Artificial de seguir la propuesta cient\u00edfica que pretenden. Estoy seguro de que colapsar\u00eda en poco tiempo, lo que aliviar\u00eda la dualidad que sufre John Connor, y a la humanidad entera la librar\u00eda de las secuelas de <i>Terminator<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Claro, yo les recomendar\u00eda que realmente estudiaran y que se dieran cuenta de que est\u00e1n m\u00e1s del lado de Arist\u00f3teles y Ptolomeo, que de Cop\u00e9rnico, Galileo y Kepler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"center\"><b>-*-<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"center\"><b>El Apocalipsis seg\u00fan Defensa Zapatista.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Monta\u00f1as del sureste mexicano. Territorio en resistencia y rebeld\u00eda. Hay una escuela aut\u00f3noma. Un aula. En ella, la promotora de educaci\u00f3n les habla a las ni\u00f1as y ni\u00f1os zapatistas:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>Antes de salir les voy a contar una historia como cuento, ustedes la tienen que pensar y responder a la pregunta que les voy a hacer cuando ya lo saben la peque\u00f1a historia<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">En una de las bancas de atr\u00e1s, una ni\u00f1a deja de dibujar en su cuaderno complicados diagramas que, aunque parezcan de flujo, en realidad son de t\u00e1cticas futboleras. En un costado de las l\u00edneas y flechas se puede leer \u201c<i>cuando completemos el equipo<\/i>\u201d. A los pies de la ni\u00f1a hay un bal\u00f3n, deshilachado y lleno de chipotes, y en su regazo dormita una especie de gato\u2026 o de perro\u2026 o lo que sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">No s\u00f3lo la ni\u00f1a, ahora toda la clase est\u00e1 pendiente de las palabras de la promotora, que dice:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>Hay una voz que nos cuenta lo que ve. Dice que hagan de cuenta que el mundo ya se va a acabar ya de una vez, y que ya s\u00f3lo se mira que est\u00e1n dos hombres. Los dos est\u00e1n parados uno frente al otro, y no se hablan, pero se mira que est\u00e1n muy bravos. Son los \u00fanicos hombres que quedan, ya todos los dem\u00e1s ya murieron ya. Son los \u00faltimos hombres de la Tierra. No se hablan ni se miran esos dos hombres, pero est\u00e1n discutiendo muy embravecidos. Y no se miran ni se hablan porque se est\u00e1n mandando mensajes en sus celulares. O sea que, como quien dice, est\u00e1n peleando como si sus celulares fueran sus armas, las \u00fanicas que quedan porque el mundo ya se est\u00e1 acabando ya. Se est\u00e1n rega\u00f1ando muy rabiosos esos hombres, que ya s\u00f3lo ellos dos se ven. Y uno le est\u00e1 diciendo al otro, que sea que le manda mensaje:<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>T\u00fa lo tienes la culpa porque con la ciencia lo hiciste la destrucci\u00f3n<\/i>\u201d.

Pero parece que a \u201cDefensa Zapatista\u201d eso le ten\u00eda sin cuidado.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Al otro d\u00eda, camino al pueblo, pas\u00e9 por el potrero. Ya la noche empezaba a nacer del suelo y como quiera segu\u00eda el sonido de quienes rasgu\u00f1aban el muro. A\u00fan hab\u00eda luz suficiente, porque \u201cDefensa Zapatista\u201d estaba en el campo, reunida con un grupo en el que reconoc\u00ed al viejo caballo choco que la acompa\u00f1a a veces, al Gato-perro, y al Pedrito. Hab\u00eda tambi\u00e9n dos hombres, uno bajo y otro alto, a quienes no identifiqu\u00e9 y supuse que eran de la Sexta y que la ni\u00f1a los estaba tratando de incorporar a su siempre incompleto equipo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Me vio de lejos la ni\u00f1a y me salud\u00f3 agitando la mano. Correspond\u00ed al saludo, d\u00e1ndome cuenta de que \u201cDefensa Zapatista\u201d hab\u00eda resuelto el problema porque re\u00eda y corr\u00eda de un lado a otro, mostr\u00e1ndole al grupo d\u00f3nde deber\u00edan colocarse en un dispositivo que me semej\u00f3 la figura de un caracol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Segu\u00ed mi camino, recordando el final de aquel d\u00eda de l\u00e1grimas, cuando ya sonriente y con la carita iluminada, \u201cDefensa Zapatista\u201d se despidi\u00f3:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>Ya me voy ya, Sup, me tengo que ir<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201c<i>\u00bfY qu\u00e9 vas a hacer?<\/i>\u201d, le pregunt\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Ya se alejaba cuando me grit\u00f3: \u201c<i>Voy a so\u00f1ar<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Mientras esperaba a que se reunieran las compa\u00f1eros y compa\u00f1eros para la pl\u00e1tica que me tocaba dar, la noche lleg\u00f3 con sus propios pasos y sonidos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Pens\u00e9 entonces que tal vez al finado SupMarcos le hubiera gustado estar presente en el sue\u00f1o de \u201cDefensa Zapatista\u201d y as\u00ed saber c\u00f3mo argument\u00f3 la ni\u00f1a y cu\u00e1l fue la decisi\u00f3n de la asamblea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">O tal vez estuvo ah\u00ed de por s\u00ed. Porque, al menos en estas tierras, los muertos andan de un lado a otro.

II. The Urgent and the Important<\/b><\/p>\n<p>January 3, 2017<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been listening to you. Sometimes when I\u2019m here with you all, sometimes via the CIDECI stream, sometimes via what your Zapatista students mention to me.<\/p>\n<p>I always try to get a grasp on the meaning of your presentations, the path and direction of your words. We have heard brilliant presentations, some didactic, some complex, the majority polemical, but on and about things that can be debated. And we think you should do so, among yourselves. For that discussion, perhaps it would help you to first clarify the confusion that exists between science and technology.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to the rest, we are as surprised as you are. This interest [of the Zapatista students] in science is not something we ordered or imposed, but rather something that was born from inside [of the Zapatista communities].<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-three years ago, when feminism came to demand that we order women\u2019s liberation, we told them that wasn\u2019t something that can be ordered, because it belongs to the compa\u00f1eras. Freedom is not ordered, it is conquered. Two decades later, what the <i>compa\u00f1eras<\/i> have achieved would put to shame those who at that time claimed to be the vanguard of feminism.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same now. Science is not imposed. It is the product of a process of the peoples, exactly as Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s explained.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve told you that we thought the majority of your presentations were good, but there were some, just a few, that, well I don\u2019t know what to tell you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->One of them said admiring things about me; I listened with attention and waited for the moment when he would say: \u201c<i>everything I have just said is a fraud, I presented it to you so you would see what pseudo-science is and so that you don\u2019t trust the principal of authority; just because someone has a formal education doesn\u2019t mean that what they say is scientific<\/i>.\u201d But no, that moment never came.<\/p>\n<p>I scrutinized his face to see if he was smiling maliciously, but no. He was sincerely convinced of the barbarities he was presenting, and appreciatively received the applause of his buddies in the crowd and others he had managed to sweet-talk.<\/p>\n<p>When a <i>compa\u00f1era insurgenta<\/i> heard that thing about not needing to make babies, that it\u2019s better to adopt because there are a lot of people on the planet already, she said to me:<i> \u201cso that\u2019s how they get rid of people, the Hydra isn\u2019t even necessary, that idea is sufficie<\/i><i>nt. That\u2019s the idea of rich people; even if there are only one or two of them, they are already too rich and too many, they are the ones who are in th<\/i><i>e way and of no use. That idea that was presented tells us there is no need to struggle to make another world, we just need to take contraceptives.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to tell you what someone once told me about the time when the world was like an apple, waiting for the bite of original sin.<\/p>\n<p>This man was explaining to me how he made a living. He used the \u201cBoa Constrictor\u201d method, as he called it. He had a helper, and together they would put vaseline into small jars and make labels that read \u201c<i>Balm for Absolutely Everything.<\/i>\u201d The small print told you that this balm could cure everything from Alzheimers to a broken heart, including along the way polio, typhoid fever, hair loss, evil eye, toothache, foot odor, bad breath, and some other ailments that I don\u2019t remember.<\/p>\n<p>This is what this person would do: stand on a corner and begin to rail against zoos and circuses, that oh the poor little animals, locked up like that. And he would announce: <i>\u201cThat is why we are going to show you a boa constrictor, 7 meters long, that we found in the sewer and rescued and now take care of, and right here and now we are going to show it to you, madam, sir, young man, young lady, child, the public in general.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>People would gather around curiously, mostly because the boa constrictor was nowhere in sight, just an old suitcase full of small jars of a balm called \u201c<i>Absolutely Everything.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he decided there were enough people around, he would turn to his helper and say loudly, \u201c<i>Secretary! Brrrrrinnnnnngg me the boa!<\/i>\u201d The accomplice would nod and run off to who knows where.<\/p>\n<p>The man would watch his helper move into the distance. Picking at random, he would comment to someone close: \u201c<i>It seems like a lie, but just a few weeks ago that boy couldn\u2019t move, not even with a cane, only in a wheelchair. And just look at him now. It seems like a miracle, but no, that\u2019s not it. What happened was, luckily, I found the scientific formula for a medicine that cured him. Here, I\u2019ll show you.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the \u201cinnocent\u201d comment that was supposedly aimed at one person was said in such a way for several to hear. The man would then go to the suitcase and take out a jar and tell the first person to whom he had directed the comment: \u201c<i>Look, this is what I was telling you about.<\/i>\u201d The person would take the jar and read the label while the man would pretend indifference, rearranging the little jars and looking in the direction the assistant had gone and commenting as if to himself, \u201c<i>why is that boy taking so long? I hope the boa constrictor hasn\u2019t escaped on him, because if it has, we\u2019ll see it in the news tomorrow, poor animal, they might cage it or turn it into bags and shoes.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the innocent person who received the jar would be showing it to the person beside them, commenting on what had happened to the boy who went to get the boa. In a few minutes the jar had been passed through some 10 people, and the man would say then: \u201c<i>Okay now, give the medicine back to the madam, the gentlemen, the young man, young woman<\/i>,\u201d accordingly, and then to that person would add, \u201c<i>you keep it, as a gift, try it, you\u2019ll see.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others would then come up asking for their free sample too and the man, apologetically, would explain: <i>\u201cNo, I\u2019m sorry, I can\u2019t give them to everyone, it\u2019s a special order from the Secretary of Health. But, not that I think about it, it\u2019s better for you all to have a chance to try it instead of those government scoundrels. Just give me 10 pesos each so I can replace the government order.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n<p>It was enough that 5 or so people would come up for others to join in, and soon he would have around him a decent number of people. The people would comment among themselves what the balm was all about and the man, pretending indifference, would merely charge for each jar while lamenting the delay of his \u201csecretary\u201d and and the cursed boa.<\/p>\n<p>In a matter of minutes, the helper would come back all agitated and worried and whisper something to the man. The man would answer \u201c<i>My god, really? Are you sure?<\/i>\u201d Then he would quickly pick up the now empty or almost empty suitcase and, addressing the people gathered there, proclaim: \u201c<i>Run! The boa escaped and the police and patrols are on their way.<\/i>\u201d He and the helper would take off with alarm and as the word of warning spread the people would scatter also.<\/p>\n<p>I asked him how much the cursed medicine cost. He told me he pulled the little jars out of the trash and the vaseline, well that came out to about a peso per jar. So this method earned him some 100 pesos a day, at a time when the minimum wage was 8 pesos a day.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I just wanted to say to those who tried to apply that method in this gathering thateven if you have an academic degree, we\u2019re not buying your little jars. You\u2019ll have to look for another corner from which to hock your quack commodities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>-*-<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps somebody out there still has the image in mind of the ignorant and naive indigenous, and thought they could tell us they were going to talk about one thing knowing full well that they were going to talk about something else that had nothing to do with science. Hell, it doesn\u2019t even manage to be pseudoscience. I\u2019ve read better developed, more original, and equally false things on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Let me tell you: if you complain that the science departments in academia don\u2019t take seriously what is pure existential nonsense, well, here we don\u2019t either.<\/p>\n<p>If in academia they don\u2019t take your political activism in account, well we don\u2019t either. But I can tell you where they do: on the institutional left. There, yes, you can go and say: I\u2019m a doctorate in who knows what and I\u2019ve participated in this many marches, rallies, and classes, and indeed they will give you some leadership position in something, anything, as advisors or coordinators.<\/p>\n<p>Here, if you came because you know mathematics, then we want to hear you talk about mathematics, even if you don\u2019t know what surplus value or class struggle is, even if you don\u2019t know if \u201cThe International\u201d is a song of struggle, an opera, or the name of a corner store. As Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s already told you, science is science, whether you are a <i>partidista<\/i> [associated with a political party] or a Zapatista.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also not worth your time to come here and fawn over or court us, although I think that does work in academic institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Neither are we interested in being manipulated around skin color, sexual preference, or religious belief. You either know what you\u2019re talking about or you don\u2019t; it doesn\u2019t matter if you are dark-skinned, white, red, yellow, black, or mixed; it doesn\u2019t matter if you are a man, woman, homosexual, gay, trans, or whatever; it doesn\u2019t matter if you are Catholic, Muslim, atheist, agnostic, Mohammedan, or whatever; if you\u2019re going to do science, then you do science, not religion, philosophy, or the quackery currently trending on social media.<\/p>\n<p>So here we don\u2019t discriminate. Here differences aren\u2019t a demerit, but they aren\u2019t a merit either. With respect to the personal sufferings or dramas you may have, fine, we understand. But you should understand that we are a very poor audience from which to expect pity. With everything you have suffered and continue to suffer, it could not compare with what it has been, and is, to be what we are.<\/p>\n<p>But I understand what\u2019s going on with you, everyone gets off with what they can. However, it doesn\u2019t seem honest to us to come here and lie, saying you came to talk about science and not your existential lashings.<\/p>\n<p>But the <i>compa\u00f1eros<\/i> and <i>compa\u00f1eras<\/i> are noble and understanding. We invited you to talk to us and we have honored that; we have listened with respect, which isn\u2019t the same as saying that we have swallowed all your tall tales. We honored the agreement. Those people did not.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine that this is an assembly in one of the Zapatista communities, and you go up to present one of your projects. You have said you are going talk about biology, medicine, laboratory work, clinical analysis, agroecology, engineering, or pharmaceuticals, and the assembly says, yes, go ahead, these things are urgent. Or you are coming to talk about physics, chemistry, math, volcanology, astronomy, and other sciences, and the assembly says yes, go ahead, these things are important.<\/p>\n<p>But if someone comes who says they are going to tell us that science needs to do postmodern philosophy and take the existential variables of each person into account, well, the assembly is going to listen to you, but they aren\u2019t going to tell you to go ahead. They are going to propose that you infiltrate Skynet and convince Artificial Intelligence to accept your scientific proposal. I\u2019m sure that it would collapse in no time, which would relieve the duality suffered by John Connor, and humanity as a whole would be liberated from the Terminator sequels.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I recommend that you truly study and realize that you are closer to Aristotle and Ptolemy than to Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>-*-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Apocalypse According to <\/b><i><b>Defensa Zapatista <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The mountains of the Mexican Southeast. Territory in resistance and rebellion. There is an autonomous school. A classroom. There, the education <i>promotora<\/i> is talking to the Zapatista girls and boys:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Before we leave I\u2019m going to tell you a story. You have to think about it and respond to the question I ask at the end.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>On one of the benches at the back, a little girl stops drawing complicated diagrams in her notebook which, although they appear to be flowcharts, are really diagrams of soccer tactics. At the margin of the lines and arrows one can read \u201c<i>when we fill up the team.<\/i>\u201d At the little girl\u2019s feet there is a ball, frayed and full of lumps, and on her laps sleeps a kind of cat\u2026or a dog\u2026 or something.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just the little girl, but the whole class that\u2019s hanging on the words of the <i>promotora<\/i>, who says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>There is a voice that tells us what it sees. It says to realize that the world is going to end once and for all, and that we can see that there are only two men left. The two are standing face to face; they aren\u2019t talking to each other, but you can tell they are very angry. They are the only men left, everyone else has died already. They are the last men on Earth. These two men don\u2019t talk to each other or look at each other, but they are arguing angrily. And they aren\u2019t talking to or looking at each other because they are sending each other messages on their phones. That is, as they say, they are fighting as if their cellphones were weapons, the only ones left because the world is ending. They are scolding each other harshly, as only the two of them can see. One is saying to the other, that is, he is sending him a text message:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>It is all your fault because with science you created destruction.\u201d<\/i> (send)<\/p>\n<p><i>The other looks at the message on his phone, gets angry and answers:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>No, it is your fault because instead of science, you starting saying we should do what the ancient primitives did and not use technologies.\u201d <\/i>(send)<\/p>\n<p><i>The first really gets mad now and you can see in his eyes that it\u2019s like he wants to burn up the screen of his phone. He writes:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>No, it\u2019s your fault because with your science and technology you created the weapons that killed off everything, including the poor little animals.\u201d<\/i> (send)<\/p>\n<p><i>The other looks at the message and you can see in his eyes he\u2019s thinking \u201cyou\u2019ll see, you bastard,\u201d and he responds:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>No, it\u2019s your fault because you said that we shouldn\u2019t learn science because science is bad because it doesn\u2019t respect Mother Earth and does her harm.\u201d <\/i>(send)<\/p>\n<p><i>The other looks with hate at the screen and types out:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>No, it\u2019s your fault because you think you know so much with your science and you don\u2019t take the people\u2019s needs into account and you go around with a big head thinking nobody can match you and all that shit you talk.\u201d <\/i>(send)<\/p>\n<p><i>The first reads and gets so furious you wouldn\u2019t believe it. He looks at the other and in his eye you can see \u201cyou\u2019re going to die, bastard.\u201d So he writes:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>No, it\u2019s your fault because you criticized science out of pure laziness, you don\u2019t want to study or learn because it\u2019s clear that you\u2019re just slothful and trifling.\u201d <\/i>(send)<\/p>\n<p><i>The two men go on like this for awhile, fighting angrily over their cellphones. They don\u2019t know it, but this is the last day; as soon as night falls, everything is over. But because they were fighting and looking at their cell phones, they didn\u2019t realize<\/i> w<i>hen the sun hid itself in the mountains and the the land fell dark.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The education <i>promotora<\/i> who has used everything she learned in her education preparation courses in order to tell the story, concludes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Okay, so this is the story the voice has narrated. So, the question you must answer is: \u201cWhich of the men survived the end of the world?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The children stay quiet, thinking.<\/p>\n<p>In the first row of the classroom sits Pedrito. He says it\u2019s so that he can pay close attention, but we all know it\u2019s because he\u2019s totally in love with the <i>promotora<\/i>, but we\u2019re not going to publish that because it\u2019s his secret.<\/p>\n<p>Pedrito raises his hand, asking to be called on.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>promotora<\/i> is about to say, \u201c<i>Let\u2019s see, Pedrito, what do you think<\/i>,\u201d when from the back of the classroom a little girl\u2019s voice says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Well that\u2019s easy.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Everyone, including the <i>promotora<\/i>, turns to look at the little girl who has stood up and already has her bag over her shoulder with her notebook and pen inside. In her little hands she holds the frayed ball, while the Cat-dog stretches at her feet. The teacher says resignedly:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Okay Defensa Zapatista, tell us what you think.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The little girl is already moving toward the door of the classroom as she announces:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>The answer is easy, because it\u2019s clear that it\u2019s the fucking men\u2019s fault that the world is ending because they\u2019re so terrible with that <\/i><i><b>patriarchality <\/b><\/i><i>of theirs which is just impossible to believe in anymore. And they didn\u2019t study the fucking Hydra which has been consuming and screwing over the whole planet earth. So there they are, all macho, fighting with their cell phones and their songs about horses and love and then about lost love, I mean why can\u2019t they just decide already. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Anyway, teacher, so that you understand as the women that we are, I\u2019m going to explain the word \u201c<\/i><i><b>patriarchality<\/b><\/i><i>\u201d which is like where the men rule and they want us women to just be waiting on them hand and foot, and then later they tell us how much they love us and how we have very pretty eyes, as if they were looking at our eyes, no, they\u2019re looking at something else. I don\u2019t know what it is that they\u2019re really looking at because I\u2019m not grown up yet, but that\u2019s what my moms told me the fucking men do. When I grow up, they better not even think about it, I\u2019m going to give them their slaps upside the head and a few kicks if they look at me wrong. So, the \u201c<\/i><i><b>patriarchality<\/b><\/i><i>\u201d<\/i><i><b> <\/b><\/i><i>means that the fucking men just want us to make them their <\/i>pozol<i> and then are always pestering us for a kiss. Do you think we\u2019re just going to give them a kiss, just like that? Oh no, I don\u2019t think so, maybe instead of a kiss a knock on the head. And then they think they\u2019re going to convince us with their songs about horses. They\u2019re just so dumb, let\u2019s see if they can find a horse to make them their <\/i>pozol<i>, what are they going to come up with then, never ever\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The teacher knows the little girl very well already, so she interrupts:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Okay, Defensa Zapatista, answer the question.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The little girl is already at the door. As the Cat-dog wags its tail happily at her feet, she responds:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Look, it\u2019s easy. Neither of the two men live; they both die because they were stupid. Clearly it\u2019s the fault of the <\/i><i><b>patriarchality<\/b><\/i><i> that the world is going to end, but it doesn\u2019t, because it turns out there is someone who lives which is the compa\u00f1era who is telling the story. Because if it\u2019s not a compa\u00f1era who tells the story then there\u2019s no story. And the compa\u00f1era who tells the story carries her little baby on her back in her shawl and is giving what you might call political lessons to the baby, so that the baby learns that we have to support each other as the women that we are.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The little girl didn\u2019t wait to see what the education <i>promotora<\/i> would say, and accepting as a given that her answer was correct, ran out of the classroom yelling \u201c<i>Let\u2019s play!<\/i>\u201d as the Cat-dog and the rest of the class followed her out the door.<\/p>\n<p>The education <i>promotora<\/i> smiles as she puts away her notebooks and books, one of which reads across the cover, <i><b>\u201cTwentieth Anniversary Anthology. National Indigenous Congress. Never Again a Mexico Without Us.\u201d<\/b><\/i> Ready to leave, the teacher notices that not all the children have left.<\/p>\n<p>On the front bench sits Pedrito, looking all sad and defeated. The <i>promotora<\/i> goes over and sits down beside him asking,<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>What\u2019s wrong Pedrito, why are you sad?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Pedrito sighs and answers, <i>\u201cBecause I didn\u2019t get to answer the question because Defensa Zapatista spoke first.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Ah<\/i>,\u201d the teachers says, \u201c<i>don\u2019t worry Pedrito, what was your answer?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Pedrito explains with a tone of the obvious:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Well I was going to answer that the story doesn\u2019t hold up, because if there are only two men left, arguing over their cell phones, then who is working so that there\u2019s a cell signal? This means that there are others who continue working, that is, that there can\u2019t just be two left. So you see what I\u2019m saying teacher, your story lacks logic, coherence in the argument. So the answer is that the very premise is faulty and for that reason, the conclusion, whatever that may be, is false. This would have been understood if critical thinking was applied to the analysis.\u201d <\/i>(trust me, that\u2019s how Pedrito talks, if you get to meet him some day you\u2019ll see I\u2019m not making things up).<\/p>\n<p>Pedrito, after finishing talking, returns to his posture of sorrow and sadness.<\/p>\n<p>The education <i>promotora<\/i> is thinking about what the words \u201c<i>coherence<\/i>\u201d and \u201c<i>premise<\/i>\u201d mean, and that this is always the case with Pedrito, that he uses words that challenge even the Comandancia. The <i>promotora<\/i> isn\u2019t embarrassed to ask Pedrito what those words mean, but she sees that Pedrito is sad so she hugs him and says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Don\u2019t worry Pedrito, your answer is good, too<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pedrito, upon being hugged, turns all shades of red and puts on his \u201c<i>no<\/i><i> one has ever hugged me before<\/i>\u201d face, just like the deceased SupMarcos taught him. Letting himself be loved on, Pedrito thinks that it turned out well after all that <i>Defensa Zapatista <\/i>answered first, because this was why the <i>promotora<\/i> was hugging him and from within the embrace, Pedrito understands that no, the world is not going to end, that as long as the embrace lasts the world will keep giving opportunity to life, because that is what life is, an embrace.<\/p>\n<p>Pedrito is reflecting on this when the little girl appears in the doorway and says to him, <i>\u201cHurry up Pedrito, we have to fill up the team so we can bring a challenge.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Pedrito separates himself from the embrace of the <i>promotora<\/i> as if tearing his heart out, but he goes over to the little girl because he is, in addition to a little boy, a Zapatista, and a Zapatista can\u2019t allow the team to be let down on their account. Before leaving the room Pedrito says to the little girl: <i>\u201cBut I\u2019m telling you straight<\/i><i>-up <\/i><i>right now that I\u2019m not playing goalie anymore, put the one-eyed horse on goalie, I want to play forward.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Defensa Zapatista is not going to let a boy have the last word in this story, so she says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Forward? Puh-leeze. SupGaleano showed me some videos and now I have a new plan. Now we are going to play according to the science of \u2018total soccer\u2019 like those Dutch orange ones. Don\u2019t you know you have to study for that? You do. Both things, science and art. Later I\u2019ll explain it to you. Just as soon as we fill up the team you\u2019ll see, don\u2019t worry, there will be more of us, it might take awhile, but there will be more.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The little boy and the little girl leave. It is only then that we can see that the little girl has on an orange t-shirt that hangs nearly to her heels and taped on the back are crooked letters that spell \u201c<i>Cruyff\u201d<a class=\"sdendnoteanc\" href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2017\/02\/22\/whats-next-ii-the-urgent-and-the-important\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EnlaceZapatista+%28Enlace+Zapatista%29#sdendnote1sym\" name=\"sdendnote1anc\"><sup>i<\/sup><\/a> <\/i> and below them:<i> \u201cResistance and Rebellion.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Off to the side of the pasture waits a motley crew including: a old horse leisurely chewing on a empty tobacco bag; a short man with gray hair shivering despite his coat; and a tall, thin man who stands out for his height and the strange hat he is wearing. He is using his magnifying glass to study with great interest a small strange animal that, at a distance seems to be a dog\u2026 or a cat.. or a cat-dog.<\/p>\n<p>Nearby, where the community has been working to deepen the scratches in the wall, anonymous hands have written, below and to the left, a graffiti that is bursting in color. It reads:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i><b>We are the National Indigenous Congress and we are going for everything, and it will be for everyone.\u201d <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>In a bunker far away, alarms are going off and the earth is trembling.

But despite this, or precisely because of it, I\u2019m going to tell the story because after hearing you speak, present, reflect, and try to respond and teach, I\u2019ve been thinking about what\u2019s next. I don\u2019t know if you all have thought about it. If not, I recommend that you do\u2014think about what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve imagined that we\u2019re in another time, further ahead. Here goes:<\/p>\n<p>This time, without being announced by a soccer ball rolling in, \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista\u201d<\/i> has arrived at my hut. It\u2019s clear that she\u2019s been crying, and a few tears still glow on her cheeks. \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i>\u201d maintains that little girls don\u2019t cry, that that\u2019s for men, and that women are stronger. So I understood why the little girl had come to my hut, where there are only ghosts and silences. Here she is safe, here she can cry without anyone, except me, seeing her. Here she can put her strength away in a box and let feelings fill her gaze and sorrow become liquid.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t say anything. I acted like I didn\u2019t see her and that I was busy sweeping tobacco and crumpled up papers off the floor around the table.<br \/>\nFinally, she wiped her tears with a red handkerchief, sighed, and cleared her throat in order to ask me:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Hey Sup, do you know what it\u2019s like to have a bad dream?\u201d<\/i><br \/>\n<i>\u201cI sure do,\u201d <\/i>I responded<i>, \u201cbad dreams are called nightmares [pesadillas].\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>She looked intrigued and asked, \u201c<i>And what\u2019s the purpose of those quesadillas, why do they exist and who made them? Because they\u2019re beastly.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>They\u2019re called \u201cpesadillas,\u201d not \u201cquesadillas.\u201d Quesadillas are good because they have cheese. Pesadillas aren\u2019t good. But why do you ask?\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>I had a really bad dream and I woke up with something like a <\/i><i>stomach ache<\/i><i>, like something wasn\u2019t okay, something was hurting,\u201d<\/i> she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Tell me about it,<\/i>\u201d I encouraged her and lit my pipe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I dreamed we were in the community assembly and as it turns out the situation is really rough because of the bad system. And a lot of people are coming here and asking to stay in the community because other places have become unlivable, and so the people come here because we Zapatistas did in fact prepare.<\/p>\n<p>But the people are coming from other countries, as far away as goodness knows where.<\/p>\n<p>So there isn\u2019t enough food and the community has to make the land produce more, because as Zapatistas we have to support other peoples of the world because we\u2019re, as they say, <i>compa\u00f1erismos<\/i>. So in the assembly they\u2019re looking at how to organize to be able to give food to those brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n<p>So then someone in the assembly says that we have to find more terrain where we can plant.<\/p>\n<p>And then someone else says what about in the pasture where we play soccer, the Petumax flowers are already blooming, like white, but not, sort of gray but not, I think cream-colored or whatever you call that color.<\/p>\n<p>And they say the saw the Chene\u2019k Caribe flower too, which is true because I play with those flowers and pretend they\u2019re little baby chicks.<\/p>\n<p>And that they also saw the \u201cSun\u201d flower which seems like a sunflower, but isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>So then that <i>compa\u00f1ero<\/i> said that means that the soil is good in the pasture, that we can plant corn and beans there. And then I got, as they say, worried because there in the pasture is where the one-eyed horse lives and where we play soccer. Well, we don\u2019t exactly play because we haven\u2019t completed the team yet, but we practice and we train really hard.<\/p>\n<p>So then the authority asks the assembly if there\u2019s agreement that we\u2019ll plant in the pasture and make a <i>milpa <\/i>[corn field] there, and if there\u2019s anyone who disagrees they should say their piece so we can figure out what to do.<\/p>\n<p>So then the whole assembly is silent and nobody asks to speak. And I want to talk to say that we shouldn\u2019t plant in the pasture because then we won\u2019t be able to play, or train that is. But I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to say it, because I can see that we do need food to support those other sisters and brothers.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m really upset because nobody says anything and I don\u2019t have the thinking to convince the assembly, and I can see in the authority\u2019s eye that they\u2019re about to say that if nobody has any other comments, that they\u2019ll approve the proposal to plant in the pasture.<\/p>\n<p>And there I am, looking for a good thought and I can\u2019t find one, and I get mad that I can\u2019t find the right words and with the anger the tears come out, and it\u2019s not that I\u2019m crying, it\u2019s just the anger of not knowing what to say.<\/p>\n<p>And right there I woke up and I came running. And on the way I got even madder because of that stinking bad dream, and who sent it or why they\u2019re doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she\u2019s been talking, \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista\u2019s<\/i>\u201d face is reproducing her pain and desperation.<\/p>\n<p>I remained quiet, but the little girl kept looking at me as if waiting for what I was going to say.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I realized that \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i>\u201d hadn\u2019t come to sit on the [psychiatrist\u2019s] divan, nor just to vent, I was looking for the right words. I understood that the girl hadn\u2019t come just to hide, she was also looking for answers, and me, well I\u2019m the Subcomandante of stainless steel, the one who, according to \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista\u2019s\u201d<\/i> criteria, has the grave defect of being a man. But nobody\u2019s perfect, and besides, I let the Cat-Dog climb up on the keyboard and ruin the texts, and sometimes I have cookies to share (which, for <i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i> means that she and her little animal gobble up all the ones I like and the ones I don\u2019t, too, and they just leave me the empty package), and I tell stories where she and her gang get into mischief and come out triumphant.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m presenting with you all with the, as they say, context, so you understand that the girl had not really come to tell me a bad dream, but rather to present me with a problem.<\/p>\n<p>When I had been looking through the trunk of memories that the deceased SupMarcos left in my custody, I remembered having seen something that could be useful. I gestured to \u201c<i>Zapatista Defense<\/i>\u201d that she should wait and I started looking. Under some drawings that John Berger made when he was in Cideci, I found what I was looking for. The papers were shabby, stained with tobacco and humidity, but the clumsy handwriting of the deceased was still legible.<\/p>\n<p>I picked my pipe back up and lit it. I read almost in silence, only making a few gestures and emitting incomprehensible grunts. The girl watched me in suspense, waiting. The Cat-Dog had left the computer mouse in peace and, its ears perked, remained expectant.<\/p>\n<p>After acting all important for a few minutes, I told her:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>There it is, there\u2019s no problem. I\u2019ve found the solution to your nightmare. It turns out that in this writing by the deceased SupMarcos (may baby Jesus keep him in holy glory and may the dear Virgen fill him with blessings) explains that nightmares are problems and that they can be alleviated if you resolve the problem of the nightmare.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Then he says that dreams are the solution to nightmares.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>That what you have to do is find the solution and then the good dream comes out.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>That way you save a ton of money on psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and antacids. Okay, that\u2019s not related.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>And in this other writing, he says that the problem isn\u2019t just knowing what\u2019s urgent and what\u2019s important.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>What\u2019s urgent is what you have to do right now, and what\u2019s important is, for example, what you know you must do.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>For example, in the case of the bad dream you\u2019re telling me about, what\u2019s urgent is that the compas have to increase food production; and what\u2019s important is not to lose the space where you play.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>In which case it\u2019s a big problem, because if you protect the place to play, well, then they won\u2019t plant there and there will be hunger; and if they plant there, well then there won\u2019t be any more place to play.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i>\u201d nodded, convinced of what I was saying to her. I continued:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>So the deceased says here that that\u2019s called \u2018exclusive options,\u2019 which is to say that you do one thing or the other, but you can\u2019t do both. SupMarcos says that this is almost always false, which is to say that it\u2019s not necessarily one or the other, but rather that something different can be imagined. And he gives the example of the originary peoples, which is to say the indigenous. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>He says: \u2018For example, the originary peoples, going back centuries, have always done two things at the same time: what\u2019s urgent and what\u2019s necessary. What\u2019s urgent is to survive, which is to say to not die, and what\u2019s important is to live. And they resolve this with resistance and rebellion, which is to say that they resist dying and at the same time they create, with their rebellion, another way of living.\u2019 So he says that whenever possible, it\u2019s necessary to think about creating something else.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I put down the papers and I turned to \u201c<i>Zapatista Defense<\/i>\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>So I believe what you can do with the problem of your bad dream is explain to the assembly what\u2019s urgent and what\u2019s important.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Which is to say that both parts have good thought behind them, but if you pick one, well, you\u2019ve screwed the other. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>So explain to the assembly that it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be one thing or the other, but rather that it\u2019s necessary to think of something else, something different but so that both objectives are met.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>And then it\u2019s not that the assembly\u2019s problem is getting resolved nor that your problem is getting resolved, but rather that it\u2019s a different problem altogether. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>And it\u2019s the new problem that you both have to think about, that is, you and the assembly.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The whole time the girl had been sitting quietly with her chin in her little hand, paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to his usual habits, the Cat-Dog had also been still.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Zapatista Defense<\/i>\u201d stayed silent, looking fixedly at the floor.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know much about what happens in the head of a little girl. Of a boy, sure, perhaps because I haven\u2019t matured despite the many kilometers I\u2019ve covered. But girls, whatever their age, continue to be a mystery that perhaps science will one day be able to solve.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, \u201c<i>Zapatista Defense<\/i>\u201d turned to look at the Cat-Dog, and he in turn looked at her.<\/p>\n<p>The mutual glance lasted only a few seconds, and the Cat-Dog began to jump, bark and meow. The girl\u2019s little face lit up and she practically shouted: \u201c<i>Yes, the Cat-Dog!<\/i>\u201d and she began to jump and dance together with the animal.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t just put on my confused face, in fact I didn\u2019t understand what all this was about. But, resigned, I waited for \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i>\u201d and the Cat-Dog to calm down, which didn\u2019t happen for several more minutes that seemed eternal to me. Finally the commotion died down and, still excited, the girl explained:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>It\u2019s the Cat-Dog, Sup! I have to bring the Cat-Dog to my bad dream and I have to bring him to the assembly and he\u2019s going to help me and so then it\u2019ll be a good dream.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The solution to the problem was right here but I hadn\u2019t studied it. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>It\u2019s the Cat-Dog, it\u2019s always been the Cat-Dog.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I think that my \u201c<i>What?!<\/i>\u201d face must have been very obvious, because \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i>\u201d felt obliged to clarify:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Look I\u2019ll explain it to you Sup: the Cat-Dog, is he a cat? No. Is he a dog? Not that either. So then he\u2019s neither one thing nor the other, but rather something else, he\u2019s a Cat-Dog. If I show the Cat-Dog to the assembly, obviously they\u2019re going to see that we have to do something else, so both sides can happily be in mutual agreement.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t understand how the assembly was going to make the, as they say, \u201cepistemological leap\u201d from that thing, that is to say the Cat-Dog, to the disjuncture between the pasture for playing soccer or the pasture for planting. But it seems that \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista<\/i>\u201d wasn\u2019t worried about that.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, on the way to town, I passed by the pasture. Night was already beginning to fall and the sound of those who were scratching at the wall continued. There was still enough light, because \u201c<i>Zapatista Defense<\/i>\u201d was on the field, together with a group in which I recognized the old one-eyed horse that accompanies her sometimes, the Cat-Dog, and Pedrito. There were also two men, one short and one tall, whom I didn\u2019t recognize and I assumed that they were from the Sixth and that the girl was trying to incorporate them into her perpetually incomplete team.<\/p>\n<p>The girl saw me from afar and greeted me with an energetic wave of her hand. I returned the greeting, realizing that \u201c<i>Zapatista Defense<\/i>\u201d had resolved the problem because she laughed and ran from one side to the other, showing the group where they should position themselves in some sort of formation that looked to me to have the shape of a snail.<\/p>\n<p>I continued on my path, remembering the ending to that day of tears, when \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista,<\/i>\u201d then smiling and with her face lit-up, said goodbye: <i>\u201cI\u2019m leaving now Sup, I\u2019ve got to go.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>And what are you going to do?<\/i>\u201d I asked her.<\/p>\n<p>She was already gaining distance when she shouted: \u201c<i>I\u2019m going to dream<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While I waited for the <i>compa\u00f1eros<\/i> and <i>compa\u00f1eras<\/i> to whom I had to give a talk, the night arrived with its own steps and sounds.<\/p>\n<p>I thought then that perhaps the deceased SupMarcos would have liked to have been present for \u201c<i>Defensa Zapatista\u2019s<\/i>\u201d dream to know how she made her argument and what the decision of the assembly was. Or perhaps he was in fact there. Because, at least in these lands, the dead walk around. They laugh and cry with us, they struggle with us, they live with us.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">From the CIDCI-Unitierra, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">SupGaleano.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mexico, January 2017.<\/p>\n<div id=\"sdendnote1\">\n<p align=\"left\"><a class=\"sdendnotesym\" href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2017\/02\/22\/whats-next-ii-the-urgent-and-the-important\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EnlaceZapatista+%28Enlace+Zapatista%29#sdendnote1anc\" name=\"sdendnote1sym\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p align=\"left\"><a class=\"sdendnotesym\" href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2017\/02\/22\/whats-next-ii-the-urgent-and-the-important\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EnlaceZapatista+%28Enlace+Zapatista%29#sdendnote1anc\" name=\"sdendnote1sym\">[i] <\/a>Hendrik Johannes \u201cJohan\u201d Cruijff, a Dutch professional soccer player and coach famous for promoting the philosophy known as \u201cTotal Football.\u201d https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Johan_Cruyff<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[:es] Escucha en audio: [podcast]https:\/\/radiozapatista.org\/Audios\/dia7_ponenciagaleano.mp3[\/podcast] Cobertura completa del encuentro L@s Zapatistas y las ConCIENCIAS por la Humanidad aqu\u00ed. \u00bfQu\u00e9 sigue?
