"We're living through a transformation in how power works. Grassroots civic engagement [..] is eroding not just because of political polarization, but because the systems that used to amplify individual voices are being replaced by algorithms that consolidate power in fewer hands. The social media business model is fundamentally incompatible with a healthy civil society – it welcomes bots, promotes extremism, and spreads disinformation precisely because those things maximize engagement. You're not just fighting bad policy; you're fighting a system designed to maximize division for profit."

-- Ian Bremmer ("A Citizen's Guide to Civic Resistance")

Vejo o universo sambando quando olho pro céu flutuar

Algo em mim tá sempre diferente, ou ao menos, disposto a mudar

Fecho os olhos e pergunto pra mim mesmo: Afinal, o que é que eu quero?

Respondo que é viver sem medo de errar

Efeito gravidade zero

Mil ideias orbitando a mente breve, leve... Deixo estar

Eu convoco o meu receio a sair da nave e me deixar voar

Tenho permissão para disconectar, olhar para dentro e ser sincero

Um segundo em suspensão, só levitar. Efeito gravidade zero

Olho para baixo tudo tão pequeno, Terra

Complicado azul, distante dá pra ver a guerra

Ninguém usa o amor na linha de combate

Falta criatividade

Astronauta artista segue outro cometa para desvendar a tal da relatividade

Respiro, paro, olha só para esse planeta que mora em nós

Que mora em nós...

Vejo o universo sambando quando olho pro céu flutuar

Algo em mim tá sempre diferente ou ao menos disposto a mudar

Já aprendi que tudo bem se nada do que imaginei sair como eu espero

Eu recomeço escolhendo uma outra estrela...

Efeito gravidade zero................

Graphic Truth: The 50 Countries (Worth) of America

If the state of California were an independent country, it would have the fifth largest economy in the world, according to a fascinating report by The Economist that looks at both that state and Texas as the harbingers of two alternative futures for the United States. That got us thinking – how do the economies of the individual US states stack up against other countries? California's economy is about the size of the United Kingdom's, while Texas's matches up with Canada's. Who's on par with Sri Lanka or the Czech Republic? Our map's got 'em all.
