Beyond pragmatism

In physics there is no more cause and effect reasoning, the pure mechanism still present in the contemporary world, even among scholars.
For example, about ten years ago, James Crutchfield and John Mahoney (University of California at Davis) have mathematically demonstrated that many sequences of statistical data have “embedded” an arrow of time.
An observer who sees the data reproduced from beginning to end, like the frames of a movie, can model what will come next using a modest amount of memory about what happened before.
In quantum mechanics the distinction between waves and particles no longer exists. This unified physics, clarified phenomena, but did not change the way of thinking, as this depends on the culture.
Micro bodies that are normally seen as particles, such as electrons, can behave like waves in certain situations, while objects we normally think of as waves, such as light, which are now seen to behave like particles.
Tracking in food production

The IoT arrived abruptly in agriculture, had already arrived at some time in the cattle ranch with the tracking of each head of cattle 
individually, now the “suply chain”, technical name for the monitoring of the production chain arrived on time, in the field and agroindustry.
Anvisa (Brazilian National Sanitary Surveillance Agency) and the Ministry of Agriculture begin to oblige the producer to have a more strict control over the use of pesticides, which implies monitoring and tracking throughout the production line starting at the field, but the problems are enormous for the application of the Law.
The automated tracking and tracing system, if properly implemented and well implemented, will provide all key elements and production details throughout the supply chain, enabling manufacturers to better respond to customer demands and food control in a competitive market internationally, those producers who do not fit can lose valuable contracts.
Fresh vegetable products, or their wrappings, cartons, bags and other packaging must now be duly identified in order to allow access by the competent authorities to the records containing the required information.
The identification can be done by means of labels printed with alphanumeric characters, bar code, QR Code, or any other system that allows to identify fresh vegetable products in a unique and unequivocal way.
The traceability of the INC will be monitored by the health surveillance services and the Ministry of Agriculture.
The mystic Dali is little known

Salvador Dalí’s painting Christus Hypercubus, of 1954, created the fourth dimension of understanding in
painting the fourth dimension and the quantum universe.
The mystical idea of Salvador Dalí described in the picture Christus Hypercubus was already present when in 1951 he had already written the Mystical Manifesto, in this picture Jesus Christ appears hovering over the space ahead of a Cross in the fourth dimension, there are no nails, with a woman in front of the cross, whose model would have been Dali’s wife.
Cubists like Pablo Picasso had attempted to paint four-dimensional forms on two-dimensional canvases, the theories of mathematicians Bernhard Riemann and Henri Poincaré that came out of the conventional forms of straight lines and planes, and were their inspirations, but Dali went further in his early descriptions of his painting he called them painting “metaphysical and transcendent cubism”.
But he did not fail to make references to the thirteenth-century architect Juan de Herrera and to the Ars Magna treatise of the 16th-century Catalan philosopher and alchemist Raymond Lull.
Dali will explore theories of theoretical physics until his death in 1989, proving this was the contact maintained for years with the mathematician Thomas Branchoff of Brown University, and despite the initial refusal in 1975, it ended up becoming a long collaboration of almost one of each.
According to Banchoff: “Lull was a Catalan who studied two dimensions, two centuries later, Herrera took it to the third dimension. Here’s Dalí in a straight line, taking it to the fourth dimension, “Banchoff said, adding,” they were not thinking of it as a four-dimensional cube unfolded – it came a century or two later. ”
But the Hypercube or Tesseractus actually had the intention of painting the fourth dimension, and Dali wrote in his Anti-matter Manifesto in 1958: “In the surrealist period I wanted to create the iconography of the inner world and the wonderful world of my father Freud … Today, the outside world and that of physics have transcended the world of psychology. My father today is dr. Heisenberg “referring to the creator of the first concepts of quantum physics”.
Because we walk tired it seems like a general theme

One of these small books that we read and discover incredible things, was the book of Kazuo Ishiguro, Nobel Prize for Literature in 2017, his booklet My Night in the Twentieth Century.
His speech at the Swedish Academy on receiving the award tells of his childhood in a district of England, his early works, the discovery of Marcel Proust, no doubt an influence on his novels, but something caught my attention, consider himself a tired writer.
He had already read in The Bournot Society of Byung-Chul Han’s exhaustion contemporary diseases such as depression, hyperactivity, Bournout Syndrome, anxiety and others that appear to be the landscape at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Chul Han’s recipes are to try to regain the contemplative vitta, Edgar Morin will talk about conviviality and educate for life, but the bottom line is where this fatigue comes from.
The easy answer is technology and life runs from day to day, but the first is an easy answer to what has been going on for 20 years at most and the problem is earlier, the second is simplistic, perhaps for the early man In the last century, everyday life was rampant and convivial. In post-war Japan people took stress in electronic machines and the rhythm was not a shadow of what it is today.
At last it seems that there is a problem really in the background, and this is linked to human existence, we could be happy thinking about the future life after death, this is not enough today, we could be happy thinking about a good marriage and a good salary, this today is little , something else is missing.
Philosophy called this existential-ontological problem, religion and a part of the thinkers called the “secular” Nietzsche called nihilism, and before him Kiegaard asked why there is everything and not nothing, or ask about what is evil.
Kieekegaard wrote in his book Human Despair, see that this is from the nineteenth century, more precisely in 1849 under the pseudonym Anti-Climacus, where he states that the origin of despair lies in the imagination, where man can create a fantasy relationship with himself , and in my modest interpretation, precisely in the society that wanted to remove from the scene the imaginary, the fantasy and the beliefs, according to the Enlightenment all in the field of “superstition”.
Nietzsche would agree with the post-Manichean Augustine of Hippona in saying “what is done out of love is always beyond good and evil,” and, therefore, more than art, contemplation, and life itself, is Love that can give meaning to everything, and for this we need to have “soul”.
It is not something fundamentalist or purely religious, but it means recognizing that beyond the objective, the human, and the concrete, we need some deep meaning for life, and this must undoubtedly be somehow linked to an impossible concrete as anything that is intended to be objective: Love gives meaning to life.
