1. ¿Por qué lees clásicos y con qué frecuencia?
Tengo muchas razones para leer clásicos. De hecho, escribí un post titulado 10 motivos para leer clásicos en el blog. Pero si me tuviera que decantar por uno sin duda sería el de la supervivencia. Que una obra la respalde una campaña de marketing abusiva me genera mucha cierta desconfianza. Prefiero que sean los años los que den su lugar a los libros.
Sé, por otro lado, que me puedo perder joyas de la literatura contemporánea. Pero dentro de mi ansia, lidio mejor con perderme algo actual que con algún clásico que tenga muchas ganas de leer.
En cuanto a la frecuencia se podría decir que el 80% de mi tiempo de lectura está dedicada a clásicos. Eligiendo muy bien (o intentándolo al menos) ese 20% de contemporánea, que intercalo en lecturas más densas.

The Psychology Of Forgiveness
9 de Maio de 2017, 12:57
I have a norm that helps me evaluate a decision to forgive a wrong or not. Perhaps this is partly because I believe in limited free will in the context that not every of one’s actions is architected by him. I find it quite logically persuasive.
I invite you to a thought experiment. Imagine we have a machine that makes bananas and its performance is dependant on two generalizations: the system and the operator. Our task is to evaluate which errors we can blame on the operator and which ones on the machine. How best can we do this?
Firstly, if the machine frequently produces apples instead of bananas then we have reason to believe that there is something wrong with the machine itself. The reason is that, unlike a machine, an operator’s errors do not appear in patterns or that frequently. This is the equivalence of Systematic Error in…
