Two great guys were born on this day ... Rene Descartes (I think therfore I am) and Bragg (son, not the father)...
Apart from the normal wizards, there is someone really special who was born on this day ...Octavio Paz... A legend, sadly he is not really well known outside the circle
Consider his quote "What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life"”
Such an awesome quote, talking about the diversities and about how culture is becoming more and more unified and yet there is that tingling something is not right about Globalization. Yet all that material satisfaction makes us crave for more ... such picture perfect wording ... he is awesome ...
