Mechanism Quotes - Page 3

• Cuando se desarrolló la anestesia, durante muchas décadas se negó sistemáticamente a las mujeres que daban a luz, ya que se "suponía" que las mujeres debían sufrir. Una de las pocas sociedades que adoptó una postura contraria fue la tribu huichol de México. Los huicholes creían que el dolor del parto debía compartirse, así que la madre se agarraba a un cordel atado a los testículos de su marido. Con cada contracción dolorosa, ella daba un tirón al cordel para que el hombre compartiera la carga. Seguramente, si este mecanismo estuviera más extendido, las lesiones en el parto recibirían más atención.

• Por un momento todo estuvo claro, y cuando eso ocurre ves que el mundo apenas existe. ¿No lo sabemos todos en secreto? Es un mecanismo perfectamente equilibrado de gritos y ecos que fingen ser ruedas y engranajes, un reloj de ensueño que da las campanadas bajo un cristal misterioso al que llamamos vida. ¿Detrás? ¿Debajo y alrededor? Caos, tormentas. Hombres con martillos, hombres con cuchillos, hombres con pistolas. Mujeres que retuercen lo que no pueden dominar y menosprecian lo que no pueden comprender. Un universo de horror y pérdida que rodea un único escenario iluminado donde los mortales bailan desafiando a la oscuridad.

• Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole "things happening for a reason" drill.

• Si se le considera demente, entonces todas las acciones que de otro modo demostrarían que no lo está, en realidad entran en el marco de las acciones de una persona demente. Sus protestas sonoras constituyen negación. Sus temores válidos se consideran paranoia. Tus instintos de supervivencia son etiquetados como mecanismos de defensa. Es una situación sin salida. En realidad, es una pena de muerte.

• Had it taken her this long to discover that she lacked some simple mental trick that everyone else had, a mechanism so ordinary that no one ever mentioned it, an immediate sensual connection to people and events, and to her own needs and desires? All these years she had lived in isolation within herself and, strangely, from herself, never wanting or daring to look back.

• When you plant a fertile meme in my mind you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the meme's propagation in just the way that a virus may parasitize the genetic mechanism of a host cell.

• Así que no hago ningún esfuerzo por ocultar mi dolor. Nunca lo expongo así, pero hoy y el resto de los días del juicio, debo hacerlo. Cada uno de mis respingos, cada parpadeo de dolor, se magnificará cien veces, y luego será analizado por los expertos y los tertulianos. Pero me dicen que es necesario; el mundo necesita verme vulnerable y herida. No puedo aparentar que no me importa o que no tengo remordimientos, pero eso elimina un componente crucial de mi mecanismo de autodefensa y me deja sangrando para que todo el mundo lo vea. Supongo que esa es más bien la cuestión.

• De todos los sistemas del cuerpo - neurológico, cognitivo, especial, sensorial - el sistema cardiológico es el más sensible y el que se altera con más facilidad. El papel de la sociedad debe ser proteger estos sistemas de la infección y la putrefacción, pues de lo contrario está en juego el futuro de la raza humana. Al igual que una fruta de verano que está protegida de la invasión de insectos, magulladuras y podredumbre por todo el mecanismo de la agricultura moderna; así debemos proteger el corazón.

• I am living in the Google years, no question of that. And there are advantages to it. When you forget something, you can whip out your iPhone and go to Google. The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it? By handling the obligations of the search mechanism, you almost prove you can keep up.... You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which case you can retrieve an inaccurate version of it).

• Desarrollé un mecanismo que me permitía recuperarme de cualquier error que cometiera. Pasara lo que pasara fuera del campo, podía dejarlo a un lado y mantener la forma. Llámalo resiliencia mental o mente fuerte, pero eso es lo que queremos decir cuando hablamos de experiencia en un equipo de fútbol.

• Commerce, trade and exchange make other people more valuable alive than dead, and mean that people try to anticipate what the other guy needs and wants. It engages the mechanisms of reciprocal altruism, as the evolutionary biologists call it, as opposed to raw dominance.

• I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

• I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No.
