Preparing the environment, installing j2se, j2ee, collaxa, bpelz and cygwin, I am getting ready for a more structured division of my days. This improved efficiency will already be a blessing. I look forward to devote part of my time to bioinformatics again, a field of knowledge which is both inspiring in a philosophical and social political level, and a fundament of my socio-economic independence, which is a requirement for intellectual independence.

Birmarck’s Realpolitik is so identical to the ‘might makes right’ attitude of the hawks in the Bush government, to the extent that it contains the same hybris overlooking the fundamental fault of the Bismarckan attitude: the long term interests of the state do not correspond, and sometimes linea recta oppose the short term interests of the state.
