According to the ?teacher? the Darwins the species are complied to the way atmosphere so that the adaptations - morphologic, physiological and (surely) emotional they are simple consequences of a strictly vital impulse. Later Konrad Lorenz (medicine Nobel prize 1973) raised the conservation of the genetic patrimony - specially animal, from altruistic and aggressive manifestations like intuitive mechanisms for the biological permanence. The entropic triggers, on the other hand, are instruments that allow a relation, sufficiently harmonic, like containing and to each other administering to the balance of individuals and populations (animals and vegetables). The man, at the end of the evolution, with his terrible one to be able intelligent, was the unique one between all the alive beings able to deceive, to a great extent, these verdicts. The prolongation of the life expectancy, the diminution of the rates of mortality, the increase of the fertility and natality, the progress against the diseases is prodigious benefits. Admirable from the ethical thing. Nevertheless, contracara of this enormous filantrópico advance exists one. In effect, with chronological speed of exponential type the physical space was superpopulated, to the time that unfolded the worse process of degradation of the nature. The modification of the natural areas, the deforestation, the ground degradation, the exhaustion of the fresh water, the excessive urbanization, the contamination of environment, was some of by-products nonwished, consequence of the vortex used in name of the progress. They are due to add, by its protagonism in the design of the present world, the cultural components. This way the political cannibalisms, the economic impacts, the dogmatic pressures, the sectorial frames, guaridas of the knowledge and the pragmatic simplifications more and more faced the pacts, agreements, norms and laws, were colonizing the human scene.

The man was recolector hunter during millenia. With concerted effort, after domesticating the first rumiantes, he transformed himself into nomadic shepherd. But ahead he acquired the sedentary habit and, finally, when he could dominate the Earth, that is to say, the multiplication of wealth, caused the agricultural revolution. This monumental landmark of the humanity imprimió in the future codes nothing else and nothing less than the property, the monogámica family, the ability in the cultures, the excesses, saving and commerce, and the protection of its goods through the tercerización of the security. They were six or seven thousand years during which the model was hegemonic. The modifications adjusted based on smooth maturations in doctrinarios, legal, legal, and technological terms.

Suddenly the industrial revolution exploded and into single two hundred years it transformed the uses, customs and until the geographic landscape. The occupational urbanization, uprooting, routines, the familiar rolls, the feeding, the economic development, industrialization and the environmental aggression were some of the chapters that shook modorra traditional and promoted a trip without possible return. The currents of the modern thought, the debates based on economic-political principles and the polarizations, were the theoretical frame that, transferred to the terrenal reality, meant efforts, confrontations, wars, alienations, corporativismos, masificación, displeasure and descreimiento. In similar eddy Adam Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, Marx, the Keyneses and recently Dennis L. Meadows, among others, was simple anecdotarios, that described the phenomenon of the time, and illuminated - the sovereign later mess theoretically.

In the last decades - to the minus in the developed world the industrial prototype began its inexorable process of decontamination. The new rules, tie to the knowledge, are giving origin to the third great revolution: the tecnotrónica. Again the impact, sequel of recent slogans, this trastocando the customs. As the transformation is never based on the intellectual talent. The man - in the practice it depends on a process luck continuous and recurrent neon-hegeliano of antithesis and synthesis. The erudite properties dominate and - to its time they are dominated by consumable fiction. The futures and the options, questions - these invaders of territories reserved at other times to the concrete and concrete goods, are paradigms. Nevertheless these modern virtual fables are transformed into material successes of avasallantes characteristics. The robotics and computer science, by their side, collaborate to a great extent with the present drama of unemployment. The breaches are more and more ferocious: rich and poor countries; powerful and weak individuals; healthy and ill; obese and undernourished; wise people and ignorantes. It will be possible to be argued that differences always had. But the applied cruelty is of such caliber, that it can solely be expressed based on the competition and its contemporary exageraciones. A sign of the present times is the antrópica dicotomía: the wonderful cybernetic, scientific and cultural advance - with levels of precision, aesthetic utility and matchless, resisted to that species of anthropological, already inocultable regression. This last reality - lumpenización- is observed with absolute clarity in the structural conducts of the excluded ones. The dependencies, the cultural degradation, the perversions and the violences are aberrant symptoms of a collective process with allegories - tribal and essentially sectarian. The possible world - without embargo, that that can evolve, and that fenotípicamente enjoys good health, that is to say, the one of the new comforts, also is affected in the supposed harmony. The effective rivalries and individualismos stimulate shared in common and quite impiadosos isolated behaviors, almost egoistic, for nothing, humanistic speaking. Entiéndase well, although the ideologized ones, this take offense does not happen of the classic fight of classes, but that happens in the own scope of economic, cultural and social pairs.

During the last century the technological changes delayed decades in modifying principles and methodologies. The experts could calmly finalize their days with he himself volume acquired in the training stage. They count those that know that at the beginning of 1990 the volume of knowledge duplicated every four years. This was translated in a significant effort in all those operators of technology with use pretensions. For example, the engineer who during the period of duplication did not try the corresponding update, could mutar, soon after, in laborer of patio with hung academic diploma of some wall of his house. By the end of the '90 the time interval during which the volume of knowledge bent reduced to two years. They assure the pronosticadores that the 2005 knowledge stops the year will be duplicated annually. The doctor - a supposition that it tries to maintain his supply updated, will have to study during eight hours daily, other eight will exert the profession and the eight rest - that less! - it will dedicate them to buy a pair of socks, to speak with somebody, to take a bath, to have supper and to rest. If it can.

The modern system - this of the technological abundance, beyond the product, it has remainders. Such they are all those material and theoretical, ready objects to reject. The showy thing of this accumulation is the magnitude of the phenomenon. At some time the technological sweepings will finish developing a so abstract organization, that to metabolizar logically the dilemma there will be silogismos no available. The disquieting thing of the subject is that, suddenly, the intellectual and physical context, lets have constants. It is more, the truth of today faith can be the deceit the morning. Who are not prepared emotional and to physically modify schemes, aptitudes and conducts, whenever the circumstances demand it, can be in the worse one of the ostracisms, without space to be nor opportunity to continue.

In synthesis, medular of the agricultural time was the family and the event the property; in the industrialist the added groupings and values, respectively. However the technological era is characterized by the individualismo, the instability, the insecurity, the competition and - finally the efimeridad. A true pity. At some time of history it seemed that there was like reasonable orderings for a future better. It must be one of the so many imaginations that, by excess of optimism, finish caratuladas like absurd.
