No Brasil você é empurrado para baixo | Olavo de Carvalho

Therefore, the fact that many of you are there within this depressing compressive environment, you have no incentive to study, on the contrary, you are increasingly pushed down, down, down, down, Is there any advantage in this, you can develop a resistance that an average European American student There is no such thing and that Brazilian transplanted here as a youth loses in the first month. I see those Brazilians who 20 or 30 or 40 years ago had a rich and generous Father who sent them to study abroad Hmm, where is the wonderful intellectual production of these people? zero why Because the individual leaves this slum called Brazil and comes here to the United States or goes to Germany or goes to England and he finds a decent academic intellectual environment organized and tidy, he is dazzled by it and he integrates into that business and it is extremely comfortable It turns out that everything he will learn there does not answer anything to Brazilian existential questions, so he forgets them, he buys other problems that are problems characteristic of this environment here, American or English or Italian, whatever, right, and he adapts to that environment, develops an academic activity, but acceptable by the standards of the place and that's all, he can even later return to Brazil carrying his PHD title under his belt, getting a job at a Mediocre University, right, yesterday he will have a reputation as a genius like Roberto Mangabeira Hunger, who is a beast square h I say Roberto mangab in matters of thought he is semi-literate he didn't understand anything at all about any political subject he addressed um to begin with let's say the only book of his that has any contact with reality is the first one that calls knowledge and politics and even so, he wasn't intelligent enough to understand the difference between, let's say, liberal ideology and the capitalist economic regime, I think they're the same thing, I mean, the guy doesn't distinguish between ideas and facts, I mean, he's doing an analysis by liberal authors he applies the conclusions to capitalism as such I said wait a minute but there is an abyss of difference you don't know the difference between idea and reality and what he's trying to teach so you see that the grotesque fate of this guy in Brazil It was entirely deserved, right?

I mean , he starts proclaiming that this is the most corrupt government in the history of Brazil and the next day he accepts a position saying Oh, it was unfair, it wasn't quite like that. Just at the time when he had all the evidence from the month, he found out that the government wasn't as corrupt as he had said, right? That means, of course he's a circus character, right?

So that's the most you can get. desert, right, desert, at least nothing happens, but then something happens that only takes you backwards, right, you have no incentive to study, on the contrary, you are increasingly pushed down, down, down, down. Is there any advantage in this, you can develop resistance?

that an average European American student does not have and that the Brazilian transplanted here in Youth loses in the first month. In this sense, I think you should study the lives of those Brazilians who produced some of the most worthy products of our high culture and who were the all my life victims of this compressive environment one of these er Lima Barreto When you saw the life of Lima Barreto I say but that is just contempt isolation, right It's discrimination boycott lack of chance and yet he wrote the books that were much better than everything that your your your contemporaries were doing because I say to study these things because in a way this your life this is what is going to happen for you and fighting against it and trying to preserve say your concentration and high goals in the midst of this will make you very well it will do much better than you having a scholarship to Oxford See by the fact that you live in Brazil you are having access to some of the most depressing and terrific experiences that a human being can go through with regards to their spiritual development alone that these possibilities that exist in Brazil they are slowly spreading around the world you see certain symptoms of extreme degradation that before you only saw in Brazil appear here in the United States in England It only happens that Americans and English people are totally defenseless in the face of these things 100% defenseless precisely because they were accustomed to another level, you understand high culture education, etc. , etc.

, even domestic education, so there are certain manifestations of human degradation that are invisible to a European American . Lula's story with the goats and with his personal cellmate who he says raped the Americans didn't understand at the first moments Hum because here the most that happened was Bill Clinton with Mônica levinski hum now Cabritas, my donkey son, it's obvious any a person who has a relationship with the Donkey or the goat, even in childhood, will immediately undergo psychiatric treatment, the family will be alarmed, they will say This boy is crazy Hmm And when Lula gave that interview, he said, Oh, how good we used to have more Freedom we could eat Goats and donkeys so he is, let's say proclaiming that in a certain area of ​​Brazil at least it means madness symptom PS the pathological was admitted as normal that there is no way you can get it into the head of a European from America he he will never understand this, the day he understands this he will have been demoted he will have admitted this hypothesis, right now if you admit having relations with donkeys and Goats as a reliable hypothesis, why don't you rape a human being, uh, it's already a upgrade is look at the guy who ate Cabritas now he's eating people it's not an upgrade he's closer to normality than he was before so life in a condition of extreme intellectual spiritual misery can nurture in you a certain independence from the environment than in another environment you wouldn't be able to do it here, he's kind, he treats you well, he gives you a chance, no one is boycotting you, they let you go forward, they even support you even if they don't like what you're saying, they'll push you forward, they'll only boycott you in extreme cases, obviously. right That also exists but it is not the norm it is not the rule So you easily adapt to the environment and if you adapt to the environment you become as defenseless as the other participants in the same environment, this means that if you take a guy trained here in the United States orx sorbon send it to Brazil it will degrade to a point that you cannot imagine, you see in the case of Pierre Verg, an anthropologist trained in France, arrived in Brazil, he was enchanted by the candombl business and then wrote that book on the use of plants in cultured oruma where he describes rituals for you to kill your opponent so that you can make your enemy's penis fall off and other similar things Hmm, that's what happened to this boy who had an agura check on his slow body and he describes it without realizing it right, it has degraded far below what you could have imagined at the beginning, I mean, how will you think, let's say that a religion that normally practices rites for this?

Huh, but to say, it's a religion like any other, right? It's something F, we have to accept this in cultural diversity and we should even practice this no because if you admit that that ritual has an efficacy um and you practice it So you are obviously a murderer if the rite has a material efficacy it effectively kills the person if you can prove that it has this effectiveness then and you practice So you are a murderer and if you are not effective at all then you are fooling everyone you are boring I mean no there is no third alternative and the guy writes this and he integrates into Brazilian culture and goes to the hole n it descends to the last level of degradation conceivable Um you go like when Bruno Tolentino arrived in Brazil Um I had the greatest hopes for donal BR Um but he couldn't resist the confusion in the middle of it he sank even he was destroyed by the aids um It's no joke, that means how long does it take for you to form a Bruno toletin, right? 30 40 years, Bruno had the best possible training and the best possible company, I consider, let's say that the circle of friends with qualified people is even more important than academic training, what Bruno learned, right, he learned from coexistence with the great poets great critics of the time, much more than any university course, it's just his friendship with is nen who, 30 years of friendship, was the greatest live poet in England, you talk to the guy every day, but something has to be learned, so if you thought about human investment, for you to create a Bruno Tolentino is huge but he could survive well and produce well in the European environment if you think carefully about Brazil what he produced nothing Practically everything he published he was ready in Europe he just did a little tweaking at the end of an edition published everything he wrote in Brazil it was nothing close to what was already written Brazil was Bruno He returned to Brazil to die and take note Bruno is an amazing genius now you have to think what I want to do I have a mission towards this country because I see that it is degrading below what we can expect and we have to create something better for the next generation This is our mission or on the contrary I'm just feeling uncomfortable here I want something better for me if this is really your problem then you are really out of intellectual life because you are judging your life the life you want to achieve is just a life of comfort not fulfillment um Of course comfort is preferred to discomfort ISO I don't argue, however, there is the criterion of hierarchy, criterion of importance, um, from the moment you understand that there is a vocation along with it, a certain mission, fulfilling this mission has to be the criterion for judging everything that favors the mission, is good and the That which is disadvantageous is bad, extreme poverty can be disadvantageous, but comfort and well-being can also be disadvantageous, but all of this is very relative.
