the laws throughout our life
we have heard that phrase many times
so famous of God is Argentinian but
attends in Buenos Aires and generally
it’s not very logical, not because behind
of that phrase is what we think about
what we are
on the one hand a unique elected people
we are special are very different
Argentines to the point that God
choose to be Argentine and for another
part of our way of organizing
centralist
everything goes through Buenos Aires everything is
organized from Buenos Aires and we
we live, we are aware of what is happening
to the point that any artist who
He triumphs in Buenos Aires when he returns to
his hometown begins to fill the
theaters that before I know nothing
this usually does not close the point of
view of centralism is something very
evident above all those who live in
we see the provinces and we have
suffered sometimes but what are we so
perfect that we are that people
chosen is a little harder to
check ourselves along
our lives emotion
we have observed different crises
economic social policies always
and if we went a little more to Argentina
it starts being one of the ten countries
most important in the world in the century
20 and ends up being a country with
high rates of their developments to this
talk what you are looking for is that we see a
little like that with what we are a country
that is not so perfect and a people that
it’s not as perfect as we want it
It took me a lot to start looking at another
way and I want to show you what the
travel he made through
experiences through different
texts the first time I started to
look at us differently or differently from a
text that came to my hands of ortega and
gasset protect and do for me is
that moment in a house
I really did not have
it degenerates but it was a philosopher
Spanish that we loved the team
came the Argentine was fascinated him
loved how we were he loved the
country lived on three occasions and the
last one stayed to live a while and
as they did not want more critical so that
let’s improve he said the Argentines
we were like the pampas because as the
panga because observing the landscape in a
trip he made by train from good
Aires to Mendoza realized that
pampas we could not see the end that is to the
observe the era a promise is a
promise where massa had something good
there was something fertile and the Argentines
we should always in that future in that
promise that we never arrived
we are always waiting for the country
improve or not
basically ortega do he told us that and
He asked us to look a little on the
present because we lived in the future
that never came and we did not lend
nothing attention then god said a
phrase that you must have also heard
much that is Argentines to things
yes yes today ortega and gasset even
I would have a twitter will surely go today
has posted and had people who did
they supported as victory or field
yes but most rejected it because
He put the mirror in front and we did not like it
what we saw ortega is based on the year
42 from Buenos Aires and never returns
more to Argentina but a few years
before he visits us in 1925
nothing more and nothing less than albert
einstein and stein who was a person who
was responsible for giving answers is going with
a great unknown of our country does not
can understand how the argentina
it worked
basically is the question asked
and why can not he understand how
nothing works because the guy says in
this country nobody respects the rules
nobody respects the laws the rules
anyone violate it is a mess
he said he could not understand how we were
a power still at that time was
so disastrous everything
the answer to this some people look for it in
a political party or look for it in a
political in particular but the reality
is that those parties are politicians
or whatever it is they are a manifestation of
ourselves
I only realized through another
man who changes after a text in
reality that was called rosemary joseph
luis romero
the historian who wrote a lot about
the average age because he does not want to have
problems with Argentines ever
Argentine but at one time he wrote
a very good book about us and
explains why Argentines do not
we could comply with the rules is
our base when the
Spanish to America
we all know what happened with the
aborigines but little we know that there was
laws to protect us that came to
america but goals were not met
on the part of King Charles fifth yes that
had the Spaniards to take care of them
feed them to aboriginal groups
who were in charge of these laws did not
they served because they go against their
interests
then they took out a legal contraption was
it is obeyed but it is not fulfilled is to say this
it’s fine I only understand but it’s
impracticable in america in spain
you know what our reality is
then they discarded it and the rest of the
history we already know all
another one of the issues that only in
where this was seen was also the
contraband at that time
we could only buy any
thing Spain and only two came
ships per year america bringing what
we had asked then if I
I wanted a piano I did not have to order
and had to wait approximately
five years and if the ship sank
osorno memorian media fell into the hands of
pirates had the piano but also
she did not enter by buenos aires
for Peru because Buenos Aires was a
port that could not trade what was
what happened to start smuggling
the authorities knew that there was
contraband because a ship was evident
English in the middle of the harbor and they did not
nothing is more they violated the law and were to
Please then explains that the rosemary
Argentines grew up naturalizing the
violation of the law of the rules no
respect them from the beginning even
when we were not Argentineans many
years later Darwin visited us in 1833
and note that not only that had
happened was the name that is fixed
obviously in the evolution of those of
men do not realize that in addition
of not complying with the law
the Argentines what we did was
defend the offender they helped him
to escape from there to help
escape
if you that’s what I think
would postpone today darwin was terrified him
it seemed terrible and there we see that this
which is one of the great
contradictions that we have because in
reality to what today with this talk is
see our contradictions until the
contradiction that we want God
and we are not
obviously one of the great
contradictions is that we
we expect politicians to act
well that they respect us we march
so that our rights are fulfilled
but all the time we are violating
rules and all the time we are violating
laws even when I did not know how to handle
he easily realizes because he does not
you just have to pay attention to not
they did something bad but all the
there are people who are violating the
traffic laws then I go
driving brakes and put the beacon on
middle of the street I do not think that has
passed all not and one has to
dodge all this
it is justified and there are many
opportunities already seems the liveliness
criolla sa
if we get things by the
we are doing well
we take off and the rest instead of saying what
bad applauds is a live what I
passed reading a memory of 1777 is that
I saw it
it turns out that many years ago some
you will know there was a project for
end with the malones the time in the
war to the sun was avellaneda era
president avellaneda had a minister
of war that was called alcina and thus to
say and make a positive well go from
buenos aires a kind of pit
trench to see from Buenos Aires to
mendoza to avoid that if the
advanced aborigines when they came back with
the cattle with what they steal not
could happen we all know that that’s not
happened because he said he dies after rocks
in the desert campaign and what
solves in another way but the manager
to make that pit will be albert edenor
and order the other was an engineer
French that left those memories so
rich above us is what there is
us what he called the
Attention was that they celebrated doing
bad things
that is, it was contracted in each town to
who were going to make the pit hello the
ditch and they tried to rob the state or
heart of prices were these
things and the rest I celebrated it said
that they were alive and if they did not
were some sonos puts in his memory he
he says he translates it by telling the
French that means imbecile
You can not not think I understand not
I would have put something like that because he left
pretty bad about this country very very
sad and when we observe all this not
perfectly closes that the kingfisher
Iron is our main example
because the iron martyr was
thief was murderer was out of the
law did not want to work
borges what note says that if we
we would have taken the facundo instead
of al martín fierro as the example
perfect nationality
another would be our story
why because sarmiento gives it a name
to what we are for the first time through
of his phrases civilization and barbarism
the same branch was civilization and
barbarism and sought to change these
contradictions that we have through
The education
if he names this series of
values and values that are opposed
all the time with us and not
they are only in our history or
in other attitudes are in our
language
we have phrases like I laugh
so as not to cry that they do not exist in another
part of the world
we started if we want to order something
positively we start with a no no
would have such a thing if we insult but of
affectionate way we use insults that are
loving sometimes they are not either
present in other towns
someone who is very good we tell him
it is a beast an animal if also
we are barbarians as something positive and the
word is totally negative and so
those contradictions are also seen in
what we expect
for example in education we
we expect a first class education but
when someone tells us that he is going to
study and that is dedicated to teaching
When I said that, I said that I wanted to be
teacher looked at me and told me
18 years but you give for more
I think that all those who have dedicated themselves to
teaching once they have told you or
we all have that with that idea that the
What he teaches is because he has no other
it does not give you anything else
while the teachers are the
next teachers but also
are the next doctors the
next engineers behind each
teacher to the future is the concept
that we have of education is
totally contradictory what
we look forward to education and although
we believe that we are god is true although
we have that idea that they are perfect g
for me it was breaking little by little
from and reflecting on this
we need for the time they tell us
if you are good
then the question that is asked
always to anyone who came to
Argentina is the faith that believes
argentina we hope you tell us what
good is fantastic Argentina or all
what can be or when something happens in
Argentina
we automatically search for the news
as reflected in the newspapers of
world
I do it I remember it’s closed decent
and Berga from Spain because they had a
great section for news
international because I was interested in seeing
what they said about Argentina not because I
interested in the world yes and so everyone does not know
can analyze more news and
we have how much space are you
dedicates nothing to the international
then ortega is also told that
we were a bit of a goal back we were
collective egotists yes and this either
is this new need that we
confirm that we are good and that
we wait all the time that’s not for
nothing new this appears as early as 1922 in the
argentina a very important dramatist
that was called bénavent is was
touring the different towns and cough
taking his work with lola membrives that
he was acting at that moment and then they arrive
to a town to rufino and picking up everything
what you want
the letters letters and the telegrams are
find out that it’s finally over
to be named the Nobel prize of
literature
then there was a huge stir
almost being fired because you all
they thought that he was finally going to come back
to Spain and finally decided to continue
for each town and keep his word
error because in every town that fell
as benavente is now such a man
important they asked him what he thought
about Argentina
the viewpoints did not respond
Joseph was repeated in each of the
pueblitos and it was already being done
on the ship to become Spain and a
despair so great they had
two for knowing what he thought about
we who navigators turned around
finally and told them if they want to know
what do I think about you weapons the only
possible word with the letters that
they make up the word Argentines
they all stood still they did not look and
they did not understand benavente got lost
between the boat crowd and went to
half an hour they realized that what
I got out of dealing with ignorant
I believe that they hope to have been very
negative with this talk
but what happened to me through me
charles see what are the errors that
I made a long time and not
that we are not so good let’s say and that
can change can be improved and I
it seems that to change one has to
have inspiration while having conscience
of all this sometimes when I put on
listen to my students sing the hymn
national
I have students who are children and
he heard singing with that force with that
love with that idea of what it is that
is in the best country in the world and of
that everything is fine that everything will come out
all right
sometimes I started crying
listening to them because I do not want
leave them this I think that everyone can
change from its place what is wrong
if you first see it if you start taking
aware of that and behind that hymn
that hear those voices dating like
historian present to me a
bunch of men who did things
immense was this country men who
they left their lives men who worked
who fought that they did not dream of another
way if they did not stay with what
there was
I believe that as good in reality
us but to borges said in some
opportunity
every town has the gods that are
deser
it seems to me that we can deserve
another god we can work to change and
we can finally become that
promise that we have always been and is the
who warned us so many years ago
ortega does more
