good very good afternoon
I think I’m the only man like
talk about feminine things and that fills me
of pride but it also makes me a little
nervous in 1985 in the municipal radio
of buenos aires argentina took
an event that seemed to me
fantastic a journalist with cream of the
time
Osvaldo Ferrari interview with Jorge Luis
borges in a series of programs
fantastic ones that were picked up after
in publicity works and simas and in a
moment given in all that series of
Ferrari programs asks borges
borges
Let’s talk about the conjecture for the first time
As you all know, the conjecture is
the most important word in the
borgiano language is the word that most
he liked boris Borges the moment
another one gets very serious because he was
half cock sucker gets very serious
and c
if ferrari is true the conjecture is what
what I like the most because the maximum
expression of the human person in the
maximum expression of the human being together
with the book the theory conjecture
the thesis is what the
human creativity
and then of course what Borges did was
transmit to all your readers but
also to all his listeners
the power of the guess well well I
I’m a university professor
I have more than 15 years talking about
political philosophy of political ideas
and I want to share with all of you my
life conjecture that is nothing
different
nothing different than the reason for being
maybe the reason for my own
existence and without being political
because the most important thing in a world
civilized and that fits him of course and
at the moment Colombia is
dignify politics believe in the
politics and dignify it is at last and
the great art of the arts is at last
of accounts the bet in common the point
meeting
the ideal scenario to build the
common good and that has been my thesis
that has been my flag and that has been my
guess
but I say more maybe the reason why
which very generously invited me today
to speak to you all is that
Despite many things that I am going to talk about
now they told me you have a story
quite different from what you and
represents and is that the best way to
dignify the most beautiful human art that
is politics is the woman in the
politics
and let me also share with you
you a very personal story no
let’s go into consciousness is because
there is no reason for it but it is a story
very personal
15 years ago I launched for the first time and
only time to politics with you have to
recognize it super success was the
young person more voted and more led the
Emblem of politics in Bogota in
Usaquén in the locality a goddess who
at that time I fell in love with a
woman that to my eyes was divine
supremely prepared smart and you
self-defined as a feminist and when I
I went out to write my columns of
opinion and I went out to give my talks my
speeches my parliaments and participated
in the symposium and in the dialogue
she was the first one that told me in her
bridal status
you can not talk about that you do not
you can talk about your parents man
admittedly heterosexual
yes coming from a family that does not
has sisters and besides that
conservative do not have the authority
1
is to talk about that nobody like you can
talk about that nobody can fly the
flag of dignifying politics to
through the woman like you
good and spent a year and a courtship of
two years three years and it may be that
women are women and what and how not
I know what and I stayed because
will be I have been basically
because I was supremely scared and
generates a paradigm a taboo a barrier
almost impassable
I can not talk about what I want
speak that is to dignify politics to
through the woman because in effect
I am heterosexual I am conservative not
I have sisters and I have a dog man
not to talk I was standing
I can not talk and so
unfortunately, many years passed
and I was facing different audiences
the most beautiful of all my students
and I could not let you tie up to talk
of what I most wanted to talk about was
the dignification of politics
through women and the feminine well
it was there when then I went to the
Bogota Book Fair by Council
from a great friend, fantastic historian
juan esteban constain acquire and I
I bought the awards speeches
nobles of literature and one that I
it seemed momentous is called tony
moore are a woman and old
Afro-descendant middle class
North American editor and educator
writer
in 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize and
in 1993 nothing more and nothing less than
the Nobel prize for literature but what
What struck me most was that
in that cold and boring December
as are the European Decembers
true they representatives are qualified
auditorium itself does not present
genuflections
introduction is salaam heras or anything
who looks like him and starts going to
what she was to her essence making a
educator and I repeat to then you
qualifies leasing auditorium starts with
a goal fota and I want to share with
you quickly that metaphor
because it was what ended up changing me
my perception and what I put myself
allowed to demolish that paradigm that wall
that task that I had had that
acquired years before Morrison account
that there was a famous lady like
xàbia famed as it looked famous as
smart prostrate in your porsche
I was there in the in the bank I was blind
I was also blind and as if that
outside little in half of the states
united was black and they arrived
then a small group of teenagers
irreverent whites of course I
they said let’s test the wisdom
this woman
let’s take a bird in our
hands and we’re going to ask you if the
bird lives or dies
in such a way that it is said to be alive
we kill him and if he says he is dead what
let’s go and bowling and it will always fall and
we will show that this woman is blind and
Black is not as wise as she believes when
these boys came those pelaos
as they say now they came to talk to
with this woman with this wise and do the
question raise the question the
bird that we have in our hands
lives or dies is alive or is dead and
what he answered after about
seconds of meditation this wise woman
It was the following
the answer is in your hands
and I was very touched that because
once he finished reading that beautiful
speech
to see the tone of the speech
I understood that I could and that only
It was in my hands and under my exclusive
Faculty of responsibility
go out to promulgate to the four winds and
in the seven seas
what I believe and I believe in politics
and I believe in clean politics in the
honest policy in politics the
operative in the policy debate in the
policy with height and for that I think that
you need women in politics
Time passed and after that
reading and in my condition also of
teacher
you have to prepare you have to read at home
I went out to read other readings and said it is
that we find in our history
celebrities celebrities and moss examples
to show that there is nothing better than
the sincerity that the courage that the
prudence that the wisdom that the
culture that the transcendence that the
vision of faith of women in the
politics
I also share something that there was not
prepared during all these weeks
with you
I think that people give themselves the word
spot on
the tone the woman has thanks to god and
in their own hands a different tone
and let me tell you something, I’m
convinced that this not the woman does not
it’s just more pure cleaner more
elevated but it is much braver
than that of man and what is required
in these moments to end the
corruption to end poverty
to end the taboos all of them
and with the lie in politics is that
wise and courageous willingness to change
but above all that wise brave
expression of wisdom in women
not in vain robert gates
maybe the biggest
expert of Greek mythology and of co2
He said that no other could have been the
greatest Olympians age but
atenea and grave explains it in a way
romantic divine
in my opinion beautiful serious said g
once they gave zeus the ax in
the head so that atenea atenea was born
it becomes the symbol of
intelligence but that cultured intelligence
of that well-achieved intelligence of that
prudent and profound intelligence
I believe that this is the symbol of
two thousand eight hundred years ago that symbol and
today classic is more alive than ever and
there are many other examples to say in
the average age in full middle age of
leonor of aquitaine
there are historians we must not ignore
what they recognize as the great queen
because she was the wife of two kings and mother
of four French and English kings
as if it were not enough but the important thing is
leonor de aquitania my way of seeing
that was the important thing of Leonor de
aquitania was that the first was the
first great political leader in
West who without holding the position and
the regency pri me paree and primary
most important was the woman who brought
the arts and culture
aesthetics and the concept of beauty
govern the destinies of the West a
woman the most important and most famous
woman of middle age who lasted little and
I think it ‘s another great value that
we need at this time in any
latitude in the political world bring side
arts culture tits
here to the world of politics and who
better than better driving than better
is or what better way than the own
woman and to finish I want
just tell them that my big challenge
after having removed the taboo and
have cleaned my eyes of any
tie that for more good faith I would have
said my ex feminist girlfriend who for
true is very dear no longer take
a bad impression
true is today ga
in our hands is to dignify the
policy that politics believe in
policy and above all invite the
women to participate with their
wisdom its intelligence its tone in the
politics
thank you very much
[Applause]
