About this space
Welcome to this small space that I've just created!
I would like to use this blog to write about different topics that are not really related to each other. I will use it to write about physics, because it is my path of life currently, and I would also like to talk about sociology, human behaviour and other interests I have. There is a section called "My work in Physics" for those interested in the different aspects of my research about Dark Matter, and then, there is another section called "Adriana & Sociology" which will be dedicated to some aspects related to human behaviour and the evolution of our society (probably my favourite). Finally, there might be a section called "Healthy Habits" that will be basically my way of viewing things such as how food and sport affects our body, healthy habits...

Fictional entities and
human cooperation.
A great number of strangers can productively collaborate together if they share common beliefs. Therefore, "belief" is the answer. This is what we call “fictional entities” or ``social constructs".
"Any human cooperation at large scale is established on common myths that only exist in the collective imagination of people."
The inherited goodness in humankind
There is this persistent myth that by their very nature humans are selfish, aggressive and quick to panic.
The truth is that, as humans, we are complex creatures, we have a good side and a not-so-good side. The question is “which of both sides will you look at?”, this is the same when we ask “what is true?”. The answer is that things have the potential to become true if we believe in them.
Ignorant and uninterested people. What are we to become?

In this article, I focus on the fading interest, the ignorance, the lack of information and knowledge, the lack of use of our critical minds... that seems to be overtaking us. Ignorance can be a powerful tool in the wrong hands, it is an advantage that a group with power can use to dominate a less powerful group.
" Tyrants and autocrats have always understood that literacy, learning, books and newspapers are potentially dangerous. They can put independent and even rebellious ideas in the heads of their subjects. ", Carl Sagan.
