@SoyCristianRey Tienes razón. Tuca Ferreti dijo que el futbol en México es centralista y deben establecerse políticas para incentivar el futbol, y no solo el beisbol, en estas regiones (incluyendo por el físico). Incluso los pocos destacados en atletismo (Guevara, Cárdenas) son de ahí.

Joel Huiqui contó que sus abuelos y prácticamente toda su familia eran indígenas mayos de Sonora. Y honestamente, viendo el físico que tiene, me entró una duda que quizá nace desde la ignorancia, pero se me hace válida. ¿Por qué en México nunca hemos intentado realmente desarrollar deportistas en esas comunidades o tribus? Porque hay físicos que de verdad llaman muchísimo la atención. Gente fuerte, alta, resistente… perfiles físicos que fácilmente podrían destacar en muchos deportes. Y ojo, no lo digo de forma despectiva ni mucho menos. Al contrario. A veces siento que en México nunca hemos volteado a ver seriamente ese potencial. De hecho, siendo sinceros, yo confiaría más en desarrollar atletas con esos físicos impresionantes que seguir sacando deportistas de lugares donde normalmente ni siquiera existe esa ventaja física natural. Capaz estoy diciendo una tontería. Pero genuinamente me dejó pensando.

@BarcaZoneHub @FabrizoRumoro La Liga needs better competition. Only International interest on two teams that dominate every year (three or four if generous). A Betis-Osasuna (just example, nothing specific against those teams) hardly as attractive to a match of consolidated Premier League teams.

@FabrizoRumoro We need better TV advertisements and rights first

🚨 Arsenal won the Premier League & are getting £177.4M 🔴Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga & are pocketing €83.4M 🛑Inter Milan won Serie A & are pocketing €70M 🛑Paris Saint-Germain won Ligue 1 & are pocketing just €30M 🛑Barcelona won La Liga &…….see below

@SBelleofAL @Mr_Andrew_Fox WTF!!

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Europe has chosen Islamism as a core value. We have to think about our own security as well. Unlike the rest of the world, we haven’t forgotten 9/11.

Masterclass in diplomatic gaslighting from the Americans in Munich today. Too many European commentators behaving like battered wives. “Oh, he still loves us, he didn’t mean it, he won’t do it again, he just gets like that sometimes.” Wake up.

@Falliblemusings Not a great fan of Sapiens, but your viewpoint from few quotes doesn't give credit to its content. Example. Stories are glue that bind societies and human rights is one of them. Never implies that is valueless. Never says any story same value or benefit (nihilism).

I used to think Sapiens was a great book. Sweeping, provocative, the kind of book that makes you feel like you finally understand the big picture of human history. It's on every CEO's bookshelf, assigned in universities, praised as a masterwork of synthesis. Yuval Noah Harari is treated as one of the serious thinkers of our time. But something nagged at me. Some passages felt off. Claims that human rights are just figments of our collective imagination, not real things, just stories we tell ourselves. That nations, laws, money, justice, doesn't exist outside our heads. That meaning itself is a delusion we've invented to cope. That we're far more powerful than ever before but not happier. That hunter-gatherers had it better because they had no dishes to wash, no carpets to vacuum, no nappies to change, no bills to pay. That sounded depressing to me, but was perhaps just the realistic scientific worldview? What it meant to see the world clearly, without comforting illusions. Then I read The Beginning of Infinity by @DavidDeutschOxf. Deutsch has a concept he calls 'bad philosophy.' Not philosophy that's merely false, but philosophy that actively prevents the growth of knowledge. Ideas that close doors rather than open them. That makes problems seem unsolvable by design. After soaking in Deutsch's framework (it's dense, a bit like digesting a delicious whale), it becomes clear: Harari's books are riddled with bad philosophy. They're smuggling nihilism in under the guise of scientific objectivity. Some examples: On meaning: "Human life has absolutely no meaning. Humans are the outcome of blind evolutionary processes that operate without goal or purpose... any meaning that people inscribe to their lives is just a delusion." On human rights: "There are no gods in the universe, no nations, no money, no human rights, no laws, and no justice outside the common imagination of human beings." On free will: "Humans are now hackable animals. The idea that humans have this soul or spirit and they have free will, that's over." On progress: "We thought we were saving time; instead we revved up the treadmill of life to ten times its former speed." The Agricultural Revolution? "History's biggest fraud." We didn't domesticate wheat, "it domesticated us." On our cosmic significance: "If planet Earth were to blow up tomorrow morning, the universe would probably keep going about its business as usual. Human subjectivity would not be missed." On the future: "Those who fail in the struggle against irrelevance would constitute a new 'useless class.'" Homo sapiens will likely "disappear in a century or two." This is bad philosophy. It tells us our problems are cosmically insignificant, our solutions are illusions, and that progress is neither desirable nor within our control. It's also perfect nonsense. No one would ever go back to being hunter-gatherers. Would you rather worry about your kid spending too much time on Roblox, or face the 50% chance she won't reach puberty? And our so-called "fictions"? They ended slavery. They gave women equal rights. They solved hunger. They eradicated smallpox. They turned sand into computer chips. They got us to the moon, and hopefully soon, to Mars and beyond. These "fictions" are already reshaping the universe, and over time they may become the most potent force in it. Now compare Deutsch: "Humans, people and knowledge are not only objectively significant: they are by far the most significant phenomena in nature." "Feeling insignificant because the universe is large has exactly the same logic as feeling inadequate for not being a cow." "Problems are soluble, and each particular evil is a problem that can be solved." "We are only just scratching the surface, and shall never be doing anything else. If unlimited progress really is going to happen, not only are we now at almost the very beginning of it, we always shall be." Where Harari sees a species of deluded apes stumbling toward obsolescence, Deutsch sees universal explainers, the only entities we know of capable of creating explanatory knowledge, solving problems, and potentially seeding the universe with intelligence. The difference isn't academic. Ideas shape action. If you believe life is meaningless, progress is a trap, and humans are hackable animals with no free will, how does that affect what you build? What you fight for? What you teach your children? Harari's books sell because they flatter a fashionable pessimism. They let readers feel sophisticated for seeing through the "delusions" everyone else lives by. That smug cynicism is corrosive. And it's everywhere: in schools, in media, in bestselling books. More than half of young adults now say they feel little to no purpose or meaning in life. This is what happens when you teach an entire generation bad philosophy. Less progress, less health, less wealth. Less flourishing. And ultimately, a higher chance that civilization and consciousness go extinct. Fortunately, there's another equally well-written, but much truer, account of homo sapiens, appropriately titled 'The Beginning of Infinity'. And this one smuggles no despair in by the backdoor. But let's give Harari credit where it's due. He is right about one thing: if planet Earth blew up tomorrow, we wouldn't be missed. Because there'd be no one left to miss us, just a careless universe, blindly obeying physical laws. We are the only ones who can miss, but we're not going to. We're going to aim, hit, and keep going.

At the #22MSP of the @MineBanTreaty, High Rep. @INakamitsu delivered a joint statement of the UN Inter-Agency Coordination Group on #MineAction, calling to uphold global commitments to protect civilians against indiscriminate weapons. #SGCampaign 🔗tinyurl.com/4s3b57tv

@TJAQUEZH @JulianVenturaV @OPANAL Muy triste noticia y le envío el más sentido pésame a sus seres queridos. Pude colaborar con ella cuando estaba en Nueva York y DGONU, siempre con ideas claras y compromiso humanitario. Trascendió en un momento histórico excepcional, cuando la CD realmente negoció (CAQ y TPCEN).

😢QEPD la embajadora Andrea García Guerra. Gran diplomática multilateralista experta en desarme, a quien agradezco su dedicación y aportes a la causa desde Ginebra, Nueva York, la DG para la ONU y ante el @OPANAL. Mi más sentido pésame para sus seres queridos 🕊️☮️

In every corner of the world, whether in their home countries or far away, the @UN staff are working on the front lines of today’s most pressing challenges. See how the UN makes a difference in the lives of everyone, everywhere👉 buff.ly/44loWbd #LeaveNoOneBehind #UN80

We congratulate Tonga 🇹🇴 on its accession to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, which prohibits anti-personnel landmines. These weapons cause profound humanitarian harms, often spanning generations. The Pacific region is a global leader on disarmament, and New Zealand welcomes Tonga’s commitment to a #minefreeworld

While some step away, Tonga steps forward!🤝🇹🇴 📢We celebrate that Tonga has deposited its accession instrument to the UN and will become a State Party to the @MineBanTreaty on 1 December 2025. A strong commitment to disarmament and IHL—right when it's needed the most.⚖️📜

#GoodNews for the protection of civilians as 🇹🇴 Tonga completes its accession to the @MineBanTreaty, becoming State Party #166 @hrw

Belgium warmly welcomes Tonga as a new State Party to the #Anti-personnel Mine Ban Convention. An important step towards universalisation of the norm against these crude weapons and for the reinforcement of international humanitarian law and global peace initiatives.

¡🇲🇽 México celebra la adhesión de Tonga🇹🇴 al #APMBC! Apreciamos el creciente apoyo interregional a este instrumento fundamental del desarme humanitario que refuerza nuestros esfuerzos colectivos para proteger a los civiles, salvar vidas y avanzar hacia un mundo libre de minas.

🇲🇽 Mexico welcomes the accession of Tonga🇹🇴 to the #APMBC! We cherish the increased cross-regional support of this fundamental instrument of humanitarian disarmament, which reinforces our collective efforts to protect civilians, save lives and advance towards a mine free world.

Tonga 🇹🇴 became the 166th State to accede to the Mine Ban Convention, bringing us closer to a world free of anti-personnel landmines. Read more: treaties.unoda.org/t/mine_ban

Dudes will see this and say hell yeah

El Con. Alonso Martínez, Encargado Asuntos de Desarme y Derecho Intl en @MisionMexOI, participa en sesión especial de Comisión Seguridad Hemisférica @OEA_oficial sobre Tecnologías Emergentes de los Sistemas de Armas Autónomos Letales-Convención sobre ciertas Armas Convencionales

@MisionMexOEA @MisionMexOI @OEA_oficial @SRE_mx @banos_elena @OEA_Seguridad @scarHolguinG @OCHOA_MX_UN Agradezco la oportunidad y el apoyo @MisionMexOEA para contribuir a este intercambio sobre tema tan trascendente. Se deben romper silos, la @OEA_oficial debe analizar #LAWS desde perspectiva de seguridad multidimensional y contribuir a definir estándares de regulación global.

🇲🇽 destacó en sesión Comisión Seguridad Hemisférica @OEA_oficial sobre Sistemas de Armas Autónomos que la región es promotora del desarme y la solución pacífica de controversias y expresó preocupación por el potencial impacto indiscriminado de estas armas en poblaciones civiles

Hoy, 4 de abril, Día Internacional de información sobre el peligro de las minas, hacemos eco del mensaje de @antonioguterres. Incluso después de los conflictos y las guerras estas armas inhumanas siguen cobrando la vida de inocentes, 37% de ellos menores. 🇲🇽condena su empleo.

Finland, Poland & the Baltics withdraws from the landmines treaty but deploying landmines risks long-term civilian harm, not military advantage. @magnuslovold argue the move ignores overwhelming evidence of the humanitarian toll of landmines & is just performative.
