			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.jaimeportalluchini.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/idealreality.jpg" width="200" height="150" title="alternative reality" /> While I was in my room listening to some birds, I thought that the world had gone wrong a long time ago in it&#8217;s development. Birds don&#8217;t have any stress or many worries, they don&#8217;t have any goals to desperately reach in fear of failure&#8230;.and we make our lives much harder just because we are the most &#8220;intelligent&#8221; on the planet.</p>
<p>It would be fascinating if the world had taken another route, an alternate way, and had really been intelligent, a simple world, minimalist, with no tension, like the animals but with a lot of consciousness and wisdom, a strange reality for us now. A totally and absolutely different reality where nothing that we have today exists. <span id="more-248"></span></p>
<p>Minds would be cleaner and programmed to live in harmony. There would be no money, nor the need to work. There would be no professional careers, no attorneys, no one would need to defend themselves nor accuse another. There would be no doctors since the human body would be very healthy since the planet would be healthy. There would be nothing to protect ourselves against since our bodies would be perfectly developed. There would be no diseases nor mental illnesses. </p>
<p>Fears wouldn&#8217;t exist since everything would already be known. There wouldn&#8217;t be catastrophes since we would all be prepared for anything that would come. We would only live in safe places and there would be no overpopulation; order would be something that would be inherent to the human being. </p>
<p>Man would then have developed physical abilities and aptitudes like being able to climb, jump very high, or maybe even&#8230;..fly; the difference is, in our reality, something has gone wrong with the development of our bodies.</p>
<p>Take an ant for example, who is walking happily through the house and suddenly an earthquake, hurricane, or tornado occurs, there is a big chance that our little friend would survive and wouldn&#8217;t even notice what had happened. Man, on the other hand, is very vulnerable in such dangerous situations. Even a cat could save itself easier in these kind of situations with its agility and capability to climb, run quickly, and always land on its feet. </p>
<p>Our bodies should have been made with a different type of material that is more resistant and fits better with the world in which we live. Another even stranger alternative would be to live in a more smooth and soft world (a world made of cotton!)</p>
<p>We wouldn&#8217;t wear clothes, we wouldn&#8217;t have fashion to follow. There would be no stereotypes or archetypes, which would give us more peace. Maybe we could wear something to cover ourselves with, made of some unknown material with just one color&#8230;.and everyone would wear the same thing, (sounds boring since we follow the rule of fashion nowadays). It&#8217;s a covering that we wouldn&#8217;t even have to put on, it would adhere to our bodies automatically and it would change it&#8217;s texture and quality depending on our needs (and it would look very modern!).</p>
<p>There wouldn&#8217;t be any traffic accidents, we would ride in spaceships equipped with instruments to avoid them. We would have a special covering, like a sphere around our bodies that would activate itself a few seconds before some type of danger arose.  There would be no traffic rules, that is very obvious for the level of life that would be lead. There would be no stupid or superficial people, no one incapable of thinking deeply, there would be no space for them, it wouldn&#8217;t even be a possibility.</p>
<p>Imagine that technology would be so advanced and extremely minimalist that it would be so easy to use that it wouldn&#8217;t even seem as if it were technology, and the best part is that technology advances along with the evolution of man and not any faster. Communication would be different, there would really not be much to report or to know because all of the natural habitat would be simple and superior, not primitive, actually it would be so amazingly futuristic that everything that seems modern and cool to us now would be boring, complicated, and even stupid.</p>
<p>We wouldn&#8217;t need more of what we would have because everything would be enough and we would get things easily. There would be no need to invent something to resolve the problems from another invention.</p>
<p>There would be no internet nor social networking sites, remember there would be no money so people wouldn&#8217;t be trying to sell and promote something, nor would they be trying to contact you since it would be very easy to connect. Everyone would be willing to live in harmony and everybody would be kind (We finally wouldn&#8217;t have to open millions of accounts in every single new social networking site or service that shows up on the web!). It would also be easy to transport yourself from one place to another. There would be teleportation or doors to another dimension, not taking the conventional route&#8230;.maybe we would control space and time in a distinct way.</p>
<p>There would be an enormous variety of entertainment and obviously it would be free&#8230;.art would be fundamental in life;  the bands and musicians would be all genuine. There would be no need to work promoting your musical production&#8230;.it would be automatic and it would reach all of the specific people all over the world that have a taste for the musical style of that band. I imagine all communication going through the air, in a visual way. We could see the information floating in the air and it could draw our interest, like a hologram that is close to us that we can easily take&#8230;&#8230;(that part I like a lot).</p>
<p>I just thought that we&#8217;ve all really screwed up&#8230;..</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jaimeportalluchini.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/idealreality.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Imaginando Una Realidad Alterna e Ideal</h2>
<p>Mientras estaba en mi cuarto escuchando algunos pajaritos pensaba que el mundo se equivoco hace mucho tiempo en su camino de desarrollo, los pájaros no tienen estrés ni muchas preocupaciones ni metas para alcanzar desesperadamente temiendo el fracaso&#8230;. y nosotros nos complicamos tanto porque somos los más &#8220;inteligentes&#8221; del planeta.</p>
<p>Pero sería fascinante si el mundo hubiera tomado otra ruta, un camino alterno  y hubiera sido inteligente de verdad; un mundo simple, minimalista, sin tensiones, al estilo animal pero con mucha consciencia y sabiduría, una realidad rara para nosotros ahora, una realidad total y absolutamente diferente donde no exista casi nada de lo que hay, donde la gente dure más y todo sea muy simple.</p>
<p>Las mentes están mas limpias y programadas para vivir en armonía, no existe el dinero, no hay necesidad de trabajar. No hay carreras profesionales, no hay abogados, nadie necesita defenderse ni acusar a otro, ni médicos porque el cuerpo humano  es muy saludable ya que el planeta es muy saludable, así que no hay mucho de que protegernos, nuestro organismo se desarrolla en forma perfecta y no existen enfermedades ni siquiera mentales.</p>
<p>Los temores no existen ya que todo se sabe y no existen catástrofes porque todos estan preparados para todo, solo se vive en lugares seguros y no hay una hiperpoblación, el orden es algo inherente al ser humano.</p>
<p>El ser humano entonces desarrolló habilidades y aptitudes físicas como la de trepar, dar enormes saltos e incluso o tal vez &#8230; volar; a diferencia de nuestra realidad donde algo pasó con su desarrollo corporal.</p>
<p>Imaginemos una hormiga, caminando feliz en la casa, de pronto ocurre un terremoto, huracán o tornado, hay muchas probabilidades que nuestra pequeña amiga sobreviva y ni siquiera se habrá dado cuenta de lo que pasó, en cambio el hombre es muy vulnerable a ciertas situaciones de peligro, aún un gato podría salvarse más facilmente en esas situaciones por su agilidad y capacidad de trepar, correr rapidamente, y caer en forma segura.</p>
<p>Deberíamos estar formados de un tipo de material más resistente que vaya de acuerdo a nuestro mundo, otra alternativa más rara aún sería que el mundo sea más blando y suave (un mundo de algodón!).</p>
<p>No usamos ropa, ni hay una moda que seguir porque no hay estereotipos ni arquetipos y eso nos da más paz, tal vez usamos una especie de cubierta de un material desconocido y de un solo color &#8230; y todos usan lo mismo, (suena aburrido porque seguimos los canones de la moda de nuestra época). Es una cubierta que ni siquiera tenemos que ponérnosla, se adhiere automáticamente a nuestro cuerpo y cambia de textura y calidad según nuestras necesidades (y se ve muy moderna!).</p>
<p>No hay accidentes de tráfico, usamos naves preparadas para eso y tenemos una cubierta especial, como una esfera alrededor de nuestro cuerpo que se activa segundos antes cuando existe algún tipo de peligro, no hay reglas de tránsito, eso es demasiado obvio para el nivel de vida. No hay gente de bajo nivel mental, superficial o incapaz de profundizar, no hay espacio para ellos, ni siquiera es una posibilidad.</p>
<p>Imagina que la tecnología es tan avanzada y de un minimalismo extremo que todo se hace muy fácil y ni siquiera parece tecnología, y lo mejor es que esta tecnología avanza a la par con la evolución humana y no más rápida. Las comunicaciones son diferentes, en realidad no hay mucho que informar ni conocer porque todo el hábitat natural es simple y superior, no primitivo, por el contrario es tan alucinantemente futurista que todo lo que nos parece moderno y cool ahora, en realidad es aburrido y complicado sin ninguna razón, sin ningún objetivo y más bien es tonto.</p>
<p>No necesitamos más de lo que tenemos porque todo es suficiente y todo se consigue fácil; no hay necesidad de inventar algo para solucionar las consecuencias de otro invento.</p>
<p>No hay internet ni redes sociales, recuerda que no hay dinero, entonces no hay gente tratando de vender y promocionar algo, ni tratando de contactarte, ya que las conecciones son muy fáciles, todos estan dispuestos a vivir en armonía y todos son amables, (y ya no tenemos que abrir millones de cuentas en cada nuevo social networking site o servicio que vaya apareciendo en la web!) además es facil transportarse de un lugar a otro, existe la teletransportación o puertas de viaje, no tomando la ruta convencional&#8230; tal vez nosotros manejamos el espacio y tiempo de una forma distinta.</p>
<p>El entretenimiento es de una variedad enorme y gratis obviamente, el arte es algo fundamental en la existencia; las bandas, los músicos son genuinos y no hay necesidad de trabajar promocionando el album&#8230;. el material musical llega de forma automática a específicas personas en todo el mundo que tienen gustos afines a la música de la banda, me imagino las comunicaciones en el aire, pero de forma visual o algo así, uno ve que hay una información que nos interesa y esta en el aire, como un holograma cerca a nosotros y la tomamos facilmente&#8230; (esta parte me gusta mucho).</p>
<p>Solo pensaba por qué nos equivocamos tanto&#8230;</p>
