PLATO
Platón
You can read TIPOS UNICOS in English and in Spanish free in "20 MINUTOS" newspaper, which is offered free in the morning outside Acacias Undergound. Next issue wil be 18 Feb.Don't miss it!!
Despite having lived in the 5th C. BC, Plato is still a pivotal character in western civilization.
His elegance and conciseness as a writer are evident in his dialogues that involved his teacher Socrates and others. The Apology about Socrates trial) and the Republic (about justice) are his most famous pieces. Plato's dialogues are about ethics, law, rhetoric math, logic, natural science and more. He touched on all the problems that philosophers have contemplated since then. Interestingly he hardly wrote anything about himself, thus very little is known about his life. He travelled around the Mediterranean learning and teaching. While in Syracuse, the cruel and suspicious emperor sold Plato into slavery He was later released when an admirer bought his freedom. At about 40 years old, Plato retuned to Athens and set up the Academy, which is considered the first university in the west He Ied and taught there for4óyears though none of his lectures were published. The Academy was closed 900 years later by a Byzantine emperor who thought it was a threat to the spread of Christianity As Socrates was Plato's mentor, Plato was Aristotle’s. The three laid the foundation of philosophy as we understand it today They disdained opinion based on perception of the material world; they preferred immutable Forms that constitute real
and provide truth, order and wisdom. For Plato, these were the only way to virtue and ethics in a constantly changing world.

I, ROBOT
Dr. Susan Calvin, a pioneer in the field of robotics, answers questions put to her by an unnamed Interviewer, who is also the narrator of all the linking sections. The Interviewer recalls the circumstances surrounding the growth of the robotics industry and the instrumental role Calvin played in designing both robots and the business of manufacturing and distributing them. Questions indicate that he's more interested in the human side of Calvin, who half jokingly refers to how people have described her as a robot and whom narration reveals has a cool, calculating penetrating manner.
Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or the Second Law.

BEER PHILOSOPHY- READ
A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about 2'' in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous - yes. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour their ! entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
''Now,'' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, ''I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.''
''If you put the sand into the jar first,'' he continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There! will always be time to go to work , give a dinner party and fix the disposal. ''Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.''
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. ''I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers.''

A Bad Dream?
Jemima was taking an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve before the festivities. After she woke up, she confided to Max, her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's present. What do you think it all means?"
"Aha, you'll know tonight," answered Max smiling broadly.
At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Max approached Jemima and handed her small package. Delighted and excited, she opened it quickly. ??

Absent-Minded Professor
One of the world's greatest scientists was also recognized as the original absent-minded professor. One day, on board a train, he was unable to find his ticket. The conductor said, "Take it easy. You'll find it."
