O marciano encontrou-me na rua e teve medo de minha impossibilidade humana. Como pode existir, pensou consigo, um ser que no existir põe tamanha anulação de existência?
Afastou-se o marciano, e persegui-o. Precisava dele como de um testemunho. Mas, recusando o colóquio, desintegrou-se no ar constelado de problemas.
E fiquei só em mim, de mim ausente.

PALAVRA PEJORATIVA
O uso do termo “diferenciada” com sentido negativo ressuscita o preconceito de classe
“Você já viu o tipo de gente que fica ao redor das estações do metrô? Drogados, mendigos, uma gente diferenciada.” As palavras atribuídas à psicóloga Guiomar Ferreira, moradora há 26 anos do bairro Higienópolis, em São Paulo, colocaram lenha na polêmica sobre a construção de uma estação de metrô na região, onde se concentra parte da elite paulistana. Guiomar nega ser a autora da frase. Mas a autoria, convenhamos, é o de menos. A menção a camelôs e usuários do transporte público ressuscitou velhos preconceitos de classe, e pode deixar como lembrança a volta de um clichê: o termo “diferenciada”.
A palavra nunca fora usada até então com viés pejorativo no Brasil. Habitava o jargão corporativo e publicitário, sendo usada como sinônimo vago de algo “especial”, destacado” ou “diferente” (sempre para melhor).
– Não me consta que já houvesse um “diferenciado” negativamente marcado. Não tenho nenhum conhecimento de existência desse “clichê”. Parece-me que a origem, aí, foi absolutamente episódica, nascida da infeliz declaração – explica Maria Helena Moura Neves, professora da Unesp de Araraquara (SP) e do Mackenzie.
Para a professora, o termo pode até ganhar as ruas com o sentido negativo, mas não devido a um deslizamento semântico natural. Por natural, entenda-se uma direção semântica provocada pela configuração de sentido do termo originário. No verbo “diferenciar”, algo que “se diferencia” será bom, ao contrário do que ocorreu com o verbo “discriminar”, por exemplo. Ao virar “discriminado”, implicou algo negativo. Maria Helena, porém, não crê que a nova acepção de “diferenciado” tenha vida longa.
– Não deve vingar, a não ser como chiste, aquelas coisas que vêm entre aspas, de brincadeira – emenda ela. [...]

Model copes with chaos to deliver relief Computer program helps responders transport supplies in tough conditions
By Rachel Ehrenberg Science News, Web edition: Monday, February 21st, 2011
WASHINGTON — Getting blood or other perishable supplies to an area that’s been struck by an earthquake or hurricane isn’t as simple as asking what brown can do for you. But a new model quickly determines the best routes and means for delivering humanitarian aid, even in situations where bridges are out or airport tarmacs are clogged with planes.
The research, presented February 18 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, could help get supplies to areas which have experienced natural disasters or help prepare for efficient distribution of vaccines when the flu hits.
Efficient supply chains have long been a goal of manufacturers, but transport in fragile networks — where supply, demand and delivery routes may be in extremely rapid flux — requires a different approach, said Anna Nagurney of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who presented the new work. Rather than considering the shortest path from one place to another to maximize profit, her system aims for the cleanest path at minimum cost, while capturing factors such as the perishability of the product and the uncertainty of supply routes. ‘You don’t know where demand is, so it’s tricky,’ said Nagurney. ‘It’s a multicriteria decision-making problem.’
By calculating the total cost associated with each link in a network, accounting for congestion and incorporating penalties for time and products that are lost, the computer model calculates the best supply chain in situations where standard routes may be disrupted.
‘Mathematical tools are essential to develop formal means to predict, and to respond to, such critical perturbations,’ said Iain Couzin of Princeton University, who uses similar computational tools to study collective animal behavior. ‘This is particularly important where response must be rapid and effective, such as during disaster scenarios … or during epidemics or breaches of national security.
’ The work can be applied to immediate, pressing situations, such as getting blood, food or medication to a disaster site, or to longer-term problems such as determining the best locations for manufacturing flu vaccines. . Retrieved April 7th, 2011.

                                                       Um pouco de silêncio
Nesta trepidante cultura nossa, da agitação e do barulho, gostar de sossego é uma excentricidade.
Sob a pressão do ter de parecer, ter de participar, ter de adquirir, ter de qualquer coisa, assumimos uma infinidade de obrigações. Muitas desnecessárias, outras impossíveis, algumas que não combinam conosco nem nos interessam.
Não há perdão nem anistia para os que ficam de fora da ciranda: os que não se submetem mas questionam, os que pagam o preço de sua relativa autonomia, os que não se deixam escravizar, pelo menos sem alguma resistência.
O normal é ser atualizado, produtivo e bem-informado. É indispensável circular, estar enturmado. Quem não corre com a manada praticamente nem existe, se não se cuidar botam numa jaula: um animal estranho.
Acuados pelo relógio, pelos compromissos, pela opinião alheia, disparamos sem rumo – ou em trilhas determinadas – feito hamsters que se alimentam de sua própria agitação.
Ficar sossegado é perigoso: pode parecer doença. Recolher-se em casa, ou dentro de si mesmo, ameaça quem leva um susto cada vez que examina sua alma.
Estar sozinho é considerado humilhante, sinal de que não se arrumou ninguém – como se amizade ou amor se “arrumasse" em loja. [...]
Além do desgosto pela solidão, temos horror à quietude. Logo pensamos em depressão: quem sabe terapia e antidepressivo? Criança que não brinca ou salta nem participa de atividades frenéticas está com algum problema.
O silêncio nos assusta por retumbar no vazio dentro de nós. Quando nada se move nem faz barulho, notamos as frestas pelas quais nos espiam coisas incômodas e mal resolvidas, ou se enxerga outro ângulo de nós mesmos. Nos damos conta de que não somos apenas figurinhas atarantadas correndo entre casa, trabalho e bar, praia ou campo.
Existe em nós, geralmente nem percebido e nada valorizado, algo além desse que paga contas, transa, ganha dinheiro, e come, envelhece, e um dia (mas isso é só para os outros!) vai morrer. Quem é esse que afinal sou eu? Quais seus desejos e medos, seus projetos e sonhos?
No susto que essa ideia provoca, queremos ruí- do, ruídos. Chegamos em casa e ligamos a televisão antes de largar a bolsa ou pasta. Não é para assistir a um programa: é pela distração.
Silêncio faz pensar, remexe águas paradas, trazendo à tona sabe Deus que desconcerto nosso. Com medo de ver quem – ou o que – somos, adia-se o defrontamento com nossa alma sem máscaras.
Mas, se a gente aprende a gostar um pouco de sossego, descobre – em si e no outro – regiões nem imaginadas, questões fascinantes e não necessariamente ruins.
Nunca esqueci a experiência de quando alguém botou a mão no meu ombro de criança e disse: — Fica quietinha, um momento só, escuta a chuva chegando.
E ela chegou: intensa e lenta, tornando tudo singularmente novo. A quietude pode ser como essa chuva: nela a gente se refaz para voltar mais inteiro ao convívio, às tantas fases, às tarefas, aos amores.
Então, por favor, me deem isso: um pouco de silêncio bom para que eu escute o vento nas folhas, a chuva nas lajes, e tudo o que fala muito além das palavras de todos os textos e da música de todos os sentimentos. LUFT, Lya. Pensar é transgredir. Rio de Janeiro: Record, 2004. p. 41. Adaptado.
