Knowledge as a prerequisite for transformation

Anonim

Diego Luis Córdoba: "Through ignorance one descends into servitude, through education one ascends to freedom."

"Philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways, but it is about transforming it.", Marx: Thesis on Feuerbach, no. eleven.

Many young people and some not so young, tired of the gossip and quackery that never produces any concrete fact that really transforms, make the mistake of misinterpreting this phrase of Marx, and fall into the temptation to forget about the world of theory and They go directly to the world of action, shooting arrows and stumbling without being able to accept and understand that they are embodying the contradiction between what they say and what they do, without being able to understand and become aware of the damage they are causing.

Yes, as if all theory were only banal and romantic interpretation of the world and as if all action implied, per se, a guaranteed transformation of it.

My dear reader, there can be no real transformation without prior knowledge of the reality to be transformed, without prior knowledge of how it is organized, what its laws of operation, its kinetics and development are, what internal and external social forces They exist to carry out the changes, which variables are in favor and which are against, with what intensity and at what level of the historical bloc the proposed transformation is wanted, that is, said transformation will never crystallize without real and scientific knowledge of it; well, excuse me, maybe, maybe, who knows, we probably need centuries and it will be the children of our children who, at best, will see something that may indicate the arrival of someday, of the transformation that their grandfather dreamed of or her great-great-grandfather.

My dear young man, please, you must necessarily and necessarily study and analyze the theory to achieve the accumulation of knowledge and with it, the necessary tools to achieve, first, study, understand and analyze the current situation, then study, to know and become aware of the transformation that we want to carry out, next step, to analyze the risks, the pros and cons for later, and only then later, to propose the possible actions to be carried out in order to successfully crystallize said transformation.

Have you ever wondered how many and which physicochemical, physical, mechanical, electronic and mathematical theories must be taken into account to explain how a vehicle can move from one point to another? You have ideas of the accumulation of theories that are required to explain how you can communicate with your friend through a cell phone, how the television works, how many and which theories are behind an advertisement, what theories are present in the learning process, which theories explain group behavior, which theories allow you to understand organizational behavior What theories should you keep in mind when designing and implementing a change within the organization, how many and which theories are behind the terms: Leadership, Management, Knowledge, Training, Training, Planning, Organization, Project,Objective, Indicators, Transition, Capitalism, Socialism, etc., etc., etc.

Well, do not be discouraged, all is not lost, we have another option, simply "as it comes we are seeing" and why not, let's run the wrinkle and leave it to me for later, because that of the theories is not with you, it is not with me, It is only for scientists and not for us mortals that we know how to do things well.

My dear friend, I encourage you, look up, to study, to study and continue studying, to plan and take to praxis, that accumulation of knowledge that you learned to see, all your dreams come true.

Courage, we, the world, we all need your help, please, do not give it halfway, do not give it incomplete that you can confuse us and make the situation worse, give it to us as it should and with quality, help us to improve.
