Many so-called intellectuals of today are far from being global thinkers; servants of the prince, they live in the unreality of their certanties. There is much misery in linear thinking, unreal because not contaminated in the complexities of the worlds-of-life; few seem to seek the truth of reality, of life processes, and are prisoners of their "disciplinary illusion" to understand.
The degeneration of our historical time is the distance between us and reality, between the strength of the facts that are in front of us and our inability to look beyond, to build coexistence paths in understanding and respecting the differences that characterize the human condition in creation. Intellectuals have a great responsibility in stressing that distance through a linear and disciplinary thinking that separates what is not separable and that limits the approach to reality to what we know.
Complexity and transdisciplinarity are increasingly necessary to return to live, to rediscover the depths of a life that is really such.
