No s\u00f3lo me refiero a las grandes preguntas de la vida: \u00bfde d\u00f3nde venimos?, \u00bfhacia d\u00f3nde vamos?, \u00bfhasta d\u00f3nde va el universo?, \u00bfqui\u00e9nes lo habitan? Me refiero, sobre todo, a lo poco que sabemos del mundo actual, de las sociedades a las que pertenecemos, de los problemas que tenemos y de las soluciones que necesitamos.<\/p>\n<p>A pesar de saber tan poco de tanto \u2014\u00bfo precisamente por ello?\u2014 vivimos en un ambiente medi\u00e1tico y social que no duda de casi nada. Y no duda porque simplemente no se hace las preguntas que no tienen respuesta, o porque no falta quien se invente esas respuestas. As\u00ed, nuestras vidas se debaten entre el presente perfecto que nos ofrece la sociedad de consumo y el futuro simple que nos prometen predicadores de toda \u00edndole.<\/p>\n<p>En ambos casos el nuestro es un mundo hecho a la imagen de la televisi\u00f3n, y sobre todo de la publicidad; un mundo en donde todo es asertivo y contundente: los jabones purifican nuestro cuerpo, los autom\u00f3viles nos llevan a territorios sin l\u00edmites, los bancos nos hacen ricos y la cerveza nos convierte en h\u00e9roes. En la televisi\u00f3n, lo real y lo fant\u00e1stico se confunden. Como dir\u00eda Baudrillard, entre las calles de Los \u00c1ngeles y Disneylandia ya no sabemos muy bien d\u00f3nde est\u00e1 lo real y d\u00f3nde lo imaginario.<\/p>\n<p>Pero el mundo ilusorio y categ\u00f3rico de la televisi\u00f3n no se queda en casa. Los primeros en reproducirlo son los pol\u00edticos, para quienes la paz, la justicia social, la prosperidad, todo est\u00e1 al alcance de la mano o, a lo sumo, a la vuelta de la esquina. En sus propuestas no hay margen de duda. Todo es bueno, claro y seguro; tanto como sus opositores son malvados y s\u00f3lo auguran desgracias.<\/p>\n<p>Pero nadie es tan efectivo en este mercado de promesas y verdades como las iglesias. La fe es el ant\u00eddoto contra la duda. Mientras el mercado, la televisi\u00f3n y los pol\u00edticos nos resuelven las incertidumbres terrenales, los sacerdotes nos solucionan las dudas trascendentales, las de largo plazo. Por eso, no es extra\u00f1o que la religi\u00f3n haga parte de la oferta pol\u00edtica actual de confort y seguridad. Los pol\u00edticos compensan el d\u00e9ficit de certeza y seguridad de sus propuestas con el superavit de evidencias que proporciona la religi\u00f3n. As\u00ed todo queda claro y resuelto.<\/p>\n<p>Esta manera artificiosa de enfrentar nuestras dudas nos est\u00e1 llevando a la cat\u00e1strofe. Y no me refiero solamente al renacimiento de las guerras de religi\u00f3n en el mundo \u2014algo que cre\u00edamos terminado hace cinco siglos\u2014 sino, sobre todo, al deterioro del debate pol\u00edtico y del sistema democr\u00e1tico. Si dud\u00e1ramos m\u00e1s, si tuvi\u00e9ramos m\u00e1s conciencia de que s\u00f3lo dependemos de nosotros mismos y no de dioses ama\u00f1ados y de ideolog\u00edas redentoras, si tuvi\u00e9ramos la humildad \u2014algo que las religiones predican pero no practican\u2014 de aceptar nuestra condici\u00f3n humana, probablemente estar\u00edamos m\u00e1s dispuestos a no dudar de lo \u00fanico que deber\u00edamos tener perfectamente claro; esto es, de aquellos principios b\u00e1sicos de dignidad, libertad, respeto e igualdad social que fundan cualquier sociedad democr\u00e1tica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa duda es desagradable, pero la certeza es rid\u00edcula\u201d, dec\u00eda Voltaire. No s\u00f3lo es rid\u00edcula, creo yo, tambi\u00e9n es irresponsable, perezosa y da\u00f1ina; en todo caso, lo es cuando de construir ciudadan\u00eda y democracia se trata.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live in a world in which we know very little of much.
