Step into the world of the Celts. Their identity stretches far beyond maps and borders. It weaves together a tapestry of shared traditions, vibrant cultures, and timeless stories. This chapter invites readers on a journey through the essence of Celtic identity. It is not just a matter of geography. It is a living, breathing cultural legacy. This legacy has evolved over thousands of years. A common thread unites these places. You are in the misty hills of Ireland. It is the rugged coasts of Scotland. It is even the green valleys of Wales. The windswept shores of Brittany and Cornwall also share this unity. It is a deep-rooted sense of belonging to something ancient, magical, and enduring.

Neoliberalism: A Reflection

Martyn Richard Jones, A Coruña, 9th April 2025

In a compelling lecture by Enrique Javier Díez, a respected professor at the University of León, he opened with the well-worn Chinese proverb: “Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime.” A familiar refrain, often invoked in discussions of education and empowerment, it was a fitting start — but Díez, with the precision of a seasoned academic and the urgency of a citizen deeply attuned to the injustices of our time, was not content to leave it there.

Afilonius Rex, Bilbo, 22nd January 2025.

“They are so blind that they prefer to harm millions of Spaniards in order to erode the government. Feijóo is willing to go blind in order to make Sánchez one-eyed.” These were the recent words of Oscar Puente, Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of the Government of Spain, referring to the extreme rightwing opposition in Spain, led by the Galician Nuñez Feijoo, and consisting of the Popular Party, the ultra-right Vox, and JUNTS, the extreme rightwing catalán nationalist party.

Afilonius Rex, Washington DC 21st January 2025.

Like many places in Europe, Spain is a fascinating mix of modernity, liberty, equality, rights and obligations. Unfortunately, and as elsewhere, it also comes with a massive dose of rightwing revisionism. There is nostalgia for a bloody and long dictatorship. A degree of xenophobia and racism is present, defying the facts on the ground. As is usually the case.

Dinamitar la política española


Afilonius Rex, Nueva York, 18 de enero de 2025
La derecha en España no ofrece alternativas realistas en términos de políticas, principios e iniciativas coherentes y cohesionadas. No ofrecen liderazgo, ideas ni capacidad de Estado. Su oposición no se basa en alternativas respetables, sino en mentiras, difamaciones y calumnias.

The best way to avoid creating data silos is to develop a plethora of data silos?

Narrator: Data Warehousing is an excellent integrator; it is the cohesive melting pot of data and the best-known way of providing multiple valid versions of the truth depending on who is looking at the data, when they are doing so, and from what perspective.
