Israel Centeno There is something profoundly unsettling in the way pop culture turns those who should horrify us into icons. The United States —and by extension, much of the Western world— seems to have a lasting fascination with figures who, in various ways, have embodied crime, violence, and moral transgression. From mobsters like John Dillinger…

Israel Centeno bilingual 🇬🇧/🇪🇸. Language is not a tool; it is a threshold. A fracture between silence and presence, between being that has no need to speak and being that cries out for meaning. What we have discussed today revolves around this tension: the word as eternity and the word as a sign worn down…

By Israel Centeno version bilingue, 🇬🇧🇪🇸 God is the Eternal Now According to St. Thomas Aquinas, God does not dwell in time but in eternity— not as infinite duration, but as a total and simultaneous present. Aeternitas est tota simul (S.Th. I, q.10 a.1). He is the Unmoved Mover, not one who pushes from the outside,…

Girard, Aquinas, and the Banality of Evil in the Culture of Spectacle Israel Centeno Revisiting the Menéndez family case isn’t just a return to a chilling crime.

Israel Centeno I. Humans are, above all, migrants Since the dawn of humanity, people have been on the move. The first great migration was not a conscious choice, but an instinctive impulse. A group of hominids left southern Africa—likely from what is now Angola or the Democratic Republic of the Congo—and crossed jungles, deserts, rivers,…

Israel Centeno (Una meditación desde Eleonore Stump, Teresa de Ávila y Job) I En la era de las inteligencias artificiales, los modelos computacionales del cerebro y la obsesión por reducir lo humano a patrones verificables, reaparece una pregunta antigua con urgencia nueva: ¿qué es la conciencia? ¿Es una función biológica emergente, una ilusión útil para…

Israel Centeno Fatal Crossing is not a show that screams. It whispers. Slowly, deliberately, until you realize it has trapped you. At first glance, it may look like just another Nordic noir: a journalist-turned-investigator, a trail of murdered girls, a powerful conspiracy. But if you surrender to its measured pace —and its deep humanity— it…
