Descartes’ Philosophy: Rules, Morality, Doubt, and Substance
1. Descartes’ Rules of Method
The first was to never admit anything as true without knowing the evidence that it was, that is, carefully avoiding precipitation and prevention and not including in my judgments nothing more than what was presented to my mind so clearly and distinctly that I had no reason to doubt it.
The second, to divide each of the difficulties I examined into as many parts as possible and into as many as required for its best solution.
The third, to drive my thoughts, starting with

Types of GDP Critique
- Political Critique: Insists that regardless of the size and evolution of the national economy as measured by GDP, the sheer magnitude of the GDP is an important fact.
- Ecological Critique: Consists of indifference to accounting for the natural environment, taking into account that the economy is human action, and that human life is inevitably dependent on the ecosystem. A disregard for nature in the accounts is very dangerous. Economic growth has environmental costs.

Cell Division, Biodiversity, and Supporting Tissues in Plants
Mitosis
Mitosis is the division of the nucleus. Before starting, the DNA is duplicated to have two identical copies of genetic information. Mitosis seeks to ensure each new nucleus receives a copy of this information.
Phases:
- Prophase: The DNA condenses and forms chromosomes. The cytoplasm is organized in a system of protein tubules, which are the spindle. At the end of prophase, the nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes are free in the cytoplasm. The nucleolus also disappears.
- Metaphase:

Postmodern Society: Impacts on Individual Well-being
Disregard for Saturation
The reason is that there is everything in excess, causing saturation. Values are devalued; the important thing is to have fun while saying nothing, without contributing anything.
Features:
- The overwhelming frivolity. A kind of socialization of banality and mediocrity.
- The promotion of human selfishness, lack of solidarity, lack of high ideals, and a drop in values.
This causes some to consider suicide, looking for a quick exit to this accumulation of facts.

Cormophyte organization refers to an organization in which cells are grouped into tissues and organs, such as in Pteridophytes and Spermatophytes.
Cormophytes have organs for nutrition:
- Roots: for absorption of water (H2O) and mineral salts.
- Leaves: for capturing light and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

Macroeconomics: Key Indicators and Economic Activity
Introduction to Macroeconomics
Macroeconomics focuses on the overall behavior of the economic system, reflected in a reduced number of variables such as production, employment, investment, consumption, and the type of economy. This search image shows the operation of the economy as a whole.

Nietzsche’s Critique of Western Philosophy
The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche must be framed within the crisis of human reason in the nineteenth century. Western culture, born in Greece, transitioned from myth to logos, entrusting since its beginning in the potential of reason to achieve its intended goals.
