Keep this in mind the next time you are about to repeat a
rumour or spread gossip.
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded
for his wisdom.
One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said,
"Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like
you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.
"That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me
about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say.
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you
are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's
true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness.
Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about
Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued,
"You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter,
the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes
going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is
neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at
all?"
The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why
Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was
shagging his wife

[Friends: I am not a Barca fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this one last
night. As Soso described it: PlayStation Soccer at its Best]
Post El Clasico: It's wasn't all about Barcelona being super

"One team played very good, one team very bad. Deserved win, deserved
loss. Humiliated? No. It's easy to deal with this loss, we just weren't
good enough."
Oddly humble from Jose Mourinho, yet maybe not. It's hard to defend your
corner with a matchstick, as some saying may or may not go - the match
wrote Mourinho's statement for him here. Madrid will return home
humiliated, regardless of what Mourinho says. Their team constructed
from hundreds of millions made to look not dissimilar to Almeria
<http://footballfashion.org/wordpress/2010/11/20/video-fc-barcelona-8-%E
2%80%93-almeria-0-spanish-la-liga-highlights/> by a Catalan side which
was awesome, unstoppable, all the invincible superlatives you could
think of.
The score could have been 7-0 and Mourinho would surely not have
gathered the courage to say that it was an unfair reflection. And once
again, FC Barcelona have lit up the world with their display - and sent
a shiver down the spines of every team which may be unfortunate enough
to finish second in their champions league group. A one in seven chance
of elimination right there when the draw is taken is not something to
look forward to.
Albeit, Madrid's players didn't help themselves. Mourinho didn't help
himself.
Lets look at the stats from last years same fixture and compare shall
we? Where Pellegrini's Madrid mustered 16 shots (2 on target) to
Barcelona's 9 (4 on target), Mourinho's team managed just 5 (2 on
target) to Barca's 15 (6 on target). Where Pellegrini's Madrid still
lost out in possession (38% to Barca's 62%) Mourinho's Madrid were even
worse (32% to Barca's 68%) Where Pellegrini's side made the fixture very
hard for Barcelona, Mourinho's team were harmless. And this latest
Madrid has even more spent on it.

Too easy for Messi and Villa on a night where Madrid were tactically
naive.
So rather then trying to find more superlatives for Barcelona lets focus
on what Madrid did wrong. Firstly, Mourinho made a similar mistake to
Pellegrini - for some reason, both of them thought that two midfielders
against Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets, with Messi dropping back to help
out, was a good idea. It's safe to say that it's really, really not -
two midfielders against that monster foursome is going to and did get
torn apart. Mourinho brought on Diarra at the break, but the damage was
already done - Madrid pushed up and paid a handsome sum for it.
Secondly you have to wonder whether Mourinho and his players thought
after their run of form that they would be able to bring the same kind
of brutality they have been dishing out to every other team in La Liga
upon Barca's head - an easy idea to be seduced by considering their
recent form - certainly this idea was in Harry Redknapp's mind when he
visited the San Siro with Tottenham. This was not a performance
befitting Mourinho's recent duels with Barcelona with Inter Milan - who
made Barcelona look harmless both at home and away. This was a
performance befitting a team who thought they could beat Barcelona at
their own game, untill about ten minutes in, when Xavi's excellent run
and finish broke the deadlock that was never going to be broken by
Madrid.
It didn't just look as if Barcelona were out of this world good, it
looked as if Madrid arrived bereft of ideas about what to do about it.
Even the youth players made their mark on a team that hasn't been
humiliated so badly since the 4-0 defeat against minnows Alcorcon, and
before that, Liverpool in the champions league, and before that,
Barcelona again, 6-1 at the Bernebau. Possibly, this is their worst
humiliation in quite some time.
Perhaps Mourinho didn't want to play this way at all. Perhaps the
culture of Madrid, and this massive rivalry expects that Madrid play
Barca on footballing terms, rather then the tactical terms Mourinho
would prefer. But surely this is bunkum. Better a win for Madrid playing
containing counterattack football then a result like this.
Either way it is done. There is still a title race to be had and Madrid
are scant points behind Barca - if Carvalho and Ramos had managed to
break Messi's legs in that awful set of challenges, they could even have
been favorites. But none the less the Galacticos are humbled. The
Special One's aura of invincibility is shattered for a while. And it was
not, even with the sterling form of Barcelona, a beating entirely
inflicted by the Catalan's in last night's Nou Camp encounter.
