At first glance it might seem that there is an accurate direction, so that this popular character from Dostoevsky to become as soon as the prototype of the future Italian national. But I do not believe that someone is really trying to make us white as lilies, pure of mind to the extreme as Prince Myshkin. The analogy stops only at the novel's title, or the significance this has for the word. The content offered by television, print and current are slowly changing the soul of our country. All this work that a number of features not too pleasant, to become the new way of being of the Italians: habit to simplify any reasoning, to trivialize the level of the most miserable bar talk (I hope LEXCIVILIS is exempt from this);
Put on top quelli che sono convinti che la fortuna passa attraverso la scelta di un pacco, immersi nella superstizione, ed in demenziali congetture cabalistiche sui numeri;
La ricerca della fortuna con il Superenalotto o meglio ancora con “Win for Life” che, come dice l’assurda pubblicità “è semplice!”;
Il voto elettorale sulla base di cosa i politici dicono e non certo di cosa fanno;
La partecipazione alla vita politica vissuta allo stesso modo del tifo da stadio, ben lontani da un vero impegno “agonistico” e semplicemente schierati come le falangi degli ultras da stadio;
La passione per forme di superstizione popolare che dubito fortemente si fermino al giusto livello di “gioco”, as the horoscope.
reference only, as could also be the ramblings of bloggers or the empty frivolity that animate Facebook or Youtube. In any case wean people to think and nourish them with ready-made opinions and very general, sometimes seems to be the order of information. On the "Journal" of December 22, 2009, stands a shocking title, surpassed only by the foolishness of which he had stuffed the related article: "And they call it global warming." The author, Joseph De Bellis, who has signed 25 other articles on that newspaper, from October 14 last year, on topics ranging from the Golden Ball, by Cassano, the Nobel just warming up to Obama the planet. The analysis of "scientific" De Bellis part of the experimental data measured in polar temperatures in Europe that week. This fact is the best proof for the author that "the story of global warming" would be a "myth," powered by "new champions of the world, invested with an undeniable truth regardless." For the De Bellis efforts to limit global warming caused by human activities, it's just an attitude "politically correct" but obviously silly, because "it is right even if it is wrong, and certainly if there is no evidence." On the other hand would end up in the trash "files and documents signed by hundreds of dissident scientists." A good article packed with street talk, a bit of conspiracy theory, a lot of arrogance and no data.
E 'comfortable doing "journalism" in this way, not spending the minimum energy to provide readers with some real facts and verifiable, but indulging in squalid way working on facts that require a minimum commitment to be exposed. Article prepares a truth easy, convenient and above all without any need for having to be verified and depth. The reader should not be bothering to seek confirmation for the proposed data but may simply nodded, glad that someone sang it to him in kind, the usual "professional disaster."
Similarly I suggest the author to write a song with perhaps just as critical on Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism. Strong that there will be yes and no twenty or thirty thousand people who can fully understand them in Italy, De Bellis might imply that only fools can think that there are electromagnetic waves. Everybody understands that it is the astral influence, or the magic words to operate our mobile phones. Or maybe you could make against the theory of evolution Darwin: a conjecture "politically correct", part of a smart complotto ordito dai soliti noti contro il buon senso e la saggezza che da sempre parlano di creazionismo. Potrebbe poi finire sostenendo quelli che sbraitano , affermando che la ricerca è solo un inutile costo per le tasche dello Stato, e che i giovani potrebbero realizzarsi meglio partecipando al Grande Fratello.
Il giornalista in questione, non si comporta meglio di chi manda in onda in prima serata trasmissioni sui pronostici delle stelle per il 2010, senza darsi troppo da fare a spiegare che è solo un gioco e non c’è nulla di serio. Quello che scrive, non mi piace meno del fatto che i telegiornali non parlano del mondo che c’è fuori di questo piccolo paese, ma dedicano minuti preziosi per Fabrizio Corona sure that he spent New Year's Eve rather than Christmas. In the end it's all people who live and strive for that to do this must give some pickaxe intelligence, good taste, reasonable. The manger and television news feeds docile voters as ruminants, transforming a people who were famous for the achievements of civilization donated to the world, a crowd of screaming people, selfish, superstitious and empty inside.
few words, finally, on climate change. Even if he did not agree on the actual impact of human activities on them, nobody can not see that the world is being born an attempt to re-establish our civilization on more sustainable footing. This is not just about environment, but also development of energy industries, diversification and independence of the sources, also new opportunities for developing countries. The data on raising temperatures in the long run, closely related to human activity. This does not preclude that there may be a different extent, for limited periods of time. Climate change is constant follow trends until they reach some threshold values. At that moment, as if closing a switch that can turn on and off little things like tiny ice ages or high water elevations. What we need are just a bit 'of prudence and good sense to try to keep this planet as close as possible to how we found it.
