E 'widespread view among those shoes splashing in the sea of \u200b\u200btheir own and others' opinions, that a real truth underneath there, and that at most he can find a substitute or a discreet mediation on facts and opinions. This distorted vision on the whole of a fact (which is the presence of truth) is to be extremely beneficial, both for those who desire to maintain unchanged the current state of things (hence the hegemony of power to its holder) and for those points to divert the attention of those who have the skills to drag the ethical dilemma (and therefore potentially the solution) on the agenda in società e nella cultura.
Il mantenimento del potere , come ben sappiamo, è oggi più che mai semplice da ottenere. La propaganda mediatica, in un’era in cui la tecnologia dà possibilità senza sforzo e a buon mercato di toccare ogni angolo del pianeta in pochi istanti, permette non solo al potere di autodefinirsi tale con sufficiente credibilità, ma anche di instillare nel popolo il falso sentore di normalità e accondiscendenza nei confronti dello stesso, che si traduce (nelle democratiche sedi di voto) in una scelta compiacente e partecipe di appoggio ad un determinato sistema di potere, anche quando alla luce dei fatti non conviene. A questo, si aggiunge poi la naturale human propensity to identify in a pack, a concept from one era to appropriately renamed to keep abreast of the times (party, brand, sports team, ...).
Despite the simple method of dissemination of consensus, the maintenance of power is an exasperating that worn deep in the fabric of society, not only for activities that drain energy, but also - and perhaps especially - all the social habits that promotes. In fact, the power holders and their allies (active or passive accomplices) you acknowledge and reinforce one another in practices which, taken together, can be enclosed under the single definition of corruption. Corruption undermines the trust, justice and efficiency, erodes common sense and fair play, and brings inconvenience to those who hinder the honesty and honor those who blatantly favors if n'adegua, with a slow but overwhelming force capable of destroying any social superstructure, even empires. So not only is a carrier of costly tax evasion and illegal abuses, but it is also a very bad moral conduct for themselves and their children. Corruption also reached the summits of power before any other vice or virtue, and tends (like a virus) to promote herself trying to decriminalize the eyes of society and the law. The liberalization of the illegality and the legitimacy of the culture of corruption, common priorities of the governing bodies subversive, is a clear indication of a dangerous trend that could lead to catastrophic consequences for the future of society itself.
The only way to change things and then the search for truth that, as a disturbing factor in a state of idyllic balance of power between characters, is the basis for providing evidence to deductive logic the benefit. In other words, the objective analysis of the facts, reduced by any personal bias, inevitably leads to a solution of the problem appears to be in one way or another, the more right or the most advantageous (depending on the context). E 'for this that often such research is hindered energetically dominant oligarchy, which earns money (and power) from its social imbalance and injustice related to the lack of analysis and objective solutions: it can exist in this oligarchy' only social ecosystem by feeding on an uneven global situation, the energy foundation of its power.
I can not, in my heart, who puts his own interests to defend the common good. Not so much a moral issue (which is indeed peremptory), as a matter of evolution. They, In fact, reason being contingent on ignoring the damage that their careless behavior refers also on their children and their future. However I can not, for similar reasons after all, to blame the behavior, especially when they profess to carry aware of a corrupt and inconsistent set of values: in the end, mechanically-operated in their interest, in a situation where the maximization of its profit is perceived as the best thing to do. But I am unable to blame those who suffer from this situation, lifeless, and then sedated hordes of people who not only have the will to rise to a situation clearly inappropriate (for themselves and their children), but even come to share, in defiance of the laws of logic, evidence of facts and his own personal dignity. Establish an environment short of collective madness in which the facts and knowledge is denigrated, and (the deduction) truth publicly defamed, the human tendency to flock to make the glue between a large group of fools unable to accept it.
The course draws strength from the collective delusion ' ignorance, not only by passive acquiescence, as an inexhaustible source of the absence of rational criticism and revision. For this reason, the ' education is one of the most sought after prey from power. Poor or even better inaccurate statement makes it possible to train individuals in power biased, trained to defend the principles and justify the methods, so good mostly because his work of promoting socially credible. By criticizing the critical intellectual independence, education is not corrupt as free citizens but customers are accustomed to a product, unable to find and evaluate alternatives. It is therefore a form of cultural monopoly, whose lack of competition precludes the development and improvement of the state of things. The main purpose of education then, that the impoundment of mediocrity, is shot down, and with it the quality of culture and opportunities for participation politics of the people who will be so easily manipulated by a corrupt power.
In an age that measures the quality of freedom from the amount of information transferred, the amount of words spoken and the number of votes obtained, we can not therefore surprising that some of the most concrete form of political participation and is formalized in the moral debate . The adventurous and willing to be found so in the public square (virtual or physical that is) to fight this modern (and limited) transpose the usual struggle between good and evil, thus bringing the lounges, bars and online communities to be filled with partisan inconsistent that, in their small, they claim to be right for various reasons, with the exception of the one who should move their consciences, that is - exactly - the search for truth. Each side presents its view antagonist in the debate, and in an instant the whole square reacts admired or disgusted, interested or bored, for an engaging (as empathic contents) theater without winners or losers, without any targets or results , in which power is democratically again managed to obfuscate the truth. The facts give way to views, the consequences give way to theories or conspiracies, and he leads a game that revolves more around the truth, but around the protagonists . For this reason, the search for truth is set aside, more democratically, trying to get a surrogate for his persuasive opinions, views from this angle that lose all their flavor genuine liberal than once.
This debate, regardless of how it will end, it has been a hit for power and a defeat for the truth and culture, since no debate of this kind can never lead to truth. The assumptions are wrong, opinions irrelevant (if not supported by facts), the context for re-interpreted to favor a competitor or the other, le credenze create a tavolino da abili campagne di propaganda mediatica, e i fatti lasciati in secondo piano senza che gli antagonisti sentano l’esigenza di interpellarli per dare credito alle proprie argomentazioni al di là della dialettica convincente. Manca umiltà, onestà, intelligenza e senso della critica, manca cultura e senso del futuro, manca uno scopo morale. L’indagine maieutica (ossia la possibilità di discernere la vera conoscenza dalle opinioni soggettive tramite il dialogo) risulta essere insomma fallimentare: la menzogna prevale perché lo scopo del dibattito non è la ricerca della verità ma la ricerca della vittoria .
Ed è ora di capire that winning does not mean they're right.
