I may say that all my life I tried to understand what life is. This
also because I have always seen life from a door ajar. I don’t believe
that to change the state of things is our task. Things go their own way
because there are no more vital subjects, ruled by vital laws.The
inclination to sacrifice oneself for one’s own tribe or family has
always existed. It existed 100,000 years ago, when humans were 6m, it
exists now that we are 6b. But the rationales for action are gone mad,
and have become unstoppable by any subject or organized force. In
opposition to what was true 100,000 years ago there is now a
generalized nihilism a mortal dissatisfaction, disposing of all
diversified means of destruction from explosives and all kind of
weapons, to alternative chains of command uncheckable, from satellite
phones to internet. Internet was designed to substitute a damaged
“legitimete” chain of command which might have been damaged by a sudden
nuclear attack. Now they have become part and instrument of the attack
itself.The mere repression is completely useless and even melts with
the attack itself. Terror and the fight against terror are becoming
indistinguishable, as we have seen in the 11/9 attacks and the wars
that were unleashed in reprisal, This is no more Life, it is the final
consummation of a path taken thousands of years ago, when humans chose
the shortcuts of technique. _Dommage_, Life was beautiful, and it is
still beautiful for what remains of it, especially outside humankind.
What we see now is the end of a path.
