"The characters in this story are fictional. Media messages are authentic. "Massimo Fini
So in the inside cover of his first novel," The God Thoth ", published by Marsilio (pp. 192, € 15). It is the confusion to attack the player, the very first pages, the question that arises however, gradually continuing to read, is as follows: when which purport to inform us through a third party, not directly in contact with the fact, which may be the consequences? If it is true, as he Zumbini Bonaventure, that "truth is a bit 'everywhere, but everywhere exaggerated and blurred," as orientation? Massimo Fini Their proximity to the world of information makes this witness - albeit translated in fictional context - so important for those who want to answer these questions.
In his novel the character of the Great Mousse argues that not only the journalist has a duty to inform, but also to train. She gives the latter term implies a negative, perhaps because the Great Mousse in addition to having the power of information holds political power ...
Yes, form the city is typical of any authoritarian state, in essence, the famous ethical state, where the State is also in charge of private matters of the city, the morality of the city ... So in this sense about the mouth of the head of the newspaper, which is also the head of the country, obviously has a negative meaning.
Yes, but the journalist in the selection of news, in comments accompanying the same news, it filters everything through his thought, thus giving a vision of the world that is own.
Up to a certain point, because it may always be all very questionable (a beautiful Japanese film "Rashomon," shows how the same fact seen from five different people have different interpretations 5) in on the facts remain the facts: so if you see one that is stabbing another you have to write this. In the news room for interpretation is relative.
I say this because by reading various newspapers of opposite political orientations seem to be in front of italie completely different from one another ...
Yes, because we are talking about politics because politics is made of words and not deeds, it is clear that you can say things different, contrasting in the most total, and no one is wrong and nobody is right. It is one of the "vices " of democracy, which is essentially made of words.
Another important theme of his book is the theory that too much information is in fact only an illusion of being informed ...
Too much information kills the information. This is true not only for the information, but for everyone. That's what you teach first-year economics: a spoonful of soup will save you from starvation, two make you feel a bit 'better, three make you feel good, you kill the penny. The excess of information ends up going through to the end and you do not feel anything, a little 'how in the world that I describe, which is not too far from that of today.
And just so I wanted to get there: through television and the internet first then seems to be coming to this situation: a world in which he is inundated with messages and information without which nothing actually remains within the person.
remains very little. There was an interesting survey done in the United States many years ago in which they were made in comparison with boys who had lived in the pre-television and boys instead lived television era. Not only the quality but also the amount of information held by the latter was lower than that in the first, something that tells you your grandfather sticks in your brain throughout life, a hundred thousand more - even for a matter of defense - you go through, because if I do not consider them all would live longer.
Also in the novel she portrays two figures can be positive in some way: that of the uninformed (people living on the margins of "civilized" world that does not get any kind of information, ed ) and Matthew , the protagonist (a journalist that he soon became aware of being in a sick system, ed). She believes it to be valid solutions? The isolation of the information is possible in this world and is an acceptable solution, which can lead to something positive?
You can Rate of isolation, because then you become something of a misfit, as is Matthew, who says while his work with the system that then at some point understand all be crap. It's a little 'the problem, carrying the little things that every parent has occurred with children: I show them the way television cretinizzo them or not I'll show but I moved to the environment in which they live?
Dilemma ... I do not think you chose the path of misinformation still more value: it is political director of a monthly magazine for over a year ("The Voice of the Rebel") worked at the daily, "... My
choice is in some ways contradictory ... I work in informing us, even if it is information that is more lateral, more marginal. The problem is: you are either silent or speak for saying this. Even on "the Voice of the Rebel" I said, we use - we will try to use - internet and means but the goal is to then break down the Internet.
She at some point it seems a bit 'suspended between pessimism and optimism of the will of intelligence, which are sometimes at odds with each other ...
I am totally at odds with each other, I have a vision pessimistic of the future, but this can not be the attitude of a young man (the guys who follow me are more or less your age, 20, 25, 30). So even the "Voice of the Rebel" and the movement that I created (Zero Movement, ed ) groped want to give a positive outcome, even counting the fact that young people - for what concerns my thoughts - not repeat Talmudic but so elaborate in their own way and according to the requirements, because a boy of twenty, however, can not think of it as a man of sixty. Nietzsche wrote, "does no credit to his teacher who is always of a century."
She has always maintained an attitude of complaint to the company the magnificent and progressive led. If you were to give advice to a young man of twenty years, since the outlook does not seem the most optimistic, I would advise him to fight on as she has done the same?
Yes, I would say - if you believe - this kind of merging of ideas, ideas that are anti-modernist but no not now: when did modernity has created high hopes, but has now failed. I do not blame the Enlightenment, Adam Smith or Marx, but two centuries and a half away, this model actually makes you feel more harm than good, even manages to make even those who are sick well: so much so that phenomena such as depression and neuroses are more common among the wealthy in the poorest and certainly in the Western world than in traditional societies
... ... and how he wrote "The reason he was wrong" in most modern societies than in pre- industry.
Exactly. Now this is not to return the world of caves, but to take the companies that have gone before us lessons which we have completely forgotten. The Greek civilization had a profound sense of limits that we have lost, the Greeks had a theory of mechanics (by Pythagoras and Philolaus) through which they could build machines very similar to ours, they did not because you know that going to replicate the Nature was dangerous. Much of their myths say this: that the delusion of human power - hubris - causes fthonos theon, which is the envy of the inevitable punishment. Of course we here at the legendary but the meaning is clear: man must be capable of self-restraint or else goes to meet self-destruction. The title of the oracle at Delphi was "never anything too much." We should then take up some suggestions in the past to correct the very root of this society, to return to the center of the living man and not the economy or the technology, which have always been a marginal part in human life until at the end of the industrial revolution.
You trust in man?
On the one hand I have no confidence in man, the other see it as a be extremely painful, because awareness is the only living creature in a lucid its inevitable end. So there are two elements: the man is so condemned by its very structure (just take the knowledge that man has brought the knowledge to know but then eventually come back to haunt him, just think of all the inventions we created , extraordinary in some respects, that came against us, ultimately), but on the other hand, this is the painful condition of the human being as a being. Who invented it should be hanged.
