HYMN TO COMPLEX THINKING

 


Littleness rages everywhere. Simplifications of long-standing and multi-faceted issues make conversations obscene. The obtuse and ignorant rejection of complex thought impoverishes centuries of philosophical, political and sociological reflections. The dichotomy between Good and Bad, Good and Evil, Yes and No, For and Against, ridicules the debate. The mutation and metamorphosis of values ​​filled with momentary usefulness are vulgar in the presence of the Wises. Reality treated as an independent variable. Rationality and reason brutalized by emotions emptied of feelings and humanity. The "dailyization" of the individual's life cancels the stories of centuries and millennial events. The hundreds of millions of deaths due to war forgotten, or never existed, a bored, useless story that repeats itself wearily. The belly that commands on the head, the gerontocratic power despises the present and the future of the boys. The humiliation of law, placed as an embarrassing tool in a dusty and dark closet.

We need to go back to the fatigue and trouble of analysis, research, study, thought. We need a new complex thought and to rediscover the love of difficulty. We need to drink again from the cup of Aristotle, Socrates, Kant, Descartes, Hegel. We need Brecht's doubt to prevail over the certainties of the idiot.

Only one, supreme, indomitable, imperishable certainty, firm as an evangelical rock: PEACE!
