We believe in only two gods: Saaalute and Scieeenza

We have the illusion of living in the most disenchanted, intelligent, rational and, it goes without saying, "scientific" era ever. And instead we have the level of credulity and superstition of a native of Borneo, a Neolithic primitive or a nursery schoolboy. With all due respect, of course, for the natives, primitives and schoolchildren. Which, if nothing else, were, and are, naive "justified": for reasons of latitude, age, registry office.

But we? We, the children of Science and the faithful of Saaalute, should be vaccinated – regardless of Pfizer and Astrazeneca – of any irrational belief. We should be the "adults" of the historical process, the "big ones", able to understand if someone manipulates us. But no. Nothing has changed since Neolithic times, nothing is different from a tropical tribe or a kindergarten playroom. The strategy for keeping humanity on a leash hasn't changed at all. Only, they hypnotized us with different totems and taboos. No longer the god of thunder to kneel for health and knowledge. Rather, Saaalute and Scieeenza, as divinities to prostrate in order to obtain the right, indeed the privilege, to survive.

What is striking – to certify our frightening obtuseness – is that we are willing to believe everything, and on the contrary of everything, if it is passed off as an "edict" of Science, or as a "sacrifice" on the altar of our Saaalute. . Think of the virus, masks and vaccines. At the beginning, we considered the disease a parainfluenza disease (to be exorcised with a spritz in the center) because so the science said. In the name of Science, Speranza reassured us: "Enough alarmism and fake news, contagion is not easy at all". And all to laugh, toast and nudge each other.

Then, evidently, Science – which progresses at a rate directly proportional to that with which our intelligence regresses – has changed its mind, Speranza has changed its mind, and everyone has changed its mind. Just like the cavemen when the shaman promoted the last contradictory will of the thunder god. And we want to talk about the masks? Go to any pharmacy and you will still find the leaflets of last spring with the anti-Covid decalogue hanging there. At the seventh point it is written to use the facility only if sick or in contact with sick people. The science said so, for the sake of Saaalute, you understand?

And Speranza pontificated on how the indiscriminate use of masks was unfounded "on a scientific level". Then the god of thunder, or rather the Scieeenza – more fickle than a summer storm – evolved, and the counterorder was triggered: masks also outdoors and, soon, also to make love. And the vaccines? The ISS website reads: "The production of a new vaccine follows the same development phases as a potential drug and also takes a very long time (up to 10 years)". But suddenly, the science took a small step for man but a gigantic step for humanity and the experimentation time was reduced to three months.

In short, we are indigenous, primitive, brats. Under the slap of two totems more hysterical and angry than the god of thunder: the Scieeenza and the Saaalute. At best, their priests are suckers oblivious to what real science really is and what the scientific process really consists of. Convinced that Karl Popper is a Bayern Munich center forward and Thomas Kuhn a new proposal from Sanremo. At worst, far more likely, they are corrupted by those who know perfectly well what science is. And also how to subvert its meaning to impose a social revolution. Maybe even a nice regime. And we, all lined up – confident in Science, stuffed with Saaalute – in a penitential procession towards the abyss.
