Goofynomics

Goofynomics in 10 posts (I’ll try again)

(… making yourself understood is very difficult and by the way it is not even said that it is always useful. However, our ancestors pass on to us that repetita juvant, and therefore I repeat it to you in Europeanese, based on one of the many COMs that arrive on the table …)

THE HIGH CONTRACTING PARTIES (i.e. me)

Seen this blog.

Seen the opinion of its author (ie me).

Considering the following:

(1) The blog, with its 2068 posts, now exceeds, very badly counted, the 16,309 pages, that is (at 2000 characters per page), the 32,619,327 characters, that is, to seven characters per word (considering a space and considering that I tend to use a bit long words: the average up to "long" is 6.13 characters per word, while the statistics give slightly lower averages ), about 4,659,903 words, or 3.68 times The search for lost time ( from which we have plundered entire passages ).

(2) Not everyone has read Proust four times, and therefore, si magna licet , we can happily accept that hardly anyone has read Bagnai once.

(3) Reiterated the fact that not understanding what you read is a fundamental human right, for which the European Union works with particular alacrity by writing illegible rules, and that this blog has protected by adopting a particularly repulsive approach and introducing the category of bliss .

(4) It is therefore necessary to define reading paths that allow new readers to access a humanly sustainable number of articles in the post, possibly linked by a common thread.

(5) In particular, in order to update the Getting started section , it is necessary to enrich it with a political reading path that illustrates for what reasons in the current European context who is animated by a genuine spirit of human and social solidarity towards the most fragile classes and of real openness and acceptance towards other peoples can only side with a conservative party.

(6) This need is increased by the emergence of repeated and insistent episodes of defamation of the work carried out here by all of us, episodes that, in addition to having an answer in the competent judicial offices (where the latest news reports allow us to believe that their penalty), must first of all have an answer on the cultural level.

(7) A previous request in this sense addressed to the community of readers has generated a rash access of bliss referred to in recital number 3, resulting in an unmanageable mixed fry of rambling and verbose expressions of affection without any posting, or in the indication of the most illegible posts because they are more technical and less political, and therefore absolutely unusable for the purposes highlighted in recital number 5.

(8) The analysis of the responses highlighted a clear preference for The novel of the center and of the suburbs and for the rescues that will not save us , although it had been explicitly clarified that this last post, being the first of the blog, would still have been inserted in any reading path, and it was therefore perfectly useless to mention it.

(9) The counting of readers' preferences led to a list of 96 posts (including the first, which had been asked not to consider), corresponding statistically to 219,963 words, i.e. a text situated in terms of size between Moby Dick and Joyce's Ulysses.

(10) Reiterated that those who have not understood so far deserve everything (and in fact are having it), but that humanitarian reasons forbid imposing such a heavy reading path on them.

(11) Remembering that the 95 posts listed (96 minus the first, which in any case is considered included in the path), are, in alphabetical order:

(… tomorrow is the feast of the Republic, and I will be in the square in Avezzano. Make sense of this happy anniversary by helping me to select intelligently – bliss should not be underestimated, but here we need intelligence, which is not intelligence, but of let's talk about this again – posts that can help us de-piddinize those brothers of ours who are currently wavering. The important thing is to give up, and I taught you this, but sometimes it can also be useful to insist … )
