More on Epstin

Although I am reluctant on principle to concern myself with things that others obviously desperately want me to concern myself with, I'm starting to think that perhaps this is something we should pay attention to, as it seems to be spreading like wildfire , so much so that even if it were a weapon of mass distraction, it would probably be getting out of hand.

Palingenetic narratives (“the system is collapsing1!!!1!”) leave me as cold as irenic ones (“Europe has given us Peace11!!1!”), the topic of sexual scandals fails to excite me in any of its versions (you will remember, as a mere example, that when I was on the left I said verbatim that it was futile to attribute our problems to Berlusconi’s sex ), the topic of suicide that wasn’t suicide we file away along with the many truths that conspiracy theorists arrive at before the PD (I remember at the time reading a learned dissertation on poor Epstin’s hyoid bone and how its breakage or non-breakage proved that the suicide hadn’t been suicide: I’m always moved by my ability to remember things I don’t give a shit about!), and yet, since this is the narrative now, we will have to deal with it!

Let's do this: you do it for me, as I have a pretty busy weekend. Tomorrow I'm in Arona, at the General Assembly of the Economy, to discuss austerity, the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), European debt, and the Capital Market Union (the much-maligned Giorgetti will also be there). On Saturday I'm in Vicenza, to discuss complementary currencies (another topic, like sex, a magnet for lunatics of all kinds!). All things you already know, all events subject to the usual clause (whoever comes does me a favor, and whoever doesn't does me two). About the rest, I have only one certainty: just as I haven't been dossiered by the Finance Police (perhaps…), for the same reasons I would be very surprised to be mentioned in Epstin's files!

If that's not the case, please let me know: I care!
