…peace is over: we exist!

A couple of days ago someone reported this agency to me:

which obviously means that someone else had read this post .

I have never doubted the ability of the Debate to influence debates: it was evident in many aspects, both in form (the prominence suddenly given to the "blog form" by our losing competitors) and in content (and here the examples would be wasted: practically every QED of our blog originated from the "press"'s admission of something that had been stated here years in advance). The fact remains that, as far as I know, this is the first time that the blog has been explicitly cited as a source by a press source .

Honestly, I don't know whether to be happy or worried about it.

They (as Luciano would say) know very well how to win the information war: silence is the best form of communication, and the fact that they have decided to deprive themselves of it is a fact that must be interpreted. Whoever arrives here finds an alternative vision of the world to which and above all for its being fiercely fact-based . It is not exactly what those who govern the flows of information want to convey to the final recipients. Could it have been a matrix glitch ? We will see. One swallow does not make a summer, says Science (Aristotle, in this case).

What is certain is that we had more fun, we were more free, when we didn't exist. Now that we exist, if we exist, we must be careful how we move. The fact remains that being monitored would not only distort our nature: it would bore us!

Life is too short to take that risk.
