Humpty Dumpty - Stiamo facendo a chi diventa più stupido We are competing to see who becomes more stupid, in any field, and our inventions do not remedy the paradox. Increasingly foolish among our ever smarter means, we will suffer the law of such means, and they will govern us, much to our disappointment; our heads of state will be their first servants and will lead us into a never-ending slavery. Our means surpass us, and here is what kind of surpassing our augurs promise us; we already observe that our means are growing, and here is what kind of growth they paint for us; between our means and us, there is no longer any common language, and precisely for this reason, the word communication is in vogue; our means drag us, we do not know where, as chaos acquires a new dimension thanks to them, just as necessity does, both at the expense of freedom, which fades into the freedom of uncertainty... and in the end, here we are more unprepared than our ancestors and on the verge of drowning in a sea of contradictions. It took just a few generations to sink the sturdiest ships, and we were the ones responsible for it, only us, not the storms of History. (Albert Caraco, Breviary of Chaos)
