“Si vis pacem, para bellum”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was in high school (it was a Technical Institute) and during the chemistry class one of the professors, one that I remember most affectionately, was trying to explain to a group of teenagers the properties of some materials, in particular the degree of hardness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first place there was carbon, in its most elegant and precious form, the diamond, which in the narrowest possible terms the prof had described to us with a powerful image, one hundred times stronger than a simple chemical formula and so evocative that I still remember it: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Diamond = carbon + pressure + time”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there down various materials, mainly stones and precious minerals, then steel, iron (less hard because the former contains precisely carbon) and so on..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here at a certain point the challenge starts that is worth 10 more minutes of recreation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do you think steel or glass is harder?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Well, easy, steel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no, usually half an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We protested, of course, because no one could ever convince us of this thing yet..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do not confuse hardness with fragility” was his answer..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hardness measures the ability of one material to scratch another, not to withstand a shock!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it would be so eh, I thought and came back from school I did what an ordinary teenager moth would do and then yes, tried and yes, he was right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scratched pot, (with a broken glass) and kitchen window no, an incomprehensible thing like David beating Goliath, or the scissors beating paper, the stone breaking the scissors but.. It is the card that beats the stone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, the strange world of materials, where even if the inhabitants collide hard nobody gets hurt..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the eighties, and the world we lived in was quite easy to understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On one side was America with Rocky, Rambo, the CIA, and the Cowboys, and on the other side the Soviet Union, with Ivan Drago, the KGB and the Indians (who were actually Americans but had red skin) and war was a distant and cold thing, with Berlin and its wall dividing the world in half between good and bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there was the Third World sure, but it was a poor world, which I imagined kind of bronze, like those medals that I thought they were worth nothing and that they were a consolation for the losers, before Benedetta Pilato and his smile of fourth place made me understand, Many years later, that I did not understand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the wall falls, the Germans embrace each other, Reagan and Gorbachev kiss each other, the policy is of disarmament and the horizons are many, wide and possible<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know what to think..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks ago we were talking about the urgency of saving the environment from climate change, so stop the straws, plastic caps and thermal engines, today to invest in defense to create new jobs (you know, soldiers, armies..) and save industry, perhaps converting it into war as in the Germany of the 30s, as if we had not already passed with Hitler or do not remember how it ended..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t call it war economy, no, it\u2019s just “the era of rearmament”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One might think, well of course, America is leaving us, let\u2019s be far-sighted and wise, show that in only 70 years we have grown so much to do it ourselves, we are for once mature and proud, We join our forces and before that if she leaves, let\u2019s ask her to sell us arms for 800 billion euros, since we have not yet learned where and how to shop!

Just to get an idea, it is as if tomorrow morning all European citizens, including newborns, would line up in front of the armories to spend 1,800 euros each.

Now, if it makes you shiver to think that a few years ago Greece was bankrupt for much less, and people literally starved to death because the austerity policy did not allow to make debt, today is perhaps even worse:

First because the plan of rearmament is in 4 years (to the natural expiration of the presidency Trump), second because if Putin has invaded Ukraine it is because he is not in NATO, otherwise he would have been careful of putting a whole continent REALLY against, and third because if the richest (and most dangerous!) man in the world has the obsession with missiles and the most powerful of skyscrapers, at least so far Musk has launched them to Mars and not to Russian!

In short, since we are talking about the prevention of so-called deviance and children walking around with knives inside and outside the school, seeing the destruction of everything that was thought to represent Europe could be even worse than certain violent and viral videos of which we complain so much, of their continuous and repeated pressure <\/em>on the minds of children, their dangerous way of making them hard and insensitive,<\/em> and their false narrative, a little toxic, a little paranoid <\/em>just to stay in the real world, that instead shines from anywhere you look at it, just like a wonderful diamond.

Why is there no hope as long as there is war?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(N.B. The experiment of steel and glass do not repeat it at home, the noise is unbearable and you never know that they don\u2019t make the windows like before\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
