ANGER AND FEAR

The problem is ancient, between the definitions we could take that attributed to Aristotle:

"Anyone can get angry: this is easy; but to get angry with the right person, and in the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way: this is not in anyone's possibilities and it is not easy. "

After two thousand four hundred years the matter has not yet been resolved, we all should, after two thousand four hundred years, be able to get angry in the right way and so on, and we don’t, stuck at the post.

Why is that? Given that it is quite recognized that anger can also be very useful, it is energy made available to a purpose, and only God knows if there are no excellent purposes, universal, that deserve to be achieved: from the good management of the resources of the environment to the elimination of poverty, misery, hunger, the unnecessary deaths of millions of human beings, of children.... the list is not infinite, it is certainly a substantial list.

Today there are some answers, answers that for me are good enough, solid enough to build on it, or at least try, a different path along which to walk, all of us. Pretentious? Conceited? I don't really care about these possible judgments of my peers, I realize that the vast majority of the world's inhabitants are, today, quite fed up with how things are going.

Let's start with the covid-19 coronavirus, otherwise called SARS-CoV-2, not only and not really for the obvious reason that today almost no more is spoken about, but especially because, at this difficult conjuncture of the life of all the peoples and nations of the globe, we find a handheld, incontrovertible, firm and solid confirmation of a possibility that at least some of us have long imagined.

Are we angry? Eh, a little yes, then we make a reason, we mask the issue as a cause of greater strength, as an unpredictable obstacle that has found us (us who? we see it later) unprepared, to mitigate our everyday discomfort, but we do not like it, we do not really like: the freedom of movement severely limited, the difficulty of accessing specialized care, the possibility of being hit and mowed down by the virus, the separation from those we love (for those who still have someone to love), for many the dead ones they cannot cry, the dying ones who can not be accompanied.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 2

For many the burning difficulties generated by the blockade, the reserves of money that burn to survive without earning, the simple maintenance that is increasingly difficult to guarantee to themselves and to those we love, massive layoffs, the job that can’t be found, much worse than before the covid, and also before it was not easy, the black predictions for the next two years: since things, of course, will get worse, worse and worse, the difficulties will increase, and many of us will be unarmed, without defense and protection, not only from the expected and probable return of the virus in a few months, but especially from the difficulties that grow every day in providing for themselves, literally to survive, food, shelter, company.

More than angry we seem scared and helpless, only someone, still not many, gets angry: like everyone, I also have access to the world only through the news published by the newspapers, and I say fortunately there is the web, daily news that concern people who get pissed because they have no money in their pockets to buy food and pull out the gun at the supermarket, get pissed because there are no masks, get pissed because they he can not receive appropriate care, hospitals crowdy and collapsed by covid, because their loved ones can not be adequately cured, pissed-off because the authoritative voices are so many, too many, one day they say one thing in one way and the next in another, completely opposite.

They get pissed-off and threaten the lockdown because there are no protective equipment, and they literally find themselves risking their skin to give service to the community.

To all the pissed-off ones in the world, I would like to convey my deep solidarity, let us unite and do something useful for all communities around the planet.

I am deeply, permanently and irrevocably, pissed-off, fully aware of the motives and perfectly lucid about the recipients, in short, against whom and what.

I'm pissed-off because I'm scared, like everyone else.

Again, not many know, caught in the whirlwind of everyday existence, few know and can understand something more about anger: humans have been so congeded for millions of years, anger is one of the emotions triggered by that even older emotion that is called fear.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 3

Scared, afraid for what? Like all humans, I fear for my survival, for my life, for my way of life, which I like and that I would very much like to maintain, materially threatenedi every single day, as I see threatened the lives and survival of those I love, my son, my brothers, my sister, friends.

Few are today lucid and brave enough to point the finger at obvious and incontrovertible facts, the first of all, the most important in this pandemic conjuncture, is that, in truth and in reality:

the virus is NOT the problem to be solved, not the very first.

Few, and I am among them, have the courage to point the finger not at the more than eighty thousand dead ones, but at the planetary condition of health care systems and organizations: covid is NOT a problem where and when (Korea's example would suffice) the organization of health care has sufficient resources to deal with the contingent problem, without being forced to the dramatic solution of removing the respirator to one to put it to another who has "better life chances", or to have to resort to the “precedence” in any way acquired, thus motivating the rejection of the last ones in queue.

There are not enough resources, that is there are not enough doctors and nurses, there are not enough protective equipments, there are not enough intensive care stations, there are not enough tests and meds, the refrain is always, everywhere that one, not-there-enough-of.

And here I get pissed, fully pissed-off. Yes, how can you not ask yourself: and why are there not enough resources to provide adequate health care to deal with situations that have been widely foreseen, since long time, for decades?

Who and how did the whole planet fail to make the countries and nations, also of that part of the world so-called "developed", effective and efficient safeguard for everyone's health?

Let's recap: are we angry about the right purpose? Yes.

Are we angry the right way? In the right grade? Yes, at least here, we are reflecting, thinking, looking for ways and solutions, we do not have at all in mind to act violently, but we want to find good answers and good solutions.

Are we angry at the right time? Here's maybe a no, we're late, or at least we could be, these things didn't happen in a single day, but, as we'll see, there were good reasons, Reasons that are no longer there today.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 4

Are we mad at the right person? Well, a little patience, we are working on it, the problem is complex, but we have a trace, a solid track: we have to identify who and how caused the entire planet to miss the effective and efficient garrison for everyone'shealth.

Let's continue the hunt.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 5

WHO and HOW

Who and how did the whole planet fail to make the countries and nations effective and efficient safeguard for everyone's health: let us not play games, don’t even try to hide behind the fig leaf of the elusive complexity of the functioning of the economies of peoples and nations, we know how it has happened and continues to happen.

At least we pretend to know it.

Not even the WHO presents particular difficulties of identification, there are lists, public lists, couched by the media, by our newspapers, by Forbes, by Fortune: today, joyfully, the Italian newspapers give news that the richest of the Italian nation is Ferrero, heir to that Ferrero of Nutella, founder of the company Ferrero, who passed away not long ago, indisputable worldwide success, Turkish hazelnuts included.

Nor we have to be economics specialists, nor to have done who knows what special studies.

The Who and How are before our eyes, and there are also those who, authoritatively and honestly and truthfully, have taken the trouble to put together the pieces, reconstructing the connections between history and the May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 6

present, modulating the language to present evidence and findings so that even those who do not have particularly sophisticated cultural tools can understand.

Personally, I found magistral the reconstruction carried out by Noham Chomsky, Requiem for the American Dream, a 2015 movie, lucid and incisive the reconstruction of the mechanisms adopted to maintain and open more and more the gap between rich and poor, between the wealth held by the few and the misery shared by all others.

Precious, punctual, sometimes boring and s little banal the work of Stiglitz, Nobel Prize for Economics awarded in 2001, for more than twenty years warns and warns, see for example " The Price of Inequality: How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future " W.W. Norton & Company, 2013.

Mocking and insulting, but, to what is known today, reliable, and even moderate, the thread unraveled by another fairly recent film, The Big Shot, also released in 2015.

Without having to resort, as we certainly could, to countless studies and contributions to the subject that date dozens, hundreds ofyears, of many authors, our numbers, today's numbers, with some local variations, more or less, tell us that the proportion 10-90, on the planetary level, is reasonably reliable: 10% have and hold the right of access and ownership on 90% of the resources and wealth of the entire planet, 90% have to get away with 10% of the resources.

Since when? Certainly since we started recording who has what and who has not what, a few hundred years... but we can sincerely doubt that before the industrial revolution things were different: going back the course of time, 1500, 1200, 1000, 500, 100 after Christ, and before that, until the dawn of the times of the so-called civil society, 2000, 3000 4000 years before Christ, we guess the

“golden ratio" 1:10 has not changed.

The ways in which, as they say, "we produce" wealth have not changed much the ways in which wealth is distributed,accumulated, and protected.

And we are talking about numbers that describe the "legal" wealth, the one protected by today's legislative systems, letting go of any attempt to consider the illegal one, theoretically not protected by law: let us not kid ourselves, here law means men and women of law, armed forces, legally and physically armed, May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 7

who also and above all have the precise task and objective of protecting and defending property.

Again, the property, the right of access and destination of use of resources, houses, means of production, raw and processed materials, stocks, in short of everything that declines the term "resource". Property that, if not protected with the mighty strength of the armed forces of the states, of the governments, if unguarded, would end up locally disputed between those who claim ownership and those who wish to take over, a contention that would find a solution with the defeat of the weaker of the two contenders.

This was before the founding of the states, before the famous Social Contract.

These are things that, everyone, young and old, literate and illiterate, know, or can easily imagine.

Let's go back to our rich and our poor: the first answer that even a child could give to the question"who and how caused the whole planet to miss the effective and efficient garrison to the health of all", in front of the evidence of the few who have so much and the many who have so little, is not difficult to guess.

The little finger would bet confidently on the group of the rich, rascals and crooks, without a social conscience: the money has been ripped off by them, of course, the resources have been hoarded by them, with this making impossible the job of those who are tasked with protecting our health.

And yes, there are also the resources stolen from so-called organised crime, which is not imaginary or the result of a conspiracy plot, each country has its own, one or many, and there is no doubt that they have their weight: if I do not remember badly the relationship between the GDP of the many states and governments legally recognized and the GDP of organized crime is around 10%, not that little, certainly, but compared to the resounding 90% of the rich, it’s hilarious.

So what do we do? Do we expropriate the rich once and for all? It is illegal, unless it is ordered by those who are legally entitled to formulate and enforce this provision, therefore by governments, which are required to strictly respect the law and constitutional principles of their countries.

I don’t think we really needed Chomsky to discover that the laws, the legislative activity is among the first activities presided over by the caste of the May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 8

rich, of course pro domo sua, promulgating laws and and sneaky new laws, ordinances and circulars that protect them, poor rich people!

It does not take NASA scientists to be able to recognize that the so-called economic power, that is, the group of those who legally own 90% of the planetary resources, is, let's understate it, the key determinant of political power, that is, the persuaders, if not blunt puppeteers, of the more or less picturesque figures that individually or in groups alternate on the political stage, no less than those who wander the corridors and backstage of politics.

We maybe banged our heads when children, but not so much as to have compromised our normal mental functioning, so far we all get there, or almost all, we can all get there, or almost all.

And we know that, in fact, the law prevents us from taking this course of action.

It would seem that the path of the democratic and legal procedure for amending the law only remains, present in many, if not all the legislations of the states of the world... apart from the biblical times we can easily predict, I think we would still go astray.

The knot, definitely and flatly, is not the laws opposed to a "more equitable"

distribution of resources, nor even these poor wretches who make up the small minority of the rich on the planet. Experiments already attempted throughout history, and all failed, they should not be repeated: from the French revolution to the Russian revolution, from the Russian revolution to the Chinese revolution, scraps of our more or less recent past.

And those who rise to propose to "liquidate" the rich, guilty of manipulating the law for their sole benefit and to be protected,with their immense, legendary fortunes, by the armed forces, should not be heard, they should be blocked and cared for, lovingly assisted, until they have recovered the cool use of intellect.

Here, too, it is simple history, nothing complicated: until now the caste of the rich, the mighty, has proved worse than couch grass and bramble, not only as ineradicable as the old good crabgrass, even shape-shifting, able to camouflage itself for a long time so as not to be intercepted, to become as volatile as the immense capitals that appear and disappear every night in this or that country, thanks to our powerful technology.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 9

Almost uncatchable, and even when taken, and expropriated under the law, the void left by the unfortunate, really unfortunate and "expropriated" rich is quickly filled by the next candidate to join the caste, who is there and has been waiting for nothing else for a long time.

On this topic the "lessons of history" are clear, they are like the matter that we know, obedient to the law of conservation of energy: they can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form of rich to another.

They almost look like viruses.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 10

THE VIRUS

I'd like to share a revelation during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species.

I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not.

You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is?

A virus.

Someone might have recognized the monologue, rather famous, and frankly I did not resist the temptation to use it to open this third contribution: a part of the human survival strategy can be described as Agent Smith tells it to Morpheus.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 11

One part, truly a very small part, and we need a much broader framework: the systemic complexity of which we are heirs and evidence is enormously superior to that of viruses. But not unlike viruses, everyone's determination to deploy their own survival strategy has only one way to be stopped.

Rich and poor, young and old, literate and illiterate, male, female and transgender humans, nearly eight billion subjects have in common this emerging property, the vital uncoverable determination to deploy their survival strategy.

If we use the magnifying glass, we can see and identify differences, appreciable differences that identify each living subject as unique and unrepeatable compared to all others.

When we look for similar elements, common to all subjects, we easily find them, of course, given the systemic similarity that underpins and legitimizes the judgment of belonging to one species rather than another: humans and viruses are both biological systems, but it does not take a genius to recognize that they are not part of the same species, at least as we have been able to identify and recognize them over the centuries.

With each generation, with each replication, the roulette of the chromosomal combination, of the copying of the DNA starts again: mutation and evolution go hand in hand, this I understand of the key concept of evolution.

Chromosomal combination can show recessive or new traits, DNA copies can be perfect, or have small variations, all those variations can prove to be valuable "instructions" for the survival of the organism in conjunction with a change in environment, or in relation to a stable but unfavourable environment: so the new or recessive traits, the "error" of copying can prove a winning weapon for survival.

Of course, they can also unfold in actions less adequate, less adaptive than the former dominant chromosomal traits or the original DNA, with this, essentially, putting to death, more or less rapidly, the new organism. They call it natural selection, quite an old-fashioned concept but still in good health, despite its hundred and fifty years.

Viruses mutate quickly, much faster than humans, of which very few and not so significant changes, mutations, have been recorded for thousands of years....

yes, it is true, some have "developed" a more powerful spleen, which makes May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 12

them formidable freedivers. The cerebrum doesn't. Very stable, surprisingly stable.

And that the cerebrum, key element of our neural system, is relatively stable, in its systemic configuration, it’s an extremely relevant fact, for all of us: our complex survival strategies are mainly in there, transmitted from generation to generation.

Invincible, incoercible. To some extent, it must be recognized, they can be modified, “educated”: to some extent, that is, they can be redirected, not blocked, not arrested, not zeroed out, this is not possible, at least according to what we all can observe and the continuous discoveries in the neuroscientific field. But partly redirected, yes.

I am son of farmers, fruit growers, fruit trees are part of my childhood and my adolescence: they grow, continuously, unless the roots are compromised by some beast, or by some poison, unless they can’t find nourishment and water, then they die, they dry, and they no longer grow.

Otherwise they grow, develop branches, leaves, fruits, behave as their genetic code tells them, hormones do their duty: for orchardists this is not enough , fruit plant species that do not require "a hand" to behave are uncommon , from the orchardists point of view. They would gladly do without roots, stems, branches and leaves, they are interested in the fruits, to be harvested and sold at the market.

And instead they have to deal with roots, drums, branches etc., and later, in the end, with a little luck, a lot of luck really, finally, reap the fruits, sell them at the market, collect money, and try to make ends meet.

Some things can be done to educate plants, mainly two: cutting branches, pruning them, and bending branches. Pruning the branches to direct the nutrient sap to other branches, the lymph circulation can not stop. Bending the branches, tending to carry them horizontally, since it is usually more likely a fruiting bud emerges from a horizontal branch, thanks to the intervention of some hormones that "work" when the branch is horizontal, and work much less when it is perpendicular to the soil.

In short, the plant "knows" that it is "better" to put the fruit on a horizontal branch, it will fall farther from the stem, it should find soil in which to root and May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 13

develop a new plant, more light, it will not have to fight with the branch to have space in which to grow.

But the plant also “knows” that it must survive, and so it develops mainly branches that go up, to catch air and light, indispensable to its life: the fruit growers don’t appreciate this, and so either bends the branch that would tend to go up, to the sky, or cut it, knowing that the sap will go to feed other branches.

And the plant resigns itself.

They are both operations of a certain complexity, which orchardists have learned to perform over the millennia, with appreciable results with regards to the increase of plants productivity.

Even compared with plants, wonderful organisms, we are much more wonderful, enormously more complex: but also for humans the law remains that of viruses, and of plants, biblically summarized in "go and multiply".

Even humans obey, almost blindly, some laws, genetically handed down, inscribed in our neural system: in short, we are configured, systemically configured, to deploy some key actions, we see them every day, we all know them.

The first is protecting one’s own systemic and physical integrity, by any means… and these means are so many

The second is predation, by any means that allow us to feed and protect our organism: the triggering commands are associated with hunger, suffering, pain.

The third is to guard the sources of "supply", the forms are many and different, multiple, from attachment to mother, to stocking and segregating.

The fourth is the coupling, regulated by a "strategy" tending to monogamy with possible, even frequent, exceptions.

The fifth is the association to our fellows, or their variants, many forms here too The sixth is the protection of the community of which we are members and of the offspring, I don’t even try to list the first possible forms The seventh is to find one's rank, one's place in the pecking order of the community we belong, the higher the better

So far we are and remain on a level that we might call primary, in which our lives unfold without the need for thought: human thought, wonder of wonders, May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 14

is made possible by our extraordinary neural system, the sub-systems that allow us to generate thought also present incoercible determinations, and we will have to deal with it.

Enough what we put on the plate so far, enough to understand that we are dealing with an evolved variant of the virus, pandemic for millennia, structurally incurable and irrepressible, if not ending the very existence of the whole of humanity.

Enough to conclude that living with our fellows, as soon as we leave the narrow confines of the real communities to which we belong, increasingly small, is a problem very difficult to solve.

Enough to understand that the rich and the poor are only side effects of our incoercible need to deploy the actions that our genetic code proposes to us with the same force as the command to breathe.

However, the (non-alternative) facts of these weeks are proof that we can contain this particular, native pandemic, that we can achieve conditions of good existence for our entire species, which is, in fact, today in an even more evident and irrefutable way, a single planetary community.

PREDATION AND PROTECTION – CURRENT

MEASURES FOR THE HOMO SAPIENS VIRUS

Let's take a look, bird’s eye, where the needy obedience to each of the laws that guide the human acts leads, and to the main bulwarks and presidium placed to limit the negative effects of each law, in short, what protocols of prevention, containment and care have been prepared.

Each law can be seen as the description of a point, of a mode of attack of the virus, let's start from the first: protect its systemic, physical integrity by any means, on the primary level.

And I would say also its own mental integrity, much more difficult to describe, given the miserable absence of a shared scientific model of the human mind that keeps us away from the inspired nonsense of the most widespread romantic or mystical conceptions: this point must be postponed.

Everywhere, the limit placed on each human is the direct damage to the physical integrity of others, except in the delicate case of self-defense: I can defend myself, at least try, when I am attacked, when my life is at stake, but not disproportionately with respect to the magnitude of the attack.

The excess of self-defense is severely punished, and we can consider such also the wilful murder, a kind of peak of the excess of "legitimate" defense: the May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 16

murders have motives, the motives are all attributable to the protection of themselves, individuals and groups of allied individuals, of accomplices.

Despite the diversity of form, the different laws of nations and peoples have long aligned on this principle: the effectiveness of the deterrent, prophylactic and repressive actions of these conduct varies greatly from country to country, but, in principle, this is it, at least in terms of how to deal with individual and small groups behaviours.

Different kettle of fish is the conduct of the different governments of nations, armed wars and "commercial" wars are widely deployed, are frequent actions,they have dotted the history of any people, and still they continue to dot our daily news.

And we're not there.

Not even the trade war, recently intensified, but never disappeared from local and planetary scenarios, is justifiable, to the extent that, in direct and indirect ways, it generates the effect of affecting the chances of survival even of a single human being: in simple terms, not only to make him starve, even just prevent him from a dignified existence.

The wars, armed and commercial, the destination of immense resources to the parties that support both, are one of the roots that have taken away the resources necessary to adequately deal, only with the constraints of the current best scientific knowledge and the tools at our disposal, with the current covid19

pandemic.

The wars, armed and commercial, the destination of the immense resources to the apparatuses that support them, a hallmark ofall, but precisely all governments of all countries, are one of the roots, mighty and imposing, that feed the complex mechanism that continues to keep nailed the proportion 10%-

90%

To put it in a polite and kind way,we have a lot of work to do to improve the garrison to be opposed to the nefarious, deadly effects of many behaviors, individual and collective, supported by the first law to which the homo sapiens virus obeys.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 17

Stylish, right? I mean, enough, at least... but it does not escape anyone that the answer to how to improve the garrison of wars, realistically, is one and one only.

The second law: predation, in all forms that allow us to feed and protect our organism

We can also consider predation our simple breathing, even if we normally consider it a natural act: we take resources that we need, that are indispensable, from the environment, taking them away from other subjects, human and non-human.

We can consider predator the newborn that sugges, appropriates substances that belong to another organism, although neither of the two elementary actions described so far is considered a crime.

All human activities of extraction, cultivation, breeding constitute themselves as predatory activities, and so all activities related to the transformation, whatever it may be, of what has been preyed upon.

Any predation encounters natural obstacles, such as the action of another stronger or more skilled predator, or social obstacles, such as rules that address property issues.

Very sophisticated rules, supported by the partition and distribution of lands, waters, skies, at the borders of each nation, at the borders of each property legally recognized within each nation.

Rules concerning the acquisition and transfer of property, of any property, an inextricable jungle, which occupies the vast majority of all laws of the world.

Boundaries and rules governing predation, clearly distinguishing between acceptable behavior and criminal behavior, gathered under the huge umbrella of theft.

Theft is not allowed, it is a crime.

In fact, with many grey areas. The most striking, today, are tax havens, countries, and there are not a few, who live substantially off the proceeds of complicity in the theft constituted by legalized tax evasion and avoidance.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 18

Very flashy shadow zones, let's say exceptions, better, frank violations, in our recent and remote past, are made up of the actions of all those governments that have exited in achieving and perpetrating genocides, a chapter that almost no one willingly deals with.

Not much smaller variants are the massive land and subsurface resources exploitation operations carried out by more or less large business groups in the least developed countries of the planet.

We could continue, for pages and pages, and we won't, not now, we have a lot more work to do..

The connections between the "presidium" to the second law and the garrisons to the first, third, sixth and seventh laws are more than visible, let us resign ourselves from the fact that we will have to take up many of these aspects later: here the central point is the borders, and the convergence of all the laws on border protection, on the defense of borders.

Even for these garrisons, it applies what we have observed for the previous ones: they are other powerful roots that devour resources, including resources that could be allocated to "front of the coronavid19 emergency", which we know to be not, but endemic condition.

They are other powerful roots that feed the monstrous machine that nails and makes irresolvable, unchangeable the 10%-90% proportion.

Are these be improved too?

Here too, as for the previous law, but it does not escape anyone that the answer to how to improve the garrison at the borders, realistically, is one and one only.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 19

PROPERTY – CURRENT MEASURES FOR THE

HOMO SAPIENS VIRUS

The crow hides the food that does not consume immediately, taking care that his fellows do not see where he hides it.

The human repertoire of actions aimed at protecting the sources of supply of what is judged to serve one's own survival is very extensive and articulated, compiling even a first provisional list is a huge work, impossible to deal with here.

We are only at the third law, and already the interweaving of the general lines of action and of what limits them, contains them, which we have seen for the previous ones and which also recur here, in the garrison of supply sources, risks confusing our sight.

The limits set by the rules and laws, as we have seen are flexible, they depend on governments, the boundary between the conquest of supply sources and their May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 20

protection is mobile: it is easy, in the simplest cases, in theory, what the individual or groups can do, it can’t violate the limit of the boundaries of property, it can’t violate the physical integrity of other human beings.

But... the boundaries of the properties are legally modifiable, according to the rules that gradually the caste defines, Chomsky docet, Stiglitz as well.

As for the physical integrity of other human beings, environmental disasters have not been invented, CO2 is not really a fairy tale, not even the extinction at a rate of thousands of species every year, of the last few decades.

And not that we don't know what we SHOULD NOT do to avoid environmental disasters, to eliminate the greenhouse effect, to preserve the variety of species: it is that, with an outstretched arm and a swinging palm, the best estimate we can make is that producing what we need to live with dignity, according to the current rules, respecting the balance with the environment, would excessively erode the profit of each activity, in fact slowing, if not blocking, the

"mechanism" of accumulation that hesitates in the granitic 10%-90%.

Perhaps even forcing people to abandon activities, as they would be unprofitable, no matter if they are considered vital to the human community...

the health sector is an excellent field of exploration, we will have to postpone.

And so, powerless, more or less muttering, we see continuing to allow, if not even encouraging, the use of coal, the delirious trafficking of transport of raw and half-finished materials from one continent to another, to serve production units that better guarantee the growth of profits, and the progressive spread of scissors between rich people and poor people... just to give a couple of examples.

It is not from today that in every country, in every nation, beyond what can appear from the outside, the right to property is supported and protected, and therefore, at least formally, guaranteed the protection of that right.

It is clear that no one wants to see their living space violated, our territory, more or less small for most of humanity, to be forcibly taken from what we have managed to achieve, perhaps working honestly: for90% of the world's population, the first operating limit of the protection of resource sources seems to coincide with the borders that mark the property, just as if not better than protected, of the remaining 10% of the population.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 21

Ownership of Chinese billionaires is guaranteed: but how would Chinese billionaires exist? They're communists, no, it's impossible for them to exist.

Instead, they do exist.

In the same way, the protection of the ownership of each of the citizens of the so-called evolved nations is guaranteed, regardless of the quantitative measure of ownership.

And with that, the right to do what he wants, with some limits, but relatively slack, to what we can see, and especially given the effects that are before our eyes, including everything that is needed to increase the resources, the richness at their disposal.

With what limits? Few, bland, and in time adjustable... true, there is, in many places of the world, the antitrust device, not in all, to prevent the formation of private oligopolies or private monopolies, or, as they say, the abuse of market dominance.

As we recognize there is a very strict legislation prohibiting concussion and bribery, concealment of capitals: we are full of regulations, at least we demonstrate, not everywhere, goodwill.

Regulations and laws constantly circumvented, and not by little smartass who handle a few thousand or tens of thousands of euros, eh no, we are talking of dizzying sums, we see it everyday, and we know that it is only the tip of an immense iceberg.

Just to give me some figures, I went to look for some data on the proportion between public property, at the service of all citizens, and private property, technically in the service of specific citizens: I struggled a little to orient myself in the babel of calculation methods (first answers that appear on the net), until I landed on a couple of documents understandable to me.

Let us leave alone the financial property, floating, mobile, shelling, which also constitutes a form of wealth, of the property of enormously relevant resources, much more than physical, movable and immovable assets.

The heritage of our state, the Italian state, including movable and immovable assets, cultural assets and assets of artistic value, piles about 300 billion euros: the only private real estate property piles more than 8,000 (eight thousand) billion euros.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 22

8,000 (eight thousand) billion of which, if I am not mistaken, a recent census revealed the distribution of property: 20% (about) of Italian families officially owns 80% of the real estate. How many they are, actually, it is not given to know: in theory the law prohibits the use of figureheads, in practice, you know, things do not work like this, taxes do not really like.

Who wants to bet that, if we take into account the real owners behind the figureheads, we find 10%-90%?

I don't think we're here.

The measures taken to limit the unquestionable damage of the little or no contrasted course of action that guides humans to protect the sources of their own survival, here considered in the form of the right to private property, personal property, prove, in fact, totally inadequate, on a planetary scale.

We are dealing with private property, to the extent that it constitutes one of the quintessential forms by which the protection of the sources of survival of each individual is achieved, with the institution of private property, the rules that define its legitimate use, and the rules that are actually, really, followed..

Transfer, acquisition, transmission, and, with these, concealment, such as crows, concussion and bribery.

Seriously, do we think we can "improve" the management of the property, as it is conceived today? Seriously, do we think we can, with tenacity and determination, erase and eradicate concealment practices, corruptive and concussive practices?

In our heart, let me pass the sweet and romantic term, we know that the solution is there, and it is one and one only.

MATING – CURRENT MEASURES FOR THE

HOMO SAPIENS VIRUS

The fourth law we all obey is mating, regulated by a "strategy" that tends to be monogamous with possible, even frequent, exceptions:what is the state of the art?

I anticipate possible objections, concerning a minority of the population of our species, but diversity is wealth, potentially generating evolution: not all subjects of our species mate, and those that mate do not necessarily do so in view of the generation of offspring.

The vast majority of humans mate, and here we exclude, deferring to when we will reflect on the fifth law, all the aspects directly related to the offspring.

We certainly include, in our observations, all human subjects, regardless of their specific sexual orientation.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 24

How our sexual behaviors work, and why, it have been said in many, written in many: for our purposes I consider sufficient and acceptable what elaborated by a well-known academic and popular science author, Jared Diamond, to whom I refer more than willingly, specifically to the second part of one of his good works of some years ago, The Third Chimpanzee1.

Although the mentioned study is explicitly related tol heterosexual mating, we can recognize that those lines describe the other types of coupling with sufficient precision. l

In many countries of the world, the freedom to mate according to one's sexual orientation is severely coerced and restricted, openly and often violently, even legally prescribed, when dealing with non-heterosexual minorities.

And even where the law recognizes equal rights, and prohibits, on paper, any discrimination based on sexual orientation, life for non-heterosexual minorities is hard.

Heterosexuals get better, but again there is no shortage of sanctions and duresses, both accepted in formal, national and international family laws, and exercised in homage to local "customs", for example with regard to the conduct to be held with respect to extra-marital relations.

The exercise of violence, brutal, physical violence to force mating is generally sanctioned, in most countries of the world: but not in all countries, and not always even in the others.

Theoretically much more difficult to identify (practically it is not) we found two other "illegal" behaviors: the first is the exercise of non-physical violence.

The number of legal issues against celebrities, accused of taking advantage of their position to obtain sexual favors from partners otherwise not available to grant such favors, have recently exploded, well-known formulas: if you want to make a career, if you want to be in charge of, get that good status, if you want to become ABC, then you...

We know that the number of cases of this kind is vastly higher than that reported, infinitely higher, it is a practice that is widespread and hypocritically criticized in public and accepted, often cynically, in private.

The same course of action adopted in relation to so-called friendships of interest, forms of sexual "low dosage" mating, but still mating, which very often transfuses in the second, very well-known, and generally not permissible by law, complementary behavior to the abuse of position.

It is generally called seduction, the "free" offer of sexual favor in exchange for career, prestige status, etc., recognisably a substantial variant of the less welcomed (in public) prostitution.

It is clear to us that we are dealing with limits (and concessions) that, yes, have to do with the mating strategy of humans, but that actually regulate the intersection of mating strategy and caste membership, rights of access to resources, survival, protection, in short all the repertoire that we have identified in relation to the government of obedience to the three previous laws.

Complex, there's no doubt about it. We can simplify a bit. In summary, it is the intersection between human mating strategy and all forms of current, largely legalized, property management.

Child brides, arranged marriages, burlesque in elegant dinners, pornography, legalized and non-legalized prostitution, abuse of position, seduction, sexual corruption, rape of war, the list goes on, are the specific fruit of that specific intersection.

And no, I don't think we're here.

Let's leave aside the not insignificant aspects related to the generation of offspring, we’ll see them later, we keep the focus on how the expression of mating, independently from sexual orientation, is "treated".

And the obvious repercussions that the current order has on the development, maturation, deployment of all the other potentials of each human subject.

It is difficult to dispute that the free, non-violent (and this aspect certainly must be carefully guarded), consenting (more difficult to preside over,but not impossible,not with the current technologies available) expression of mating according with any sexual orientation, at any age, is a condition to be pursued since intrinsically generating good fruits, individual and collective.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 26

It is difficult to dispute that what is usually expressed in common language with

"free self-expression", is a formidable motivational driving force, and simultaneously a direction in which many of the energies available to each subject can be conveyed, with fruit and benefit of the individual and the community.

It is difficult to dispute that the free expression of one's sexual orientation is a considerable proportion of each person's self, throughout life.

It is impossible to dispute that orgasm is among the most desired and desirable rewards of human acting, intrinsically and irrevocably intertwined with the expression of one's sexual orientation.

And we see no sound reason to inhibit or hinder its research and obtaining, which is, moreover, easily obtainable well within the limit of the resorting, certainly prohibited and to be prohibited, to violence.

Are we talking about love? We will have to talk about it, and a lot, but not here and not now: here we only deal with some aspects that we can identify as systemic premises to the unfolding of love events, with the precise aim of separating and clearly identifying which aspects relate to obedience to the law of mating, and which do not.

All the deleterious aspects and forms that we have seen sticking, related to the mating strategy, have little to do with this or that sexual orientation, with obedience to the fourth law.

They certainly have to do with the search for good or better conditions of survival and possibility of reproduction, and with the forms of containment and management related to this, as we summarily described in the former posts.

The history, ancient and recent, is full of the evidence of the results of attempts to eliminate what we can, must, consider perverted forms of obedience to the fourth law, child brides, arranged marriages, burlesque in elegant dinners, pornography, legalized and non-legalized prostitution, abuse of position, seduction, sexual corruption, war rape, etc.

So far, in short, a total failure.

We now begin to understand, I think, with increasing clarity, why, over the millennia, we have not succeeded: a trivial diagnostic "mistake", we have taken May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 27

them for phenomena that arise autonomous and independent, to be countered individually.

We begin to have elements that allow us to see these perversions for what they probably are, side effects, symptoms, expressions of other, other left and kept in the shadows.

And it is on this other, partly obscured to date, that we will probably have to act, in short, intervene on the root of the bad plant that prejudices and spoils the work and the harvest of our species, and get rid, at once, of dozens of harmful side effects.

Increasingly aware of the impossibility of depriving ourselves of any of our deep roots, on pain of our death, and of the need to wisely govern its nurturing and development, variants of the primitive nourishment, cut and bend,in order to be able to grasp the fruit of the good coexistence and survival of the planetary community we all belong to.

INTERLUDE – A DREAM

Meanwhile, out there, things happen, in our country and all over the world, the rumour around the coronavirus is incessant, the European quarrels about the nature of the economic aid to be provided in the face of the continuous hemorrhage of gdp, whether they should be non-repayable or loan-sharking , do not subside, and certainly does not lack those who, with greater or lesser credibility and audience, peremptorily indicate the new way to follow.

Yes, according to them, this crisis is a great opportunity for change..

Someone says "support non-profit companies and ethical banks" (Muhammad Yunus,Nobel PeacePrize), someone says that what we need today is a good vaccine (Bill Gates, known epidemiologist), someone says make effective and safe smart working, teledidactic and telemedicine, guarantee privacy, protect online lessons, medical records, banking systems (Roberto Cingolani, physician, member of the government task force).

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 29

Someone says fight for peace, the only fight that makes sense (Manuela Dviri, writer and activist), someone says the industrial revolution is now at sunset, democracies defend social protections and workers' rights (, Maurizio Molinari, new director of the Repubblica, the newspaper) comforted a couple of days later by Eugenio Scalfari, the almost centenary founder of the newspaper, who, with a sure eye and calling in the field Cavour, Montaigne, Descartes, La Boetie, and Pope Francis, points the way of liberal socialism.

On the way of "not back to what we use to be " we find the Italian Stefano Boeri and the Nobel Prize for Economics Joseph Stiglitz, both zapped by the light of the need for informed, aware and mobilized citizens, both singing a hymn to conscience.

A few years ago there was a joke: consciousness is like the sexual organ, it gives birth to life, or it piss.

And on the people capacity of civil conscience lies the black shadow of the enormous difficulty that humans encounter in distinguishing, clearly separating, facts from opinions: among the latest evidence, the Invalsi tests show a ratio of one in twenty, 5% makes it.

International audience even to those who indicate to get injections of bleach (Trump), and to those who indicate in gay marriage and abortion the presence of the devil (Ratzinger).

We've come a long way, a lot of it has to go, but we know enough to see, now, that by following those directions we get, at best, what we get today now. We're not there.

We know enough to begin to see, on our horizon, towards what goal we are heading, towards which regulation of coexistence between the subjects of our species.

We must and can devise what it takes to ensure that we and our children, our loved ones, others, all others, their children and their loved ones, from womb to tomb, a dignified quality of life, constantly maintaining the balance between the reasonable equality of conditions and the reasonable recognition of differences.

Differences in the configuration of the needs of each individual, at each stage of development, at every age, of the different type and degree of help and support May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 30

that each person needs to deploy own abilities, talents, living and acting with others so to be able, in turn, to help and support others.

Differences in the degree of expression of similar abilities, since it does not seem possible (we will talk about it later) to ignore, obliterate, confrontation and competition: we must and can make this irrepressible inclination, potentially generating factor of good fruits, help and support the life of each and all.

We've been beating around the bush for a while, we can't deny that many knots are formed, inextricable and stringent knots, around the management of property, the right to property, and the expression of that right.

It is a vital ganglion, it cannot simply be cut, or removed, it must find adequate location and possibility of good expression, carefully avoiding that it can ever again transform and feed what we have today, every day.

Before our eyes we have the disproportion between rich and poor, one to a hundred, we have deaths from hunger, from insufficient medical care, for insufficient knowledge, for fratricidal wars.

And there, where we want to go, this must not and cannot exist.

Before our eyes, we have the effects of the exercise of violence, material and social, on minorities, on communities, on groups, on individuals, men and women, especially on women.

And there, where we want to go, this must not and cannot exist.

There, where we want to go, every single identity is recognized and respected, we do not need passports, customs, territorial borders have pure geographical value, nothing more.

Spoken languages and dialects are many, since the diversity of language is, immediately, diversity of thought, potential wealth to be preserved, but each speak and think also in a common language.

The wit of each and all is used to put back and maintain in good balance the survival and life of our species with the environment, considered in all its many and complex aspects.

May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 31

Study, reflection, the growth of knowledge is not only guaranteed for all, but it is a lifelong commitment, permanent, dosed, but abundant and continuous activity of each and all.

Thousands, perhaps tens, hundreds of thousands, are the minute aspects of the life of each one and of the life of the planetary community we belong, and of each one we can and must take care, knowing and accepting our limits, and well aware of our constraints.

Even of the apparently, to now, invincible propensity of some to misbehave, independent and perhaps insanely connected to forms of real and virtual survival, devastating and devastated... although we can trust that, once the ganglion of the property is harmonized, ensuring that everyone has the help and support they need, from womb to tomb, we will see almost all crimes and criminals disappear.

Most of them.

We must and can successfully deal with the exercise of strenght, not only in the transition phase, but also after it.

And even if we will not see anything achieved, well, it does not matter, we will still have spent our time, here, now, in these readings, in these reflections, in the studies and in the insights that we can and will do.

We have and will have spent our time regenerating and guarding a dream of a human community lost for too long, of the possible peaceful, solidary and cooperative coexistence within the entire human community, coinciding with the set of all the members of our species,in every place on the planet..

A possible, reasonable, achievable dream, to be delivered to our children.

A dream that helps us and supports us in measuring with sufficient precision the distance between what we see and what we really need, in identifying with rigour and truth who, in good or less good faith, points out a path that leads to fuel the current disaster, and who tries to go in the good direction that we have found, good for everyone and good for all.

A dream that allows us to read the infinite nonsense that is said and written everywhere, without limits and criticism, acknowledging them for what they are, nonsense: spoken and written by the powerful of the earth, and no less by May 2020 © Ugo Bonora - Angry - page 32

ordinary people, all prisoners of the nightmare that coincides with the current reality.

In the end, a dream is a project needing some dates, nothing else.
