Le vittime del vegetariano

Riccardo Mariani

Adesso · 

Quanti animali ammazza il "vegetariano"? Spesso più del "carnivoro". Alimentare il vegetariano non è uno scherzo, esempio: bisogna adibire a campo il bosco, spiazzare i corvi che se ne vanno in città facendo strage di passeri. Se solo sapeste quanto sangue grondano le carote!

Vegans and vegetarians think they don't kill animals but they do

If you are a vegetarian, you are not responsible for the death of animals, right? Think again. Eating a plant-based diet doesn’t prevent the death of animals. Claudio…

Domande sbagliate:
1) cosa causa l'infelicità umana?
2) cosa causa la povertà umana?
Povertà e infelicità sono stati naturali per l'uomo, sono condizioni di default. Chiediamoci piuttosto come possa mai l'uomo elevarsi oltre il suo stato naturale.

I migliori nell'odio e nell'amore

La religione favorisce sia la competizione che la cooperazione tra gruppi umani. Puo' sia promuovere che combattere la tirannia. Ci rende migliori sia nell'odio che nell'amore. Fratellanza universale e terrorismo possono entrambi essere il frutto del suo condizionamento.

Meditazioni sul contrattualismo. Con un tentativo di riabilitazione

Alcuni equilibri ottimali richiedono un atto di forza per realizzarsi.

Passare da un ottimo locale a un ottimo globale puoi chiedere un altro di forza.

La storia reale della nascita degli Stati, ovvero attraverso conquiste e schiavitù, descrive il posizionamento su un ottimo locale.

La storia ideale degli Stati Ovvero la loro emersione mediante un contratto descrive un ottimo globale.

Il problema dello Stato può essere visto ex-ante o ex-post. Può uno stato essere giudicato conveniente da persone che vivono nello stato di natura? Oppure, può uno stato essere considerato conveniente da persone che dallo Stato di natura sono già passate in modo violento allo Stato politico?

Chi vive nello stato di natura non ha mai sperimentato lo Stato politico. Chi vive nello stato politico non ha mai sperimentato lo stato di natura.

Tupi Guaranì. Indiani d'America.  La fuga dallo Stato visto come il male . Pierre Clastres: la socité contre l' état. Si ubbidisce al capo caso per caso. Sono società in cui si lavora 2 ore al giorno, intesi. La relazione comando obbedienza è aborrita da questi popoli!

Conclusione il tipo di politica che adottiamo è una droga. Ha effetti di dipendenza. Se è così la teoria contrattualistica perde di senso.

L'organizzazione politica e quindi non intenzionale. Weber vince su Hobbes, Rousseau ecc.
