Non che io sia stato uno studente molto diligente alle superiori, nè che io abbia dato particolare peso alle lezioni di filosofia (cui preferivo lo studio del Fantacalcio), ma qualcosa ho ascoltato e la mia mente, per fortuna o purtroppo, mi propone spesso delle associazioni mentali forse ardite tra la mia realtà attuale e concetti che avrei dovuto studiare al tempo..
Nella fattispecie leggendo gli articoli che si affrettano a smentire yet the theory, much discussed in the last hours, based on the predictability of terromoti possible precursors such as radon gas and generally thinking about how our society and the "science of 'Noantri" tends to accept the new theories on what to at that time was seen as "un-knowable" or "non-explained," I immediately came to mind a picture that made my professor of philosophy at the blackboard on the Myth of Plato's cave.
Now, as I did not understand the connection and did not remember anything but the triptych "cave-wall-fire" Myth me about this I went looking on the internet and here I report a brief description (the myth is more complex and articulated but this seems to me a good summary):
There are prisoners who have always lived in a cave on the bottom of which are related in that they can not turn. Outside the cave is a wall at head height behind which people carry on their heads walking statues depicting objects of various kinds, these people speak and their echo resounds in the cave. Behind these people there is an intense focus that projects into the wall of the cave before men linked images of objects.
they could not see anything, the prisoners, watching the shadows, they think that this is the reality. One of them, however, is free and turns, sees so little statues and one realizes that they are more real shadows, then exit the cave, past the wall and is initially blinded by the sunlight. Then he looks around and sees "the world of nature" and noted that it is all the more true of the objects are projected. Once you have asked where it came from the light, he realized that the Sun is that 'meaning to everything. [SOURCE]
Now I think how those prisoners are only used to looking ahead, while the real world is all around us and gives us' signals that we must learn not to ignore in the name of something that we delude ourselves to know ..
Personally I think that like all natural phenomena including earthquakes follow the law of cause and effect che sono entrambi conoscibili dall'uomo. Credo studiando a fondo le cause o, se serve, le cause delle cause, sia possibile arrivare al punto di poter prevedere i terremoti.
Magari il Radon non c'entra nulla, magari si.. perchè denigrare uno studio invece che sovvenzionarlo?
Tanto più che il Radon, normalmente rilasciato dalla crosta terrestre, ristagnando ai piani bassi delle nostra case provoca tumori ai polmoni , quindi perchè non monitorarne comunque con precisione la presenza?
