intuition and reason, a reflection on intellectual disability

E 'know that these guys are driven more by the heart from the head. Often they turn to us to be comforted in their decisions dictated primarily by instinct. Sometimes it seems absurd that submit applications for them have a meaning, but which are beyond our reasoning, and others, however, perched over the futility of aback.

A prevailing current of thought that leads from the Nobel Prize in neuroscience, Eric Kandel, turn back the clock of empirical knowledge, argues that many productions that have left a tangible sign were designed more than by reason, by mechanisms that go with emotion. This is evident in the artists, the romantic, the painters who, according to Kandel, testify to the limits of reason.

scholar with a long series of examples (which does not repeat here), shows that the emotional part of the brain is much more refined and complete than logical and rational, because it was "beautifully decorated" by the evolution of the last hundreds of thousands of years is what Jung called "emotional intelligence" of our personality and placed in the right hemisphere of the brain, which is complementary to the other hemisphere who chairs the scope of the 'rational intelligence. "

As in any review even this coin has two sides. It is, according to Kandel, the reason why we cling to the illusion of rationality. In fact, "when the instinct is wrong, bad wrong, wrong, and this makes us feel betrayed." Only then invoke the right. In other words, if the emotional part is predominant, uncontrollable much more than the logical part that is weak, low-volitional, the latter can easily capitulate under the pressure of an emotional storm.

Taking good for the allegations made by this scholar, we must conclude that when our kids come to us to be comforted in their instinctive actions, it is said to be in error. On the other hand to support any research scientist uses formulas, which in turn were preceded by the intuition!

As is the feeling to drive our kids, rather than abstract thought, it is appropriate that their suggestions should be filtered in the light of reason, but unfortunately it is difficult for us "adults", which is often the illusions we have to leave by road a piece, follow this road for what would be necessary, especially with the right attitude.

For these reasons, I think every parent who lovingly follows the evolutionary process of their child, should strive to understand that it is not always good brakes on their suggestions, which could have justified reasons, but that we might escape. From the attendance at these guys I learned that the instinct to leave and to facilitate spontaneity is the best way to follow their own talent, and then the royal road to happiness. So why not imitate them? Why force their nature? Why encourage them to imitate someone else?

Sometimes, without realizing it, some emotional outbursts may assume also means a call for dialogue and review of its thought, therefore, do not accept their spontaneity, especially in the case of an only child, can cause disturbance in their emotional balance to induce manic behaviors.

Explain Contract In Business Agreement

to Naples and the province because the government did not take into account the THOR?

What is THOR? is more than an incinerator, a miraculous invention of the CNR .

In a series of contacts at the time by myself with Dr. Paolo Plescia of the National Research Council (CNR), a prodigious inventor of undifferentiated garbage recycling plant , The scientist assured me that his "device" in its experimental phase in Messina, was placed on the market within the year, namely in 2008. E 'likely that the news did not like the poppies of incinerators, or perhaps because of its simplicity and low cost / income and even the media because, after the interest shown in the first months of that year, THOR has fallen under a blanket of an inexplicable silence.

THOR stands for "Total House Waste Recycling", or complete recycling of household waste, a real hog waste. This is a radically innovative technology, designed developed and made entirely in Italy by the team of Plescia ISMN-CNR (Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials) in collaboration with a private company ASSING of Rome. According to the CNR processing steps undergone by the refusal of the order are: crushing and screening, magnetic separation of ferrous, non ferrous metals separation of eddy current, separation of aggregates by dividing ballistic and eventual separation enrichment of a fraction "compounds" made from rubber, PVC and other plastics heavy grinding combustible fraction of waste at a mill micronized to achieve sub-millimeter dimensions and then refining fuel by ciclonatura. A concrete Esmie its capabilities? Leggiamolo in a note dated January 2008 CNR:
"an urban area of \u200b\u200b5,000 inhabitants produces around 50 tonnes of solid waste per day - inform researchers - with these, Thor, enables to obtain a daily average of 30 tons of fuel, 3 tons of glass, 2 tons of ferrous and non ferrous metals and a tonne of aggregates, and in which 'also includes the chlorine-rich fraction of the waste that is separated to avoid contaminating the fuel. " "The rest of the waste 'water that is expelled as vapor during the process of micronization. The product that comes from Thor and 'sterilized' cause the pressures that are generated in the mill, from 8000 to 15000 atmospheres, determine the complete destruction of bacterial flora and, furthermore, does not produce odors from fermentation remains inert from a biological standpoint, but fuel.

The result of this treatment is the production of micro-crushed by a fuel calorific value comparable to that of coal . During this phase, the water contained in the waste evaporates evaporates even as much of the chlorine (responsible for the formation of dioxins during combustion) in the form of hydrochloric acid which in turn reprecipitates CaCl2 or NaCl salt forms that are taken away from the fuel cycle by nature. This fuel is product in the form of powder which, pressed pellets and can be used in industrial furnaces.
By now the problem is chronic refuse emergency in Campania. Becomes increasingly complex and difficult to solve and nobody ever talked about THOR even in the event. "You run for cover, wipe the hundreds of loopholes left open by previous commissioners, before they accelerate the decay of the thousands of tonnes of rubbish strewn streets of Naples and its province - recently said Bertolaso \u200b\u200b- adding that it was necessary to face up to Crime. The latter, in viewing perspective running out a hearty source of income, setting stakes in the new political course and the resulting poisonous fumes of smoke, making it even more breathable air bell, but THOR never mentioned, not even a line.

Worried about the environmental situation in Campania, Silvio Berlusconi has returned several times to Naples Bertolaso \u200b\u200band it does after each Council of Ministers. But what is surprising was his lack of courage. While it shows, quite rightly, the muscles with military garrisons, it does not take into account, even at the outset, the adoption of this innovative system, much celebrated by the Board of Research.
According to the calculations of experts, as Naples and the province produce 7 thousand tons of garbage daily and THOR in "millstone" 8 hour ", just 36 THOR and a charge of € 72 million to say goodbye to the production of" junk "daily. While grinding with 100 THOR could disappear in just one year to 7 million tonnes of "eco-bales" accumulated over the decades. On balance, at a cost of thirty-three times lower, THOR is also able to get five times more energy per pound compared to a common incinerator that many food storage sites without central heating, separate waste collection, landfill and whatever ' more. In this regard, requested by signed if he had received any proposal from the Government, Paolo Plescia surprisingly answered me: "I do not think you want to have anything to do with politics, of whatever color it is, especially in Campania, where there is already a" floor waste ", which provides the only energy plants and planting. " It also declares (as it properly rejected the claim arising from his invention, according to the DDLS of February 10, 2005 No. 3) has "already given the use of his [creature] in private hands because plants are made for special waste , to entrust to private companies. "
The responses of the scientist, there is no indication of whether the plant has been sold and to whom. In the month of February (February 14, 2008) a press release signed by CEO of ASSING SpA, Renato de Silva, reported that if no other solution was found in the massacre Campano, "ASSING SPA is available to bring its know-how which possible contribution to the solution of the problem emerged.

We are curious to know what has happened since then. Why Plescia and De Silva were secluded in the not to publish their "creation"? What is a failure, or that something else is hiding behind the scenes? Unless, as stated Plescia, their target market have special waste (where the amount to be addressed are children and disposal rates are higher than urban), encompass the investment in less time and with less waste! And maybe the patent sold to some foreign company? in this case would be a sign of cynicism. If so, let it be said publicly.

waiting to know the reason for this unusual black-out, we can only hope that THOR, fruit dell'indiscusso Italian genius, both as first considered by the mainstream media and institutions , at least to see her so much praised performance in the hope that it is able to solve the problem of urban solid waste in our country and redeem the shame that they have defiled its image in the world. It 's a risk that, like Naples, according to Eurispes, many Italian cities can not run, given the saturation of the next landfill and waste enormous speculation that, as a cash cow, feed corruption and cronyism of the worst kind anywhere problem presents itself.

Writers and publishers ...



Interview by Pasquale Giannino on publishing fee, publishing in general and the difficulties facing those who want to become a writer

What does it mean today to be a writer?

The definition of a professional writer assumes that a publisher may believe and invest in the product that is offered and remunerated by the author with a share of the proceeds. Clearly there were - and are - writers who earn very little and who are exploited by publishers (most, actually), but the fact remains that these things should work this way and that, in principle, the author should not never find have to pay to be published.

What kind of message to convey to the readers think?

I think a critical message. I try to make my readers call into question themselves and their way of life. I think a good book should undermine any certainty, turn on some fuse. For example, the last book, "Living to die", which I conceived as a sort of "Dangerous Liaisons" of today, I quote - novels - many of the episodes that have dominated the news in recent years: the blackmail, scandals, the compromises, the escort, and so on, taking a social photography, which tends to warn people from the myths of today and the allure of show business. Not surprisingly, among the protagonists, there is a boy became famous because he won the last edition of 'Big Brother', a young heiress, a paparazzo a wealthy and unscrupulous movie producer.

The stagnant situation in the Italian favors the proliferation of publishers for a fee. What is your opinion?

Many people write me to ask if it's worth to post fee. The answer is always the same: NO. Apart from very rare cases of publishers who ask for poetry modest contributions (under 500 €) any publisher who asks you for money is a "Alone", as they say in Rome. Always. The selection there is flaunted. The visibility there is flaunted. Interviews in TV shows, art fairs, all bales. These publishers never get paid even in the library with their books. Never trust the publishers to charges. The advice appeal to those who are determined to become writers is to not give up, and be patient. They must have something to say, to begin with. They should not expect to center on the first try. Should send their manuscripts to publishers serious, if necessary for years, until a real publisher will agree to publish their work. Many inexperienced writers

they fall into the clutches of characters unscrupulous, ready to bleed them with promises of promotions and services that they can never guarantee: often do not even have a distribution network. In the best cases, the author obtained copies that will sell to friends and acquaintances, but you will soon realize you have thrown away their money. Sometimes, the book will not even printed. Many well-known writers are aware of but, except for very rare cases (Umberto Eco in "Foucault's Pendulum"), prefer to remain silent. Do not you think that "talk" would be an effective way to combat the problem?

I know. And I repeat what I said before: do not ever pay to publish. There is another reason not to "bite" bait publishing fee. The selection that you are forced to face serious publishing a filter is necessary because all that is useless and amateurish is offered to publishers are rightly set aside. In Italy all suffer from the Promotion and all want to be writers. Well, it is right to move beyond a selection in order to use the title "writer", as in any career is to end the university and to overcome various competitions. The equivalent of graduation, for a writer, be published by a publisher who believes they can win in marketing the product that is proposed and then invests in it, and then the author gives a portion of the proceeds. The author should never put a penny. In short, I think ports face (taken for years) are a must of the training of a writer is to get the bark, as they say. I myself spent 10 years before they can publish and know what it means risking the loss of hope. But anyway I would discourage all those who agree to pay to publish. It makes no sense and in most cases it is an unnecessary tribute to our ego and our vanity. There are also small and medium sized publishers who do not ask for money and are still fairly in the area. Might as well groped with those, as well as large publishers. If the quality is there, the opportunity will come. And if it goes well with the first book that is written, then the best thing to do is write another and another and another. The point is to want to groped, groped, groped ... and wait until a door will not open. It 'a kind of natural selection.


The philosopher-mathematician Bertrand Russell includes envy among the leading causes of misery that afflict man and considers it an endemic disease among colleagues. It is perhaps this that makes the writer states so indifferent?

I think the writer claimed not indifferent, but sadly aware that the vast majority of people want to publish a book just because "is cool", and not because it really has anything to say or a story to tell.
What I can say to aspiring writers is this: many people send me some pages asking for a review of their manuscripts, and in 99% of cases they are immature works. You do not become writers from day to day, and if you did not experience the first thing you write is almost never published. The point is: Do not give up, keep trying to write and send their manuscripts to publishers. Certainly also need talent and creativity, properties of language and content, but the difference between those who publish and who is not public and especially in their ability to persevere. Send your manuscripts to publishers real (large and medium), maybe call first to let say if they accept manuscripts on display. Then wait, and meanwhile - if you really want to do the writers - reading and writing. Read the classics, you know what it means to write. Again, the first book is almost never published, mostly for the writer it is a test. Write no hurry to publish. When the time comes - when your text is ripe - comes the fateful phone call from the editor.

The problem, in truth, is more general: a sort of "hazing" circulated to young people - now rampant through new forms of exploitation (graduates hired for three months in call centers, project contracts, etc..) - a phenomenon that affects not only the literary world, but also the professions, employment, finance, research (drain brain), journalism ... Do not you think that young people could be a valuable resource for the country?

course I think. But Italy is not a country for young people - give me the quote from my "Living to die :-)
