Giacomo Graziosi

Looks like school in Italy is becoming a luxury.
I’d like to talk about two topics on this matter:
1) How much would it be to hire someone to write an high school, or better, a junior high level book? Let’s overestimate this: a full year of work for two skilled graduates. How much would it cost to print a book? As Lulu teaches, not so much. And it is self, on demand printing, mass printing would cost even less.
So, why on earth the fucking government isn’t opening a national publishing house? Is it in the name of the free market? Is it allowed to steal in the name of the free market?
2) Hey publishers: ebooks are taking over! No matter how much will you fight it when you can’t win.
You can fool someone forever. You can fool everyone sometimes. But you can’t fool everyone forever.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Still not in the mood for some real words, listen to this:

Great voice, great song.

I don’t really have any will to find the right words so I’ll borrow Schopenhauer’s ones.

Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.

We forfeit three-quarters of ourselves in order to be like other people.

The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him.
