Enzo Biagi during an interview with Pier Paolo Pasolini, who argued that television - a medium of mass - was "false" and "alienating", urged him thus:
Pasolini's response was dry, sharp, peremptory and beautiful in the entire Her scandalous truth:
"no, not true. I can not say everything I want. I could not because I would be accused of contempt ... I can not really say anything. And then, beyond that, objectively, in front of naivety or sprovvedutezza of some listeners, myself I would not say certain things. " Pasolini feels, in a public context, to be forced to limit (and wanting to self-limited) because consciously feel a kind of boundary - the Pillars of Hercules of critical thinking - beyond which we can not push; penalty, vilification and accusations of being lynched by the community. Those aspects of a society to which they can not be planted the seeds of doubt without arousing scandal, are enclosed in the domain of the sacred , intended as a reference system which is based on a dogmatic culture. Every culture has the same design concept of the sacred, but it may have different content. It directs the plasma and the people's common sense - is the foundation of moral nietzscheiana of the flock, the same flock "naive and inexperienced" to which Pasolini prefers to adopt an attitude of fear, or perhaps his father, silence (despite this, ventured too - he was then killed). The perverse mechanism that he complained in the interview is the reversal of subject-object: the original free individual, active and conscious is dragged into a dialectical course through the medium of mass that the "alien" objectifies it - the individual becomes receptive , and starts a relationship of total subordination to the mass medium, which evens out the plasma and the object, making the subject. The action that holds the new entity massifying primarily to entrench ever more deeply in the consciousness in the holy faith. In any rough and "helpless" flat soul can always find a place in a totally unreflective an ideal that is beautiful and majestic, almost self-evident , the individual who receives it and is in good faith, not even suspect its total arbitrariness . All this is evident in the fascist period, or in any religious fundamentalism, but is actually a process present in every historical moment, even if it is less obvious, is constitutive of the fact that intimate human tendency to sleep and laziness.
However every man is left to the right of choice. The dialectical process of inversion of subject and object is not in need , everyone is free to take the path of the existence or inauthentic existence that full and complete.
is defined as 'inauthentic existence' to be receptive object, an instrument at the mercy of the dominant forces, is the choice of the flock, where you deny the individual the individual will and intellect to become slaves of an alien will undifferentiated and alienating .
life that is authentic but has two conditions: recognition of one's will as distinct and essential to the success of the ontological entity, or as a way of affirming the oneness of the individual self, which is reflected in the activity creator and destroyer, and the confidence in the intellect as the only instrument capable not only of the direct ' speculation and scientific, but also free to conduct the individual self through the "mystical forest," populated by statues and shadows of the sacred.
The main role that must play the analytical mind is to demystify and thus destructor fictional concepts and hairpieces. The criticism, to be truly such, must consult with all its analytical power and polish to the sacred, which is the glue of the flock, the system of dogmas overpowering, unquestionable and inviolable, and shall cause for scandal, defile - the only way to be totally free and consistent with its role as demystifying, making reappropriate the ego of its deepest and most authentic roots, and making it free.
In this sense we must recover a fundamental virtue which belonged to the Socratic school of cynics, this is the year of
parresia , which is to tell the truth when it caused a sensation in the audience, but also when you run the risks of the text. Socrates, Diogenes of Sinope and Friedrich Nietzsche are three shining examples of majestic and exercise of virtue parresiastica.
