This essay has no title, it is recognized through an isbn code. It is the final part of a trilogy, which also includes “My Continuous Becoming” and “The Omniverse”, which the author himself defines as “a trilogy of thoughts, considerations, opinions, comparisons, hopes, opportunities”.

My comment, written by a person he would call “the usual fool”, does not want and cannot go into the accuracy of the theories disclosed, I can only try to summarize them. The part with which I too agree, because it reflects my own philosophy, is that the individual does not count, nor the species, but rather LIFE itself, which is renewed and never ends. Cortelli adds a unifying force, namely LOVE, capable of uniting and producing cooperation.

In a future utopian society, selfishness and a distorted sense of self would fall, in favor of collaboration between cells for the health of the whole organism, defined as the “system of Complexity.” There would be no more nations, no borders, no properties, no wars, no pollution, no diseases and resources would be available to everyone. In order for this to happen, however, everyone must play his part in the first person, it is only through the awareness, and the correct behavior of the individual, that the planetary change can be triggered especially in future generations. And the first step is individual voluntary abstention from purchasing products marketed by those who do not care about the health of the environment but only their own economic profit.

“Make that individual choice that multiplied by all the individuals on the planet wipes out the system of profit, of multinationals, of lobbies, of rich and poor, of bosses and workers, of rulers and subjects. The whole planet belongs to those who live there and is here, now, forever and ever for US. EVERYONE! The planet has no geographical and political borders except on man-made atlases. “

It is the profit multinationals that manipulate information, operate a sort of collective hypnosis to keep us in subjection. COMMON SENSE must be rediscovered.

“COMMON SENSE that every human being possesses in Nature at the moment of their conception. That COMMON SENSE free from cultural, religious and political conditioning always and in any case attached to anything impermanent, that COMMON SENSE which allows ALL cells to cooperate in LIFE “

This is the overall basis of the book, on which information of all kinds is grafted, mixed in an unorganized way: from the most traditional conspiracy (it is the pharmaceutical companies that cause epidemics, the Americans have never been to the moon, vaccines are bad etc) to an infinity of data that Cortelli has analyzed, read and assimilated as a self-taught, and then transferred without developing and connecting them, so that, he who hates social networks, ends up writing a treatise similar to Facebook posts, complete with quotes among the most widespread on the net. He certainly has a deep interest in and a lot of erudition on the subject, but the result is not homogeneous. In short, Cortelli mixes everything he has read and studied, in ten redundant chapters that look more like notes and reflections placed side by side, rather than a structured whole: a middle ground between the self-help American handbook, “Celestine’s Prophecy”, the denunciation essay on the type of “La casta”, and a personal philosophy. The author, in fact, admittedly, does not recognize himself in any system of thought, neither philosophical nor religious, and does not want to be traced back to it. Perhaps the most pleasing fragments are the poems written for his son. It was fatherhood, in fact, that convinced the author of the need to do something for the future of the world and for the new generations.

I like to conclude by quoting a passage that I agree with and that struck me.

“I want to remind you that for any activity recognized by this type of society, self-defined as civil, studies (…), exams, skills tests are necessary … … while to be parents, therefore protecting those new lives, only the reproductive biological activity is required. This society, this system, gives more importance to driving a moped, a car … … rather than procreating and educating a new life! “

Finally, as regards the style, the text would need substantial editing, as it has many errors, a sometimes fanciful vocabulary and a too exclusive use of punctuation.
