The Mayans developed a series of religious and astronomical calendars that somehow lasted up to a period corresponding to our current year 2012. Joints so that the period of the Mayan calendars fans will just have to get hold of the new revised edition, but it no longer exists such a civilization must instead make do with other calendars.
Only a mind can give birth to the theory of the battered end of the world considering the end of a calendar belonging to a culture and religion have disappeared. Who knows what would happen if our character had prepared the schedule of "Brother guess" which ends on December 31 every year ..
But the mystery lies mainly on the financing of a powerful company like RAI ERI (thanks to the taxpayer in the front row .. ..) that have permission to publish a book and irrational antieducativo.
Among the amazing nonsense published perhaps the most painful is shown on page. 127:
In fact, in the late sixties and early seventies of the twentieth century, the Earth's atmosphere has suddenly made its appearance a growing number of light particles known as " photons. "
Since the photons of the same constituents LIGHT we are forced to conclude that ancient sundials, oil lamps, fires, lit fireplaces, wood burning, lightning, sparks, electric lights, headlights of cars and trucks, lights, lamps lit, the fireflies, chlorophyll synthesis, but mainly the same SUN .. There have never been and all our recollection of them is the unique product of our imagination! In practice according to the shocking truth of humanity has lived Roberto Giacobbo MORE IN THE DARK 'complete and absolute until the seventies!
As above we can formulate two hypotheses: the oracle Jacob revealed the details of an incredible plot to make us believe that the Light had long existed, or the book "2012" is a pitiful attempt to deceive tends to stun people's minds.
I think we can talk about Bullshit. A philosophical essay (original English title "On Bullshit") by way of an essay by the philosopher Harry Frankfurt, originally published in 1986 and only then in Italy in 2005 by Rizzoli.
Frankfurt distinguishes the "crap" from the simple lie. Indeed, while a liar deliberately makes a false statement (ie, knowing the truth himself), he says bullshit ("bullshitter" in English) is simply uninterested in the truth itself.
I "bullshitters" aims mainly to impress their audiences, becoming de facto advisers of crap.
While the liar must know the truth so that it can better hide or disguise, a "bullshitter" does not use any of the truth or the notion of truth. Because of this, Frankfurt claims that " the bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth of the lie .
