There is something new in the epidemic of suicides, that is Blue Whale, a “game” bordering on urban legend[2]. Born in Russia Blue Whale is spreading over Spain[3], Portugal and all over Latin America. The game should require the overcoming of 50 tests from the simplest up to the last one that is suicide [4] after getting over a series of self-mutilations. Everything should start when Rina Palenkova, a Russian teenager, is said to have committed suicide after publishing a selfie on the web. The teenager’s photo should become, rapidly, the ikon of a cult group “focused” just on suicide.
Blue Whale should be enough to point out the seriousness of a phenomenon that has been there for all to see for years [5]. And yet, in our opinion, no serious study, above all at an epidemiological character, has been tackled in order to explain the epidemic of suicides.
At present the only theory that can explain the phenomenon is the one of the mechanism at genetic feedback (or at negative retroaction) in human population [6].
The Intelligent Virus’s author hopes that the theory of the mechanism at genetic feedback applied to the epidemic of suicides may, at last, have the attention it deserves.

[2] The search for these groups and their administrators is particularly difficult because any trace is wiped out after every episode.
[3] One od the Spanish groups is just called Ballena Azul.

[5] In Italy suicides of people aged between fifteen and twenty-four years is the second cause of death after car accidents. In the United States suicides of people between fifteen and twenty-four years of age is the first cause of death. (From”The Intelligenr Virus”. Chapter VI Le mal de vivre Note 34, pag.186.
