The solitude of Leonardo da Vinci : First Part And if you are alone you will completely belong to yourself (Leonardo da Vinci) Everybody knows Leonardo da Vinci. “La Gioconda” is, maybe, the most famous and admired picture of all time. Even the innumerable machines of the Italian genius are well-known. It isn’t so easy to suppose how many publications and studies about Leonardo da Vinci may be found. And yet, in my opinion, I think Leonardo hasn’t really been known in the deepness of his thought.
Rebellious Angels: the fundamental unity of selection, and so of egoism, is neither the species nor the group and not even the individual, but the gene, the unity of heredity (Richard Dawkins-The Egoist gene) The Child as a Product. There is no better investment for any community than put some milk into children(Winston Churchill) The Intelligent Virus: H.I.V. Le mal de vivre: “Oh Critone, we owe Asclepious a cock; give him it, and try not to forget it” (Plato, Fedone LXVI)
REBELLIUOS ANGELS Maybe it was a gene the demon, the angel which rebelled against Nature-God, that made our ancestors commit the Original Sin which emancipated them from any “Divine and Natural Law”. The purpose of the gene was egoistic: to create a robot, a survival machine which could warrant genes, small fragments of DNA, set inside, to survive forever. Maybe the gene was correlated to the development of the cerebral area charged with language (and “the word was made flesh”). For this reason men could, by communicating one another, get the better, first, of great predators which fed on them, later, of all other living forms.
The Intelligent Virus The appearance of HIV and the diffusion of AIDS epidemic don’t depend on chance but are attempts by nature to put a check on the exponential growth of human population(overpopulation). We couldn’t explain, otherwise, the remarkable tactical and strategical abilities HIV proved in overcoming the endurance of his host, in defending himself against his antibodies and in the preservation and world spreading of a viral epidemic(AIDS) turned into pandemia.
