"Earthquake in Japan, the alarm goes nuclear. 2000 people evacuated residents near the center of Fukushima. Umberto Veronesi provides his garden. "Fulminant The bar appears on the site www.danieleluttazzi.it . A terrible earthquake, such as Japan, hitting the highest level in a country that bears all the contradictions of development more stringent, is an event that speaks to all companies and makes them think about their future. Talk to us in Italy. The most serious nuclear accident in Fukushima for example, tells us unequivocally that the fraud of the "safe nuclear" is one of the most urgent issues to be unmasked. With the referendum we will have the chance. The current nuclear technology can not ignore geology, seismic risk between current and multigenerational management of intractable waste.
In fact no system of technology in general can ignore geology. The Japanese, living with a soil that reminds him often, they know better than others. An earthquake like the one on 11 March 2011, in other populated areas of the planet would have caused far more death and devastation. The culture of symbolic and material practices of society are Japan instead characterized by great attention to the cycles of nature. The institutions of the Tokugawa era (1603-1867) had understood such that deforestation was a serious problem and knew how to impose a ban on cutting trees indiscriminately, instead encouraging reforestation and turning the islands into one of the territories still best kept the world, although it has a high population density.
Tokugawa era is also "The Great Wave at Kanagawa coast of" the best-known work of Hokusai Katsushi and perhaps the most representative symbol of Japanese fine arts. It was printed for the first time in the thirties of the nineteenth century, about 180 years ago, but I will not tell you why it is still proving very current, in the days of the tsunami. Under the impulse of nature we see is rejected by the yin and yang of the serene confidence of fishermen, small and miserable inside the cavity wave invincible, and yet resignedly experts. Do not oppose the wave, adapt the movement of their fragile boats. They know that human work is marked by a "impermanence." It is a slight gap between the life of mass fluctuations in the sea and the background of the volcano, mobile entities in their own way, terribly mobile, but permanently. The Japanese
preserve many of the practices of life related to these equilibria, But being among the major players in industrial development over the past 150 years, have diluted the irreconcilable contradictions of that growth that demands too much from Mother Earth. It so happens that maybe the people of Japan should be held so close to the immense forests of Hokkaido, the same day when Tokyo was still called Edo, but also create the charms of zen woodwork of their houses at the expense of forests in Indonesia. It happens that the trauma of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been translated in the search for nuclear safety standards than other countries, and yet fallible.
only exceeded the threshold in Hiroshima in 1945 has changed the scale of rationality and realism. That was no longer untamed nature with which to strike a balance: it was the will to power of the old homo sapiens , the old beast territorial, violent and deforestation, is now able to destroy the world.
We Italians are not able to give some lectures to the Japanese. In speaking of our country, the playwright Marco Paolini states that it is a mountainous country that has a picture of himself on the plain. And so it is plagued by a misunderstanding of his identity disorienting and devastating, arranged in a chain of fatal disasters of the territory, all of them originate from a kind of reckless and willful removal of the true nature of our soil. The identity of the classes management is entirely shaped by this conception of the territory. I find myself in what they have written long ago and Massimo Marino Badiale Bontempelli: "We need to choose which works to build the logic to prevent the further use of the territory and protect its integrity, focusing on maintaining constant and small adjustments of existing infrastructure, and therefore stopping all so-called great works, which serve only to start procurement, bribery and corruption, often to the benefit of the mafia. " If
after Hiroshima changed the meter that measures what it is very realistic in politics, after Fukushima (if it was not enough Chernobyl) cambia il criterio di giudizio su ciò che è realistico nell’economia. Le “grandi opere” appaiono improvvisamente ancora più insensate. Il Mose di Venezia, la Tav della Val di Susa, il Ponte sullo Stretto, il ritorno al nucleare, i nuovi grattacieli milanesi, la bretella autostradale della Gronda , e altro ancora, tutte opere inutili e dannose, ciascuna da miliardi di euro, dovrebbero fare inorridire una classe dirigente seria. Invece abbiamo una Casta, senza però le illuminazioni degli Shogun, che almeno avevano un’idea del bene comune.
