The events linked to Covid-19 lead me to reflect on two things:
- the certainties
- the data
Certainties, the granite ones typical of 90% of human beings, those certainties that lead us to live and plan our existence as if we were able to predict even the unpredictable. Which is promptly denied. In fact, every time a stone is thrown into the pond “Human System” waves are generated that destabilize and shake up everyday life with unpredictable consequences. The appearance of Covid-19 has in fact created economic damage: stock market collapses on the main markets, problems in the movement of people, problems in the movement of goods.

The circulation of information, once again, has demonstrated its fundamental importance.
