LA NOTIZIA: La noia di Leopardi

Mio figlio al liceo sta studiando Leopardi e il suo concetto di “noia”. È proprio una cosa obsoleta e fuori dal mondo. Nessuna meraviglia che la scuola pubblica sia in declino.

Gentile lettrice, in decadenza non è la scuola, semmai l’insegnamento, che è a monte della scuola: vale per la pubblica e per la privata. Ciò detto, credo sia sbagliato considerare inutile lo studio di un concetto importante come la noia di Leopardi, che permea tutto il pensiero moderno. Per il poeta di Recanati la noia è insoddisfazione, un desiderio di felicità che rimane incompiuto. Tale sentimento doloroso è la dimostrazione della grandezza dell’animo umano, che aspira all’infinito, mentre il mondo è finito e imperfetto. Il concetto di noia è stato elaborato anche da filosofi come Kierkegaard, Heidegger e Schopenhauer, per i quali – sintetizzo – deriva dalla mancanza di significato della vita. L’esistenzialista Jean-Paul Sartre la chiama “nausea”, un’insoddisfazione profonda generata dall’insensatezza del mondo. Osservi che questo filone del pensiero occidentale contrasta radicalmente con il buddismo e l’induismo, per i quali invece la noia – ossia mancanza di desiderio e, conseguentemente, mancanza di piacere e dolore – è il nirvana, il massimo stato di beatitudine raggiungibile. In sostanza, per il nostro pensiero la vita è ricerca della felicità, per il pensiero orientale è fuga dal nefasto binomio felicità-infelicità. Com’è facile capire, le due scuole di pensiero implicano comportamenti diversi che incidono a fondo sulle rispettive società. Spero l’insegnante sappia spiegarlo. La noia non è “obsoleta”.

Leopardi’s boredom

My son, who is in high school, is studying Leopardi and his concept of “boredom.” It’s truly an obsolete and out-of-touch thing. No wonder the public school system is in decline.

Dear reader, it is not the school in decline, but rather the teaching, which is upstream of the school: this applies to both public and private schools. Having said that, I believe it is wrong to consider the study of an important concept like Leopardi’s boredom useless, which permeates all modern thought. For the poet of Recanati, boredom is dissatisfaction, a desire for happiness that remains unfulfilled. This painful feeling is proof of the greatness of the human spirit, which aspires to the infinite, while the world is finite and imperfect. The concept of boredom has also been developed by philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Schopenhauer, for whom – to summarize – it derives from the lack of meaning in life. The existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre calls it “nausea,” a deep dissatisfaction generated by the senselessness of the world. You notice that this stream of Western thought contrasts radically with Buddhism and Hinduism, for whom boredom – that is, a lack of desire and, consequently, a lack of pleasure and pain – is nirvana, the highest state of bliss attainable. In essence, for our thinking, life is the pursuit of happiness, for Eastern thought it is escape from the nefarious pair of happiness-infelicity. As it is easy to understand, the two schools of thought imply different behaviors that deeply affect their respective societies. I hope the teacher knows how to explain it. Boredom is not “obsolete.”

LA NOTIZIA

Schopenhauer rejects Hegel’s optimism, claiming the world is essentially Will a blind, irrational force of desire. We perceive only Representation (phenomena). Because the Will is never satisfied, life is constant suffering, swinging between pain and boredom. We can find temporary relief through Aesthetic Contemplation or permanent escape through Asceticism and the denial of the Will.

Heidegger wrote in German. The world mostly doesn't. Something happens in transit — and that something turns out to matter philosophically. This is a thinking-aloud piece: no footnotes were harmed in its making.

Heidegger on everydayness — and what three languages make of it

Hermeneutic Feuilleton
#Schopenhauer sagte voraus, wir würden eine Zivilisation errichten, die Intelligenz zerstört, während sie vorgibt, sie zu fördern. Wir sind nicht dumm, weil es uns an Informationen mangelt – wir ertrinken darin. Wir sind dumm, weil wir Systeme geschaffen haben, die das Denken unmöglich machen: Es geht hier nicht um „die Jugend von heute“. Es geht um die systematische Zerstörung der kognitiven Fähigkeiten einer ganzen Generation – auch deiner.

an unfinished thought from my drafts:
.
if neurotypes mean a different suite of built in thoughts and/or principles (and that’s what I think), then one of the shitty aspects of that idea is that knowledge isn’t all taught or learned or passed on, if some is built in, then that stuff isn’t coming from school or books or television or propaganda.
.
There’s probably no sense complaing about who said what or what we were taught so much.

(I agree with what Uncle Arturo said)

"In general terms, it is true that wise people throughout history have always
having said the same, and that fools, that is, the vast majority of all times, they've always done the same thing, namely, the opposite, and that's how it will continue.
That is why Voltaire says: "We will leave this world as foolish and wicked as it is we found upon arrival."

🔘A veces nos cruzamos con gente que necesita humillar para sentirse algo, pero no te confundas: eso no es superioridad, es pura inseguridad.
Schopenhauer lo tenía clarísimo; quien te busca las cosquillas con burlas o insultos solo está mendigando una reacción emocional para alimentar su ego.

Entrar al trapo con ira o soltar otro bofetón verbal solo les da lo que quieren.
La verdadera fuerza no es ganar el asalto, sino tener el control de una misma.
Al final, dominar tus emociones demuestra mucho más carácter que dejarte arrastrar por la provocación de turno.

La respuesta más inteligente no es el ataque, es la calma.
No permitas que las palabras de otro decidan lo que vales.
A veces, una dignidad silenciosa mete más ruido que cualquier respuesta impulsiva.
