Start here

Shreds of a bizarre world is not a diary you have to swallow newest-first. It’s an archive of scenes, satire, and arguments. Start where you’re interested:

Scenes from the world — things seen in the street
The country we deserve — Italy watched from outside and from inside
Keeping a clear head — how not to get eaten by polarization
Counter-catechism — against inherited doctrines, without swapping in new ones
Living on my own terms — work, age, pleasure, personal freedom

All posts by date are still below. Better to enter through a door, though.
