Quote by Melania Rizzoli

“in America sono stati allertati e stanno intervenendo gli psichiatri, che hanno classificato i pazienti da selfie o da web come i nuovi disturbati digitali, che hanno una percezione distorta e non equilibrata della propria immagine, e per i quali si stanno mettendo a punto strategie terapeutiche di ascolto e di intervento, non certamente in sala operatoria ma sul lettino analitico, nel tentativo di riportare a galla l'armonia psicologica perduta e la consapevolezza svanita di se stessi, irrimediabilmente sprofondate nella ormai contagiosa e pericolosa selfie mania”

“Non pensate che i tatuaggi restino inerti e immobili sulla superfice della vostra pelle dove li avete fatti incidere, e che, se pur considerati permanenti siano rimovibili in qualunque momento, perché essi, una volta entrati a far parte del vostro corpo, vivono e respirano come lui, e soprattutto gli elementi che compongono l'inchiostro si staccano ed emigrano, viaggiando in forma di micro e nanoparticelle fino ai linfonodi adiacenti. Non solo. Le cellule della pelle portatrici del pigmento, hanno un loro ciclo di vita, e quando muoiono passano il colore alle nuove cellule nate, rendendo appunto il vostro tattoo fisiologicamente eterno.”

“General Abdulatty Kofta (Al Araby, 2021). [quoter’s note: a “kofta” is an Egyptian meatball basically] In February 2014, the general announced that the military had invented a device that could cure both Hepatitis C and H.I.V. The proposed cure was a medical device that could detect and destroy the virus, almost instantly. General Abdulatty stated that he would extract the virus from the patient, and give it back to him as a piece of Kofta, which the patient could eat. Even though there was no scientific evidence to support these claims, the pro-regime media pushed the narrative to new heights (El Dashan, 2014), even after the scientific advisor to the interim President Adly Mansour, Essam Hegy, was extremely critical of the announcement due to its lack of scientific merit (Abdelaziz and Abedine, 2014). The military even announced that the miracle cure would be available in military hospitals and clinics starting from July 2014, only to backtrack a month before that date (Loveluck, 2014). It was later established that General Abdulatty was not a medical professional nor a scientist, and that he was previously sentenced to one month in jail in 2007 for impersonating a doctor and practising without a license (Al Araby, 2021). His connection to the military was also questionable. Abdulatty was granted the rank of honorary general after after the head of the engineering authority became attracted to the general’s ideas, in spite of having no formal affiliation with the military establishment (Armbrust, 2019, p. 229). How Abdulatty was able to convince the military brass to support his bizarre claim to have found a miracle cure remain so a mystery, but it is indicative of the level of prevalent polarisation that a charlatan was able to spin such a ridiculous state-sponsored lie that a large number of Egyptians believed.” Chapter “Genesis”, Page 37”

“Prolonged exposure to negativity takes a toll on mental and emotional wellbeing. Doomscrolling—the act of endlessly scrolling through negative news and social media feeds—can leave one feeling helpless, anxious, depressed, and even suicidal. Moreover, this negativity bias can create a self-fulfilling prophecy by tipping the first domino in a chain of interrelated events in a sort of tragic butterfly effect. Simply put, when we focus on the negative, we’re far more likely to notice and experience more negativity in our lives. This can give way to a downward spiral where our thoughts and emotions become increasingly self-defeating. And almost inevitably, this manifests as more disturbing life events.”
