Sesso? No grazie è meglio Facebook

Tutti amano Facebook e lo sappiamo. Ma chi immaginava che il social network blu fosse anche meglio del sesso? Eppure le cose stanno così, prendiamolo come un segno dei tempi e rassegnamoci.

Oggi il bisogno di passare almeno cinque minuti al giorno su Facebook, Twitter, o altri social media è diventato talmente forte da eguagliare o addirittura superare il bisogno di mangiare, fumare o di fare l’amore. Ce lo rivela un recente studio dell’Università di Chicago, dove l’impulso di accedere a Facebook è stato messo a confronto con altri impulsi, per così dire, “primari” come mangiare, bere, dormire, e fare sesso.

Sul piatto della bilancia sono finite anche tentazioni meno necessarie, ma comunque irresistibili, come fumare. E nonostante tutto, la “voglia di Facebook” si è dimostrata più forte, e ha superato di gran lunga sia il vizio del fumo, sia il desiderio di fare l’amore.

I ricercatori hanno preso in esame soggetti volontari di età compresa tra i 18 e gli 85 anni per monitorarne i desideri e bisogni, chiedendo loro di dare un voto a ognuno di questi impulsi, su una scala che andava da “forte” a “irresistibile”. Ne è venuto fuori che per la maggior parte dei soggetti resistere alla tentazione di andare su Facebook, Twitter e altri social network era più difficile che resistere alle avances di una bella donna o di un affascinante sconosciuto.

Secondo Wilhem Hofmann, autore dello studio, questo bisogno di Facebook è così forte proprio perché questo social è oramai alla portata di tutti, e accessibile da qualsiasi dispositivo. Insomma si può paragonare Facebook a una fidanzata sempre pronta e disponibile in ogni situazione, ovunque ci troviamo. Facebook perciò offre emozioni a buon mercato, a cui è difficile, se non impossibile, dire di no.

  14. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.

  15. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  17. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  19. Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.

  20. The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.

  22. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  34. The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?
