La Voragine è uno scavo, che si tratti di un paradosso non c'è bisogno di dirlo: ad un operaio viene ordinato di scavare una fossa, lui scava finché non tocca il fondo.

La premessa ci introduce in una dimensione iperbolica, in una dimensione assurda: uno scavo immotivato diventa un evento fortemente simbolico poiché la Voragine non può che simboleggiare il vuoto. Ma cosa rappresenta il vuoto per l'uomo? È l'incapacità di rispondere ad alcune domande di fondo: chi sono io?

Waarom spelen mensen zo graag zelf onderzoeker en waarom kan pseudowetenschap online zo welig tieren? Wat zijn veel voorkomende redeneerfouten, waar herken je pseudowetenschap aan en waarom is YouTube geen betrouwbare bron? En hoe zorg je er tot slot voor dat je zelf niet in een desinfofuik belandt?
