It is useless to try to dissuade fanatics.

It is useless to try to dissuade fanatics. It is useless to try to dissuade fanatics. We should always try to understand both sides of a poorly told story. However, when the true side is discovered, we never understand the hypocritical side of those who continue to insist on lying. This is about the alleged “lack of doctors” in the SNS (National Health Service), we have to “applaud the football laws” in which it says that if a player from a club wants to go to another that pays him more, the club where you are says to you:" you only go if you or the club where you want to go pay the costs we had with your training..." Do they have a "small idea" how much it costs, of our taxes", the training of a doctor? According to official statistics in 2005, 109399 babies were born in Portugal and there were 1418 obstetricians and 1434 pediatricians, in 2021 only 79582 babies were born in Portugal (27.26% less) and there were 1861 obstetricians (31.24% more) and 2297 pediatricians (more 60.18%), in this statistical curiosity, everyone draws the conclusions they want!!! Juan Luis Cebrián, founder of El País, defined news as information that at least one person would like not to be made public. Nothing more than a warning between “fiction and reality” in this caricatured mismatch, of which we are all victims and culprits at the same time, for being the “support” of this fanaticism, in which there is fundamental truth about what moves these “pseudo -political doctors - opportunism, cowardice, propensity for expediency and subterfuge. "Fanaticism is the only form of willpower accessible to the weak." (Friedrich Nietzsche) I recall that Margaret Thatcher, liked to pour water into this boil : “Many journalists have given in to the conspiracy theory of governance. I assure you that they would produce better work if they adhered to the theory of blunder”. Having to agree. What as a rule justifies polemics are not great and unfathomable conspiracies, engendered by superior minds; they are blunders provoked by the most basic human flaws, such as vanity or thirst for protagonism, incompetence, complicity or personal rivalry. But Manichaeism =(based on the existence of two opposing and irreconcilable principles) does not serve this debate. “Only after climbing a great mountain do you discover that there are many other mountains to climb”. (Nelson Mandela - From the autobiography “The long road to freedom”, 1994). When the fact that an apple is not a banana is lost in the chain of comments, tweets, pages, blogs, a fight is won that unfortunately is increasingly victorious. When, later, journalists accept to amplify it as a “fact” that after all an apple is a banana, or that social networks “boil” with what they say is a “banana” and it turns out to be an apple, a form is lost. fundamental way of mediating reality by a profession whose function is to inform in order to make us better citizens. The same is true of the systematic devaluation of professional and technical knowledge, with a form of egalitarianism that results in an apology for ignorance. As Voltaire said. “Fanaticism has produced more evils than atheism.” The reality is when you pack a journalist's license and use a clairvoyant's license instead, the facts, which, as we know are capricious, insist on not giving you reason. with a feeling of deep sadness and the feeling that we are witnessing live and in color the involuntary (?) The most tragic thing is that no one ever imagined that journalists themselves would kill him.”
