History has passed through the media and barely anyone has noticed it. Another one-day sensation giving the media an chance to unwind the subject of culture. I don't think anyone has noticed her. Nothing interesting. However, this short communicative is crucial for our time, so it is worth considering it for a while.

The painting was auctioned, where scholars recognized that its author was the Spanish artist José de Riber and valued the painting at 1500 euros. Then, in their teaching, even more learned experts felt that they did not. The author of the painting is Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Immediately the value of the painting increased more than a 1000 times and he himself became so valuable that the Spanish banned its export abroad.

There was no question whether it was a copy or the original. Clearly, artistic value has nothing to do with it either. And most importantly, nothing has changed in the painting itself. It's all the same canvas painted by a artist from the same era. Just Caravaggio is more famous, while de Ribera is little and is considered to be his copycat, and it alone suffices for the price of the image to change over a 1000 times. José de Ribera, at a akin age, was fascinated by Caravaggio's work and met him twice. Now the image is so valuable for a higher culture that it can no longer be transported across the border. This did not prevent the Ministry of Education, Culture and athletics of the Kingdom of Spain from issuing a licence for an anonymous rich man to hide the work in a private collection forever. It only required the buyers that by October the work would be exhibited in the Prado, where the skinny chaps could look at it before it disappeared.

According to Vittorio Sgarbi, critic and art expert, if the work turns out to be the original, it can scope up to EUR 150 million. This would mean an increase in the marketplace price of 100 000 times. I'll repeat it again for the same first painting. So nothing has to do with the utility or aesthetic qualities of the object. This example perfectly illustrates how Global Capitalism (GlobalCap) decodes values, i.e. everything converts to money, marketplace values and capital gains. And he's doing it according to his own algorithm, where we don't have a function to play, we're just a willing origin of profit. Our full lives are decoded. Decoded our wellness and death, our thoughts and feelings. Everything, including ourselves, becomes a commodity, the price of which is determined by forces that we have no influence. The image, which was just within the scope of an average man, behind the wave of the magic wand becomes a good thing for him. It can only be owned by an anonymous billionaire who will buy it for his whim and hang it on the wall of a well-hidden vault, and the remainder of humanity can sadly sing to him.

Once upon a time, in the beginnings of capitalism, the determinant of value was the utility value of goods for the customer. However, that has long changed. With the end of the era of tiny shopkeepers, craftsmen and entrepreneurs, the era of building values by usefulness besides passed. Now there are large transnational corporations that form request themselves and make needs in any area of our lives. besides in matters of our health. And that's not why they make money, due to the fact that they supply products and services to this wellness service. It has nothing to do with it. As in the Caravaggio picture, only the assessments of experts that can always be encouraged to reflect on the case are important.

The wellness area that generates tremendous profits here is special. Government agencies governing the marketing of medicines in many countries, as in the US, have already been taken over by the companies that were to regulate. Therefore, it should not be imagined that any authorised medicines have been decently tested, especially for adverse reactions. No, they don't kill right away. The perfect is simply a chronically sick client to constantly gotta take their products, but healthy adequate to work, gain them. Thus, for example, the common pushing of all statins, since the medical experts who are bought are constantly lowering the limit of cholesterol levels despite the deficiency of evidence of damaging cholesterol.

Also, continuous lowering of the recommended blood force is only utilized to fill all blood force lowering medicines. And it doesn't substance that old people, having little costly and stiffer blood vessels, request somewhat higher blood force to function decently than young people. Once, all doctor of practice knew that. Now the fact and values are determined by experts. Thus, with medication, the aged lower the force to the value declared by experts. The consequence is dangerous fainting and falling. Sometimes, for example, broken bones that, along with complications, rapidly lead to the death of old men. But it's nothing. alternatively of respective years of happily surviving in good wellness for big-farm, more value is simply a fewer months of intensive care as it generates faster and greater profits. Each of us is worth respective dozen, respective hundred, respective 1000 zlotys per period for this branch of capitalism. And let us not be misled by the price of medicines and reimbursed services, due to the fact that if he pays the budget, then we are inactive paying.

In the peculiar business sector of our health, vaccination takes a peculiar place. You can compose a book about each of them, but here I want to remind you of 1 thing — HPV vaccination. I wrote about him respective times. past shows how Merck introduced Gardasil as a vaccine to cover the colossal losses after the killing drug was withdrawn from the market. The action began with the creation of a market, which is to spread panic over cervical cancers. The efficacy and safety of the vaccine have never been demonstrated. Within a short time after its introduction, the reports of adverse reactions exceeded the full of reports for all another vaccines for the erstwhile 30 years. A tragic evidence that was only exceeded by vaccinations on Covid-1984, but many times.

Despite a number of informing signals in various places around the world, the anticipation of introducing an HPV vaccination work is mentioned. For now in European countries, including Poland, globalist-neoliberal governments “encouraged” vaccination. More about it in my lyrics.

What do masks gotta do with HPV vaccination?

Perhaps individual might consider a journey from Prado to the planet of wellness care and big-farm besides far away, but it's good to know that both things have common ground. And what it's worth is what the alleged experts decide. And it doesn't substance if it's a painting found in the attic or our health.

I generated all the images until today's post utilizing the AI on the NightCafe portal. Caravaggio, of course. It was a small difficult, due to the fact that the way this artist is painted causes AI regardless of the model used, the tendency to make additional objects and extra limbs, fingers, etc. Most of the generated images endure from this condition. besides erstwhile I tried to dilute the Caravaggio style, or erstwhile I called for aid another painters, specified as Jack Malczewski.
