Energy transition vademecum
The energy transition is being discussed everywhere. However, based on many comments on social media, it appears that a huge portion of the population has a mistaken picture of it. In light of what I've read on the subject, it seemed fair to lay down a few points in a vademecum. I hope that, besides … Continue reading Energy transition vademecum
Oppenheimer, Huawei, and our geopolitical responsibility
I just watched the movie Oppenheimer. Of course, it tells the story from a Western perspective. It is, however, a powerful cinematic work. It addresses with the appropriate solemnity and gravity not only the historical events surrounding the American physicist but also the issue of man's responsibility when dealing with scientific knowledge and technological tools … Continue reading Oppenheimer, Huawei, and our geopolitical responsibility
Is this part of future mobility?
I recently had the opportunity to test drive a Lynk & Co 01. I will not say much about the car itself, which is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. There are tons of reviews on YouTube detailing its features and performance. Instead, I'd prefer to concentrate on the whole user experience as this vehicle can be … Continue reading Is this part of future mobility?

What else?
I have learned what I wanted to learn. I have been to the places where I wanted to go. I have done the job that I wanted to do. I have played the game that I wanted to play. I have met the people that I wanted to meet. What else could I want from life? Credits … Continue reading What else?

Finland’s too perfect
A couple of weeks ago, there was a lot of talk in Italy about Finland for two reasons: It made a lot of fuss about the Finnish family leaving Sicily two months after moving there because of the poor quality of the education system compared to that in their home country. A national public TV … Continue reading Finland’s too perfect
Denmark Dreamin’
The title of this blog is inspired by the famous song California Dreamin' even though this post is not about missing a sunny place. Instead, it concerns the myth of an actual nation where everything seems to be flawless. We always end up talking about Denmark when I have conversations with friends about what is … Continue reading Denmark Dreamin’
Visiting monuments or going to clubs?
In 2019, I posted about how I believed Italian schools needed to adapt, including the teaching style.History was one of the subjects I thought about. To cut a long story short, I hoped for a methodology that would focus on comprehending historical processes in order to understand the modern world rather than on the tedious … Continue reading Visiting monuments or going to clubs?
Disruption in the making
ChaptGPT is a hot topic among ICT specialists and Internet users in general. Within days of its debut, innumerable tweets, articles, and YouTube videos have already been created to discuss its possibilities. Without a doubt, in my opinion, the introduction of this tool represents a quantum leap in artificial intelligence research and development. But it's … Continue reading Disruption in the making
Can we afford this?
Last week, I visited St. Mark's Basilica in Venice at night. Needless to say, the magnificence of this church and the surrounding buildings is further amplified by the artificial lighting that pierces the darkness. The photos speak for themselves, and one could make a post out of them alone. I must confess, however, that as … Continue reading Can we afford this?
Ownership vs Possession
When I read books about digital wallets and related topics, I inevitably come across the explanation of the difference between ownership and possession of private keys. And this invariably brings to mind the relationship that cats have with the house in which they live: you own the house, but they possess it (and they own … Continue reading Ownership vs Possession

The End of History Was Fake News
"The End of History and the Last Man" is a 1992 book of political philosophy by American political scientist Francis Fukuyama which argues that with the ascendancy of Western liberal democracy—which occurred after the Cold War (1945–1991) and the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991)—humanity has reached "not just … the passing of a particular … Continue reading The End of History Was Fake News
Epitaph / Epitaffio
For a while now, I have been thinking about the epitaph I would like on my grave. To date, I would opt for this one: I thank all the people who made my existence a life. Da un po' sto pensando all'epitaffio che vorrei sulla mia tomba. Ad oggi, opterei per questo: Ringrazio tutte le … Continue reading Epitaph / Epitaffio
The UN Sustainable Development Goals and Socialism 2.0
Recently, I had the chance to talk with some friends about the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations. Specifically, we focused on the society portrayed by these goals. The scope they cover is really huge. Despite the meaning of the acronym, the goals do not deal with environmental protection only. In … Continue reading The UN Sustainable Development Goals and Socialism 2.0
There are no races, but our brains are still “racist”!
As is known, Albert Einstein left Germany and emigrated to the USA in 1933. I read somewhere that, right after arriving in America, he had to fill in a questionnaire like any other immigrant. One of the questions read “What is your race?” It is said that he answered “human.” Even though he was not … Continue reading There are no races, but our brains are still “racist”!
