Finally, I (virtually) put my foot on an English-speaking country's soil. For my mistake, this post ended up in a drawer and so it remained unpublished for years. Better late than never. Anyway, from now on, you can address me as Lord. 😎

The second fundamental law of economics and finance
Recently, I published a new page on this website. It is entitled "The fundamental rules of economics and finance" and represents a sort of vademecum I have written to set some firm points I have learned throughout the years. I was so certain of their ineradicability that I had the audacity to refer to them … Continue reading The second fundamental law of economics and finance
Citroen Nemo 1 – 0 Tesla Model Y
Introduction User experience aka UX. You may find it a little weird to start a post about a car test drive with this expression, which usually refers to web frontends, mobile apps, and stuff like that.

The long and winding road to “professional amateurism”
Part 2 of this series is here. I know, the expression "professional amateurism" is an oxymoron. However, I think it is effective in describing one of the goals I would like to pursue in the second and final part of my professional life—the one I am currently entering as I approach fifty years old. From … Continue reading The long and winding road to “professional amateurism”
End of capitalism? Some thoughts about socialism, Artificial Intelligence, and degrowth

One of the latest technological products of capitalism — Artificial Intelligence and, more generally, automation — could paradoxically pave the way for its downfall and the realization … Continue reading End of capitalism?

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?

Finland’s too perfect

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?

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.
