Which came first, the chicken or the egg? It is the dilemma that we always use to talk about dilemmas, because nobody is able to answer, at least from a moral point of view, perhaps from a scientific point of view we could also find a functional solution to the question, functional however, not absolute, thus a dilemma. And I have a new one that sends me into the depths of this stand-by that I sti...

Like any human being I'm good at making mistakes and I'm not always ready to admit it. I say like any human being because actually our experience, even unintentionally, is based on trial and error and even those who are better at planning things to do, it turns out that they have learned this preparation ability through trial and error from which they then extracted the intention to make fewer mis...

I'm a paranoid person, I have to admit it and I kind of like this, it kind of annoys me. If I could choose between being paranoid or relaxed, I would certainly choose the latter, but since we don't have much to choose from on these aspects of our character, I have to come to terms with the fact that yes, I tend to be paranoid.

After reflecting on finding our place in the world, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make one that talks about feeling out of place. It has happened to everyone at least once to feel in the wrong place, which I don't mean to say in the wrong place or I'm not talking about a general condition. I focus on feeling out of place for a moment, for a specific and impromptu situation. Original episod...

A great theme of our personal growth is a primal reflection on our place in the world. Our place in the world is one of those things that you can never fully understand. We are born, grow up, live constantly in a physical place, but the concept of place in the world goes beyond geographical reality, it is more part of that sphere of ourselves connected with emotions, and we also know that emotions...

The number 69 is most famous for its sexual significance, making it a symbol of a sexual practice involving simultaneous oral stimulation of the partner's genitals, where one person is usually positioned on top of the other.

What if in the recent episodes where there was talk of doing there was a flaw towards both the less and the more. I mean, what if this doing thing wasn't as mathematical as we presented it recently? I personally often find myself thinking that I don't always want to have something to do, I like the idea of a day off, I like the idea of a break from time to time, but I always find myself without it...

A couple of episodes ago we talked about the collective syndrome where nobody does anything anymore and where absurd excuses are sought to keep doing nothing. Today I want to recognize people who live and think exactly the opposite, active, increasingly active, because they are active. Yes, there are people who cannot be stopped and demonstrate that a habitual condition can affect everyone's produ...

There is a theory with which I am confronting myself and with which I am dealing more and more often in the contexts in which I am immersed.

We have several aspects to consider when we talk about rhythm. And to do this, we must also choose a specific rhythm which, however, passes through our personal perception of the times that color the space around us.

It is necessary to mix. Like when we decide to prepare something to eat or drink, mixing is the fundamental act in order to obtain the product we want, otherwise to know what would happen we have to imagine eating a pizza separated from the mozzarella and tomato sauce, leaving the ingredients in a separate dish.

A solution to explain incomprehensible things is certainly the choice of metaphors with which we decide to tell precisely those incomprehensible things that want to be explained. It's a fun game, the same as comedians do to look for funny jokes to use current stories to their advantage to write their pieces. While writing a text it will be extremely fun to look for metaphors to explain things that...

Scaring is a tool that has been used a lot over the centuries to obtain enormous results that have gone down in history. Oh, I don't mean necessarily positive results. That is, what I mean is that by fearing results have been obtained with respect to the objectives of those who put the strategy of fear into practice, but this does not mean that we like these objectives. Original episode in Italian...

I've always liked TV series, I eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also for a snack in the middle of the night. I've always liked them because I admire the ability of those who write them to draw many plots of history that allow you to put together many stories put together and that can be told in many different ways.

I've never been an avid energy bar eater. I have used them in specific cases and I use them in specific cases, in particular when I need energy and at the same time I need not to take up too much space to carry these piles of food with me. But with respect to energy bars, I have another reflection that has brought me into this standby from which I still don't know how to get out of it, above all b...

Every subject who decides to write in his free time or for work faces moments in which it is impossible to do what he wants. Writer's block has two possible readings: the block intended as an unexpected and apparently unsolvable stop and the block intended as a notebook for notes.

Once upon a time there was a very self-confident Artificial Intelligence who boasted of being able to do everything a human being could do, and even more. She bragged to all of her friends, both human and artificial, about her ability to process information at incredible speed and never need rest. However, the AI had never had the chance to engage with human thinking, and this made her feel a litt...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a highly topical issue that is causing much discussion and debate. There are different views on the matter and opinions are often divided. On the one hand, there are those who see great potential in AI to improve human life, on the other hand, there are those who fear its negative effects.

Drops of water are a metaphor through which we define things that are identical, don't you say?: equal like two drops of water. But the wonderful thing about this metaphor is that it is deeply wrong or paradoxical. The same as two drops of water means different.

A podcast that talks about reflections and moments in which we ask ourselves how the world and our lives work could not fail to talk about friendship at a certain point, and to do so it can only appeal to our personal experience of friendship encountered in the world.

A few years ago I was working on a text for a monologue, which I then left at the bottom of a drawer, or rather inside a notebook. I even think I remember which notebook it was, and ironically it was a gadget from a well-known multinational company. Ironically because that text was dedicated to a strong critique of capitalism as we know it in contemporary society. Original episode in Italian Spani...

Link to the original episode: Ep.52 The F*****g American Dream It's hard to start this podcast without making great mentions. Since we have breathed we have been talking about the American dream and we are children of a generation that has really thought about and daydreamed about the American dream, so much as to move it.

Link to the original episode: Ep.51 semplificare After more than 50 episodes, more than half of the initial goal, achieved in a time that I would never have thought possible, because normally inspirations don't reach me at this speed, and mind you, I'm happy with this result, indeed, pleasantly amazed and motivated. however, I realized that a significant slowdown in the process is due to the fact...

Link to the original episode: Ep.50 Cash In the recent political debate, there has been no missed opportunity to talk about the use of cash, to raise the ceiling on cash, that those who use cash in large quantities are necessarily hiding something, that those who use cards are certainly servants of the system, that commissions choke traders, that banks march on us, that only tax evaders win, in sh...
