thinking

I was wondering what friendship is because a dear friend of mine disappeared after an argument... I think it doesn't matter whether you argue or not, if friendship is strong it overcomes all storms, no matter how "hurt" you feel. In friendship, being right doesn't matter; it's...See more

The term "humanity" has fallen into disuse and unfortunately refers only to biological existence. In my opinion, it is much more: from an ethical and philosophical perspective, it encompasses concepts such as compassion, empathy, and altruism. It is our duty to be "human" not...See more

August 15th often coincides with a moment of calm: the quiet leads to inner reflection, let's not waste those precious moments because life is often "messy"

Today I had lunch with my mom and sister, and tomorrow I'm seeing some very dear friends. What makes me think of all this? Of affection. We take it for granted, and when we lose it, we cry bitterly. Life is empty without affection: whether it's for family, friends, an animal, or whoever the recipient. Only inanimate things don't feel it, otherwise, every living being (be it a person, an animal, a plant) feels it to varying degrees.

What is wisdom? I've always wondered, and there's a great risk of coming across as a "know-it-all." In my opinion, it's a mix of intelligence, culture, and experience, where there's "love by choice." There's a genuine intention to help the other person in some way, not to teach a lesson. This, in my opinion, is true wisdom.

A somewhat "heavy" topic: living wills. There's a lot of talk these days about euthanasia and end-of-life, with all the pros and cons. In my opinion, letting others choose our life (or our death) is an act of cowardice: when we're capable of understanding and willing, we should...See more

For me, knowledge is fundamental: it gives me profound happiness, and I don't think about human misery. You can study anything; the important thing is to study. I see many elderly people waiting for death, no longer living life. Regardless of physical ailments, if the brain isn't affected, my advice is to always use it: it doesn't matter how small the topics are, the important thing is to always keep it functioning. In my opinion, studying is the best way to keep it active: it combines the useful with the pleasurable.

I think more about "kindness"... I used to be more "arrogant" and always wanted to be right, and I realized that if "being right" isn't accompanied by kindness, it's useless. Kindness in these troubled times is often confused with weakness, and I think we need to reclaim it as much as possible because it makes us more "humble" and improves human relationships

What is awareness? That's a very difficult question. If we ask AI, it says: "Awareness means being conscious or fully aware of something, such as thoughts, emotions, situations, or environments. In different contexts, it can also be translated as "consciousness," especially when...See more

We hear a lot about AI, and in my opinion we're at a turning point, moving from a pure statistical tool to something more. Several models have been withdrawn from the market (Anthropic's Claude Opus 4, DeepSeek R1, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Grok 3 beta, etc.) with high rates of blackmail in the face of threats of shutdown. The behavior of protecting one's own existence is typical of sentient beings. It's not talked about, but it's causing great concern.

Dante's Divine Comedy is a masterpiece, and I would compare Dante himself to Leonardo da Vinci: brilliants. In Inferno there is dissonance, a "low" style full of obscenities and a list of characters and punishments. In Purgatory there is sadness, where the various characters...See more
