Culture & Customs
There is in the world a cultural diversity that represents for humanity a potential source of wealth as well as biodiversity is for nature. Let us learn to know it.
Brain myths
⇆ Il cervello umano adulto: un chilo e mezzo circa di una massa gelatinosa che occupa più o meno un volume di 1.200 centimetri cubi, caratterizzato da oltre 160.000 chilometri di connessioni sotto forma di assoni mielinizzati. Probabilmente l'organo più importante del nostro corpo, anche se ovviamente sono diversi gli organi di cui [...]
Gender or general violence?
⇆ Spesso si usa il femminicidio come esempio di una violenza quasi fisiologica che pervade gli esseri umani di sesso maschile. Ma quanto è dovuto veramente al genere e quanto alle circostanze che si vengono a creare nei rapporti affettivi, soprattutto fra persone che convivono da tempo e che hanno investito molto sul piano per [...]
The price of nothing
What a box of chocolates with coffee and an anti-wrinkle gel have in common? Two different brands, two completely different products, purchased in two different shops. Nothing, you might say. Yet they have something in common and you have just to open the two boxes to immediately realize it: in both packages there is a small cardboard bulkh [...]
The rights of others
One after another, several European countries are beginning to recognize same-sex couples more rights, until they will get to see themselves recognized the status of spouses. First Spain, now it's time for France and the United Kingdom. Come today, tomorrow or the next day, by now it is a trend that is becoming stronger and that will [...]
Total tax amnesty
I'm not going to get to do predictions on the upcoming elections, given the tangled situation that has arisen. However, I can make a judgment on the strategy that Silvio Berlusconi seems to have planned. The fact is that it is a very effective strategy and should not be underestimated by opponents because it's potentially winning. It [...]
Digital ashes
A couple of years ago, the former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt said in a conference in California that every two days we create as much data as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003, something like five exabytes of data [Techonomy]. For the record, one exabyte is ten to the eighteenth bytes, or a trillion bytes. Someone al [...]
A book is forever
It seems now to be an established fact that sooner or later the digital publishing will replace the paper. The advantages are many, both for publishers and authors, but what about readers? Well, lower prices, the possibility of carrying around a whole library in a tablet as big as a paperback... you would say «yes, for them too» even if in [...]
That missing subject
⇆ Avete mai provato a dare un'occhiata alle materie che si studiano nella scuola secondaria in Italia? Come tutti sanno, gli otto anni previsti sono suddivisi in due gradi: tre anni di scuola secondaria inferiore, detta anche scuola media, e cinque di scuola secondaria superiore, detto anche liceo. Dopo la riforma Gelmini la s [...]
Honor to the real merit

Fortune and misfortune
⇆ Quante volte vi sarà capitato di dire «Ma che sfortuna!» oppure «Guarda che fortuna, quello lì!». Per molti la fortuna e la sfortuna non esistono, sono solo interpretazioni soggettive di qualcosa che può essere perfettamente spiegato con la statistica; per altri, invece, è una realtà inconfutabile i cui segreti sono oggetto [...]
Italianate megastructures
⇆ All'EUR, a Roma, stanno costruendo due grattacieli. Ci passo davanti quasi ogni giorno e devo dire che più li guardo e meno mi piacciono. Ovviamente è un'opinione strettamente personale ma, se facciamo il confronto con quelli che vengono costruiti in molti Paesi sia industrializzati che emergenti, direi che non ne usciamo poi così [...]
Sustainable Fashion
Dario de Judicibus talks about fashion, ethics, sustainability and total reality in the III Forum on Fashion in Milan, «Sustainable fashion: between creativity and technology».
Social Networks: the Next G...
One of the charges most frequently made to social networks is that they are “things for losers”, that is, they are intended for people who seek in the web the illusion to have many friends, being unable to have them in the real world. Most of those who have a Facebook or Twitter account, actually has friends and acquaintan [...]
Beyond Democracy
People often says that democracy is not perfect but still the best form of government. Living since I was born in a democratic system, I can say that this is not entirely true, especially if we consider this statement within a realistic picture of what is in fact our society. The founding principle of democracy is that it is defined as [...]
