    The weak point of the bad guys

    ByRicky May 25, 2026May 25, 2026

    There's a mistake that bad guys almost always make: they think all good people are fools. It's a very dangerous bias, and I understand where it comes from: often, those who appear good are just people who lack the courage to act otherwise. A superficial good person. A fool, in fact. And the bad guy, having learned to recognize this category, ends up...

    Buying Vinyl in 2026: An Act of Cultural Insurrection

    ByRicky May 24, 2026May 24, 2026

    (i.e., a 12-inch average finger) It's 2026. We have gadgets in our pockets with enough computing power to send Apollo 11 to Mars—and back—at least fifteen times. We have Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music: monstrous platforms that, for the price of a few coffees at the bar, open up…

    The illusion of being the Amazon of the moment (or: the suicidal strategy of predatory pricing)

    ByRicky May 19, 2026May 19, 2026

    There's a ghost haunting the corridors of commercial companies, from multinational silicon companies to small local businesses. It's the "I'll do it like Amazon" ghost. It works like this: you take a market, you enter with force, and you destroy the price lists. You lower prices below production costs, you slash margins until you're bleeding dry, and you build...

    Steve Jobs: Leader or Boss? The Myth That Destroys the "Good Leader" Hype“

    ByRicky May 18, 2026May 18, 2026

    You know that tired meme that keeps making the rounds on LinkedIn? The poorly drawn one, where the figures of the "Boss" and the "Leader" are compared. In the drawing, the Boss is a tyrant sitting at his desk, whipping his employees as they are forced to pull a sled; the Leader, on the other hand, is in the front row, smiling, pulling...

    Five minutes and thirteen seconds of kidnapping (aka: the thousand goldfish anomaly)

    ByRicky May 16, 2026May 16, 2026

    Running an independent blog in 2026, in the midst of a tap-tap world, seems like a geometric contradiction. Science—or at least the marketers who sell it that way—tells us that the average human attention span has fallen below that of a goldfish. If a TikTok video doesn't show a guy doing something...

    🏆 The Empathic Firefighter Paradox (or: Why Acting a Nice Guy Automatically Makes You a Nag)

    ByRicky May 14, 2026May 14, 2026

    There's a mythological figure, a paradox that exists in every group of friends, in every couple, in every work circle. He doesn't have a cape, he doesn't have superpowers, but he's always there. Available. Ready. With his phone in his hand at 11:00 PM when you have a mess to sort out, with the right word when the world...

    996: The Secret to Success That's a Crime in China, but a Trend in California

    ByRicky May 12, 2026May 12, 2026

    From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. Seventy-two hours a week. Calling it a "culture of sacrifice" is elegant. Calling it by its true name would require an employment lawyer. Assonances The concept is simple: you work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. Do the math: seventy-two hours a week. For…

    Alex Zanardi: The Champion Who Never Played the Hero

    ByRicky May 10, 2026May 10, 2026

    I waited a few days before writing this piece. Not for lack of things to say—I had plenty—but because I can't stand the idea of using someone's death as a springboard for engagement. That social media automatism whereby, when a prominent figure falls, everyone rushes to position themselves, to demonstrate…

    But is it true that that train only passes once?

    ByRicky May 7, 2026May 7, 2026

    I told the train that passes only once in a lifetime, "No thanks! I have comfortable shoes and good legs. I'll walk." Then I told the second, the third, the fourth... And I even told the first one when it passed again. Well, I asked myself that too. Is it true? Or is it one of those...

    🇺🇸 “All that glitters is not America”

    ByRicky May 5, 2026May 5, 2026

    Why between the US and Europe, I still choose the Old Continent—data in hand. A few days ago, I came across a video reel comparing the US and the European Union on a series of social indicators. Little flags, red and green numbers, dramatic music. The classic content that requires three seconds of attention and three years of belief…
