  • Il fuoco della brace che brucia l’egoismo: il volontariato come antidoto all’indifferenza
    Pensieri | Società

    The burning embers of selfishness: volunteering as an antidote to indifference

    ByRicky October 23, 2026October 23, 2026

    Shopping carts left askew, garbage dumped in other people's bins, a "mind your own business" response to a civilized question. Then comes the Sagra del Folpo, a kitchen apron, and five days of barbecue at the Ranch: a personal story of how volunteering restores the balance of what the world seems to have lost.

  • Il punto di un hobby è farlo
    IA | Pensieri | Società

    The point of a hobby is to do it

    ByRicky October 13, 2026October 13, 2026

    The Silicon Valley bosses would like to delegate shopping, travel, and even family time to AI agents. But removing the daily friction takes away the fun of life: because the point of a hobby is to do it, preferably with badly broken eggs.

    A Question of Melatonin, Vitamin D, and Ariane Purity

    ByRicky October 12, 2026October 12, 2026

    Ten thousand years ago, Europeans had dark skin and blue eyes. Modern genetics has debunked the myth of Aryan purity: pale skin is merely a simple metabolic expedient for synthesizing vitamin D.

    Monopoly with other people's money: the anatomy of the great financial banquet

    ByRicky October 8, 2026October 8, 2026

    How do investment funds buy healthy companies, burdening them with their own debt, and consistently profit while the middle class slides toward the abyss? A lucid and uncompromising journey into the tricks of predatory finance, to understand what lies ahead and why sitting idly by is no longer an option.

  • Breve storia di una Sbilancia e di un tatuaggio a 52 anni
    Pensieri

    A brief history of a Sbilancia and a tattoo at 52.

    ByRicky October 2, 2026October 2, 2026

    At fifty-two, I got my first tattoo, designed by myself. Three elements to express faith, music, pain, and a Libra who deliberately lacks an arm.

    Concertino for Distortion Guitar and Orchestra: My Birthday Gift

    ByRicky October 1, 2026October 1, 2026

    On September 29th I have a little habit, a ritual that over time has become a promise to myself. That day, something of mine comes out. I use "mine" in the most stubborn sense of the word. A song I've been carrying around inside me for months, that plays in my head while I drive, while I answer emails, while I do...

  • Lo stress test delle certezze (e l’arte di farsi demolire le idee)
    Pensieri

    The stress test of certainties (and the art of having your ideas demolished)

    ByRicky September 27, 2026September 27, 2026

    I have an uncomfortable, almost obsessive habit. I take a belief of mine—one I consider solid, well-formed, almost definitive—I place it on the workbench and start hitting it with a ten-pound sledgehammer. No holds barred. I dismantle it screw by screw, pour the solvent of doubt over it, smash it to pieces…

  • L’Heavy Metal è nato con due dita in meno
    Musica

    Heavy Metal was born with two fingers missing

    ByRicky September 23, 2026September 23, 2026

    Tony Iommi lost the ends of two fingers on his guitar fretboard hand during an accident in a sheet metal factory. To continue playing, he built homemade prosthetics, adopted lighter strings, and developed lower tunings. These physical demands contributed significantly to Black Sabbath's deep, heavy tone.

  • Gli str***i galleggiano sempre. Archimede applicato alla Politica
    Pensieri | Società

    Assholes always float. Archimedes applied to politics.

    ByRicky September 22, 2026September 22, 2026

    7:01 AM. The moka pot has just drawn its last raspy breath, the cup steams on the table, and the radio begins spewing its daily dose of low-frequency poison. The morning news. Fifteen minutes of pure noise disguised as civil debate. The voices of anyone with a microphone within reach: majority, opposition, center,…

    Apocalypse 2030: If Artificial Intelligence Kills Us, We've Only Helped It

    ByRicky September 21, 2026September 21, 2026

    This morning, a cup of hot black coffee in hand and the usual feed spewing yet another gospel of terror. The Silicon Valley gurus and a handful of scientists with high-profile professorships have dropped the bombshell: by 2030, there's a 20% probability that Artificial Intelligence will wipe the human race off the face of the earth. 20%….
