Love Without Filters
He saw her backstage and said, “I’m going to marry you.” She laughed. But in the end… he was right. That’s how one of the most intense and genuine love stories of the last century began. No dating apps, no swiping, no airbrushed photos. Just a look, a gut feeling. Something that goes beyond logic and time. Something that today feels almost impossible to imagine.

Is It Possible to Hack Aging?
There’s something that has fascinated me for years: the idea that time isn’t what we’ve always been told it is. What if time isn’t a river flowing in only one direction? What if it doesn’t truly have a beginning or an end, but is instead a mental perception—a rigid belief that isn’t always useful?

Colorful Clips and Analytical Thinking
Recently, I witnessed a curious episode: a friend of mine, convinced she was a very tidy person, had decided to reorganize her kitchen. She does this periodically. She reorganizes the closets, the kitchen, the garage. Every now and then, driven by an organizing impulse — or perhaps just by a certain inner restlessness — she empties the cabinets and puts everything back "in order."

Is AI stealing our jobs… or something more?
The boom of AI-generated content and courses Lately, everywhere I look, I see articles, posts, and discussions about the role of artificial intelligence in writing and creativity. I recently read a statistic claiming that one in ten people already use AI for some purpose—and honestly, it didn’t surprise me. We’re in the middle of a boom: online courses are popping up everywhere promising to teach you how to make money with AI—writing books, creating illustrations, even building entire websites—without needing any technical skills.

Two faces of solitude
“Solitude.” It’s one of those words that, the moment it’s spoken, leaves a cold trail, a sense of unease. In everyday language, “being alone” is often associated with sadness, lack, and isolation. It’s a condition we fear, avoid, and hide behind polite smiles and constant notifications.

The hidden magic of numbers
It was in the afternoon, and Lorenzo came home with a backpack that seemed heavier than usual. As soon as he entered, he slammed the door behind him, as if trying to leave the world outside. Giulia, his mother, who was reading on the couch, looked up and immediately noticed his dark expression.

The deal of the century or how a man became rich by selling the area
Today I want to tell you a story that, as absurd as it may sound, really isn’t... We find ourselves in a random city, one that could be yours, in a street of the city center with the stalls of street vendors on a sunny, boring day, you know, one of those days when you don't feel like doing anything. Well, it was one of those days...

Coco Chanel and the invention of the sun
In the 1920s, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel didn’t just revolutionize fashion with the little black dress and pearls. Unwittingly, she also transformed the very concept of feminine beauty when she returned from a vacation on the French Riviera with an unusually tanned complexion. At a time when pale skin was a symbol of class, protection, and aristocratic purity, her golden skin caused a stir. Yet her clients immediately began to imitate her. As always, Chanel wasn’t following fashion — she was creating it.

Trees and the invisible signals of 5G
In a world rushing toward total digitalization, 5G technology emerges as the promise of instant, fast, and omnipresent connectivity. But while enthusiasm for the “network of the future” grows, something unsettling is happening before our eyes: trees, silent guardians of life, are beginning to die. And they do so in a strange, asymmetric, almost targeted way. If nature, in its ancient wisdom, is the first to react, we must ask ourselves: what is it trying to tell us?
