To all of them, I say to always keep that enthusiasm with which they presented themselves to us these days; it is contagious and good for us older ones as well. Our task is to help them channel their abilities and ideas in the best way possible, so that these projects do not get lost along the way. The first season impressed me; Forward was a project we had imagined, and seeing it become a reality was very rewarding. What struck me most about the startups was their determination to continuously improve. This is precisely the spirit we want to carry forward. These are years in which even the world of football is opening up to innovation and technology without limits and prejudices; in this case, Juve is ahead not only at the Italian level: "The first season impressed me; Forward was a project we had imagined, and seeing it become a reality was very rewarding. What struck me most about the startups was their determination to continuously improve. This is precisely the spirit we want to carry forward," Chiellini's applause. He has always been a pioneer on and off the field; innovation is brilliant and must be one of our core values in the future. #calcio #startup #innovazione (translated)

People must understand that there are serious consequences for this kind of thing. Our present is very similar to the 11th century – We do not want to fight, but, like our Christian brothers a thousand years ago, we must do it. The most evocative is that of the "crusade," in which Hegseth sees a historical and spiritual model: "Our present is very similar to the 11th century – he writes in his book American Crusade, from 2020 – We do not want to fight, but, like our Christian brothers a thousand years ago, we must do it." #PenaDiMorte #Trump #Fede (translated)

Pope Leo XIV wrote that intelligence should not be limited to associating data, an activity in which algorithms are now faster than humans, but should remember lived experiences and the goodness they make the human soul perceive. He added that every good begins "in the sign of the Holy Spirit" and carries with it a breath, a dynamism, and a sense of communion which, once experienced, remain engraved in the heart. https://t.co/wRoRV6Ix7L #Intelligenza #Esperienze #SpiritoSanto (translated)

Arthur Schopenhauer: Knowing too many truths about man, I cannot expect anything good from him. Absolute proof of the truth of this statement is the contemplation and possibility of realizing the greatest crime of the destruction of the Earth and all humanity by the ruling global elite, as well as the endless wars and genocides committed by it. What negative qualities in humans did Schopenhauer discover that deeply disappointed him? A blind, irrational, and insatiable drive that governs all people and pushes them towards selfishness and suffering. Inherent selfishness and malice Selfishness is the main driving force of man. It is the desire for one's own well-being, which is often limitless. A person is willing to sacrifice the happiness of others to satisfy even the smallest whims. Malice (malevolence): The desire to cause harm or suffering to another without any personal gain, simply out of envy or sheer cruelty. Schopenhauer believes that humans are the only beings that take pleasure in the suffering of their kind. Lack of true morality. Most people do not possess true compassion. They behave "morally" or "civilized" only out of fear of the law, public opinion, or loss of reputation. If these external constraints are removed, a person quickly reveals their true, savage nature. Intellectual superficiality and stupidity. Schopenhauer was deeply disappointed by the low intellectual level of the majority. According to him, most people are: Herd animals: Prone to blindly follow fashion, authorities, and public opinion rather than think critically. Incapable of higher spiritual pleasures: Satisfied only with material goods, sensory pleasures, and empty conversations. Hypocrisy and falseness The philosopher views social rituals and etiquettes as a mask behind which people hide their hostility and selfishness. Politeness is merely "artificial skin," protecting us from mutual harm with our true intentions. Insatiability and eternal dissatisfaction Humans are doomed to an eternal cycle between desire (which brings pain until fulfilled) and boredom, devaluation, and weariness (which occur immediately after the desire is satisfied). This psychological trap makes people eternally grumbling, ungrateful, and unhappy beings. (translated)
