As the machine slices away portions of human capabilities, are we left with a kernel of humanity, an indivisible piece that can no longer be divided into parts? Or does the human disappear altogether? If we are left with something, then that uncuttable piece, a form of atomic human, would tell us something about our human spirit.

The digital tapestry we weave, the vast, interconnected world of open source—it's a beautiful, idealistic vision of shared knowledge and collaborative creation. But beneath the surface of this utopian dream lies a stark reality: human hands, human minds, human limits.
When the architects of our digital future burn out, what does it truly say about our collective values? Are we building monuments on foundations of exhaustion? Is the "free" access to software really free, or is its cost simply deferred to the well-being of its creators?
Let's ponder the ethics of consumption, the sustainability of innovation, and the quiet sacrifices made in the name of progress. The dark side isn't just a bug; it's a profound philosophical question about the soul of our interconnected world.

De Hominis Dignitate : from human dignity to the domain of AI, a topical reflection
Digital Humanism: introduction
Renaissance humanism, represented by figures such as Pico della Mirandola, left a lasting legacy that continues to influence modern culture and society. In this article, we will explore how Pico’s reflections on human dignity in ‘De hominis dignitate’ relate to the current challenges posed by the fourth industrial revolution and the growing importance of artificial intelligence in everyday life. Through an analysis of Pico’s text and an examination of contemporary issues related to technology and AI, we will discuss how Renaissance thought can help us understand and address current challenges.
De hominis dignitate
De hominis dignitate’ is a work written in 1486 by Pico della Mirandola, an Italian Renaissance humanist. The text is a meditation on human nature and the dignity of man. Pico argues that man is a unique and special being in the universe, as he has the ability to understand the world and shape it according to his own will. Furthermore, man is free to choose his own nature and destiny.

The importance of online privacy: we are what we don’t share
Privacy Online: A History
The age of social media has allowed us to connect with people all over the world, share our thoughts and experiences, and keep track of the lives of our friends and family in the face of online privacy. But sometimes we wonder if this connection is really meaningful and if we are missing out on something really important.
Let us consider a story circulating on the net. The scene takes place during a conversation between two friends. One of them tells the other that he wants to try to make friends outside of Facebook, applying the same principles. So, every day, he goes to the street and shares information with passers-by about what he ate, how he feels, what he did the night before and what he will do the next day. He also shares photos of his family and the dog he had. And he listens to other people’s conversations and then says “I like that!”
After a while the two meet again and the first topic discussed is the results of that decision. The protagonist responds to the question: ‘It’s working!…at the moment I already have 5 people following me:
2 policemen, 1 psychiatrist, 1 psychologist and a nurse.
"We are what we don't share: the importance of online privacy" refers to the idea that social media invite us to share more and more of our
Long life and short timeline: Seneca, how to live in the digital age
Desire for a long life
The human desire for a long life is a common one. Many think that life is short and that the years we spend on earth are not enough to accomplish much. We often dream that time passes more slowly or that we have more of it. However, according to Seneca, life is not short at all. He famously said ‘life is long enough and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were well invested’.
The idea that life is short is a misperception. We often waste our time on meaningless activities, which makes us feel as if life is passing us by too quickly. This is the subject of Seneca’s treatise, ‘On the Shortness of Life’, in which he argues that it is not the amount of time we have that is the problem, but rather how we choose to spend it.
In this text, Seneca divides the treatise into short chapters, in which he explores the dangerous emotions and threats to our existence, warning us against actions that waste our days. The Stoic philosopher includes various vices and virtues in his discussion, as well as useful advice, exhortations and recommendations to help us make the most of our time.
Interestingly, Seneca wrote this treatise when he was still a relatively young man and several years before his death. Despite this, the text is still considered one of his most famous works, along with “On the Happy Life.”
It is worth noting that Seneca lived in a time when life expectancy was much lower than it is today, and the fact that this concept of the non-transience of life comes from a thinker who lived in this era is a matter of great reflection. He was a Roman orator, senator and quaestor during the 1st century B.C. He was only partly devoted to philosophy and was appreciated for his moral, oratorical and scientific texts.
keep Seneca's words in mind and focus on what is really important in life, dedicating our time and energy to achieving our goals | Digital H
Welcome to my reflection and awareness lounge at Infosphere time, where we can take time to meditate on our lives and how we can achieve greater harmony within ourselves and with the world around us.
We are in a very stressful and oppressive time, full as we know of fears and also of anger that is building up. It was there before the pandemic, but certainly after 3 years, with the limitations and constraints imposed because of the virus, and with the many deaths, there is a growing dissatisfaction with the way things are run and the world is run at various levels.
The shadow, i.e. our destructive part, becomes more and more charged when we become rigid in our mask and it becomes completely illusory to think of freeing ourselves from it.
However, I would like us to experience this difficult period as a preparation for the future, because I am convinced that we will have to face new challenges and that in these difficulties we are maturing within ourselves new perspectives, new dynamics and new opportunities for creativity on a spiritual, cultural and political level.
I urge everyone not to dissipate this difficult time by living it only as a defeat or utter helplessness, because there is also so much more. There is the sense of powerlessness, there is depression, there is pain, but there is also hope, the desire to do and to change things. We are complex and divine human beings….. we must not forget that.
Welcome to my living room of reflection and awareness in times of the Infosphere and Digital Humanism, where we can reflect and discuss .
