We are convinced, through the collective narrative leveraging our scientific understanding, that we think with our brains. While that is true, there is much more: some of us think with our stomach, an sculptor will think with her hands, a ballet dancer with her entire body. Our proprioception extends feedback loops outside of the body, […]

With modern technology platforms, the networks of connections that we can leverage go way beyond the limits of our biological and social evolution, the original circle of contacts in a village. The Dunbar Number of 150 meaningful connections may increase, augmented by the power of social networks and both synchronous and asynchronous channels of communication.
C’è un cambio di paradigma in corso verso nuove tecnologie ad un tasso di accelerazione crescente. Che cos’è il jolt? Jolt, che significa scossa in inglese, è la misura della variazione dell’accelerazione. Immagina un razzo. I motori sono a piena potenza e il razzo porta a bordo sia il suo propellente che il suo ossidante.

As we develop smart infrastructures for our societies, it will be necessary and natural to make them programmable. The programmability of agile and upgradeable platforms leads to resilient ecosystems of applications. The APIs, application programmer interfaces, must be developed with security in mind, so that this new generation of infrastructure can’t be exploited by malicious

In the 21st century, all regulations and all governance should either be or aim to be digital, as soon as possible. What does that mean? What are the implications? What is the context of regulations and governance being digital? We went through digital transformations many times. It started with the first computers in the fifties

Aren’t we spoiled that just 50 years after the Moon landing many of us pretend that space travel should be ubiquitous? La storia dell’innovazione non è lineare. Dopo che un’idea diventa applicabile e prima che si diffonda in modo affidabile e conveniente a un gran numero di persone, può passare molto tempo. Ci sono voluti

Cars on the Tesla Network will generate $20K per year for ten years according to Elon Musk. Once Full Self Driving is available, it won’t make sense selling them to you. Also, what if the real Tesla products are not cars, or systems for solar energy generation and storage, but the Gigafactories themselves? Welcome to
