Are Literature and Technology Mutually Exclusive? 

Humanity subjects individuals to ever evolving world dynamics, that follow the wave of progress which now comes under the form of increasing technology use. However, does tech reliance come with a parallel abandonment of literature reading? Or will people be able to take advantage of AI use while still recognizing the 'outdated' enjoyability of authors' creativeness?

In questo nuovo articolo della colonna “Parole Forti”, Riccardo De Ambroggi analizza le implicazioni geopolitiche e morali dell’uso dell’AI in ambito militare, interrogandosi sui rischi di un futuro sempre più automatizzato.

Control, Chaos, and Canvases: Why Modern Art Threatens Fascism

“Too complicated” isn’t always a critique, it can be a discomfort with thinking. Modern art has long been outcast not because it lacks meaning, but because it challenges the narrative. And that’s exactly what makes it powerful.
“Works of art which cannot be understood in themselves but need some pretentiousinstruction book to justify their existence will never again find their way to the Germanpeople.” Adolf Hitler pronounced this in 1937, during the opening of the Nazi…
