The following text is written by Stefano at Castelvecchio Terricciola in Italy 03/08/24. It was a piece of the decoration during a dinner in the vineyards, which I thought more people should get the pleasure of reading.

WE LIVE MORE AND MORE GLOBALISED IN A POORLY ORGANISED CHAOS, WHERE THE POLITICIANS THE RICH CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT UNDISTURBED.

MODERNITY HAS CONVINCED HUMAN COMMUNITIES THAT THE BALANCE IS MUCH MORE ALARMING THAN CHAOS, PRODUCING GEED BY INCREASING PRODUCTIVE GROWTH, GDP, CONSIDERING IT A POSITIVE ELEMENT, INDUCING PEOPLE TO WANT MORE AND MORE, DISMANTILING AGE-OLD DISCIPLINES WHERE GREED HAS TO BE CURBED.

INTELLIGENCE IS BECOMING DISASSOCIATED FROM CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVERYTHING IS DEVELOPING AT A DIZZYING PACE, SO WE SHOULD CONTINUALLY UPDATE OUR MINDS IF WE WANT TO STAY IN THE GAME.

WE ARE INCREASINGLY INUNDATED WITH IMPOSSIBLE QUANTITIES OF DATA, WITH PROMISES AND THREATS.

WE ARE INCREASINGLY TURNING TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO HELP US; WE CAN NO LONGER COPE, AND WE COULD SAY THAT WE ARE STILL LITTLE MORE THAN AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA.

IN THE PAST, CENSORSHIP OPERATED BY BLOCKING THE FLOW OF INFORMATION.

IN THE 21ST CENTURY, CENSORSHIP INUNDATES US WITH IRRELEVANT INFORMATION.

WE NO LONGER KNOW WHAT TO PAY ATTENTION TO, AND TOO OFTEN WE SPEND OUR TIME DISCUSSING AND COMPLANING ABOUT MARGINAL THINGS.

IN THE PAST, TO BE INFORMED MEANT TO HAVE POWER.

TODAY IT IS KNOW WHAT TO IGNORE.

IN SUCH A CHAOTIC SYSTEM, HAVING A LIMITED VIEW CAN HAVE ITS ADVANTAGES.

WHAT NO ONE PROPAGATES, BUT FOR US MERE HUMANS WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE INDISPENSIABLE, IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT LOVING EACH OTHER AND HELPING EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WILL BECOME THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

LET’S LOVE EACH OTHER.
