Losers before making it big

Look at this picture: if you didn’t know that this is Mark Zuckerberg, you would think: “who’s this loser?” Kitsch plastic slippers, baggy jeans, sitting on a hub between a box and a photocopier, with an expression that conveys everything but charisma and self-confidence on his face; the classic nerd, who would have certainly been […]

Beyond Rousseau: digital democracy challenges everyone.

Besides all the political considerations, now I’d like to point out the role of Rousseau Platform. Today’s leitmotiv from left to right wing is, more or less, that “60 thousand 5 Star Movement subscribers impose the government on 60 million Italians”; a statement that can effectively express dissent, but is still misleading, since we all […]
