THE ORIGINS OF DIGITAL ANXIOUSNESS

T

he digital age has introduced many new communication techniques but additionally issues about society’s route of journey and the impacts of expertise on the person. Such issues at the moment are central to discussions relating to the results of the digital world. Much analysis has analyzed the relationships between digital utilization and psychological and bodily well-being issues. However, what is the underlying causes driving digital anxieties? Why are we terrified of this expertise, and do we now have a good purpose? Issues about expertise’s results are removed from the news and didn’t originate with the digital age. The longevity of the affiliation between expertise and anxiousness suggests an intractable drawback. Additionally, it permits the usage of earlier pondering to light up the character and supply of digital anxieties. In truth, a key driver of technology-related concerns has long been recognized because of the incongruence, or discrepancy, between the constructions of society and the effect of expertise. Many psychosocial theories assist the character and results of this incongruence. One of many issues that psychologists, behavioral scientists, social scientists, evolutionary psychologists, and even politicians agree upon is that the evolution of expertise outpaces the development of society. That’s, expertise develops sooner than the society onto which it’s imposed, and the community is left taking part in “catch up” to cope with expertise’s results. The attractiveness of expertise’s immediacy and velocity attracts individuals to its utilization, after which they discover themselves in a new world for which their society ill-prepared them. The discrepancies between the calls for the real-world and digital

his suggestion regarding the origins of digital anxiousness echoes many earlier discussions about new applied sciences, which develop when the developments of expertise and society turn out of step with each other. An illuminating analogy underscores this longstanding fear. Plato was involved in regards to the harmful effect of writing on cognitions and the epic Homeric custom of storytelling (Phaedrus, 257c-259c): “If males are taught this [writing and reading], it’s going to implant forgetfulness of their souls…They may stop to train reminiscence as a result of they depend on that which is written…via exterior marks … And it’s no true knowledge … however solely the illusion of knowledge, for by telling them of many issues without educating them you’ll make them appear to know a lot whereas for probably the most half they know nothing.” The identical issues are expressed 2,000 years later about digital expertise in a well-balanced overview by Marsh and Rajaram (2019): “… relying on the web could convey a way of possession over exterior info and scale back the depth of processing that’s essential to make info stick, seemingly exacerbated by the very velocity with which hits are returned in response to at least one’s search phrases.” The explanations for such issues at all times appear to be raised about expertise have been mentioned on the daybreak of the digital age by Jacques Ellul in The Technological Society (1964). Ellul believed that the defining facet of knowledge (and this would come with digital expertise) is “the method”—the sum of the thought-out strategies designed to offer environment-friendly options for the current set of societal issues. Nonetheless, somewhat than aiding the issues, Ellul claims that “the method” involves dominating the society from which it emerged, till the method: “… eliminates or subordinates the pure world.”

The

query begged is: why does expertise evolve sooner than the world from whence it got here, leaving many in a state of incongruence and anxiousness? Many commentators agree that expertise (“the method”) is developed particularly for an environmentally friendly and speedy discount of issues. Digital expertise hurries up communication—though it’s a moot level whether or not communication high quality is improved, as expressed by Sherry Turkle (The Flight from Dialog): “We dwell in a technological universe wherein we’re at all times speaking. And but we now have sacrificed dialog for mere connection.” The immediacy and velocity of expertise generate its reputation and, therefore, utilization. B.F. Skinner is famous for that such immediacy is extraordinarily reinforcing, and others have noted that such proximity offers a way of management and mastery. Senses of velocity, closeness, and mastery contribute to individuals embracing expertise and allow expertise to evolve extra rapidly than society (law-making is an immensely gradual and tedious enterprise!). Nonetheless, expertise offers a misleading sense of mastery— not over the “thing-to-be-mastered” but merely over the alleged mastery technique. It’s value remembering that such “false mastery” could also be a robust software in an advertising arsenal—beware promised options to issues, when all that’s offered is a distracting toy—that means expertise loses its prime goal of coping with society’s problems and turns into an end-in-itself. When the technological world does not mirror the actual world, the discrepancies and incongruities turn noticeable, and anxieties multiply. That is made worse when the constructions of the natural world, set as much as cope with the results of the technological universe, have been outstripped. To elucidate these results, we will utilize the psychology of Carl Rogers, who famous that incongruence between two units of beliefs, similar to the actual and digital worlds, is usually a hotbed of emotional and psychological misery. Rogers urged misery outcomes from discrepancies between beliefs regarding the authentic self and the ideal self. However, an expanded idea of incongruence could have a twin software when explaining the origins of digital anxieties—a “societal” and a “particular person” sense of incongruence. Society has typically developed means permitting individuals to sort out conflicts between competing units of values or norms. Nonetheless, when these conflicts are related to forces past society’s expertise, similar to are produced by a quickly growing digital expertise, individuals have left adrift with fewer guidelines by which to information selections. When “the method” has displaced and diminished the very societal guidelines that will have helped, it leaves individuals with selections between real-world and digitalworld norms, however, with no assistance or route in making them—we will see the contradictions, and that anxiousness will readily ensue. This battle is made worse to a personal degree, as there’s a contradiction posed by wanting to use digital expertise when that expertise is understood to provide issues—in Rogers’ phrases, the “actual” is at odds with the “superb.” Once more, this incongruence will result in anxiousness. Thus, a double incongruence exists a conflict between actual and digital cultures and a battle between the values of wanting to make use of digital expertise and never. In consequence, the origins of digital anxiousness are to be discovered, not solely within the direct results of that expertise on people’s psychologies, but additionally within the method wherein such a brand new, fast-evolving expertise cuts using current societal defenses.

“THE MAGIC OF ADOLESCENT SUMMER LOVES”

Who among us adults does not remember the heartbeat, the dreamy thought, and the irrepressible desire to be close to those who, in a hot summer, made us lose our minds when we were still teenagers? Love was something light but, at the same time, overwhelming, made of an irrepressible and entirely rational force. Our kids feel it when they meet love in the most carefree period of the year, when school commitments, sports, and other activities leave room for freedom of thought and soul. Adolescence already has a characteristic desire to bite into life beyond all possible consequences, let alone if the heart is beating, the head is in the clouds, and the body begins to do more and more. Requests that do not respond to the sphere of “duty.” All these aspects are very familiar to parents with children in this age group. They know well how difficult it is to manage a teenager and even more so how difficult it can become to control and give return times or limits on the activities children can do when the call of summer, friends, and love is real. Too irresistible.

F

alling in love and discovering \the other is one of the most critical moments of growth that a teenager has to face. Friends already help develop an increasingly autonomous identity and separation from the family. With friends we meet, we clash, we meet again. Friendships are open and closed all the time. This helps the adolescent discover more and more aspects of his own character and personality; he is forced to deal with his fears, internal relational and emotional limits, and frustration with joy and pain. Through friendships, adolescents also have the opportunity to discover all the colors of emotions. Falling in love also brings all these experiences, amplified by the beating heart, the need to feel the other close, and the fear of losing him or not being reciprocated. By chases and approaches, all intensified by the physical appearance and sexual needs that are increasingly clear and urgent with growth. It is not certain that a teenage summer love also brings with it a physical approach, maybe there will only be fleeting or platonic contact, but most likely, the sexual appeal will be a strong push that moves a teenager in the search for the other. Often summer loves, as such, end up leaving a trail of sadness that at times seems inconsolable, and as parents, it is essential not to underestimate the importance of these feelings. It is necessary not to belittle what your children feel and to make them think of support and, if they feel like it, the possibility of being able to confide and compare. A parent needs to be aware that summer loves and other relational experiences of their children are critical moments of transition that help children develop their autonomy more and more. At the same time, these experiences are test benches, a bit like the dress rehearsals of a show, which allow parents to grow together with their children through the awareness that the process of disengagement from the family is underway and is essential. Accompany the children on this path to make them feel safe and stable, so they can venture into life on firm legs.

HOW OUR INNER VALUES FORM OUR WELL BY IM ITALIAN TEAM to make a distinction. Regardless of unparalleled entry to data and expertise, analysis like that cited above signifies that an individual resolving to enhance their well-being habits in 2022 has no higher probability of success than an individual committing to the identical objective in the past. However, the information will get worse. At the same time, for instance, these data and well-being applied sciences have been exhibiting minimal impact on wellbeing habits within the U.S., conduct change information relating to authorities interventions akin to increasing data on grocery meals diet labels and requiring calorie listings on restaurant menus are additionally disappointing. An analysis within the psychological sciences has lengthy disproven myths about willpower and motivation because of the secrets and techniques to long-term conduct change.4 Briefly, the following primary well-being habits within the U.S. are shockingly low and will even be declining. As a result of this well-being, habits are direct contributors to main power circumstances akin to heart problems, most cancers, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s illness–costing an estimated $3.7 trillion (nearly 20 p.c of all the gross home product of the U.S.) annually–the stakes for reversing this well-being conduct development might hardly be more significant. But regardless of the pressing want for enhancement, not one of the most intuitive options is efficient.

H

ow Our Inner Values Form Our Well being One of the crucial persistent observations in current well-being analysis is the poor follow of primary well-being habits within the U.S. In 2005, for instance, a paper in JAMA Inner Medication reported that simply three p.c amongst greater than 153,000 People routinely practiced four wholesome ways of life habits–not smoking, partaking in standard train (5 plus occasions/week for 30 or extra minutes), sustaining a normal weight physique mass index (18.525), and consuming five-plus servings per greens per day. Quick ahead to 2016, these identical well-being habits have been assessed by an unbiased group of researchers in a paper revealed within the Mayo Clinic proceedings. This time solely 2.7 p.c of 4,745 People achieved these wholesome behavior suggestions.2 For perspective, think about among the unimaginable sources that grew to become obtainable between these 2005 and 2016 research to assist People in undertaking a more healthy life: smartphones, health trackers, sleep monitoring watches and rings, apps to enhance diet, weight reduction, train, and sleep, synthetic intelligence companies by way of corporations akin to Google, Apple, and Amazon, shopper well-being corporations providing customized information about genetics, well-being biomarkers, and vitamin deficiencies, and podcasts and YouTube channels offering nearly endless hours of well-being data to anybody with web entry. Surprisingly and frustratingly, none of those sources appear

To know these counterintuitive outcomes, think about how the best way we pursue modifications in wellbeing habits within the twenty-first century is very like how we sought reductions in air pollution from vehicles within the twentieth century. Within the latter case, society centered on technological options to enhance vehicle gasoline financial system, engine life, and exhaust methods. In parallel, the federal government established rules to extend gasoline effectivity, remove leaded gasoline, and mandate smog checks. Though these efforts have been well-intended and caused optimistic modifications, it became clear by the twenty-first century that reaching car air pollution discount objectives required a radical resolution: the basic design of the automobile itself needed to change (e.g., electrical or autonomous automobiles). Behavioral science means that the identical elementary shift is required for you and me to attain lasting modifications in well-being habits.5 Primarily based on this science, attempting to undertake new training or diet habits through expertise, willpower, or data alone is much like a fisherman casting state-of-the-art nets in a barren ocean or a farmer planting high-tech seeds in depleted soil. Main enhancements typically require modifications at an extra primary degree. In our case, changing wholesome intentions and behavioral objectives into long-term well-being habits requires that they be firmly rooted in a wholesome id and wholesome surroundings. To alter your well-being habits, you first have to vary yourself.

Trauma, Beliefs, and the Autistic Self BY SEAN M.

Trauma’s Impact on the Mind Trauma is a bit like a knife that cuts us from within out. In my work with the numerous survivors of human horrors like rape, home violence, abandonment, stabbings, and extra, what I’ve come to comprehend is that it significantly tears aside who we expect we’re. Maybe trauma’s best influence in my very own life has been the way it has formed my idea of Sean. As mentioned in prior posts, the self is not monolithic; moderately, it’s composed of components whether or not one has an autistic nervous system. And what I’ve been developing in opposition to amid my life once more, once more, and once more is how trauma influences beliefs.

Trauma & Beliefs Beliefs are propositions we settle for regarding the universe and the way it features typically about self. Now that is vital because, as one of my medical mentors (Sherri Paulson LCSW) states, “Trauma is only a reflection of self wrapped in emotion.” So trauma works a bit like an amplifier for the darkest components of our traumatic experiences. Take as an illustration a shopper’s trauma from childhood which concerned repeated alienation by his father. My shopper was the son of a pastor with a mom who had her psychological well-being points. This pastor was excessively cash pushed and labored someplace within the ballpark of 70 hours per week, possibly because of his trauma. When the daddy would come residence, he would typically take out his frustration on his spouse and my shopper. My shopper would strategy his dad about one thing, and the daddy’s response was to scream. Accompanying this screaming, the daddy would decide up my shopper by the shoulders, lift and throw him throughout

the room till his torso hit a wall. Usually, with the thud could be tears and whimpering, which was solely met by other screaming. So regularly, my shopper discovered to be quiet for his survival. My shopper’s beliefs were that “I’m not worthy of affection” and “I’m liable for my struggling.” A perception that, when projected inward in the direction of the self, resulted in emotions of considering he was chubby when he was not, an impulse to attempt to discover an associate to make him worthy of affection, and a deep, deep self-hate. Thus, beliefs become a vital engine in shaping how we view the world, all from early expertise. For this shopper, we’d suppose that train is a wholesome different for somebody who desires to shed extra pounds. The issue with that is that he does this not to enhance his picture but as punishment for himself for relationships that failed, which he perceives as his fault. So moderately than reducing, he runs. Doubtless, 10-12 miles per week, he takes out that guilt from that perception on his physique as a punishment to indulge these components of self which inform him, “After all, you aren’t worthy of affection.”

The Impression of Guilt Thus, this perception of “I’m not worthy of affection” wraps itself in guilt and aches as a response to a relationship that failed over a year and serves as a catalyst for self-harming conduct that others may understand as wholesome conduct. The problem for this autistic, traumatized particular person I work with is multifaceted.

I’M ITALIAN - FALL - 2022

PSYCHOLOGY There’s the layer of guilt for the failure of the connection (partially his accountability), possibly born in that early childhood when his torso would meet partitions. He was repeatedly taught to use constant screaming; it was his fault this was occurring. As a result, youngsters’ beliefs are in regards to the self, and this shopper who’s now a grownup nonetheless carries these beliefs from 7 years previous. These components, which were discovered at an early age for him that “the unhealthy issues which occur to me are my fault,” lives on nonetheless as a seven yr previous shaping elevated sensitivity to textures and sounds and beliefs about others. These components additionally are inclined to drive this selfpunishing conduct of operating, which works to each feed the guilt, and concurrently indulge that notion of self as chubby. By using, stepping on the size every morning, and seeing the quantity rise and fall, the guilt will increase. Thus the guilt shops not solely within the limbic system of the mind and the amygdala but also within the central nervous system. The trauma shops within the calves as they tighten to assist the foot push-off as my shopper runs. These beliefs of “I’m not worthy of affection” and “I’m liable for my struggling” are inclined to have an effect on how my shopper behaves and sees themselves. He sees himself as “fats,” though that will not be the case in the eyes of others. Whether or not that is his autism, physique dysmorphia, or maybe a mixture of each leads to a distorted view of himself by his components.

“I’m liable for my very own struggling” are usually wrapped in guilt and disgrace for him. The ensuing behaviors, as said earlier than look a bit like self-perception of being fat and a compulsive want to search out somebody to validate his very existence. He is fully aware of how these beliefs affect him; however, linking these beliefs to the various optimistic issues in his life, which show in any other case is an extended highway—a highway price strolling.

Views of Others Along with how these beliefs form perceptions of self, these distorted self projections effectively form our views of others. For instance, my shopper works as a social employee with home abuse survivors. In this work, he tends to absorb their tales using this lens of “I’m unfit for affection” and “I’m liable for my struggling” and starts to imagine the worst about others. He has seen a few of these he works with murdered and take their very own lives and naturally may suppose he’s a nasty social employee. Thus it becomes straightforward for these beliefs and guilt to turn into self-reinforcing and for him to challenge these earlyfashioned beliefs regarding the wickedness of himself in the direction of others. However, my shopper is neither depraved nor accountable for the trauma inflicted on him by his father, who possibly suffered his concussion. So naturally, when he tries so far, he perceives the worst when he’s rejected by the ladies by which he’s. These self-blaming components are usually louder than the explanations these girls give him: “They aren’t single,” “They don’t need youngsters, or they “Have completely different values.” As a substitute for him, its causes like “my social abilities suck as a result of I’m autistic,” “I’m fats,” or “I’m not adequate.” These damaging beliefs wrapped in guilt and disgrace are those he hears.

Working By the Trauma These beliefs for his autistic mind are a bit troublesome to shake due to their impact on how he perceives himself. As my very own therapist explains to me, our brains are a bit like nets. They’re good at capturing damaging beliefs and poor at capturing optimistic opinions. This is why she recommends gratitude journaling. As a result of analysis, time and again, if we deliberately concentrate on these happy issues, these weak nets get stronger. And so it’s for my shopper. His starting to consider one of the best in folks will possibly take time. Working with home violence victims and being aware of demise and violence makes {that a} much longer journey for him. These self-beliefs of “I’m unfit for affection” and

F

irst of all, I would like to contact the psychotherapist. Can we talk about meetings? So let’s start with our discussion. We met a few years ago; I would say several. They say: “People never meet by chance, but they live in our subconscious until the meeting happens; is that true?”

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, said that we only meet people who already exist in our subconscious. Maybe they may seem like things one says to give meaning, an explanation, to what happens to us. And perhaps we meet people when we need something in our life, maybe they stay until that sort of thing we need happens, and then it’s gone. So we make a journey together with the people we meet in our life. So we meet them when in some way we need them, or they need us, or when we have to do something together, as happened to the two of us. I don’t remember what we did together because you are so much a part of my life that I don’t even remember what my life was like before; how did we meet? Well, we started by doing a two-way script. I would say I had put the beginning of a story online, and you had completed it excellently. And then we got to today with the I’M Italian magazine collaboration. So do you think dating changes people? How important are they in life? Very, very much. Encounters are the only treasure we have in this life, encounters with others; the only thing we carry with us forever is what we have learned from the other and what we have left to the other, that type of experience. We leave a little of ourselves in any meeting and take a little of the other. There is never a thing that doesn’t happen this way, so encounters make us change, and encounters and going through a period with another person make us change. How did your encounter with psychology start? Good question; I always wanted to be a writer; since I was a child, I wrote in notebooks that I then made my friends read. I wrote a sort of serial novel. When I grew up, I chose the faculty of literature and philosophy. Still, I realized that I was missing something. I did everything late because I was working to pay for my studies, and then I saw that there was a faculty of psychology, so I had to take an entrance test. I thought if I passed it, this was the path I had to take; I gave it and started with work in psychology and became a clinic with the psychotherapy school. What does an occupational psychologist do? It helps people in the workplace, as a company consultant or with high-level workers who need to improve their work performance. I continued to specialize and dealt with improving peak performance with EMDR in the field and sporty fields. But most of all, I work with the clinic in my private practice, where I meet my patients. And how did writing develop then? It’s something that always attracts me. I can’t live without it even though I have practiced it very little in the last period. The stories are inside of me; I have five right now, it’s as if they want to get out, and then you have to write them. During this period, I don’t have much time, the work is absorbing me a lot, but I will make up for it; writing takes time.

ON THE SPOT

But is writing a form of psychotherapy?

It could; the birth of psychotherapy was very young, and, before, artists generally used its birth art to bring out the negative things they had inside, and in some way, this helped them to make peace; before psychotherapy, any form of art could be helpful in this sense. Even those observing or reading the works found some of their worries or difficulties. Your encounter with anger? Strange to be psychoanalyzed by my publisher; on the other side puts me in difficulty! (laughs). I’m not very angry; I don’t get mad so quickly; maybe that’s why I’m a bit dangerous when I do it, but it passes quickly. I like to resolve things; anger is momentary and an immediate outbreak; there must be communication to say what bothered us, what did not go, and what did not work for the other, so understand why you are angry. Your encounter with love? My encounter with love was born with parents, affection, and love, and I went on with friendships with family. Luckily, I met friends right away; from childhood, I have had friends who are still part of my path for over forty years. Friendships are a significant slice of life; friends accompany us in many situations and make the journey with us. Even though friendships, we change, evolve, and become great. And then also love the one with a capital L that makes your heartbeat. I have always fallen in love so much; I am passionate, and when I fall in love, I fall in love so much. The cover behind me is the new edition that comes out next month of your book in Italian, in a vacuum, which already exists in the English version. Even if it was released a couple of years ago, we remember a little of what it is about. As you define it, it is a pink yellow. Yes, it is pink and yellow! In addition to the mystery of a person’s death, a particular suicide, as many have told me after reading it, is a photograph of a neighborhood and the people who live within this neighborhood. So this mystery wraps everything around this neighborhood and this community of people. And then, there is the protagonist who goes to live in the house where this person committed suicide, and for particular reasons, she begins to wonder why he died, if it is true that it is a suicide or not, and begins a sort of investigation. She also meets love with a capital A, so here is that pink aspect: I fall in love, and therefore I make the protagonists of my books fall in love too! The most extraordinary encounter you have had in your life? Yes, there was, it lasted 22 years, and it is the meeting with my cat Camillo, now he is gone, but he has accompanied me for 22 years of my life. And he is the protagonist of my next novel. So this is a surprise, when do you finish it? I have yet to start it! Do you see that scoop? I've got it all inside; I have to get it out. Then I leave you, thank you, and then we meet again. See you soon because we are indispensable to each other with our meeting! True! It is essential to keep the encounter; I embrace you.

THE INTERVIEW

Interview with Alessandro Veronesi WHO IS ALESSANDRO VERONESI? Versatile, bubbly, and almost charming, the Veronesi is an endangered breed! Let’s save chameleons from extinction! If someone were wondering why the chameleon? Perhaps it could help the adaptability to situations, the familiarity in adapting to conditions, and above all in resolving even intriguing cases with a natural ease that is sometimes surprising! In the beginning, however, a “white witch” portrayed me in a painting, painting me just like a chameleon!

THE INTERVIEW

WHAT LED YOU TO APPROACH ART? So let's start in this story between reality and fantasy, returning to the chameleon and the "white witch." One day in November, precisely the 9th, I found myself in a castle, but it was a different castle than usual; it was a "Castelli Gallery," even a little bit of Gourmet! This castle, located in the middle of the two most important streets in Milan for design, marked and still marks part of my path in art! The birthday of the "white witch" marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration that led the Veronesi to use his extraordinary chameleon power to be able to shine in a world not suited to him!

The Chameleon

and the White Witch By Roberto Sironi.

However, he found himself unexpectedly capable and insightful, managing to be positively surprised, and thus began to weave an increasingly dense network with the help of his trusted friend. HOW DO YOU BECOME AN EXHIBITION AND EXHIBITION ORGANIZER? As I told earlier about the meeting with a particular person, he opened the doors for me to directly approach the world of art. However, the construction of a comprehensive network of artists, contacts, clubs, and art galleries allowed the growth of the whole in such a synchronous way as to be almost a fairy tale! The most crucial thing in building a network is the people! We always say that true works of art are first and foremost the artists, in whom talent should not be recognized exclusively; but the artistic talent must follow the human talent; this means that selfish, hypocritical, envious, double agents, etc .. even if they are gifted with an extraordinary talent, will not be taken into consideration in our world! WHAT ROLE DOES ART CURRENTLY PLAY IN SOCIETY?

The Cha

Witch Art

Interview with Alessandro Veronesi

plays a fundamental role in modern society; we need to start from art to create a better community, a true organization with valid values. People don’t have to think about defending themselves but about building something important! Another fundamental thing not only matters, but it is necessary to reintroduce the concept of spirit; a person of matter alone can never be complete! WHAT RELATIONSHIP DO YOU HAVE WITH THE ARTISTS WHO COLLABORATE WITH YOU? A functioning network must represent the whole, which must be reciprocal, like a sequence of mirrors that transmit a light signal. The artists who collaborate with us are extraordinary people who enrich the world! It is a real pleasure to work with people who have understood that positive energies are the basis of everything! WHAT WOULD BE THE PERFECT EXHIBITION OR EXHIBITION ACCORDING TO YOUR CULTURE AND YOUR TASTE?

The perfect exhibit is next; is what will come. The ideal exposure is within us every day when we talk and communicate with others to make it clear that art is needed to rebalance this world, made up of too many negative energies, on the right side! Americans in TV series often hear that I did the right thing or I did the right thing, here we have never been so close to art as in this sentence; if everyone always did the right thing we would live in another world, where the 7 deadly sins and the other 1000 invented by man would disintegrate in the bud! Art is present in every corner of our everyday life in the form of a seed ready to sprout. AND BY THE WAY: WHAT IS YOUR TASTE FOR YOU? More than thinking about what taste is personal, we should consider what gives us a taste! So by reversing the way of seeing things, providing the right priorities and bringing back what makes us feel good, we find the pleasure of living, of doing things, and those maximum energies that allow us to build anything. HOW COULD THE FUTURE OF ART GO?

ameleon and the White

T

he artist, like the farmer, works in connection with the rhythms of the vital dynamics: for both there are phases of sowing, development and harvesting. A work, like a fruit or a vegetable, is the product of a dialogue between Earth and Heaven, for which patience and method are needed, as well as attitude and sensitivity. The channels of art are infinite; everything can potentially be art, and the difference is made by those who make art! As I said before, it is the artist who must already be a work of art for him! AND HOW DO YOU IMAGINE THIS FUTURE?

If we do not immediately understand that we are going to hit a wall, we risk getting hurt! So wars, pandemics and the resulting business. If only money matters, the only result is extinction! Mother Earth will not allow this to happen for a long time! The earth and life will survive; if a man does not understand that he must rediscover his inner, energetic and spiritual part of him, he is doomed to extinction in a short time. DOES THE WEB HELP ART OR DOES IT REDUCE IT TO A SIMPLE VISUAL PASTIME? LET ME EXPLAIN: DO IMAGES RETAIN THEIR EXPRESSIVE POWER OR HAVE THEY BECOME JUST A WAY TO COLOR OUR INTERESTS? A work of art generates emotion, which is the very basis of all my speech. From the feeling we find the connection with that inner part which is our only salvation. Anything that causes emotion brings us into a state of contact with our natural humans! The web and technologies can promote propagation through new communication channels! The web and websites can also be seen as forms of art; sure, we would need a web developer who also knows art, like me! WHAT ROLE DOES A CONTEMPORARY ARTIST PLAY IN SOCIETY? An artist in modern society has a fundamental role and must be increasingly taken as an example by people who have decided to be ordinary. An artist is extraordinary by birth. Otherwise he wouldn’t be an artist. He has a different way of looking at things. Many brilliant people in their work who consciously choose paths other than the crowd, even from their professional competitors, are artists in their careers. Being an artist means being connected with the rest! UPCOMING ENGAGEMENTS? The commitment is daily in the area, every time you can talk or communicate with one or more people. Art and beauty will save the world, even a famous said so! :-D Upcoming commitments, for now, we limit ourselves to planet earth, which already has a lot to do! ONE LAST QUESTION: IT IS SAID THAT WITH CULTURE YOU DON’T EAT, WHAT DO YOU THINK? This is the trap that most people who would like to connect with a better world put them in. This could lead to building a planet with better people, but behind the blackmail of money, they give up and stop believing it, so the fire that would keep them alive forever goes out! We always say one important thing: money is a consequence of what you do; it seems trivial, but if you take away the concept that money is the most crucial thing and insert the idea accordingly, you will find the right balance between matter and spirit!

THE ARTIST: this strange individual who lives between reality and fantasy!

B

By Roberto Sironi. ut let’s go back to that character I was talking about earlier: the artist! Who is this only human character, with origins unknown to most people, and who has little to do with the human race? He is not inhuman, humanoid, or Martian; he is only the least educable part of humanity! Of course, he has two legs, two arms, two eyes and two hands, a face, and a body, yet the distance between him and the others is sidereal! The world of an artist is not the world of all the others; it is different and does not have the same characteristics. His visions, from simple dreams, become visionary, therefore a willingness to enter utopian and fantastic worlds with the relative ability to capture images, ideas, and insights beyond the present!

But what does our artist feed himself? Certainly of fantasy, a fantasy that can be served in all imaginable and possible ways, therefore of a musical, artistic, dancing, literary, cinematographic fiction, without forgetting the story of passions, the sentimental one, the fantasy of intuitions, and even that of faith! This character, which could be mistaken for a shaman, a wizard, a sorcerer, a soothsayer, or sometimes even a healer, is just a child, a human being who has remained, in a sense, a child with his inventive games. His imaginations, his improbable constructions of a world that do not exist in that “there is,” and how! So the artist, indeed, is a character in himself, unique; he is a protagonist apart from everyday life, a comedian who plays his part off the cuff, without a script, and always balanced on the wire. Of the reality that he interprets as pure creation! That reality reduces it to a simple exemption of obviousness, therefore no obviousness but only beauty everywhere, in anything, around every corner! In this modernist and non-modern society, a great theme that should be developed and which is of no interest to anyone, the artist is increasingly struggling to resist in his role, defending his works tooth and nail. Still, at the same time, those works are dispersed in general indifference, in inattention. Paradoxically the more one is an artist, the more he will encounter difficulties of all kinds in everyday life, such as paying the rent of the house, buying a car, and having, in short, a decent, dignified life! There is a strange belief that artists want to be beautiful, rich, and famous, but that’s not the case! It is the market that changes their lives, and then there are not only rich artists! Those are a tiny minority, nothing compared to the thousands and thousands of artists who frequent this planet Earth! The old figure of the bohemian artist has disappeared into the maze of a historical and cultural past that will never return! Today that figure has been replaced, I would say vulgarly, by thousands of advertising silhouettes and characters totally devoid of personalities that fill televisions, newspapers, social networks, allegories of a time that was! It would seem that disguise is in fashion today; if you don’t dress up, you are not visible, and if you are not visible, what artist are you? It means that you are worth nothing! No, it does not! What is certain is that today the value of Art is conditioned by the purchasing power that very everyday products such as soap, toilet paper, and condoms can have ...! The art market, of all Art, is a market that requires crowds, masses, and multitudes. But Art is not for everyone, no matter what people say! Art is a language that needs to be studied, investigated, and investigated! It is a market that has the task of devising ideas, stirring up consciences, proposing, if we like, even though scandals! Art is not supermarket stuff; from discounts, buy three, pay two. In Art, one plus one does not exist; it cannot coexist with the exact origins of Art that are more archaic, remote, and ancient than the market itself. In all likelihood, Art is the first human expression of intelligence to appear on Earth! And our artist? What happened to it? He continues undaunted on his way, knowing perfectly well that the rules of the game have changed, and perhaps even the game has changed!

A true artist never becomes someone; a true artist is already born “someone”

More

and more artists retreat to the peripheries of the world as if in those peripheries they could finally find their proper and renewed social position, which almost always works! It is more likely to visit an artist’s studio lost in the mountains than an atelier in the center of a metropolis!

The artist reproduces himself, sheds his skin, puts on make-up, and removes make-up for every occasion in which he can make his Art known; he seeks solutions and resolutions everywhere. When he does not find them, rightly so, he invents!

As a true gypsy of the time, he runs in all directions and travels. He retraces all the imaginable and possible roads through which to satisfy his ancient desire to create. Even knowing that he is not a Serie A citizen in this society, he fights with all his strength to assert his independence and, above all, the freedom of thinking! A true artist never becomes someone; a true artist is already born “someone” even if his contemporaries do not notice him or, worse still, have rejected him, put him aside, ridiculed him! History is full of colossal blunders, indescribable forgetfulness, and fashions that have made a dreadful selection in the world of Art. It is no coincidence that the extraordinary in an ordinary environment does not shine; it is neglected, underestimated. But then, sometimes and suddenly, for mysterious reasons or reasons, it turns out that with Art you can create an economy, make money, even improve a country, educate it, make it more intelligent and cultured! In that case, Art becomes, as they say, today, a brand! Then, in that case, Art becomes indispensable. Dogs and pigs pounce on those apparent scraps of society. When these professional hyenas take possession of an idea, at that exact moment, the idea dies in a specular amateur ignorance! Here the artist discovers, in a certain sense, that he is also a warrior; more precisely, he had to become a warrior; therefore, even if there is no ascertained dynamic, the thought becomes common and is compacted into a significant force, which rightly is the force of destiny! Musicians, painters, writers, dancers, sculptors, singers, and all the other artists all together day after day, work after work, creation after creation, are the grand army of Art that, knowing that they are going to meet defeat, they do not retreat by a single step, heroically immolate themselves on the altar of stupidity that never ceases to amaze for its astonishing ignorance! In this modernist and non-modern society, the artist becomes the instigator and automatically also the killer of ignorance, ignorance, ignorance, indecency, rudeness, coarseness, and incivility! His experiences lasting thousands and thousands of years mean that the skin of our or our heroes is more complicated than steel and more malleable than wood. In short, the artist has become, in a metamorphosis that is difficult to describe, a true genius of himself projected towards the thing that is most sought after and coveted by the entire human race: eternity! Those who are already born someone hardly goes back to being nobody, and this is it! Everything else is talk! And in any case, let it remain between us: but a world without artists, what world would it be? I tell you, it would be dull, boring, monotonous, unbearable and annoying! Is it a world without Art? Well, this would be a universal disaster! Can you imagine, for example, all the churches without frescoes? All the walls in every house without paintings? All the notes of the music that embellish our existence? In short, it would be the end of all beauty without artists and without Art! So let’s love these fantasy travelers a little! They will always bring us something from their travels, even if it were just an idea!

Research based mostly on the polls, taken earlier than a pre-election blackout kicked in on Saturday, presents that the far-right Fratelli d’Italia (FDI) social gathering of Giorgia Meloni is on observed to be the largest single social gathering. The nationalist-conservative social gathering of Meloni, who’s tipped to grow to be Italy’s first feminine prime minister, has led opinion polls since elections were introduced in late July following the resignation of outgoing premier Mario Draghi. The FDI dominates the rightist bloc, which contains the right-wing Lega social gathering led by Matteo Salvini and the center-right Forza Italia (FI) of Silvio Berlusconi. The polls present that the correct holds on to its vital lead because the election race enters its closing two weeks, placing it effectively forward of the center-left Partito Democratico (PD) of Enrico Letta.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Convention of England and Wales, paid tribute to the Queen with these phrases: “On 21 April 1947, her twenty-first birthday, Princess Elizabeth mentioned, ‘I declare earlier than you all that my entire life, whether or not it’s lengthy or quick, shall be dedicated to your service.’ Now, seventy-five years later, we’re heartbroken in our loss at her death and so stuffed with admiration for the unfailing means during which she fulfilled that declaration. Even in my sorrow, shared with so many around the globe, I’m crammed with an immense sense of gratitude for the present to the world that has been the lifetime of Queen Elizabeth II. Presently, we pray for the repose of the soul of Her Majesty. We achieve this with confidence, as a result of the Christian religion marked day-after-day of her life and exercise. In her Millennium Christmas message, she mentioned, ‘Too many of us, our beliefs are of basic significance. For me, the teachings of Christ and my private accountability earlier than God present a framework during which I attempt to lead my life. Like many of you, I have drawn nice consolation in troublesome occasions from Christ’s phrases and instance.’ This religion, so usually and so eloquently proclaimed in her public messages, has inspired me and, I’m sure, many.

The knowledge, stability, and repair that she persistently embodied, usually in circumstances of utmost issue, are a shining legacy and testimony to her religion. Our prayer is that she is now acquired into the merciful presence of God, there to be reunited along with her beloved Prince Philip. That is the promise of our religion and our deep comfort. Queen Elizabeth will stay, all the time, a shining mild in our historical past. Might she now relax in peace? We pray for His Majesty the King as he assumes his new workplace simultaneously as he mourns his mom. God save the King.”

THE JOURNEY ACROSS THE LIMITS OF AN ORDINARY MAN By Susanna Casubolo

the limit e are here with Christian Calabrese for IM Italian magazine, and I ask you to introduce yourself to our readers or whoever listens to this interview. Hello, I am Christian Calabrese, an ultra-marathon runner; I am 48 years old, and my job is as an intensive care nurse in the critical area.

Well, I wanted to do this interview a little playing with words, and maybe, you can give those numbers a sense of both: sport and life experience. Here I would like to start with the word limit. What does this word evoke in you? Thank you for the question. The word limit, for me, is powerful. Let’s say that my entire life story as an ultra-marathon runner is based on the one that revolves around this word. Here it is of life because in addition to having had an everyday life, let’s say in quotes, always, I have been a sportsman, an ordinary family life, with a daughter to raise, everything. When in 2017, I ran into a nasty disease which is renal cell carcinoma, and from there, this event I solved well; everything went well; I solved this event; it was a catalytic event that got me, exposed me, and let’s say that I tried to push my limits as an athlete. So from simple marathon runner to ultra-marathon runner with distances over 100 kilometers. In short, it was an event that taught me to think about ordinary life and not to live according to standard canons. I have a life, let’s say normal, the classic everyday life, but by setting myself big goals, I am slowly trying to achieve them. An experience, in short, to say touching and, simultaneously, completely changes the basis from which we start.

A

nd what else, let’s say beyond the limit, is another word that somehow is very much linked. It is very much related to the type of sport you are practicing: perseverance.

Yes, then that’s the limit. The limit that accompanies me is the stimulation in each preparation, for each ultra, for each ultramarathon. But without perseverance, it isn’t easy to reach this limit. Let’s say that the ultramarathon is a sport that involves every sphere of one’s life, of one’s life, from the management of family dynamics to work. As I said, I work as a nurse in the clinic, so I do 12-hour shifts with nights and perseverance.

the perseverance n this case, it is fundamental because, how to say, I never settle on commonplaces. I have the excuses we all say. Our brain tries to force us to stay on the sofa, but when I don’t have time, I also go to work by running. I work a night shift and run home. Because setting yourself a goal and persevering in achieving that and, therefore, reaching your limit is fundamental.

Now I talk about my goals, which may be very important and unattainable for those who do not practice the ultra marathon. However, even in a small way, there are many minor goals that sports and perseverance help you to achieve. Do you train a lot? I train; I do five to seven weekly running workouts. And then I add when I can of the workout bike, bike racing. And this we say that it is only a part of the training because the training is not only the physical one, but it is above all a style training, of life. So I’m a vegetarian, even though I’m shifting to a vegan diet. Because in addition to ethics, but also from a sporting point of view, I speak for what concerns how my body works. The vegetarian and even vegan diet helps significantly in this sport, especially in recovering or improving one’s performance. So my training is 360 degrees, 365 days a year. I allow myself something sometimes because I’m sorry for the family, then a vegan beer and pizza. I gladly concede it. I heard before talking about goals, but let’s say in the year, what kind of goals do you set yourself concerning the races or, in any case, the events to participate? That is, how many events per year do you manage? How many events do you manage to attend a year?

I

try to do one race a month, and let’s say the goals are 1 or 2. I can tell you that last year I did the Milan-Sanremo, a race that starts from Milan and arrives in Sanremo, touching the sea of Sanremo ​​ for about 285 kilometers. So my goal was that, and in the meantime, I did some approach races and 100km races.

U

ltratrail: from 60 to 80 kilometers in the mountains. Approach races and more or less intense goals and to be able to arrive later.

Equipped are the objectives of the approach. Instead, this year I had plans. There are two; one was the nine with Iran, which is a race that runs through you. A cycling race called Nove Colli is much more famous than the road and running races, which are 202 km long. Nine hills in central Italy, and I finished it in May. There, too, I did some approach races afterward, after which my next goal will now be a 24-hour race on 17 September. It will be my four, my 4th 24-hour race on the track, on a circuit of about one and two kilometers to one and a half kilometers for a maximum of 24 hours. I try to do as many kilometers as possible, and here, I will try to reach the minimum it takes to enter the Italian 24-hour national team, which is my dream. I have prepared well; I have an athlete from the National team who follows me, and I have the support of the family who helps me in this because I am always out racing, and I will try. I’ll try the “24 hours;” it’s difficult, so achieving this will be nice. It will be on 17 and 18 September in Verona. Concurrently there is the 24 women’s European Championship. I will be there in the middle; I will try to do my best to reach a minimum of 230 kilometers. It is not easy. However, the training was there. This year I have already done two races of 100 kilometers, one of 200 and one of which; I ran in the Swiss mountains for 23 hours. I was also at night to race with the bike, to face a beautiful one with experience. And so we see. I put a lot of effort into it; I also train on vacation; as always I prepare. In short, the goal is firmly fixed in the head.

W

ell, well, let’s say. You talked about preparing and talking about people around you versus cheering for yourself. Helping you in these extraordinary adventures, however, comes to mind the third word that I still wanted to throw on the table, which is loneliness, because in reality, in training, in competitions, I imagine that this is a resource and at the same time also a difficulty compared to itself themselves.

INSPIRATIONAL

Y

es, that’s a word I like. I must say that I want to make a premise that it basically must all start from. So I always say I’m just one running. So I’m a very average person, so all of us, if we have perseverance, a goal, and a goal to make our lives extraordinary, can get what we want. In sports or everyday life, let’s let our life become extraordinary.

That said, the people who assist me are exceptional. One of them is Nablus, a 24-hour Italian national team athlete, whom I thank. I have the contribution of a nutritionist because, being a vegetarian, he is almost vegan. We say I always keep experimenting, and sometimes I say that what I do is incorrect. So I try to help myself in this regard for a moment. After that, once at the table, once you know what to eat, once you carve out your time, you are alone with yours, with yours, with your workouts. What is nice about being in solitude is that you leave your house every day, put on your shoes, and take the same path in solitude. But this loneliness, this path that you take every day on your way, in your tracks and your paths alone, then it leads you to this, it leads me to talk about it with you. It leads me to talk about it with the people who will then read or listen to my story because it is what you do every day with constancy and the power it has in what you believe, pushing you further. Hence the loneliness. It is relative because it is a solitude of concentration on what you are doing, but then you are together. Suitable for many other people who look at your story, and I hope maybe in their little way, in our little one, because I do too; in my little one, it is possible to do a little more with everything that is, with nutrition, with the style of life. Because then doing sport in such a persevering way also leads you to rework all that lifestyle in the relationship with the environment, with animals, with everything. So it’s an improvement in our lives. This is what we must think.

T

his definition of loneliness is beautiful. In short, I also think about it concerning other types of creative works. People produce; they always create in solitude, even if surrounded by 1000 stimuli—the same to arrive.

Same as writing books for example! And then it is beautiful, it is lovely when we find ourselves in these races that everyone recognizes and we all recognize, and that each of us instead in his own life exists alone and this is something that whoever you say is beautiful because you are not really from alone, you are alone at the moment in which you have to be and not in the moment in which you need. And to get to the end of the race. And anyway, I imagine even there one is a bit like getting to finish something, a work, something like that. In the last marathon, even when 1000 people start, then after a few kilometers, you have to be alone because you have to deal with yourself. And there, then, they come into play. Mental factors also come into play, and I do not deny them, even spiritual ones, because there are moments where you can enter meditation while running.

freedom

I

t is called transcendence, so there are moments when you can also experience these sensations with training. In those moments, I feel perfect for getting there; I know it’s okay, you have to. There is a lot of effort and suffering behind it, too, because you don’t have to. Your brain must always tell you that you are hurting yourself when you are doing too much, that your body is wearing out. In reality, this is not the case. There are so many books that there are. There is a very famous writer who, if I don’t remember the name well, says that when you think you are on edge, you have only used about 40 of your resources. So this ultramarathon is then reflected in life because, in life, the difficulties seem easy to overcome. There is a very famous writer who, if I don’t remember the name well, says that when you think you are on edge, you have only used about 40 of your resources. So this ultramarathon is then reflected in life because, in life, the difficulties seem easy to overcome. I want to conclude with a beautiful word. I want to see what freedom brings to you. Well, freedom is a word; it’s quite a popular word. Let’s say that the freedom for many is to buy a lovely house and have a new car, to have the opportunity to spend a lot to do a lot. For me, freedom is not this; for me, space is having the possibility, as I said before, to make your life extraordinary and set yourself an ambitious goal within your limits. But the goal must be ambitious and fight, persevere, overcome every difficulty, and can achieve this goal. In failure, find the positive aspect of loss, even if they’re too; we must be free to fail. Because it is not sure that having a goal and trying to reach it can then be called, you may not get it, but there you must still be aware that you have given everything and therefore freedom is what for me is to take possession of your own lives, to eliminate the extra, to live. The essential thing is to try to give the maximum vent to one’s potential, try to understand what potential we have and try to do it in ours, throughout our life, to provide the maximum of this potential, to reach the maximum level of what we can do, therefore getting our limits. And freedom must be above all mental to bring down all those barriers. All those things that society imposes on the ordinary people who are next to us try to make us return to this prison of normality because everyone tells you it is, but maybe you run too much. But maybe your vegan or vegetarian diet is not good. Eat little protein, and get little vitamin B12. Here, this is one of the examples. Then there are many others. About everything you do about these things, you must go your own way and feel completely free to drop all these barriers and everything people try to bring back to their normalcy. Be free to be yourself. Our brain has barriers that we have built since we were born. Here, we must listen, put our bodies to the limit, and try to go beyond what the brain tells us. No, it does not. You are doing too much to overcome the limits; overcoming the limitations gives you another vision of freedom. Understand that there is more.

W

ell, because I think the same thing, with the same concept, but on a mental level, specific teaching in the selection makes one free to be oneself. It’s a bit like letting go of all prejudices, all the things that one for whom fears, everything that goes against being able to express oneself and be oneself, be full of life and what we have done, at the physical and mental level. And then, I thank you very much for your availability. “IM Italian” readers will be delighted to hear and read it. I hope, and maybe who knows... one of the following months, we can have the following goals achieved? I hope so; I sincerely hope my little story of leaving something, and in any case, are stories of ordinary people. However, they may still be heard closer by those who want to listen.
