[Fis] Status of FIS?

Tue Jan 6 18:06:36 CET 2026

Caro Pedro e cari tutti,

I was so loved in Naples because I made good use of the "study, mind, and
rigor with which it is possible to create something of great value." "Is my
work exciting or distressing? It is both, because economics is both
beautiful and ugly": beautiful, because it can be tied to the ortho-praxis
of values, not prices; ugly, because it is tied to the ortho-praxis of
disvalues or prices.

In this regard, I affirm and agree that Artificial Intelligence will never
be conscious, because consciousness is also something of quantum fields.
Our will is part of who we are, that is, of the body, because we are not
just a body, but also of our will that discerns good from evil, in unity
with quantum bodies.

Consciousness goes far beyond the machine, which is only a game of symbols,
which in humans acquire or are a meaning. I am the quantum part as a whole
of the whole in a holistic way: every part of a whole has a potential
within itself. However, one cannot elaborate a theory of everything. After
Adriano Olivetti ̶ Dedication «…Francesco Rizzo's suggestion, welcomed as
always with conviction, offers us the opportunity to also think about the
well-deserving Olivetti Foundation which, since the 1950s of the last
century, has worked with the young people of the time. With other cultural
forces, aggregating in the “Community-Movement” those who, then as now,
believed and believe in the need to adapt those interventions to the
continuous changes in the needs of the city…» [126, p. 147] in Italy there
has been little technical innovation improperly defined as artificial
intelligence. We should have (and must) study the double to make the v. our
own. by Dante Alighieri: «You were not made to live like brutes, but to
follow virtue and knowledge» [31, The Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto XXVI,
119].

Distinti saluti.

Caro Pedro e cari tutti

«Io sono stato tanto amato a Napoli, perché ho fatto buon uso dello
«studio, della mente e del rigore con i quali è possibile creare qualcosa
di buon pregio». «Il mio lavoro è eccitante o angosciante? È l’uno e
l’altro insieme perché la scienza economica è bella e brutta ad un tempo»:
bella, perché può essere legata all’orto-prassi dei valori, non dei prezzi;
brutta, perché legata all’orto-prassi dei dis-valori o dei prezzi.

A tal proposito, affermo-condivido che l’Intelligenza artificiale non sarà
mai cosciente, perché la coscienza è, anche, qualcosa dei campi
quantistici. La nostra volontà fa parte di chi siamo, cioè del corpo,
perché non siamo solo un corpo, ma anche della nostra volontà che opera il
discernimento del bene o del male, in uno con i corpi quantistici.

La coscienza va molto oltre la macchina che è solo un gioco di simboli, che
negli uomini acquistano o sono un significato. Io sono la parte quantistica
quale intero del tutto in maniera olistica: ogni parte di un tutto ha un
potenziale dentro di sé. Tuttavia, non si può elaborare una teoria del
tutto. Dopo Adriano Olivetti ̶ Dedica «…il suggerimento di Francesco Rizzo,
accolto come sempre con convincimento, ci offre la possibilità di pensare
anche alla benemerita Fondazione Olivetti che fin dagli anni ’50 del Secolo
scorso, ha operato, con i giovani, dell’epoca. Con altre forze culturali,
aggregando nel “Movimento-Comunità” coloro che, allora come ora, hanno
creduto e credono nella necessità di adeguare quegli interventi ai continui
mutamente delle esigenze della città…» [126, p. 147] in Italia vi è stata
una scarsa innovazione tecnica impropriamente definita intelligenza
artificiale. Si sarebbe dovuto (e si deve) studiare il doppio per fare
nostro il *v*. di Dante Alighieri: «Fatti non foste a vivere come bruti, ma
per seguire virtù e conoscenza» [31, *La Divina Commedia*, Inferno, Canto
XXVI, 119]-

Distinti saluti.

Francesco
