angels can fly because they can take
themselves seriously the Angelus a
novella cassano Brenda seconded
Jarrett’s a Chesterton isn’t a great
quote and is I could stop here because
the idea that in order to fly you have
to get rid of things of weight of
commitments and but is a lesson that you
neatly somehow is difficult to accept we
have a wonderful world for Leger Itza
maybe even better than lightness but
he’s got a bet
Loretta he has a bad reputation I wrote
down a few Akuma sonali director what
does that mean in Italian means I’ve
been silly Oona personally jeera means a
lightweight Oona literally jeera shallow
something shall I read something shallow
well Loretta is is a great quality that
we do not appreciate enough so in order
to fly you need to be light and to be
Leggero how do you do that you have to
give up things as I say and the load is
everywhere we live heavy lights and the
moment I was asked to become I’m not a
young man as you can see from my hair
I’ve been asked to become the editor in
chief magazine to be an editor is
something that I carefully avoided all
my life I wanted to write I wanted to
travel not to edit anything but then
there are different reason why I decided
to do that one is a lot of good people
young new people I could bring along
with me and it’s nice to pass things on
to the next generation and the
excitement of of bringing together
different ages different backgrounds
into a into any working environment is
it’s better than anything you can have
in in and I hope than in academia and
everywhere people understand that bring
any talents competencies in ages
okay and of course they’re all
everybody’s there is younger than me and
if that should be actually age sixty
years old just turn 60 and I decided
that had to be a bit patronizing
otherwise that’d be too good so how can
I be patronizing with my young
journalists I had one sign only one
advice for them and it was men OH Emilio
Manor Emilio is different from less is
more in English less is more ameno a
deep you we are more sophisticated any
Italians can be extremely sophisticated
when they want to be may know Emilio is
even better less is better and how did
we do that so they have only one sign in
the middle a dot see on health corridor
Sarah said there is only one sign and is
main a median that’s me that’s a
self-portrait please note this thing we
want you know editors want to do
everything hire people come up with
ideas and even draw their own portrays
what does that mean that’s a new set
right brand new that’s number five came
out today everything is about likeness
and everything is about manner Emilio
cover just one thing on the cover right
so one question that everybody asks
different one color one question
no like celebrity cell abilities are
everywhere in the magazines and in the
media we don’t need celebrities here we
have to our ask a question and give an
answer
meanwhiie millio means formality or
informality means that I am spend as
much time as I can with my journal
and sometimes that we show we hope the
editor stays in his office and doesn’t
cut me all the time but I do and I
encourage them no one calls me when they
call me diretory they they have
something in mind they have something
they are being sly they have something
planned now when they go and they call
me back I feel better but it’s important
I know I’m talking to a magnificant or
ever think about that
magnifico that will be in English or in
America I know that some people in
America will be listening to these and
Magnifico rhetoric can you imagine if
you walk into Harvard or MIT and they
call you oh the wonderful principal you
be but in Italy is built in I have to
say that I’m Politecnico it’s not the
first time that I’m here I’m very proud
to invite me again you don’t have that
you use one of the of the academic
institution it to realize well enough or
soon enough sorry that it is all about
lighting is about speed and about coming
up and but of course we bring something
with us and one of them is Magnifico
rhetoric wonderful no i’ll from tomorrow
after this afternoon I’ll go back to my
office and say ok call me wonderful
editor why not
places the the person in charge of you
know fixing the office they say what can
we bring into the office you know what
you need is 20 people and you some of
them knew what would they have to do you
don’t have to bring anything you have to
bring out and lots of thing right now
lots of cupboards bookshelves and and
cubicles and I say I want everything out
and all of a sudden the light again that
word came into the office physically and
it’s a great place to be with a lot of
young new people you walk in and you say
wow my son was 24 and therefore very
wise and he’s so wise and he didn’t want
to become a journalist he’s a farmer
much smarter but he wasn’t he came in
with this farmer look he stood – and
look said dad it looks like it like a
newspaper from a TV series
and there was a great compliment Evy is
the the way in newspapers but it never
never happened
set has been there for 30 years why
because more books more people more
newspaper more shell more everything but
places are important good places nice
places beautiful places produce good
nice beautiful ideas do never
underestimate the importance of the
place of work you have to be happy it
doesn’t have to be a royal or whatever
you’re smiling you say you think of your
office or your lab but it doesn’t matter
you must feel comfortable and the people
coming in must feel comfortable places
are important and again how do you make
them nice take out things you don’t want
they’re terrified you know I said we
receive as you imagine a lot of books
for reviews and like dozens every day
and after two weeks books are everywhere
the like gremlins they attack you and so
what I did is you know okay you look you
look you need some books you keep some
books you can use my office as your as
your library walk in everybody can walk
in they know where the keys are they
they but do not transform this place in
spatterbox
and we created the place called Fort
Holabird or free stealing and everybody
a courier can go and pick up a book and
in fact every book is finding a home
isn’t it wonderful
likeness and many million less is more
means also and that’s very important
meetings the best meetings the sorry the
best meeting is the one you don’t have I
made a mistake we started a meeting on
Friday and meeting on on Monday than a
medium Monday morning I realized we
spent live submitting and by the way I
have one of my journeys here so
Stephanie are yours you are the first to
note we have abolished from now on every
meeting we talk to each other as human
beings and people in meetings what do
they do
they look at their phones
I’m glad it’s a small place and I can
see all of you and I hope I’m
interesting enough so you’re looking at
me but it’s lovely
next time you go into a public speak you
go from the back and you see all the
lights you see what others lights or
some people will die I’m tweeting
because it’s so interview not tweeting
you are chatting on whatsapp you are
checking your status on or on Facebook
you’re not tweeting and even if you are
while you write you tweet you miss half
of the talk so don’t tweet don’t now do
it later if you want to okay so what I
did is prohibit oh use our telephone
each other are strictly forbidden to use
your smartphones and they look at me and
say okay that’s what you can use your
smartphone if you think you have
something urgent but you have to pay one
euro every time you look at your
smartphone we put a little thing and got
it in the form of a peak of a violet
peak don’t ask me why where you put the
money and so every time I’d say you won
euro so now we have so much money we’re
gonna have a pizza tonight with that
money because and would you believe
first of all one of us he’s not here at
the moment she’s actually she’s probably
spent half of a salary but that it works
tremendously well 101 and then people
all of a sudden meetings became shorter
now they’d gone all together they become
shorter I haven’t finished debate we’re
speaking English now but there is one
sentence and I deeply hate disregard
despise I’m trying to find the right
word in in Italia is solo de Cordoba
I agree but when you hear I agree but
means these people disagree and it’s
perfectly science and everything you do
in Polytechnic when newspaper comes from
this Agreement Oh Holly disagreement but
say so
may I disagree
of course the breeki have that one way
yeah you know yes I think basically
right but that’s you know the British
are the British everybody else in the
world so politely and with a smile on
your face and say I don’t quite agree I
had to say demand especially the younger
in my in my in my group they tend to
agree a lot but I wanted to make life
easier for them that about overcrowding
you know means let’s make it
what did I do I gave them a listen to
this – how do you say polite like signs
you know inside they are those things
that policemen carried to stop you this
palette in Italian I’m afraid that my
English in on this one I have been a
policeman in English I’ve been speaking
a writer but not a policeman you know
the one one red one green I gave them I
picked the seven people that tend to
disagree more often and it’s a instead
of you know feeling embarrassed finding
a way spending five minutes to tell me
that you don’t want to do what I told
you or the idea that I proposed at the
cover or the article is you use your red
or your green like a traffic light oh
and now it’s great why don’t we do these
names we read okay no good okay next
okay it’s of course it’s a it’s a also
it’s – to make you smile to make them
smile but it’s deeply serious give
people the possibility to disagree in a
likeable normal way and your workplace
will be better almost done thanks how
much overcrowding how many you could
apply what I describe my own magazine
but you can do the problem with
overcrowding means how many males we are
destroying emails because all of us
receive so many mails no matter how many
filters we have we becomes we get so
many mails that we tend to miss the
important one it’s happening to me at an
extraordinary speed never happened last
year
that every day I miss an important male
because he suffocated
now that I become an editor I receive
emails as a writer email as a TV person
email as a book writer email as a
whatever and now I got all the email as
an editor I threaten people say you
don’t see see me anymore
you hate someone BCC him I don’t want to
know and it is important coming talk to
me okay
Twitter we are sinking Twitter is
sinking Twitter is after it Twitter is
is what a eight years old was born in
2009 I’m proud I have more than 1
million followers but it’s not possible
every time I go on television I get
insulted and offended and threatened by
20 people and I know that some people
I hope even in this room they think that
after all you know there are journalists
you know worse than I am oh it after all
I’m a decent person I hope so there will
be my Nobel Prize it’s not possible
twitter has become the amount of hate
and numbers of tweets look I read a lot
the other day some one of the founder of
Twitter said they’re giving everybody a
new possibility to express their opinion
was a mistake I don’t think so I don’t
want I don’t want to think so but I
think something is be done because again
is overcrowding mail Twitter and it’s
it’s like it’s the law of nature mail is
gonna it’s gonna be it’s already been
replaced by good old SMS in our now in
our phones
bye what’s up by personal communication
by because it’s people don’t Twitter
people will simply give up I could go on
and on I’m in Italy
most of you are Italians I know the
samel people listening to these are not
Italian but I tell you that is a program
and that’s my little TV home nowadays
it’s called autumn meadow with my friend
and colleague Lily Gruber
and why is that that progress were
so well and every all the other
political talk show simply could is less
is more
meaner Emilio it’s half an hour you can
put up with the problem within the
Democratic Party for half an hour but no
more thanks what half an hour every
couple of weeks is okay but no more
but again all this crazy program lasting
for hours in I need to talk about the
same things people are giving up simply
are watching something else the reason
why football is so popular there are two
reason why because the background is
green everything that’s got a green
background is refreshing reassuring and
rest yes golf golf snooker gambling no
matter Sylvain is not for you that’s the
northern Italian or the league but okay
let me finish with these I try to
explain with math as much passion as I
could and that isn’t as a matter of
dropping weights and giving up things
you know in everything we do in our
workplace in our but things are
reassuring quantity is reassuring and
that’s a real problem
some people feel reassured by repeating
and doing the same thing and having more
of the same I started with my magazine
now and I want to end with the book that
I really like you to read at some point
a small book again man you Emilio to to
torna it’s big the author is Isaiah
Berlin you mentioned that I’ve been at
Oxford with a grand title of Isaiah
Berlin visiting scholar which of course
I didn’t deserve but as abilene run run
away because of the Nazi in from the
Baltics Baltic states in the first half
of the 20th century and became one of
the greatest political mind and literary
mind of Oxford one of the great Oxonian
is a celebrity I was passed away
unfortunately he
this book called the Hedgehog and the
Fox and I really just a few lines and
you know why I’m bringing this up now at
the end of my little talk
there is a line among the fragments of
the Greek poet our key locus which says
the Fox knows many things but the hedge
dog knows one big thing scholars have
differed about the correct
interpretation of those dark words which
may mean no more than the Fox for all
his cunning is defeated by the hedge
dogs one defense but taken figuratively
figuratively the words can be made to
yield the sense in which they mark one
of the deepest differences which divide
writers and thinkers and it may be human
beings in general is great is Fox’s
light fast changing adapting and
Hedgehog which are not bad they do one
things and academia newspaper politics
everyone in this room can be divided
into foxes and Hedgehog Volpe Ritchie I
am I think I’m a fox and I know that I
have to learn something deep to go deep
to be to concentrate or and do well what
I am doing I have a lesson to learn from
the hedge dogs but there are many
lessons that the hedge dogs that Ritchie
can learn from a fox because the Fox is
light and goes quickly from one thing to
another so I think more and more now is
the time of the Fox and because Ted TEDx
is shortened to the point
my motto is Meno Emilio I think I’ve
talked long enough thank you
you
themselves seriously the Angelus a
