Summary/Abstract: The year 1973 becomes a symbolic departure point for a journey undertaken together with a group of Italian intellectuals to seemingly unconnected events and locations. Just like successive several seconds long TikTok narrations, consecutive paragraphs of this text draw attention to the need to change both current and direction. The presented text attempts to flow in the manner of a stream of information without allowing time for reflection. Do new models of thinking, nourished by artificial intelligence, take us back into Stone Age caves? A world based on algorithmic media resembles a castle of crisscrossing fates, in which contemporary illiterates meet to examine in silence successive pages of TikTok narratives.
