Cos'è la vita | Gianvito Martino | TEDxReggioEmilia
In questo affascinante intervento, il Professor Gianvito De Martino esplora la complessità della vita attraverso una lente multidisciplinare che unisce fisica, chimica, biologia e psicologia. Con un approccio basato sul modello emergentista, De Martino ci conduce in un viaggio che parte dagli atomi e dalle molecole fino ad arrivare alla mente umana, un’entità materiale ed emergente capace di influenzare e trasformare la nostra stessa biologia attraverso l’epigenetica. Qual è il ruolo dello stress, delle relazioni e dell'ambiente nella nostra esistenza? Come possiamo plasmare il nostro futuro e quello delle generazioni successive, andando oltre i limiti imposti dal DNA? De Martino ci invita a scoprire il nostro potere di scelta, ricordandoci che non siamo predestinati: l’educazione e la consapevolezza possono diventare strumenti potenti per determinare il nostro destino. Un discorso che sfida il determinismo genetico, celebra il coraggio della conoscenza e ci ispira a vedere la vita come un ecosistema in cui mente, corpo e ambiente si influenzano reciprocamente. /// With this fascinating speech, Professor Gianvito De Martino explores the complexity of life through a multidisciplinary lens connecting physics, chemistry, biology and psychology. With an approach based on an emergentist model, De Martino guides us through a journey that starts from atoms and molecules, up to the human mind, an emerging and material entity which is able to influence and transform our own biologic system through epigenetics. What is the role of stress, relationships and environment in our existence? How can we shape our own and the next generations’ future, by going beyond the limits imposed by DNA? De Martino invites people to discover the power of choice, and reminds them that they are not destined: education and awareness can become powerful instruments to determine their own fate. This speech challenges genetic determinism and celebrates the courage of knowledge, an inspiration to see life as an ecosystem where mind, body and environment are all influenced by each other.

He advocates for societal changes that support individuals, such as policies recognizing a "family of one," and calls for elevating the status of single living to be on par with marriage. Whether you're single by choice or circumstance, this talk invites you to embrace the Solo movement, where singlehood is celebrated—not just tolerated—and redefine what it means to live a remarkable life of your own.
