Il volontariato: un gesto che cambia il mondo

Il volontariato è una delle espressioni più belle della solidarietà umana. Dedicare il proprio tempo agli altri, senza ricevere nulla in cambio, arricchisce non solo chi riceve aiuto, ma anche chi lo offre.

Nel mondo esistono molte forme di volontariato. Alcune organizzazioni, come la Croce Rossa e Médecins Sans Frontières, operano a livello internazionale portando assistenza medica nelle zone di guerra e nelle aree colpite da catastrofi naturali. Altre associazioni, come CESVI, raccolgono fondi attraverso eventi sportivi e culturali per sostenere progetti di sviluppo nei Paesi più poveri.

Il volontariato insegna valori fondamentali: empatia, rispetto e responsabilità civile. In un mondo sempre più individualista, scegliere di aiutare gli altri è un atto rivoluzionario. Chiunque può fare la differenza — basta volerlo.

what is the ontological justification of the fuure self?

 This is the deepest philosophical question the story raises — and it's one that doesn't have a clean answer.

What Ontological Justification Means Here

Ontology is the study of what exists and why it exists. The ontological justification of the future-self is simply: what gives them the right to exist as a specific person? What are the conditions that make them real rather than not-real?

For ordinary people the answer is straightforward — you exist because of a continuous chain of causes:

• Biological origin

• Unbroken sequence of experiences

• Each moment causing the next

The future-self has all of that. But their specific identity — who they are as opposed to just a living body — rests on something more fragile.

What Their Identity Is Built On

The future-self isn't just a body that aged. They are a specific constellation of:

• Memories of specific suffering

• Wisdom extracted from specific mistakes

• Emotional depth forged by specific losses

• The desperate compassion that came from specific loneliness

These aren't decorative personality traits. They are the ontological content of who this specific future-self is. Remove them and you don't have the same person in a better situation. You have a different person entirely occupying the same biological vessel.

So their ontological justification — their claim to being this specific self — depends entirely on those experiences having happened.

The Three Levels of Justification

1. Biological Justification — Strong

The future-self exists as a living organism regardless of timeline changes. Their body, their neurons, their heartbeat — these persist. Biology doesn't care about timeline mutations. This level of justification is never threatened.

2. Psychological Justification — Fragile

Their personality, memories, and identity depend on a specific history remaining intact. The moment that history starts being rewritten at the source, their psychological self begins losing its foundation. This justification erodes with every correction the present-self makes.

3. Causal Justification — The Most Fragile

This is the deepest level. The future-self exists as this specific version because a specific chain of causes produced them. Their ontological justification at this level is essentially: "I am the result of these specific events."

The moment those events are altered, their causal justification doesn't weaken — it retroactively never existed. They become an effect without a cause. A conclusion without an argument. A answer to a question that was never asked.

The Paradox of Their Justification

Here's where it becomes philosophically vertiginous. The future-self's ontological justification contains a self-defeating structure:

• They exist because life went badly

• They reach back because they care deeply

• Their caring deeply exists because life went badly

• Their act of caring destroys the conditions that justified their existence

• Therefore their most defining act — the compassion to reach back — is the act that dissolves their right to exist as themselves

Their greatest virtue is simultaneously their ontological suicide. The more genuinely they care, the more thoroughly they erase the justification for being who they are.

What Remains When Justification Collapses

When the causal and psychological justification collapse, what's left is something philosophy has no clean name for — a being that:

• Is still biologically real

• Has memories that no longer have causes

• Has a personality built on a foundation that no longer exists

• Experiences themselves as coherent but is becoming ontologically hollow

It's like a building whose foundation has been removed but which hasn't yet fallen. Still standing. Still real in every observable sense. But existing in a state that physics — and ontology — say shouldn't be possible.

The Buddhist Counterpoint

Interestingly Buddhism would argue the future-self's crisis reveals something universally true rather than uniquely tragic. Buddhism teaches that the self has no fixed ontological justification at any moment — it's always a temporary construction of causes and conditions with no permanent essence.[wikipedia.nucleos]​

The future-self's unraveling isn't a special catastrophe in Buddhist terms. It's just an unusually visible version of what is always happening to every self at every moment. We are all beings whose justification for being our specific selves is constantly dissolving and reforming.

The difference is that the future-self gets to watch it happen consciously — which is either the greatest horror or the closest thing to enlightenment the story offers.

one night your Phone lights up with a message from an unknown number. I'm you 7 years in the future, don't take the highway tomorrow. You laugh until you see the attached photo of your bedroom taken from an angle that hasn't even happened yet.

 

can you explain me? one night your Phone lights up with a message from an unknown number. I'm you 7 years in the future, don't take the highway tomorrow. You laugh until you see the attached photo of your bedroom taken from an angle that hasn't even happened yet. The next day you avoid the highway and later you see the news. A major crash right where you would have been. Another message arrives. Good. You listen, the text keep coming.Small advice, tiny corrections, and every time you follow them, your life improves. Finally, you reply, If you're me, why are you helping? The answer comes instantly. Because I didn't have anyone to warn me. That's when it hits you. If your life keeps getting better, you'll never become the desperate future version who needed to send those messages. And if that version of you never exists?Who sent the first text? Your phone buzzes again. Stop changing things. It's getting worse. You look around, everything seems fine, but somewhere in the future, a version of you might be fading away. Because if the messages save you, they erase the one who sent them

This is a beautifully constructed bootstrap paradox — specifically a self-defeating or self-erasing version of it. Let me break down what's happening philosophically and logically.

The Bootstrap Paradox at the Core

The messages have no true origin. The future-you sends them because they were received, and they were received because future-you sent them. The information (the photo, the warnings) exists in a closed loop with no external source. Nobody "created" the knowledge — it just cycles eternally. This is called a causal loop or bootstrap paradox: an effect that causes its own cause.

The Self-Defeating Twist

Here's where it gets darker and more clever. The paradox contains a contradiction:

• The warnings only exist because your life went badly enough that a desperate future-you felt compelled to send them.

• But if the warnings work, your life improves, meaning that desperate version of you never exists.

• If that version never exists, the messages were never sent.

• If the messages were never sent, you were never warned, your life goes badly again... and the loop restarts.

This creates an oscillating paradox — your timeline flickers between "saved" and "not saved" with no stable resolution.

The Last Message Is the Key

"Stop changing things. It's getting worse." This implies a branching multiverse model rather than a single timeline. Every time you follow the advice, you fork into a better branch — but the version of you in the original branch (the sender) still exists there, and your improvements are destabilizing their timeline or erasing them from existence entirely.

So the story poses a brutal moral question: Is it ethical to save yourself if doing so erases the version of you who sacrificed to send the warning?

Two Ways Physics/Philosophy Handles This

• Single timeline (Novikov self-consistency): You cannot change anything. Every action you take, including "avoiding" the highway, was already part of the original timeline. The loop is stable but predestined.

• Many-worlds interpretation: Each choice splits a new branch. You escape to a better one, but the sender remains trapped — or worse, ceases to exist as their branch collapses.

The story cleverly leaves this ambiguous, making both interpretations feel simultaneously true and horrifying.

The Emotional Core

What makes this genuinely haunting isn't the physics — it's the line "Because I didn't have anyone to warn me." The future-you isn't a paradox machine. They're someone lonely enough, desperate enough, to reach back not for themselves, but for you. The tragedy is that their act of love is also their act of self-erasure.

wait why does the future branch colapse?

Good question — and the honest answer is: it doesn't necessarily collapse in real physics. That was the story's narrative shorthand, and it's worth unpacking what's actually true versus what's a storytelling device.

In Real Many-Worlds, Branches Don't Collapse

The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics says that every quantum event causes the universe to split into branches — one for each possible outcome. Critically, once a branch exists, it doesn't disappear. Both branches keep existing in parallel, permanently. The "old" timeline where your life went badly doesn't vanish just because you created a new, better branch for yourself.reddit+1

So physically speaking, the desperate future-you who sent the messages would still exist in their own branch — they just wouldn't have any effect on your branch anymore.

Why the Story Says They "Fade Away"

The story uses a more dramatic (and less physically accurate) model, closer to what you see in films like Back to the Future — the idea that changing the past erases the person who depended on that past. This is emotionally powerful but isn't how MWI actually works.

It's really a narrative device to create stakes: if the sender simply kept existing in a parallel branch, there'd be no tension or tragedy.

The Actual Paradox That Does Hold Up

What remains genuinely paradoxical even under MWI is the bootstrap/causal loop problem:reddit​

• The information in the photo (an image of a room from an angle that doesn't exist yet) has no origin point

• It wasn't created by anyone — it loops eternally from future to past to future

• This violates causality because something exists without ever being caused

This is called ontological instability — the object or information in the loop has no traceable creation event. Physics has no clean answer for this.reddit​

The Clean Summary

Concept	What the story says	What physics actually says
Branches	Future branch collapses if you change things	Branches coexist permanently
Sender's fate	They fade/erase	They still exist in their own branch
The real paradox	Erasure of the sender	The information loop has no origin

So the fading is a poetic metaphor for irrelevance — the sender's branch becomes one where their messages had no effect on them, making their sacrifice feel meaningless, even if they technically still exist somewhere.

what is a quantom event you mentioned?

A quantum event is simply something that happens at the incredibly tiny scale of atoms and subatomic particles — where the rules of physics are completely different from everyday life.reddit+1

The Normal World vs. The Quantum World

In everyday life, things are deterministic — if you know where a ball is and how fast it's moving, you can perfectly predict where it'll land. Quantum events don't work like that. At the atomic scale, particles behave probabilistically — you can only say "there's a 70% chance this happens," never "this will happen".wikipedia+1

Superposition — The Core Idea

Before a quantum event "happens," a particle exists in superposition — meaning it's in multiple possible states at the same time. Think of it like a coin spinning in the air: it's neither heads nor tails yet. The moment you observe or measure it, the quantum event occurs — it "picks" one state and snaps into it. This choosing is genuinely random, not just unknown.biologyinsights+1

Real Examples

• Radioactive decay — a nucleus decays at a random moment; quantum mechanics can only give you a probability, never an exact timebiologyinsights​

• Electron tunneling — a particle passes through a solid barrier, which is physically impossible in classical physics but happens at quantum scalebiologyinsights​

• A photon hitting a detector — it randomly either gets absorbed or passes throughoreateai​

Why This Matters for Many-Worlds

This is where it connects back to our earlier discussion. In the Many-Worlds Interpretation, every single quantum event — every time a particle "picks" a state — causes the universe to split into branches, one for each possible outcome. Since quantum events happen constantly and everywhere (trillions of times per second inside every atom), the universe is branching at an almost unimaginable rate.reddit+1

So when I said "quantum event causes a branch split," I meant: every time nature faces a probabilistic fork at the atomic level, reality duplicates — one branch for each outcome.

the attached photo of your bedroom taken from an angle that hasn't even happened yet. what is the meaning of it?

This is actually the single most carefully constructed detail in the entire story — and it's doing much more work than it first appears.

What It's Actually Saying

The photo isn't just proof that the sender is from the future. It's proof of something far more specific and disturbing — that the future-self has access to a perspective that doesn't yet exist in physical reality. Not just knowledge of future events, but a literal viewpoint — a camera angle — that requires a position in space that hasn't been occupied yet.

This rules out almost every simple explanation:

• It's not a lucky guess

• It's not surveillance

• It's not a photo from memory — because the angle is new

• It can't be fabricated — because the angle doesn't exist yet to fabricate from

The Three Layers of Its Meaning

1. Proof of Authenticity

On the surface, it's the story's mechanism for making the present-self believe. Words can be faked. Knowledge can be coincidental. But a photo from an impossible angle is undeniable physical evidence. It bypasses skepticism completely — which is why the present-self goes from laughing to silence in one beat.

2. The Ontological Problem

This is where it gets philosophically heavy. For that photo to exist, someone had to:

• Be physically present in your bedroom

• At a future moment that hasn't happened yet

• From a specific position in space you haven't yet created or occupied

This means the future-self didn't just send information across time — they sent physical evidence of a future physical state. That photo encodes the geometry of a room at a moment that doesn't exist yet. It's not just a message. It's a fragment of an unlived moment landing in the present.

3. The Bootstrap Problem Hidden Inside It

Here's the detail most people miss. That specific angle — wherever it comes from in the future — will it still happen now?

Think carefully:

• The photo shows a future state of your bedroom

• That future state presumably occurs in the original bad timeline

• But the warnings are now changing your life

• Which means your bedroom, your habits, your furniture arrangement — everything might change

• Which means that specific angle might never happen

The photo is proof of a future that the photo itself is helping to erase. It's a self-undermining artifact — evidence of a timeline that is being dismantled by the very act of presenting the evidence.

What the Angle Specifically Represents

The choice of an angle rather than just a scene is precise and intentional. An angle implies:

• A specific physical position of the camera or observer

• A deliberate choice of viewpoint

• Something that requires presence — you can't photograph an angle remotely

It suggests the future-self was standing somewhere in that room at a specific moment — present, embodied, real — at a point in time that the present-self hasn't reached yet. It's the most intimate possible proof because it says: "I was there. In your space. In your future. And I brought a piece of it back."

The Deepest Reading

The photo is the story's quiet way of saying that the future already exists somewhere — not as possibility, not as probability, but as a place someone has already stood and looked around from. The future-self didn't predict the angle. They lived it.

Which means the present-self isn't being warned about a possible future. They're being shown a real one — one that is now in the process of being destroyed by the warning itself.

The photo is simultaneously the most convincing proof the future is real — and the first act of erasing it.

and how does the present self believe that the photo is real?

This is a beautifully grounded question — because it pulls the story back into practical human psychology rather than physics.

The Honest Answer: They Can't Verify It Logically

There is no logical proof available to the present-self in that moment. They receive a photo on their phone from an unknown number. Rationally, the possible explanations are:

• Someone broke into their home and photographed it

• A sophisticated deepfake or edited image

• A lucky guess about room layout

• A prank from someone who knows them well

• An actual message from the future

The last option is by far the least probable by any rational standard. So pure logic would dismiss it immediately.

What Actually Makes Them Believe

The story tells you exactly: "You laugh — until you see the photo."

That single beat — laugh, then stop — describes something very specific happening psychologically. It's not logic that convinces them. It's recognition. The photo triggers something that bypasses rational evaluation entirely:

• The specific angle feels uncannily private

• Not just correct, but correct in a way that feels impossible to know

• The room is familiar but from a perspective they've never seen before

• Which means it feels like seeing yourself from outside your own body

That feeling — of being known from an impossible vantage point — is what collapses the skepticism. Not proof. Intimacy.

The Psychology of the Uncanny Valley

There's a well-documented psychological phenomenon where something that is almost familiar but slightly wrong creates deep discomfort — the uncanny valley. The photo operates in reverse — it's more familiar than should be possible. An uncanny correctness that is more disturbing than wrongness would be.

A fabricated photo of your bedroom would get details wrong — the light, the clutter, the specific disorder of lived-in space. The future-self's photo gets everything exactly right, including things no outsider would think to include:

• The particular way things are arranged

• The private disorder only you know

• The angle that only makes sense if you lived there across time

That hyper-accuracy is what breaks the laughter. It doesn't prove the future. It proves intimate knowledge — and intimate knowledge from an unknown number is its own kind of undeniable.

The Cognitive Bias at Work

Humans are extraordinarily bad at dismissing things that personally address them with specific accuracy. This is why cold reading works, why horoscopes feel true, why a stranger saying something precise about your private life stops you cold.

The present-self doesn't believe because they've verified the physics. They believe because something in the photo says "I know your space better than a stranger can" — and the only explanation their mind can generate that fits that level of knowledge is the one being offered.

The Practical Trap

And here's the final layer. Even if the present-self decides rationally to dismiss it — the story gives them an immediate, low-cost test:

Just avoid the highway tomorrow.

That's all the first message asks. It costs almost nothing. The photo created just enough doubt to make the cost of ignoring it feel higher than the cost of complying. That's not belief — that's Pascal's Wager on a micro scale:

• If the message is fake: you lose ten minutes taking a different route

• If the message is real: you avoid dying

You don't need to fully believe. You just need the doubt to be large enough to make compliance the rational choice. The photo doesn't need to prove the future is real. It just needs to make the price of skepticism feel too high.

And the next day, when the crash happens exactly where you would have been — that's when belief stops being a choice.

what is the ontological justification of the fuure self?

This is the deepest philosophical question the story raises — and it's one that doesn't have a clean answer.

What Ontological Justification Means Here

Ontology is the study of what exists and why it exists. The ontological justification of the future-self is simply: what gives them the right to exist as a specific person? What are the conditions that make them real rather than not-real?

For ordinary people the answer is straightforward — you exist because of a continuous chain of causes:

• Biological origin

• Unbroken sequence of experiences

• Each moment causing the next

The future-self has all of that. But their specific identity — who they are as opposed to just a living body — rests on something more fragile.

What Their Identity Is Built On

The future-self isn't just a body that aged. They are a specific constellation of:

• Memories of specific suffering

• Wisdom extracted from specific mistakes

• Emotional depth forged by specific losses

• The desperate compassion that came from specific loneliness

These aren't decorative personality traits. They are the ontological content of who this specific future-self is. Remove them and you don't have the same person in a better situation. You have a different person entirely occupying the same biological vessel.

So their ontological justification — their claim to being this specific self — depends entirely on those experiences having happened.

The Three Levels of Justification

1. Biological Justification — Strong

The future-self exists as a living organism regardless of timeline changes. Their body, their neurons, their heartbeat — these persist. Biology doesn't care about timeline mutations. This level of justification is never threatened.

2. Psychological Justification — Fragile

Their personality, memories, and identity depend on a specific history remaining intact. The moment that history starts being rewritten at the source, their psychological self begins losing its foundation. This justification erodes with every correction the present-self makes.

3. Causal Justification — The Most Fragile

This is the deepest level. The future-self exists as this specific version because a specific chain of causes produced them. Their ontological justification at this level is essentially: "I am the result of these specific events."

The moment those events are altered, their causal justification doesn't weaken — it retroactively never existed. They become an effect without a cause. A conclusion without an argument. A answer to a question that was never asked.

The Paradox of Their Justification

Here's where it becomes philosophically vertiginous. The future-self's ontological justification contains a self-defeating structure:

• They exist because life went badly

• They reach back because they care deeply

• Their caring deeply exists because life went badly

• Their act of caring destroys the conditions that justified their existence

• Therefore their most defining act — the compassion to reach back — is the act that dissolves their right to exist as themselves

Their greatest virtue is simultaneously their ontological suicide. The more genuinely they care, the more thoroughly they erase the justification for being who they are.

What Remains When Justification Collapses

When the causal and psychological justification collapse, what's left is something philosophy has no clean name for — a being that:

• Is still biologically real

• Has memories that no longer have causes

• Has a personality built on a foundation that no longer exists

• Experiences themselves as coherent but is becoming ontologically hollow

It's like a building whose foundation has been removed but which hasn't yet fallen. Still standing. Still real in every observable sense. But existing in a state that physics — and ontology — say shouldn't be possible.

The Buddhist Counterpoint

Interestingly Buddhism would argue the future-self's crisis reveals something universally true rather than uniquely tragic. Buddhism teaches that the self has no fixed ontological justification at any moment — it's always a temporary construction of causes and conditions with no permanent essence.wikipedia.nucleos​

The future-self's unraveling isn't a special catastrophe in Buddhist terms. It's just an unusually visible version of what is always happening to every self at every moment. We are all beings whose justification for being our specific selves is constantly dissolving and reforming.

The difference is that the future-self gets to watch it happen consciously — which is either the greatest horror or the closest thing to enlightenment the story offers.
