L’articolo, dedicato all’attività del gruppo WASP di cui Massimo Moretti è il fondatore, evidenzia come sia possibile conciliare l’avanzamento tecnologico con la creazione di un Paradiso in Terra: una società equa, ecocompatibile, scientificamente evoluta, totalmente open source. Questa non è utopia. È quello che sta accadendo grazie a progetti che rispondono concretamente ai bisogni fondamentali dell’uomo: Cibo, Rifugio, Salute, Energia, Lavoro, Cultura. Il caso WASP è indice di un cambiamento in atto. È un concentrato di tecnologia futuribile applicata in direzione sociale. È anche la dimostrazione lampante di come una visione etica sia praticabile all’interno di una logica aziendale. In più, è la dimostrazione di come la visione etica possa essere motore per sviluppare progetti e macchine tecnologicamente avanzate che si vendono per alimentare il sogno: la costruzione di un Paradiso in Terra.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the activities of the WASP group of which Massimo Moretti is the founder, and emphasizes how it is possible to reconcile technological progress with the creation of a heaven on earth: a society of equals, eco-compatible, scientifically evolved and completely open-source. This is not utopia. It is actually taking place thanks to projects that respond in concrete fashion to the basic needs of Man: food, home, health, energy, work and culture. The case of WASP is a pointer to changes that are occurring. An accumulation of futuristic technology geared towards a social application. It is also a clear demonstration of how an ethical vision is actually practicable within the logic of the business community. Moreover, it is the demonstration of how an ethical vision may become the driving force in developing projects and technologically advanced machines, which are then sold to feed the dream: to build heaven on earth.
