EDITORIAL<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Every generation believes it can command time, until reality laughs back. Today, that laughter is bitter, carried by endless wars, chaotic \u00a0diplomacy and provocations hurled like confetti in a tempest.<\/p>\n

In modern factories, millions of fly-drones roll off the assembly lines to test an adversary’s resilience, making 21st-century low-cost warfare no longer a matter of heroes but of systems.<\/p>\n

Dispersion, repetition and attrition are the new weapons…<\/p>\n

This transformation of warfare echoes the terrifying intuition of Jacques Spitz in La Guerre des mouches <\/em>(The War of the Flies<\/a>), where ordinary insects, having gained intelligence, ultimately overwhelm humanity through sheer numbers and relentless adaptability.<\/p>\n

What fiction once imagined in biological form, our century is now realising technologically, with swarms of autonomous drones capable of overwhelming the most sophisticated defences draining stockpiles, nerves and economies alike. As in Spitz\u2019s world, it is not brute force that prevails, but numbers, adaptation and the quiet tyranny of endurance in conflicts waged by myriads of small, inexhaustible actors.<\/p>\n

While our societies pour ever more energy and money into sculpting high-performance bodies in fitness centers, now modern temples of self-mastery curated for Instagram, our classrooms are suffocating under digital platforms and tools assisted by AI. It is as though we accept that muscles require discipline and restraint, yet forget that minds do too, in schools that should function as cognitive gyms where less truly is more.<\/p>\n

Everything narrows toward one simple yet chilling question: Who will be able to keep up?<\/p>\n

In this issue, dear readers, we offer no ready-made solutions, only a sometimes harsh but necessary clarity. For however demanding the road ahead may be, our future deserves that we face it with open eyes.<\/p>\n
