Cosa resta quando i ricordi si fanno più labili? E come si fa a tenere stretti fatti e parole, quelli lontani come quelli di ieri? Se lo chiede Gioele Dix nel suo nuovo spettacolo, “Arrivato a questo punto”, in tournée nei teatri italiani. L’attore affronta con leggerezza un tema che leggero non è: la memoria e i suoi improvvisi vuoti.
Il suo personaggio prova a rimettere insieme chi è partendo dal suono: musiche, voci, persino rumori di fondo che appartengono alla sua storia personale. Il percorso è fatto di slanci e inciampi. Si va da una barzelletta rimasta a metà ai racconti del padre, scampato all’Olocausto. Nel mezzo, voci umane ed effetti sonori si intrecciano, con sinfonie delicate che convivono con ronzii fastidiosi.
Ne nasce un’indagine interiore intensa e ironica, in cui lo spettatore può riconoscersi e, forse, trarre anche un po’ di conforto. Lo spettacolo è inoltre un omaggio al teatro stesso, arte antica che sa far vedere senza ricorrere alle immagini, e senza abusarne.
“Vorrei essere meno inquieto. Ma soprattutto meno pigro: la mattina, per me, è come se dovessi scalare una montagna; il pomeriggio mi sento in piano; la sera scendo con gli sci sulla pista nera” così si presenta l”attore a Sette de Il Corriere della Sera.
Il ricordo va alla caricatura di Alberto Tomba per la Gialappa’s Band: “Curiosamente, pur essendo lui un personaggio all’apparenza molto spavaldo, è riservatissimo, e infatti dopo che smise di sciare non fece altro. Una volta gli chiesi il per- ché e lui rispose che aveva dedicato la vita allo sci e che non voleva fare lo scemo in giro con cose che non gli competevano”.
E ancora: “I Gialappi mi avevano contattato lo scorso anno per GialappaShow, ma poi non se ne è fatto nulla. Però ho preso parte al docufilm di Walter Veltroni che racconta la loro storia”.

Mihirkant Upadhyaya has a Ph.D. and more than 10 years of experience at Intel.
But at age 41, he embarked on gaining another degree to level up in his career.
Upadhyaya says that doing an MBA equips him with skills that AI lacks.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Mihirkant Upadhyaya, 42, who works at Intel and lives in Oregon. The following has been edited for length and clarity. Business Insider has verified his employment and education.
After studying computer engineering for my bachelor's, I pivoted into physics.
Two master's degrees and a Ph.D. in nanoscale science and engineering later, I got my dream job in the semiconductor industry at Intel in 2015.
As my career evolved, I realized I also wanted to do an MBA to step up my game.
My Ph.D. gave me relevant skills to take on the workforce
During my Ph.D., I focused on a semiconductor manufacturing technology called EUV lithography. I was excited to work at Intel because it does both chip design and manufacturing, so I knew I'd get a good overview of the chip-making process.
You don't need a Ph.D. to work in semiconductors, as there are so many areas outside the lab you can work in, like finance and legal.
On a personal level, though, having a Ph.D. helped me feel prepared to step into the workforce. It gave me discipline and the ability to be comfortable with ambiguity. My research mindset and technical background gave me the confidence to take ownership of outcomes and tasks.
There were definitely moments where I had self-doubt doing a Ph.D. You watch your peers go on to earn big bucks after their bachelor's and master's while you live on a modest stipend. However, the experience shaped me into who I am. I'd say I'm more patient, sharper, and more resilient.
I reached a stage where I felt I needed more education to thrive in my job
After about five years in research and development at Intel, I moved into supply chain roles, which have involved managing relationships and negotiating contracts. At this point, I realized I was missing certain skills.
My current role has a greater emphasis on executive communication and financial analysis. When I presented to an executive team, my manager had to step in on a number of occasions to get the room to respond, making what I was saying more high-level using business-driven terms. I also didn't quite understand certain things when I worked with the finance teams on contract negotiations.
To step up my game, I started a two-year hybrid MBA course in September 2025, alongside my full-time job. It was energizing to get back to the classroom at age 41.
I take one week off a quarter to do in-person sessions, and the rest of the time I'm doing online learning three days a week. My company is partly funding this, which is useful since MBAs can carry a $100,000 price tag.
Upadhyaya estimates that he's invested $100,000 into his post-graduate education.

By the time I've finished my MBA, I'll have done nine years of postgraduate study, investing an estimated $100,000 into that education, aside from scholarships and tuition waivers. Without question, it's been worth it. I haven't pursued the degrees to accumulate credentials, but to serve my career at various stages of my life. The MBA is addressing a concrete skills gap I identified after years in my industry.
I believe higher education is helping me become more irreplaceable in the age of AI
The AI boom made me take a hard look at what I bring to the table. I saw that some of what I did could eventually be automated. That realization was humbling.
Instead of trying to compete with what AI is already good at, I wanted to strengthen the areas where I knew it fell short. AI is great at processing and analyzing information. It has scale and speed, but it lacks the truly insightful judgment that a person can gain from years of learning a skill.
Upadhyaya said he's encountered limits to AI's capabilities.

In my previous role at Intel, I found that AI couldn't tell me how to troubleshoot issues involving new or custom-made equipment because the context was so unique to my situation.
Meanwhile, in my current role, while AI could probably help me generate financial models, it can't read the room, build relationships, or have synergy with another person. My MBA course benefits me in this regard because we do lots of group activities, even online through Zoom, where we can interact with each other.
I think that in the age of AI, finding a field you really care about, becoming an expert in it, and staying curious to keep learning can help you become irreplaceable.

O voo LA3045 que partiria do Aeroporto Internacional de Belo Horizonte, em Confins, para o Aeroporto de Congonhas, em São Paulo, nesta quinta-feira (22), foi cancelado após uma ameaça de bomba.O aeroporto, por meio de nota, apontou que assim que foi informado da ocorrência, acionou os protocolos de segurança previstos no Plano de Emergência do Aeroporto e as autoridades competentes.
Já a empresa aérea Latam Airlines Brasil, responsável pelo voo, destacou que a segurança dos passageiros é inegociável.
” A companhia reforça que a segurança é um valor inegociável em todas as suas atividades e que segue rigorosamente os mais elevados padrões internacionais para garantir uma operação segura a todos”, apontou a companhia.
Segundo apurações da Rádio Itatiaia, a Polícia Federal, que também foi acionada, afirmou que adotou todos os procedimentos de segurança necessários diante da situação de risco. Segundo a corporação, o voo foi cancelado porque as verificações foram concluídas em um horário que inviabilizou a decolagem, devido às questões operacionais relacionadas aos horários de pousos e decolagens do aeroporto.
Ameaça de bomba
Apurações da Itatiaia destacaram que a aeronave permaneceu no pátio do aeroporto por cerca de cinco horas, e mais de 170 passageiros foram afetados e precisaram remarcar a viagem. O voo LA3045 tinha previsão de decolagem por volta das 20h25, com destino ao Aeroporto de Congonhas, em São Paulo.
A suspeita de ameaça começou após funcionários encontrarem uma carta no banheiro da aeronave com menção a um possível ataque a bomba. Durante a ocorrência, passageiros e tripulantes passaram por procedimentos de segurança, incluindo a inspeção de bagagens.
