Two letters that, in the language of numbers, mean “first half of the year.” January to June. Six months that, in 2026, have once again placed Spain at the center of the world tourism map. 63.8 billion euros spent by 46.6 million international visitors. 7% more spending and 4.6% more arrivals than in the same…
I’ve spent four years writing my next book. Or, perhaps more accurately, I’ve spent four years trying to figure out which book truly deserves to be written. During this time, I’ve written hundreds of pages and dedicated many more hours to reading, researching, conversing, traveling, giving lectures, and observing how the world is changing. I’ve…
Education is almost never trending. Although it should be. It doesn’t generate the urgency of a stock market crash, the fascination of a new artificial intelligence, or the immediate outrage of a political controversy. Education operates on a different timescale. Its successes take years to become visible. So do its failures. Perhaps that’s why we…
LinkedIn has become the leading laboratory for artificial intelligence applied to professional content. And the data is beginning to reveal something undeniable. The network where expertise, leadership, talent, work, and independent thought are most discussed is also one of the most saturated with texts generated or assisted by machines. This isn’t an isolated feeling. It’s…
A few days ago, a couple of friends asked me why football was overshadowing everything. They said it with good intentions, with a certain unease, perhaps with some weariness, perhaps with that understandable feeling that there are much more important issues that should occupy more space in our conversations, on our screens, in our headlines,…
From June 11 to July 11, 2026, while 48 teams competed in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, something more profound was happening in laboratories, hospitals, and research centers around the world. These weren’t just news stories. They were turning points . Moments when medicine stops treating symptoms and begins to…
The 2026 World Cup is not just a sporting competition: it’s the biggest showcase of national branding ever concentrated in a single event. With 48 teams competing simultaneously, every jersey, every gesture from the fans, and every communication dFecision becomes a statement about what it means to be Argentinian, Japanese, Moroccan, or Cape Verdean. But…
Two weeks ago my MacBook Pro started malfunctioning. At first, they were small things. A screen that froze for too long. A file that took too long to open. An unexpected restart. Nothing particularly serious on its own, but each glitch had a cumulative effect: it stressed me out a little more. A few days…
There’s an image that’s been haunting me for days. It’s the image of Hugo Broos, 74 years old , sitting on the South African bench with the serenity of someone who has already won an Africa Cup of Nations, played in a World Cup in Mexico ’86, and now returns to the biggest event forty…
June ends today. Some months pass. And some months change everything. June 2026 is one of the latter. Not because one big thing happened. But because twenty seemingly different things happened that, when you look at them together, tell the same story. Artificial intelligence has ceased to be a technology industry and has become a…
