💮 More Humano is a personal response of choosing and creating meaning
More Humano is both a virtual space and the personal identity of its author—a public yet deeply intimate platform dedicated to experimenting, discovering the world, and exploring oneself openly, in a uniquely personal manner.
Born out of the necessity to gather and organize interests that consistently emerge and evolve into passions, frustrations, and deeper reflections on existence, More Humano offers a gentle yet radical invitation to think differently. It seeks to propose alternative paths beyond standard perspectives without imposing or disturbing anyone. Accessible to anyone with an internet connection, More Humano remains a space rooted firmly in personal freedom and genuine self-expression.
The initial spark behind creating More Humano was the need to express the feeling of alienation surrounding identity and meaning. Its origins lie in an incomplete narrative titled Alloya and an accompanying Manifesto, which attempt, albeit in a rudimentary way, to intellectually elevate and frame these explorations.
More Humano, however, is not defined by a single project; it’s a growing collection, a site open to multiple potential projects, ever-changing and always human.
📚 Meaning
The expression “more humano” comes from the combination of “more”, meaning way, manner, according to the custom of, and “humano”, the ablative of humanus, meaning of man, human. The latin literal translation would be “according to the human way”, but its meaning extends beyond a mere description of an action performed by human beings.
In the context of the Latin language, a similar expression was used to refer to actions, habits, and customs that were distinctly human, as opposed to what was considered divine, animalistic, or mechanical. The “modus humanus” implied awareness, intentionality, and a capacity for choice unique to human beings, distinguishing them through their inclination for reflection, storytelling, and the construction of meaning.
