Plutarch's Scalpel: How to Regain Your Mind in a World of Noise

This article examines the relevance of Plutarch's thought in the face of the contemporary crisis of attention and information overload. The author argues that true listening is not a passive reflex, but an active ethical and cognitive practice that builds the internal architecture of reason. In an age of digital distraction, where narcissistic forms of expression dominate, a return to this ancient discipline becomes a diagnostic tool enabling the recovery of autonomy. The text combines classical philosophy with modern psychology, highlighting the role of executive functions and self-regulation in the maturation process. Listening is presented here as a school of impulse inhibition and internalization of reason, which allows individuals to maintain sound judgment in a world filled with communication noise.
