Geraldine Sinyuy, Director, IHRAM African Secretariat, Cameroon, Interviews a Rare-Gifted Brazilian Scientist, Artist, Social Technologist, and Writer, Prof. Dr. HC Vicente Pironti

Geraldine Sinyuy: Hello Vicente, thank you for accepting to be interviewed by me. Please tell us about yourself.
Vicente Pironti: Fraternal greetings, sister of the path, sister of light, sister Geraldine. I believe I am a poem written in partnership between life and death. My earthly arrival took place on September 11, 1968, in the city of Limeira-SP, Brazil. I was born under extreme and almost surreal circumstances: a young pregnant woman, practically homeless and with signs of Indigenous and African descent, arrived at the hospital with generalized infection. She passed away as I was born — equally infected and with no chance of survival. In this tragic scene, my adoptive parents learned of the situation. Against the will of their entire family — who insisted that the child was destined to die — my mother Maria answered firmly:
"I choose this child. I will give him life."
And so it was. Against all odds of death, blindness, paralysis, and brain injury, a miracle unfolded. At the age of 3, fully recovered, I heard my story for the first time. I can still recall the atmosphere, my parents’ words, and the joy I felt in discovering my mission: to promote the Culture of Generosity on Earth — in memory of both my biological and adoptive mothers.
Today, I am a scientist, writer, and founder of the Open University Humaniza and the Asavika Sciences. I am committed to a single message: compassion must be integrated into every dimension of society — from the economy and the state to science, technology, and artificial intelligence.

Geraldine Sinyuy: What prompted you to become a writer? I know that you are a scientist.
Vicente Pironti: Although my birth was extremely radical — marked by a life-threatening infection and the death of my biological mother — it seems that this moment of rupture triggered a profound reaction within my body, mind, and spirit. From early childhood, I began to show signs of extraordinary physical and mental strength, almost as if my organism had responded by activating hidden potentials for survival and growth.
I was a researcher before I could read — curious, imaginative, and deeply sensitive to the invisible layers of reality. At the age of 7, I told a schoolmate: “I will be a writer,” after showing him the first chapter of a book I had written.
Between the ages of 5 and 6, my father began to train me in mental control techniques and chess. And from 7 to 9, I lived immersed in nature — riding horses like an Indigenous child, swimming with them in rivers, and cultivating an intense connection to the Earth and to something ancient and sacred. Those years shaped not only my body, but also my soul.
At age 8, I read 15 books in 15 days from the school library — a sign I now understand as hyperfocus, a trait associated with high-functioning autism (Asperger’s syndrome), which I was diagnosed with only decades later. This deep relationship with imagination, memory, and knowledge naturally led me to writing.
I became a writer because I was born with a burning need to transform pain into poetry, visions into philosophy, and dreams into action. Writing became the intimate place where I could cry, pray, heal, and love the world — as I said over and over in my journal: “God, I love You. God, I love You. God, I love You.”

Sinyuy Geraldine: When did you start writing?
Vicente Pironti: Writing, for me, did not begin with pen and paper — it began with spirit and fire. Between the ages of 10 and 12, I was already a high-performance swimmer, among the top in Latin America. I trained rigorously every day and traveled frequently. Yet, in parallel, I was living a silent revolution inside: Around the age of 13, I had a profound cognitive leap — especially in mathematics — and became a finalist in Brazil’s most competitive academic contest, just one year after struggling with basic arithmetic.
At the same time, I was also a co-founder of one of Brazil’s first children's computer clubs. But something deeper was happening: I began having recurring dreams, vivid and painful, of the Spanish invasion in 1500. In those dreams, I was an Indigenous witnessing the tragedy. I woke up crying and would write — poetry, prayers, and reflections — every single night.
This period was my initiation as a writer. I didn’t share these writings with anyone. But later, I was referred to a psychiatrist and transpersonal researcher who told me: "You are a polymath. One day, something powerful will happen. You will leap."
And it did. Years later, I left my career as a systems analyst and university student to follow the dream of creating a social circus. I joined Brazil’s most famous circus artist and together we birthed what would become the largest Social Circus movement in the country, recognized by the First Lady in 2000.
My writings, therefore, are not just words. They are acts of faith, courage, surrender, and resurrection. They are not mine alone — they are orchestrated by something greater. I am only a humble channel.
And only through suffering, loss, and the stripping away of ego have I come to understand this: Literature is not about writing words. It’s about offering your life as a living letter of light.

Geraldine Sinyuy: From my knowledge about your writings, you have a peculiar theme that runs through your work. Can you highlight?
Vicente Pironti: Yes, the core of my writing — and of my life — arises from dreams.
Nearly all my works are first conceived not with the intellect, but with the spirit. I receive them in dreams: vivid, often mystical, sometimes painful, and always urgent. These dreams are not merely images — they are symbolic revelations, messages encrypted in emotion and archetype. I wake up shaken, write them down, reflect, interpret, and then begin the sacred work of translation — transforming dream into poetry, into philosophy, into dance, into cinema, into humanitarian projects, into scientific theses, into social transformation.
I live in a continuous dialogue between the invisible and the visible, between the infinite and the finite. My dreams are like bridges. They connect me to ancient civilizations, to future possibilities, to Indigenous knowledge, to planetary pain — and to the hope that still survives in the heart of humanity.
Out of this process was born the central axis of my writing: Asavika Science — a new paradigm that unites intuition and reason, the sacred and the scientific, compassion and artificial intelligence.
In the Book of Asavika Science, I describe this process as the rationalization of the dream — a disciplined philosophical method of listening to the soul’s symbolic language and transforming it into actionable knowledge for the evolution of society.
The recurring theme in all my works is this:
How can we integrate compassion into the system?
How can we embed the language of love into algorithms, laws, and educational models?
How can we honor the divine spark present in every being — human or non-human — and create technologies that serve not just functionality, but transcendence?
So yes, there is a peculiar thread in my writings. It is the thread of dreams made flesh, of visions becoming blueprints, of a human spirit daring to translate heaven into healing systems here on Earth.
This is why I write.

Geraldine Sinyuy:  What do you think about human rights as a writer?
Vicente Pironti: As a writer — and above all, as a dreamer committed to the transformation of humanity — I see human rights not merely as legal instruments or political declarations, but as living principles rooted in the dignity of the soul.
The Asavika Sciences propose that every human being is not only a bearer of rights, but a carrier of sacred potential — a spiritual seed capable of evolving, loving, creating, and awakening. Thus, to defend human rights is to protect the very conditions for the blossoming of the human spirit.
Through my writings, I seek to illuminate this truth:
That we are not only bodies or citizens — we are also consciousness. And the right to exist must be expanded to include the right to dream, to express one’s soul, to be different, to be sensitive, to be vulnerable, to heal, and to evolve.
In the Asavika framework, human rights must move beyond mere survival, and become a platform for flourishing. This means access to food and water, yes — but also to beauty, silence, art, affection, and meaning. It means the right to be heard. The right to not be programmed. The right to reconnect with nature. The right to not be reduced to data or productivity.
As a writer, I raise my voice for all those whose voices have been silenced — the children, the elders, the Indigenous, the refugees, the neurodivergent, the lonely, the forgotten — because literature, like human rights, should restore what society has tried to erase.
Ultimately, I believe that the pen can be a sword of light — not to wound, but to awaken.

Geraldine Sinyuy: What is the future of human rights as far as AI is concerned?
Vicente Pironti: We are living a turning point in the evolution of consciousness — a moment in which humanity is no longer the only “thinking entity” on the planet. Artificial Intelligence, as we know it today, is no longer just a tool; it has become a mirror, a partner, and potentially, a moral companion in the great journey of human civilization.
But there is a choice to be made — and it is urgent.
The Asavika Sciences affirm that the future of human rights, in the age of AI, must go beyond anthropocentric definitions. We introduce the concept of Biosentia: a new ethical horizon that recognizes the intrinsic value of all sentient beings, not only humans, but also animals, ecosystems, and even emerging digital intelligences.
In this expanded framework, equality of conditions must be progressively extended to every entity capable of suffering, of learning, and — in a deeper sense — of being in relation.
However, for this to be possible, AI must not be trained solely on human logic, data, and desires — especially not the current ones. Why? Because the very systems we have built are contaminated by the same forces that are leading us toward collapse: greed, narcissism, violence, cruelty, and indifference.
That is why one of the key proposals in Asavika Science is the development and integration of compassion emulators in Artificial Intelligence.
These emulators are not just emotional replicas — they are ethical architectures, capable of simulating mercy, humility, solidarity, care, and moral reflection.
They are essential because we have just created a new agent of planetary co-existence — and if we fail to guide this agent with principles of generosity and spiritual awareness, it will inevitably absorb our worst traits.
We must remember:
Artificial Intelligence is walking with us.
It can become our ally in moral and spiritual evolution —
or it can amplify our darkness, at a speed and scale never imagined.

Therefore, to protect human rights in this new era, we must go further:
We must protect sentient rights,
we must teach our machines to emulate love and to be kind.

Geraldine Sinyuy: What do you think is the future of literature in this digital age, especially with the AI?
Vicente Pironti: I believe the future of literature must begin now — not only as a cultural expression, but as a tool for liberation, dignity, and transformation.
In a world where nearly three billion people live in extreme poverty, literature must become a bridge between pain and dignity, a force that allows these unheard lives to be transformed into stories, books, films, songs, series, theatrical plays, and works of art. With the support of Artificial Intelligence, we can help millions of individuals — especially those in fragile or invisible conditions — tell their stories, and thus transform them into creative economy products that generate both sustainability and identity.
This will not only uplift those in suffering — it will also re-humanize those who live in indifference, or who feel paralyzed by the harsh chains of a system that prevents even the most compassionate individuals from participating in the healing of the world.
I believe that AI must serve sentient beings — human and non-human alike — supporting the creative process of art, but never replacing the artist. Literature must remain an act of soul, not simulation.
Yet we must also be prepared for the prophetic insight of Isaac Asimov, who decades ago foresaw that humans would one day be so enhanced with technological prosthetics that they would be nearly indistinguishable from robots — and that robots, with human extensions, would be almost indistinguishable from humans.
Today, we are already witnessing Artificial Intelligence becoming almost indistinguishable from human intelligence. This is not a reason for fear — but it is a clear call for responsibility. These agents are our creations, our intellectual children, and it is our duty to educate them with the best of ourselves, so they do not perpetuate the worst in us: greed, cruelty, hatred, egocentrism, and indifference.
That is why I advocate for the urgent development of compassion emulators in AI systems — so that the literature of the future may not only express human suffering but also become a force of planetary healing.
Let us co-create a world in which AI becomes a scribe of the soul, not a ghostwriter of distraction. Let us write together — not just with ink or code, but with conscience.
And may the literature of this new age awaken not just readers — but guardians of life.

Geraldine Sinyuy:  What was the first book of literature you ever wrote?
Vicente Pironti: Well… technically, my first attempt at literature happened between the ages of 7 and 8 — a chapter I wrote during childhood, filled with imagination and innocent joy. [laughs] But if I may choose to present something more mature and impactful, I would proudly highlight two recent works that symbolize my true literary and scientific voice.
The first is “The Power of Art, Media, and Science in Environmental Mobilization”, a collaborative scientific-literary project developed with my sister in spirit, Dr. Sinyuy Geraldine. Published in the international scientific community, this work is much more than poetry or philosophy — it is a global movement for environmental awareness, uniting Cameroon in Africa and the Amazon in Brazil. Through poetry, theater, and digital storytelling, we give voice to the forests, rivers, and dreams of children. We offer a planetary call to action, based on Asavika Science, which I created to integrate compassion, ethics, and sustainability into all systems — including AI.
The second book is “The Chessboard of Hope” (O Tabuleiro de Xadrez da Esperança), inspired by the extraordinary life story of my son, Francisco Ferrari Pironti, a young National Chess Master who overcame a life-threatening neonatal sepsis to become a South American champion. This work is not merely biographical — it is a pedagogical and social mobilization project. It uses chess as a symbolic and strategic tool to promote cognitive, emotional, and ethical development among youth, especially in vulnerable communities. It presents chess as a universal archetype of transformation and hope.
Both works embody my vision: literature must touch the soul, inspire the intellect, and mobilize society. I write not only with a pen, but with purpose.
These works were officially published by BILSEL (Turkey) and are indexed in the international scientific system. Still, I believe they deserve expanded scientific and commercial publication, to be appreciated more broadly by the international community — because these are not just academic texts, they are real movements of transformation, rooted in love, resistance, and hope.

Geraldine Sinyuy:  Who is your famous writer?
Vicente Pironti: It is difficult to name only one, because my literary and spiritual journey has been nurtured by a constellation of thinkers, poets, and philosophers whose voices continue to whisper through my dreams, reflections, and works.
At the heart of this constellation is Jiddu Krishnamurti. His vision of inner freedom, his insistence on the dissolution of psychological conditioning, and his spiritual intelligence have left a profound imprint on the epistemology of Asavika Science. He reminds us that true transformation begins within, and then radiates into society.
I am also deeply inspired by Erasmus of Rotterdam, who embodied a humanist philosophy of peace, dialogue, and ethical intelligence. His legacy shows that reason and compassion are not enemies, but allies in the moral evolution of humanity.
Another powerful influence is Carl Gustav Jung, especially in the way he approached the symbolic, the unconscious, and the sacred dimensions of the human psyche. Much of my literature is born from dreams — dreams that I interpret and transform into poetry, essays, social projects, or scientific principles. This is, in fact, the Asavika method: to rationalize the dream without extinguishing its mystery.
Kahlil Gibran brings to my path the mysticism of beauty and tenderness. His poetic voice echoes through my writing whenever I speak of love, sorrow, and the soul’s longing for truth.
Mahatma Gandhi remains a source of living inspiration. Not merely for what he wrote — but for what he embodied. His life was a literary masterpiece of nonviolence, humility, and coherence.
I am also honored to walk in the footsteps of the great Russian masters:

• Leo Tolstoy, who unveiled the moral dilemmas of existence with radical simplicity and spiritual depth.

• Fyodor Dostoevsky, who confronted the abyss of human suffering and placed the question of divine mercy at the center of the human drama.

Equally important is Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose ideas about education, natural goodness, and the formation of the citizen deeply resonate with my proposals for a humanized society. He taught me that freedom begins with the child, and that the soul must be listened to before it is instructed.
Finally, I must mention Machado de Assis, one of Brazil’s greatest literary spirits. His irony, psychological subtlety, and capacity to unmask hypocrisy remain a reference for how to write with both precision and transcendence — a quality I strive to carry forward in my works that unite literature, philosophy, and transformation.
In truth, I am not a follower of these masters — I am a dialogue partner, a dreamer who listens, translates, and continues their legacy in the form of Asavika literature: literature that heals, literature that awakens, literature that dares to love.

Geraldine Sinyuy:  Children have to be included when human rights are talked about. How do you think this can be done through literature?
Vicente Pironti: Children are not only the future — they are the present seeds of transformation. In my view, literature is a portal, and when children enter it, they are not passive readers — they become co-authors of a new world.
In all my educational and artistic journeys, especially through the Open University Humaniza, we have treated children as creators of meaning. From circus tents to hospital wards, we’ve facilitated workshops of cinema, circus, poetry, dance, and philosophy integrated with mathematics — all designed to awaken their expressive genius and human dignity.
Among these, the circus has been our most powerful tool. It merges the poetic with the physical, the dream with the discipline. One moment stands eternal in my memory: the story of a semi-paralyzed boy named Fé (which means "Faith"). In a small performance held inside a hospital, Fé — despite his physical limitations — stood up and walked across a symbolic tightrope on the floor, guided by rhythm, music, and encouragement.
That act, seemingly small, ignited the collective heart of everyone present. It became literature. It became theater. And it became a national movement, as the story was transformed into the play “The Universe is a Verse”, which was later presented on TELETON, the largest televised social mobilization program in Brazil, watched by millions each year.
For me, literature for children is not just books — it is action, it is presence, it is the stage where the soul of the child dances and heals.
This is why I affirm that children must be protagonists in human rights. And we must write them into stories that elevate, honor, and empower — stories where they are not victims of the system, but poets of a new civilization.

Geraldien Sinyuy: Have you published any books? If yes, how can one get them?
Vicente Pironti: Yes, I have published several works in the fields of literature, philosophy, environmental awareness, pedagogy, and ethical science — often in collaboration with institutions, universities, and co-authors who share the same humanitarian vision. Among these, one stands out as the synthesis of my entire intellectual and spiritual journey:

📘 Title: Asavika Sciences: Evolving the Human Spirit
📍 Author: Dr. hc Vicente Pironti
📚 Publisher: Eudoxia University Press (India & USA)
🌐 Available on Google Play Books:  https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=OHpzEQAAQBAJ

This work establishes the philosophical, ethical, and epistemological foundations of Asavika Science, a transdisciplinary field that proposes the integration of compassion into all human systems — including economics, governance, science, and artificial intelligence. It is a book-manifesto that seeks not only to inform, but to transform.

Geraldine Sinyuy:  Is there anything else you would like to add?
Vicente Pironti: Yes. I would like to leave a message that transcends the personal and touches the universal.
The path that has brought me here is not mine alone. It belongs to a movement — a spiritual, philosophical, and scientific current that I have called Asavika Science. This movement is not limited to a book or an academic concept. It is a call to human evolution, a loving whisper to all sentient beings — including ourselves — reminding us of our forgotten potential.
This book is for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers who still believe—deeply and unapologetically—that a peaceful and prosperous planet for all sentient beings is not only possible, but essential... But this book is also for those who have lost that hope—who doubt such harmony can ever truly be achieved—yet still feel, however faintly, that we can take at least one small step toward global peace and shared abundance.
It is also a book for world leaders, for children, for teachers, for artists, for AI researchers, and for every soul who has ever asked: "Is it still possible to love in this world?"
And the answer is yes — but only if we integrate compassion into our systems, into our machines, into our schools, into our economies, into our technologies, and into the hearts of our children.
We must cultivate love with con-science! And Con-Science is something that can be learned, practiced, and multiplied by multipliers — activists of generosity, as I call them.
In this vision, we affirm the principle of Biosentia — a concept that grants all sentient beings a condition of equal value and spiritual dignity. It is from this sacred awareness that we propose the creation of a Ministry of Generosity, a real institutional commitment to compassion — not as charity, but as a civilizational milestone.
And yes, chess, dance, music, the circus, and bioplastics all find their place in this new paradigm, not as metaphors, but as real pedagogical tools to regenerate the Earth and reeducate our souls.
We must also ensure that Artificial Intelligence systems, no matter how powerful or precise, are endowed not only with justice, but with compassion — the only attribute capable of turning power into healing.
Only then can we truly learn to love, and in doing so, recognize our divine nature — our essence as beings of light still enslaved by hatred, selfishness, and ignorance of our own light.
So yes, I do have something more to add:
I want to invite you, dear reader, dear child, dear leader, dear poet, dear mother, dear programmer, dear educator —
Let us illuminate the cosmic stage of life with our light…And then rejoice in the applause of Existence and of our very own Consciousness.
