Character Building
Another day when I chose to be alone. The weather is too gray for socializing. My head can no longer take people in, but I cannot stay away from people either. I ended up in the café on the corner near home. Spring is about to end, but summer is not coming either. It showed…

End of Life
Scientists divide possible end-of-the-world scenarios into two categories: natural causes and human-made causes. Who even researches this stuff, by the way? I wish we were that kind of scientist. Devoting our lives to speculation. Neither wars would bother us, nor the economy. I wonder if it makes you paranoid? Throughout human history, apocalypse scenarios usually…

The Human Element in Work and Borders
One of the main reasons I chose engineering was that I didn’t want to deal with people. The other reasons were creativity, problem-solving, and so on. After I entered working life, I realized that the real problem was people. Even the most technical project had people as its biggest problem. Today, technology has developed even…

Disruptive Technologies-8: Final
I am finally finishing the series on disruptive technologies. Although the word “disruptive” may sound negative, I mentioned that its meaning is actually “things that fundamentally change our lives.” In most of the previous examples, I talked about how these technologies carry many ethical issues alongside their benefits. Now, I will write about technologies that…

Disruptive Technologies-7: Technology, Biodiversity and Future of Earth
With the Age of Discovery, the world changed completely. New trade routes were opened. The tools required to use those routes developed rapidly. Of course, for this reason, many wars also broke out. A serious arms race began. That arms race eventually reached an entirely different point with the atomic bomb. It became not only…

The Noises and Aesthetics of Expression
Human beings want to express themselves. They can’t keep it inside; the more they do, the harder it gets, turning into a kind of noise within. The purpose of expression is not always to convey something to others; sometimes it is simply to get rid of that noise, to make space for new kinds of…

Veganism,Apoliticalitism and Thousand other Problems
Morning alarm rings. Snooze. Again. Again. You’re right. Life is already hard. You don’t have to solve humanity’s crisis before even getting out of bed. You open your phone. A bit of news, a bit of discounts, a bit of gossip. Your brain gets tiny rewards. Filling your mind with just enough junk and getting…

Disruptive Technologies-6: Artificial Womb
Türkce icin: https://bahadirhancicek.com/2024/10/28/yikici-teknolojiler-6-yapay-rahim/ Although I briefly mentioned it before, I wanted to elaborate a bit more on the topic. Because I find it quite fascinating and I believe it is a technology that could fundamentally change life. (Yes, science and belief together.) In fact, the concept of this technology dates back to the 1930s. It…

Escape
He ran into the forest. He was out of breath. He didn’t know how long he had been running, but at least now he could hide. He kept running for a while without looking back, until he felt safe. When he stopped and looked around, he flinched. He had no idea where he was. The…

Against the Sentence
I had to make a decision against what was being written. No matter what he wrote, this time it would be different. After all, I would be the one who felt it. Again. “Look” the writer said. “Don’t drag it out. Move forward and do your job” “What do you mean by moving forward?” I…
