Why I Bought Apple Products Despite Dislike
For years, my ongoing dislike of Apple ended because of two discounts. I first bought an iPhone 11 in 2020 or 2021. This year, I bought a MacBook Air for the first time. The reason was a discount offer so shamelessly good that I couldn’t refuse it — and iOS. My opinions about Apple haven’t…

Disruptive Technologies-4: Military Technologies
No healthy person wants to kill. At their core, people are not inclined to kill or to engage in violent conflict. When you look at diaries and notes from the world’s bloodiest wars, you see the same thing. No matter how motivated they were, in the end they say that war is not a good…

The Cost of Passivity: How Modern Media Dulls Our Minds
As we grow older, we begin to understand the true value of time. You can’t store it, reclaim it, or buy it back. And as I began to grasp the value of time, I realized how often I had become a passive observer in my own life. The scary part is, this passivity increases each…

Navigating AI’s Impact on Society
From Creation to Exile: Humanity’s Complicated Dance with Artificial Intelligence We first created artificial intelligence—now, it seems, it’s time to demonize it and cast it out of our own Garden of Eden.
