Humanity tumbles towards nothingness. Due to the continued so-called 'material, social, & environmental progress' and individualization of humankind, the human individual becomes increasingly irrelevant & replaceable. Unless we start understanding the essence of human ontology.

Albania appoints AI bot as minister to tackle corruption
A new minister in Albania charged to handle public procurement will be impervious to bribes, threats, or attempts to curry favour. That is because Diella, as she is called, is an AI-generated bot.

Instagram and Facebook have reportedly blocked posts from some abortion pill providers.

Reproductive rights are human rights — and they include the right to access legal and safe abortions.
Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers’ Posts
Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

After democratic elections:

Hitler 1933:
'Heim ins Reich' (annexion of Austria) & 'Lebensraum' (lit. living space, i.e. expansion to the East) became German foreign policy.

Trump 2025: 'Integration' of Canada & expansion to the East (Greenland) become part of US foreign policy.

Hmmm...

Belief in language is the last superstition, and thus, analytical rhetoric is the last form of enlightenment.

Once we agree on a tendency (good or evil), we must shape our educational & child support systems accordingly.
If we did, a lot of problems we face today in the world would disappear.

This is what real democratic lawmaking can look like.

How do you make a law?
Every state has its own laws, which are made by the body known as the legislature (parliament ).

Is a ban the best way to protect children?

Isn't the partly nefarious and degenerated use of the noble idea 'internet' the core problem?

We are often limited in our perceptions & ways we think. This is partly due to the biases that guided the education we received.

Remaining open-minded is key, even if our convictions may be challenged.
