We seem to be on the cusp of a world in which workers of all kinds—teachers, doctors, writers, lawyers, coders, clerks, and more—will be replaced with, or to some degree sidelined by, their A.I. equivalents. What will get left out when A.I. steps in?
In the Age of A.I., What Makes People Unique?
More than ever, we’re challenged to define what’s valuable about being human.

1,100 people killed on 9/11 in New York City have not had any of their remains identified by authorities. The medical examiner's office is using new technology to identify more people.

Hopefully, Belgium as a free and democratic country reconsider its move before it's too late. Middle East doesn't have a good record on free speech and democracy.
Belgium will recognize a Palestinian state at this month’s UN General Assembly, the country’s foreign minister announced on Tuesday. The recognition, which was conditioned on the release of hostages by Hamas, follows similar moves by other countries as they try to push Israel to end the war in Gaza.

Not retaliate is recommended, since fixing ourselves and maintaining everything that we have are more important than seeking outside validation with harsh reaction to any negative approach on us.

A recession seems unavoidable. The only question is whether sanity prevails before a depression is baked in.

If the whole world is in debt maybe erase all debt?

Money is a concept.
Wealth is comparative
If everyone is debt then no one is in debt.
Why do we use debt as a crippling restriction instead of recognizing we are supporting each other and thriving together ?

Nothing to worry about this. Any publicly traded asset will have to deal with such decline once a while during their journey in the stock market. Everything will be fine later, because the decline makes stock market more affordable for retail traders like me.
The stock market has plunged since President Trump took office for a second time, a stark contrast to the early days of his first presidency.

When President Trump entered his first term, stocks were steadily marching upward. This time, the trajectory has inverted.

It's an illusion to hope that nobody is watching over you because you're an ordinary person. There's nothing we can do about it. However, you can train yourselves to be ready for everything and deal with it. It can be either sports, meditation, prayers (if you're non-atheist), and laugh often 😁

Question is, will they eager to do so? Doesn't it sound like losing their sovereignty or something?
OPINION: Strategic interdependence is more than a policy framework, it’s a mindset — one that Europe’s leaders must embrace if they are to navigate the world as it is, not as they wish it to be.
