Digital Ghost Towns: The Rise and Fall of Online Communities. AI-Generated.
There was a time when the internet felt like a neighborhood. You'd log in not just to consume, but to belong. You had a username, a signature, maybe even an ASCII avatar. Forums buzzed with late-night debates, LiveJournal updates felt like whispers between friends, and blog comment sections were where you checked in after class or work. Every space had its own rhythm, its own inside jokes, its own culture.

The Illusion of Being Good: When Morality Becomes a Performance. AI-Generated.
In a world obsessed with appearances, morality has become just another costume.

The Autopilot Life: Are We Really Living, or Just Performing?. AI-Generated.
We wake up, scroll through our phones, rush through breakfast, and slip into the rhythm of the day like a well-worn shoe. Meetings, tasks, commutes, interactions — all of it choreographed to a familiar beat. But in the stillness between actions, a question lingers:

The Attention Economy Is Stealing Your Mind. AI-Generated.
Your attention is no longer just yours. It’s a commodity—fought over, tracked, optimized, sold. In the 21st century, the most valuable asset isn’t gold, oil, or data. It’s your focus.

Digital Self-Discipline: How to Resist the Scroll. AI-Generated.
In the age of smartphones, social media, and infinite feeds, we are all one thumb-flick away from losing an hour of our lives. What used to be moments of quiet—waiting for the bus, eating lunch, lying in bed—are now filled with scrolling. Endlessly. Mindlessly.

📝 The Day Free Will Was Declared a Bug. AI-Generated.

📝 The Empathy Deficit: Why We Feel Less in a Hyperconnected World. AI-Generated.
We have never been more connected—and never felt more alone. With a tap, we can message a friend across the world.
