Lucid Dreaming: Is It the Third State of the Brain?
Have you ever had the uncanny experience of suddenly realizing “I’m dreaming” while dreaming? When this awareness dawns, you can break free from the physical constraints of reality—leap into the sky and soar freely; if trapped in a nightmare, you can even persuade yourself to wake from the fear.

I Played It Safe for 10 Years and Realized I Was Losing Money Every Single Day
I recall the distinct feeling of pride I experienced in 2014 when I checked my savings account. I had managed to squirrel away $50,000, and I kept it all in a “high-yield” savings account and short-term certificates of deposit.

Changing the Rules Mid-Game: Why NYC’s New Housing Strategy Might Backfire
Imagine you are playing a long, intense board game with your friends — something like Monopoly or Settlers of Catan. Everyone has spent hours playing by the rules. You’ve invested your “money,” you’ve made trades, and you’ve built your “houses” based on the rulebook you all agreed on at the start.

I spent the last week of 2025 sitting in my apartment in the Sunset district, watching the fog roll in and the temperature drop, while my refrigerator became a graveyard for a $200 grocery run. While the rest of the country was celebrating, San Francisco was plunged into a 72-hour darkness that felt less like a modern metropolis and more like a decaying relic.

Latest Global Research: AI Is Also "Coming Down with 'Mental Illness'"
After reading a paper on AI psychological assessment from the University of Luxembourg, my first reaction was that it sounded absurd—but on closer look, the logic actually holds up. It reveals a more tangible issue than "AI gaining consciousness": to pass the Turing test, AI systems are perfectly emulating human "internal mental turmoil."

My Roomba Used to Be Magic. Now It’s a Cautionary Tale.
I still remember the first time I saw a Roomba. It was 2004. It felt like I was looking at an artifact from the future. While the rest of us were pushing loud, heavy upright vacuums back and forth, this little plastic disc was humming across the floor, making decisions, turning corners, and doing the work for us.

Stop Celebrating Your Series A: The Ponzi Scheme of Modern SaaS

7 Body-Smart Tricks to Soothe Your Emotional Edges
We often treat “emotional management” as another subject to master—reading guides, taking quizzes, digging for root causes, trying to force fluid feelings into neat frameworks. But emotions are not problems to be solved. They are more like the body’s own weather report, present in every breath and every posture.
