We Inherit The Sins of Our Fathers and Mothers. Top Story - May 2025.
Jake was preparing to deliver his sales pitch to the UN. It was not what he thought he would ever do, but he did not have a choice. He had been driven to think the unthinkable, imagine the unimaginable, and deal with the unscrupulous, untenable movement of society, that had been based on false economy for over 100 years. He focused on his 3-minute presentation for Global Improvement Future Technologies, GIFT. They were being endorsed by the Forums on Sustainable Development, Climate Change and Human health.

Smart Homes, Safer Lives: The Future of Wellness and Security
There was a time when “smart home” meant you could turn your lights on with your phone or ask a speaker to play your favorite song. That era feels quaint now. In 2025, smart homes are no longer just about convenience or showing off gadgets to guests. They’ve evolved into something far more personal and essential — guardians of our health, our safety, and our peace of mind.

Which is the monster
Can a natural-language, text-generative computer program (aka 'AI') be used to write an interesting, entertaining, engaging fictional story with a 'human' feel to it? If it can, I have yet to read one. The AI-generated stories I have read, even the better ones, have a wooden, rigid, clumsy obvious feel to them that takes away any of the joy of reading. But this technology is improving rapidly so who knows where it may lead us?

An important mechanism underlying human cognition is revealed by fascinating neuroscience research.
How does the brain adapt to different standards of mental challenge? New studies using neuroimaging show that brain activity in the case of more complex cognitive tasks is not only detailed but also more streamlined. The results suggest that the brain adjusts activity patterns to meet task requirements and allows for more efficient processing with mentally challenging activities. The study was published in the minutes of the National Academy of Sciences was established with the desire to understand how the brain manages various cognitive requirements.

What Happens to Our Memories When We Die?
Every person who has ever lived carries a lifetime of memories, childhood laughter, heartbreak, love, mistakes, and triumphs. These memories define us. They shape how we see the world, how we act, and how we understand others. But what happens to them when we die? Do they vanish like smoke in the wind? Are they stored somewhere beyond our physical form? Or are they absorbed into something greater than ourselves?

Lethal 1.0 [P-1]
Ausaf Mahathir. Even though people call me a scientist with the prefix A, I do not have the qualifications to be called a scientist. If I had committed suicide, no one would have known how terrible my birth would have been for the people of this world. Maybe every person should know that before creating a poison, it is always necessary to think about its antidote. I want everyone to learn from my fate. I have spent most of my thirty-two years of life planning to build robots. I did not even have time to take care of my wife and children. About a year and a half after my marriage, both my parents were killed. I still do not know how to solve the mystery of who killed them or why.

Echoes of the Digital Realm
In a world not too far from our own, humanity had learned to transcend the boundaries of the physical universe. The digital realm, once a mere tool for communication and entertainment, had evolved into a vast, sprawling universe—one where people could live, work, and explore beyond the confines of their bodies. This new world, known as the Echo Net, was created from the collective imagination of billions, a network of shared experiences, dreams, and memories.

The Demiurge: The Hidden Entity That Controls Our World
The Demiurge: The Hidden Entity That Controls Our World For centuries, philosophers, mystics, and conspiracy theorists have speculated about who—or what—truly rules our world. While mainstream narratives attribute power to governments, corporations, and elite organizations, a deeper and more esoteric theory suggests that an ancient, supernatural force governs human existence. This force is known as the Demiurge—a deceptive and controlling entity that has imprisoned humanity within a false reality.
