The Science Behind Relationships; Humans Media explores the basis of our attraction, contempt, why we do what we do and to whom we do it.
You Ate What?
What did you say? You ate what? We have been consumed with modern technology. Every week it seems there is some new innovation to consider. Never has it been more imperative to take a step back and revisit what we are dealing with, because everything has a consequence, good or bad.

The Immune System’s "Civil War": When the body forgets its own identity and begins to dismantle the nervous system.
The smell of scorched copper and old, damp wool hit me first, rising from the patient's bedside like a foul incense. It was 3:14 AM. The woman in the cot didn't move her legs. She couldn't. She looked at them with a visceral detachment, as if they were two heavy logs left behind by a stranger. Her own T-cells, the very soldiers meant to protect her from the rot of the world, were currently stripping the insulation from her nerves. It was a microscopic demolition. It was a silent, internal arson. I watched her hand tremble as she reached for a glass of water—a jagged, stuttering motion that spoke of a command signal lost in a fraying wire.

Falling Between Every System
Modern social systems are often described as safety nets. Employment law protects workers. Healthcare programs provide treatment. Disability benefits replace lost income. Unemployment insurance bridges job loss. Each system is presented as a safeguard designed to catch people when life disrupts their ability to function normally. Yet for many people living with disability, chronic illness, or injury, the lived experience is the opposite. Rather than forming a net, these systems stack vertically, each with its own eligibility rules, thresholds, and assumptions. Instead of catching the fall, they create gaps. People do not slip through because they failed to try. They fall because the systems were never designed to align.

Darkness Descends
Flying over the rift valley formed between the left and right, a kettle of rapacious vultures are patiently circling. Although the scent of death has only just begun to seep through the air, these necrophages salaciously wait in anticipation. Ogling a well intentioned yet largely uniformed society tear itself apart, they covetously await the feast with complete disregard for the collective.

The Algorithm That Remembered Us. AI-Generated.
The first time the platform forgot her, it was subtle. Mira noticed it on a Tuesday morning in her apartment in Frankfurt — the gray light pressing gently against the window, the river moving with indifferent precision below. Her post from the night before, a careful meditation on loneliness in hyperconnected cities, had earned 12 views.

Human-Centered Innovation: Integrating Modern Technology Without Losing the Human Touch
In today’s fast-moving world, integrating modern technology is no longer a choice. It shapes how we work, learn, shop, and connect. Yet many people worry that screens and systems may replace real human care. The truth is that technology does not have to remove empathy. When used with care, it can support stronger relationships and better service. The key is balance. We must adopt tools that help us grow while keeping people at the center of every decision.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: Concentrated Wealth and the Architecture of Particle Physics
Oligarchy is usually discussed in the language of boardrooms and balance sheets. Particle physics, by contrast, lives in equations, accelerators, and theories about the smallest building blocks of matter. They seem unrelated. Yet the Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series explores how concentrated economic structures can intersect with the world of high-energy physics in ways that are rarely examined in public debate.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: Economic Concentration and the Frontiers of Particle Physics
When people hear the word oligarchy, they tend to think of boardrooms, billion-dollar assets, and tightly connected business circles. When they hear particle physics, they picture vast underground tunnels, complex detectors, and equations few can fully grasp. At first sight, these worlds do not overlap. Yet the Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series explores how concentrated economic structures and fundamental science can intersect in subtle but meaningful ways.
