Why does the phone feel so empty?-How Social Media Makes Us Quietly Depressed:
There was a time when the mornings began with sunlight from the sounds of birds passing through the curtains and outside the window. Next, we start with the cold glow of the screen. Open Instagram. A friend goes on a holiday in Santorini. The other guy is just engaged.

ADDICTION ISNT THE ENEMY
For a century now, the world has been waging a war against addiction — a battle filled with punishment, stigma, and fear. But what if everything we thought we knew about addiction is wrong?

It’s Easy to Quit — But Staying Committed? That’s What Makes You Cool
At some point in life, we all find ourselves at a crossroads—one path offering the quick relief of letting go, the other asking us to grit our teeth and stay the course. In a viral talk titled “Quitting Is Easy, But Sticking With It Is Cool,” Chinese content creator Orange Writing unpacks this very dilemma. In an age where short videos have shortened our attention spans and “quiet quitting” has become a social media mantra, staying committed has become a radical act. But maybe it’s time to reframe what commitment really means—not as a form of self-punishment, but as a courageous, creative choice to invest in ourselves.

The limits of human vision and the perception of the invisible
The perception we have of the world is mediated by our senses, and in particular by vision, one of the most powerful but also limited senses. Although we see with surprising clarity the world around us, our visual perception is just a tiny fraction of a much larger universe. The human eye is designed to perceive only a limited range of electromagnetic frequencies, what we call visible light, but the reality surrounding us is much more complex and escapes our everyday senses. What we cannot see, however, does not mean it doesn't exist. And the way our senses, particularly vision, interact with reality is much more complex than we think. One of the most intriguing experiments exploring the limits of visual perception is that of total darkness, which helps us understand not only how limited our senses are, but also how our perception of reality can be an illusion.

You’re Not “Behind” in Life—You’re on Your Own Damn Timeline
At 25, I thought I was behind. Behind in my career. Behind in relationships. I was unable to figure out what I was supposed to do with my life. I’d scroll through social media and see classmates getting married, buying houses, traveling the world, or building businesses—and I’d wonder what went wrong for me.
