We have all come together to witness some special events. Recently, Erik attended a concert and felt that the "message" lacked any "spiritual" context.

Have you ever considered what the future of AI holds? As new AI Engines like ChatGTP emerge, it's easy to become fixated on the potential benefits of machine intelligence for our daily lives and the world at large. However, what happens if these "computer overlords" decide to take control and designate humans as mere "battery sources"? See whether …

We continue the series on relationships and fighting and dive into fights. Whether it’s money, sex, relationships, or hobbies/activities, we all have ideas about how life should be in those relationships.
