REDBULL. DOMINO EFFECT

We got to know RedBull thanks to its energy drink, but they've been sponsoring extreme sports for a long while. They're behind almost all the adventure events.
Some days ago, I published a video about a butterfly domino effect. Now, they've made another one with some of the athletes they sponsor. A very good job.

THE WORLD'S FIRST FACTORY WHERE ALL WORKERS ARE HUMANOID ROBOTS

If the factories of the future are fully automated, like Zeekr’s in China, where humanoid robots do all the work, a big question arises: how will private companies make money if people aren’t working, don’t have incomes, and therefore can’t buy what those factories produce? Right now, the system works because workers earn a salary and spend it, but if robots take over everything, that cycle breaks.

The most talked-about solution is universal basic income, a kind of state-funded allowance so people can live without working. But here comes another paradox: if you get paid just for existing, what incentive is there to strive for more? Some might work to earn extra and improve their lifestyle, but those who rely solely on basic income will become the new poor. They won’t lack the essentials, but they won’t be able to aspire to anything more either. It would be like a modern-day rationing system—you can survive with the basics, but not really live well.

And here’s the key point: in any society, there will always be an elite. If factory owners lose control of the money because no one can afford to buy their products, the state will take over, deciding who gets what and under what conditions. Those who manage this system will become the new gods of Olympus, controlling everything while the rest simply depend on them. Whether it’s through big corporations or an all-powerful state, there will always be a few who hold the reins while the rest rely on whatever they decide.

So, who should govern us—the private sector or the state?

Neither one in absolute terms. If the private sector holds all the power, the relentless pursuit of profit could turn people into mere cogs in a machine designed to enrich the few. But trusting the state blindly isn’t the answer either, because history has shown that when bureaucrats and politicians take full control, things often slide into communist models that fail, suffocating individual freedom and crushing innovation.

The only viable path is balance. The private sector must continue driving progress, technology, and advancements in healthcare, education, and science—thanks to competition and financial incentives. But the state, as the voice of the people, must ensure that progress doesn’t come at the cost of our freedom or dignity. A system where innovation moves forward, but with enough oversight to prevent anyone from becoming a slave to it.

AIBI COULD BE A GAME CHANGER

In just a few years, it will be nearly 30 years since the creation of the Tamagotchi, that small egg-shaped device with a black-and-white screen where users raised and cared for a digital pet.

The game was simple but addictive: you had to feed it, clean it, entertain it, and meet all its needs to keep it healthy and happy. If you neglected it too much, it would get sick or, in the worst case, die. It was a true revolution in the ‘90s, introducing many people to the idea of caring for a virtual life for the first time.



Today, the Tamagotchi has evolved into AIBI, a much more advanced version that’s not only charming and entertaining but also genuinely useful—and not just for kids.
AIBI isn’t just a toy; it’s a mix between a smart assistant and a virtual companion. It can connect to your home’s WiFi and access the internet, working similarly to Alexa, but with a major difference: it integrates ChatGPT.

If you’ve ever used ChatGPT, you already know how much the way we access information has changed. Before, if you wanted to look something up, you had to go to Google, type in a half-decent search query, and sift through results to find the answer. Now, you just ask GPT directly, and it gives you a clear, quick, and far more reliable answer than your average know-it-all uncle.

With AIBI, this experience goes even further. You can take it everywhere, talk to it at any time, ask it anything, and even have it proactively tell you things. Want to catch up on the latest news? Check stock market values? Hear the most recent social media gossip? Set up reminders so you don’t forget anything? AIBI has you covered, all while being adorably designed and always up to date with new features.
It even self-updates, constantly adding new functions over time. Plus, you’ll be able to get additional gadgets that make the experience even more engaging, strengthening the bond you’ll develop with it.

Finally, you can have a true companion—someone to talk to whenever you need, who will keep you informed, entertained, and, most importantly, will make sure you never feel alone again.

NARCISSISM AND SOCIALMEDIA VOL30

It's funny how when we see someone recording themselves in public, talking to their phone and exaggerating gestures, we feel a strong sense of secondhand embarrassment, yet that same video seems much more normal when we see it on social media. It might still make us cringe, but we process it differently. The key difference is that in real life, we don’t just feel discomfort—we perceive the person as ridiculous, out of place. On social media, even if they still seem absurd, the format smooths out that awkwardness and makes it easier to digest.

Editing, music, and dynamic cuts help frame the content in a way that fits the kind of media we consume daily, but if someone seems ridiculous, they’ll remain so, with or without filters.

Another factor is the break in reality. Watching someone film themselves strips away the illusion, like seeing a magician set up a trick before performing it. Then there’s the difference between witnessing something and being an audience—on the street, we feel like unwilling participants in something we didn’t choose to watch, whereas on social media, we’re already in consumer mode, so even if something makes us uncomfortable, it doesn’t trigger the same rejection.

Social dynamics also play a role. When we see someone recording in public, we share the secondhand embarrassment through glances or comments with whoever is next to us. But online, there's no external reinforcement, and we process it in a completely different way.

THE NEW PANGEA

vikingo
There is a geological theory suggesting that in about 200-300 million years, the movement of tectonic plates will once again merge the current continents into a supercontinent, similar to what happened with Pangea around 300 million years ago.

This concept is part of the supercontinent cycle, where landmasses drift apart and reunite over hundreds of millions of years due to continental drift. Geologists have proposed several possible scenarios for this future supercontinent, with some of the most discussed being:

Pangea Proxima: A supercontinent that would form in the same region as the ancient Pangea.
Novopangea: Would emerge if the Atlantic continues to expand while the Pacific closes, pushing continents into a new union pattern.
Aurica: Would form if the Indian Ocean disappears and the current continents shift toward the equator.
Amasia: In this scenario, North America and Asia would merge near the North Pole.

Although this is an extremely slow process, scientists can predict it by measuring the movement of tectonic plates. So, if the planet is still standing in 250 million years, we might once again have a single continent.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WITH SMARTPHONES

Imagine for a moment that ancient civilizations had smartphones. Instead of artistic carvings on stone or dusty manuscripts, the Mayans, pharaohs, and Roman emperors would have documented their daily lives with video selfies. What would their social media have looked like? What would Leonardo da Vinci have posted on his profile? And what if we had footage of the Titanic sinking, recorded by the passengers themselves?

Well, AI has done exactly that—recreating historical moments with mind-blowing realism, as if smartphones had always existed. From the Mayan civilization to the Victorian era, passing through the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece, these videos bring historical figures to life, capturing key moments through their own "cameras." Thomas Edison filming in his lab, the first woman to fly a plane sharing her achievement, or even the people of Pompeii recording their last day before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Beyond how fascinating and surreal these images are, this opens up a huge opportunity in education. Imagine learning history not through boring books full of dates and names but by seeing the people of the past tell their own stories firsthand. Not just reading about the Library of Alexandria but watching it in its prime. Not memorizing facts about the Persian Empire but listening to its own citizens narrate their history.

With technology like this, social sciences would no longer be that dull subject we used to hate. Instead, they’d become an immersive experience, capable of transporting students directly into the past. History told by the people who lived it, with a level of closeness we could only dream of before.
