The witch on a broomstick is a centuries-old symbol rooted in European folklore, mythology, and witchcraft legends. It has been associated with the persecution of supposed witches during the medieval and early modern periods, as well as popular culture depictions of magic and the supernatural. The Nazi regime had its own set of symbols, such as the swastika, the eagle, and the SS runes, which were explicitly tied to its ideology. While the Nazis sometimes appropriated folklore and occult themes, the witch on a broom was not a recognized symbol of the Third Reich.  Who is Krampus, the European Christmas demon?  Krampus is a figure from Central European folklore, particularly in Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, and the Alpine regi...

The Future of Public Transport - No Fixed Schedules, No Fixed Routes

Public transport, with its rigid schedules and fixed routes, no longer serves the dynamic needs of modern urban life. In a world where technology adapts in real time, why should public transit remain stuck in the past? Livingston and Carrington, UK : These towns have successfully introduced on-demand services, allowing residents to book rides as needed, enhancing transit access without traditional bus schedules. A New Model: On-Demand, Dynamic, and Smart Imagine a public transport system where vehicles move based on real-time demand rather than pre-determined schedules. Instead of waiting for a bus that arrives every 30 minutes (whether people need it or not), a fleet of smart, connected vehicles could respond to actual passenger needs. Auckland, New Zealand : The AT Local service utilizes a fully electric vehicle fleet to provide convenient, sustainable, and affordable on-dema...

Filtering Facts - Controlled Environments, Organic Practices, and the Microplastic Dilemma

ᴡⁿ ᡗᢦᡐᡉ˒ α΅’αΆ  αΆœΛ‘αΆ¦α΅α΅ƒα΅—α΅‰ α΅‰α΅α΅‰Κ³α΅α΅‰βΏαΆœΚΈ https://climateclock.world/ When we think about the food we eat, we often consider factors like freshness, nutritional value, and whether it's grown with or without synthetic chemicals. But what about the invisible particles that might be lurking in our meals? Let's delve into the relationship between controlled environments, organic practices, and the ever-present issue of microplastics. Food grown with filtered water is typically produced in controlled environments, not on regular fields. It's a common misconception that all food is created equal. Food grown with filtered water, ensuring a higher level of purity, is typically produced in controlled environments, such as hydroponic farms or vertical gardens, rather than on traditional fields. These controlled environments allow for precise management of water and nutrients, minimizing the risk of contamination from external sources. On the other hand, organic food practices offer a differe...

The Connection Between Sinkholes and Disappearance of People - A Personal Perspective

The connection between natural phenomena like sinkholes and the unsettling reality of missing persons might seem distant at first glance. However, as I reflect on both themes, I find that there are underlying similarities that can shed light on the deeper issues in our society. What is the Connection Between Sinkholes and Missing People? At first glance, sinkholes appear to be mere natural accidents — random occurrences in the earth’s surface, typically resulting from water erosion. But when we start examining the disappearance of people, especially migrants or those pushed to the margins of society, we begin to see a deeper metaphorical connection. Sinkholes represent sudden, often unseen forces that can swallow everything in their path. Similarly, when people go missing, whether due to war, political unrest, or social n...

Cloud Workers and Digital Nomads — New Subcultures in the Settled Old Continent

For centuries, the continent has been a bastion of settled lives, anchored in local communities, historical identities, and national boundaries. But now, a new breed of worker is on the rise, one that transcends borders, defies traditional notions of work, and challenges the settled, rooted identities that once defined European culture. In this article, we will explore the rise of these two subcultures— cloud workers and digital nomads —and examine their impact on the landscape of the Old Continent. The New Mobility: A Life Without Boundaries Historically, Europe has been a continent built on roots —people tended to live, work, and die in the same communities. The concept of home was inextricably linked to geographical and cultural identity. But today, many youn...

Scroll-driven URL updates are commonly used by social media platforms, news websites, e-commerce stores, and portfolio sites . Major platforms like X, Instagram, and Pinterest use this technique to improve user experience and engagement. Even large media sites such as The New York Times and The Guardian implement it to track article reading progress. What Is Scroll-Driven URL Updating? This is a web development technique where the URL in the address bar changes without the user clicking anything —just by scrolling. It works by detecting the scroll position and updating the browser history dynamically. It is commonly implemented using the History API (pushState & replaceState) along with JavaScript scroll events or the Intersection Observer API . When Did This Technique Become Popular? This feature gained traction with the rise of single-page applications (SPAs) around the early 2...

Exploring Quantum Concepts and Thought Experiments

ᴡⁿ ᡗᢦᡐᡉ˒ α΅’αΆ  αΆœΛ‘αΆ¦α΅α΅ƒα΅—α΅‰ α΅‰α΅α΅‰Κ³α΅α΅‰βΏαΆœΚΈ https://climateclock.world/ The realm of physics is filled with intriguing concepts that challenge our understanding of reality, particularly in the fields of chemistry and quantum physics. While chemistry focuses on the composition and behavior of matter, quantum physics investigates the fundamental particles and forces that underpin the universe. This distinction highlights a significant relationship between the two fields: quantum physics serves as the theoretical foundation for many chemical phenomena. The Role of Thought Experiments Central to discussions in both chemistry and quantum physics is the concept of the thought experiment . Thought experiments are theoretical scenarios designed to explore complex ideas and challenge existing scientific theories. Unlike traditional experiments, they do not require physical testing but instead rely on logical reasoning and conceptual exploration. The precautionary principle is a guiding philosophy in sci...

Produced through advanced biotechnology, this lab-grown collagen is made using genetically engineered bacteria or yeast, eliminating the need for animal sources. While it offers an ethical and sustainable option for skincare and health supplements, consumers in Zagreb, Croatia, will be disappointed to learn that synthetic collagen is not yet available for purchase in the city. During our discussion on synthetic and natural molecules, we explored the availability of various products, including collagen alternatives for vegetarians and vegans. While natural collagen is widely available in the form of animal-derived supplements, and plant-based boosters can support the body's natural collagen production, fully synthetic collagen remains a niche product, primarily used in research and high-end biotech application...

That slogan, "Stop Drilling - Recycle," could be a powerful and catchy rallying cry against both Big Oil and Big Pharma by pushing for a circular economy instead of extractive industries. Here’s how it could work in practice: Big Oil Reduce new drilling by promoting recycling of plastics and alternative materials Invest in bio-based plastics and reuse infrastructure to cut demand for petroleum products Push for stricter regulations on fossil fuel extraction Big Pharma Recycle medical plastics (e.g., syringes, pill bottles) instead of relying on fossil-fuel-based virgin plastic Repurpose expired drugs where possible, reducing waste and dependency on constant new production Shift focus from profit-driven medicine to sustainable, accessible healthcare πŸ’‘ Less drilling, less waste, more future.

But the more I think about it, the more I see its bad karma. It's not the idea itself; it's how it twists in human hands. I started tossing this around with Grok, an AI from xAI, and what unraveled was a wild ride through extremes, art, propaganda, and a hope for something greener. Here's where it took me. The Bad Karma of Utopia Why does utopia feel cursed? Maybe because it's built on a shaky bet: that you can force messy humans into a perfect mold. History's full of flops-Soviet collectives, Mao's Great Leap-that promised paradise but delivered prison camps. The dream sours when crazy, envious types hijack it, shoving it from one extreme to another. They don't just want the prize; they want to control it, and if they can't, they'd rather burn it down. That's the destructive branch-when a split could've been soft, the...

Article originally published on 27 April 2022 It can be heard by psychocrats that there is little difference between saying something and doing the same thing, but I deeply disagree. Although I am not a shrink I believe there are three basic cognitive states: thinking, speaking, and doing; such as the three basic aggregate states of matter: gaseous, liquid, and solid. These three basic cognitive states are separate but intertwined, I honestly think it is better to think about everything, rave, be ready, and not react wrongly to some action at a certain moment. I see myself as an extrovert, but I wouldn’t expose myself too much in the current hostile environment regarding civil rights violations in the pandemic and fossil fuels crisis. ᴡⁿ ᡗᢦᡐᡉ˒ α΅’αΆ  αΆœΛ‘αΆ¦α΅α΅ƒα΅—α΅‰ α΅‰α΅α΅‰Κ³α΅α΅‰βΏαΆœΚΈ https://climateclock.world/ Thinking, Speaking, Doing: A Thin Line Between Thought and Action The relationship between thinking, speaking, and doing is a subject of interest across multiple disciplines, from cognitive scienc...

It's been like that for decades. Will we be like Switzerland, in this undefined region? — neutral and financially superior? Perhaps a strong financial sector is a prerequisite for major projects, but it should not be the main focus of the Republic.   We definitely need to focus more on green & digital takeover during daytime - and not to watch gaming and gambling funny circus πŸŽͺ

Amazing Four Emerging Economies and Geopolitical Influencers

These emerging economic and geopolitical influencers— Latin America, the African Union, India, and China —are transforming global trade, technology, and diplomacy. Here’s why they matter 1. Latin America: A Region on the Rise Latin America is evolving beyond its traditional role as a resource exporter. Countries like Mexico and Brazil are boosting manufacturing and tech industries, while the Lithium Triangle (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile) is critical for the EV revolution. Trade ties with China, the U.S., and the EU are strengthening, and regional blocs like MERCOSUR and the Pacific Alliance are driving economic integration. Despite political instability and inequality, the region's urbanization, digital transformation, and renewable energy push make it a rising force. 2.

It's different for vegetarian people like me, like vegetarian for ten years, since I'm careful about what I'm eating. To cook half an hour — cuz imagine how difficult to cook in summer, with all those heat waves coming up. Boiled food is usually healthier than grilled - soups, stews, like they dine in total institutions. It's better for the air conditioner, too.

Placing vertiports on top of buildings is one of the most practical and forward-thinking solutions. Here’s why it works and how it can be implemented effectively: Why Building-Topped Vertiports Make Sense Efficient Use of Space : In crowded urban areas, rooftops are underutilized real estate. A vertiport adds functionality without taking up valuable ground-level space. Proximity to Users : High-rise buildings in city centers are often near businesses, residences, and transit hubs, reducing travel time for passengers. Integration with Urban Mobility : Vertiports can connect directly to elevators, parking garages, or subway stations, creating seamless travel experiences. Real-World Examples Vol...
