Having your opinion doesn't make you smart, stupid, or a rebel

But having it, backed up by facts, keeps you sober in a world that often prefers emotions over truth.  Your opinion is not just “I think so; you are stupid.” The general opinion is convenient. When most people believe something, it is easy to join in. After all—“so many people can’t be wrong,” right? But it is not always true. Manipulation works when it seems like “general agreement.” Your opinion should be based on facts, not emotions or the crowd. But history is full of examples when “everyone” was wrong. These are just a few of my simple observations.  Many people express their opinion about the Green Deal. Many people support it, and many are against it. It's a matter of personal preference. However, the most intriguing aspect is that those who installed air conditioning now dislike this deal. The unpleasant smell from the stove is gone, but the price of electricity has increased. However, when they go out on the balcony and smell coal from the neighbors' chimneys, they us...

Stop Counting Stars: A Modern Take on The Little Prince & Big Data

 If you’ve read Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince , you probably remember the businessman on the fourth planet. He was so busy counting stars that he didn’t even look up when the Prince arrived. "Five hundred and one million, six hundred and twenty-two thousand, seven hundred and thirty-one," he muttered, obsessed with "possessing" things he couldn’t even touch. If we drop this Businessman into 2025, he wouldn’t be using a paper ledger. He’d be sitting in a dark room with three monitors, obsessing over Bitcoin charts, Instagram reach, and Big Data. This is why his story serves as a crucial warning for our digital age. 1. Data is the New "Golden Stuff." The Businessman called stars "little golden things that make lazy people dream." Today, we have our own version: Likes, Followers, and Impressions. We hoard digital data like it’s gold. We feel "rich" when our follower count goes up, but just like the Businessman, we often do...

People's problems?- They are unlikely to ever disappear

They are unlikely to ever disappear. There are millions of problems in one individual. The biggest flaw of a person is to constantly look for reasons for his problems in someone or something; this is already the biggest problem for the individual. This behavior creates a chain reaction, similar to falling dominoes. Especially if you use up your energy in this direction. Over time, your energy returns to you like a boomerang. It goes back to him. No matter how educated he is, eventually a problem comes to him, and he, struggling to protect himself, becomes a participant in it. Regardless of whether he is calm or indifferent, he must take a side depending on the circumstances. Everyone knows that there is already one god, but it is perceived differently in different languages. Because of the ways of the prophets, division is a fact. The one problem that is not known may take another thousand years to solve. The other big problem is the different colors of people's skin. While the col...

Two Sides of the Same Coin: On Titles and True Character

There are doctors, and then there are doctors. One simply brings your fever down and tells you that you are cured. The other finds the root cause, seeks to eliminate the source, and ensures you truly overcome the illness. There are teachers, and then there are teachers. Some come to school just to "recite" the lesson and collect their paycheck—which is why so many remain uneducated. In these cases, both sides share the blame. Then there are teachers who strive by all means to instill knowledge in children's minds. Their methods vary—sometimes strict, sometimes manipulative—but at least they achieve results. There are parents, and then there are parents. Some hover over their children in constant fear, while others rely entirely on the environment to raise them. There are politicians, and then there are politicians. Those who venture into the halls of power for the first time often feel empowered to transform the system and ensure a smooth transition. But there is a virus ...

You Must also Respect the Freedom of Other People

We've all heard the phrase "freedom," right? It's practically woven into the fabric of our society. We celebrate it, we fight for it, and we generally agree that it's a very beneficial thing. But what happens when my freedom clashes with your freedom? At this point, the quote "You must respect and give others freedom" from the book "Manners in the Great Kingdom" becomes relevant. Think of the book as a guide to navigating a society with many people trying to live their best lives. It’s not just about which fork to use at dinner; it’s about the basic principles that allow a diverse society to function harmoniously. And right there, at the heart of that, is the idea of ​​respecting the freedom of others. It’s not just about having your freedom but also about recognizing and upholding the right of everyone else to have theirs too. So what does it really mean to respect the freedom of others? First, it means understanding that freedom is not absolu...

This is not a secret. These are the fundamental facts

Imagine the following truly absurd, yet illustrative situation: Every morning, as the first gentle rays of the sun pierce the darkness and begin to paint the day, a mysterious bank transfers the solid sum of $86,400 to your account. This transaction is not a mistake; it is not a joke but a real, impressive loan, intended exclusively and only for you. The loan is in American currency, a globally recognized symbol of opportunity and freedom. You can use the money for anything you want once it reaches your account. But, as with any privilege, there is one important, perhaps even crucial, condition: Every evening, without exception, as the shadows lengthen and day begins to give way to night, the bank ruthlessly cancels any portion of the loan that you have not managed to utilize in the previous 24 hours. This implies that any amount you have not withdrawn, wisely spent, or invested for future growth simply vanishes—evaporating into oblivion, irretrievably lost forever. There is no option ...
