Japanese Trains Use This One Trick So They Are Never Delayed
Japan is a super cool place where they treasure old traditions, but they also embrace brand-new ideas and technologies. It's like having both an ancient treasure chest and a futuristic spaceship in the same country! That might seem a little strange, but it's what makes Japan a fantastic and unique place.

A new kind of 3D-printed carrot, in the words of its Qatar-based inventors. Content Warning.
Qatari students aim to make ‘food accessible to people all over the world’ with their newly invented 3D printer. Innovation in the heart of Qatar has birthed a groundbreaking solution to the widespread issue of food insecurity. Two visionary students, Mohammad Annan, aged 20, and Lujain Al Mansoori, aged 21, both pursuing information systems at Doha's Carnegie Mellon University, have achieved an extraordinary feat - the creation of a 3D printer capable of mass-producing vegetables, offering a potential remedy to the global food crisis.

The Religiosity of the Scientific Mind
A lot of people put a lot of credence in the scientific “belief” model. In their mind, science is 100 percent right because it has been proven and religion/spirituality is a bunch of fairy tale hoo-hah. They base their belief in science on things they have only been allowed to read (just like Christians base their beliefs on what they have read in the Bible and ancient spiritual texts. There is an awful lot of scientific knowledge in the Bible by the way). But NOT ONE of these science-based based pearl clutchers and chest beaters has ever set foot in a scientific laboratory or worked on a peer reviewed scientific manuscript that are “providing” this scientific knowledge they hokd so dear as truth. I have. I worked in academic science for 25 years, and I can tell you unequivocally, IT IS A CONTROLLED BELIEF SYSTEM meant to manipulate the stupid public by fooling them into thinking they are smart. It is an ego manipulation meant to control you. Frequently, very frequently, important scientific knowledge that has been ascertained and gone through the “infamous” double blind study protocol and peer review is never released to the public. The public (and that means “you”) are spoon-fed only what is deemed necessary for you to know and that knowledge is presented in a way to control you and make you feel superior and special. I have personally witnessed it and participated in this ruse firsthand when I worked at one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country and would help stage events for the media. Yes, they are staged events. When we designed these events, a lot of money was put it into from appropriate artwork (down to putting fake family pictures on the desks of scientists to make them look more human and up to falsified scientific displays that the media would come in film/take pictures of and slobber like a bunch of incompetent idiots thinking they were special. I am NOT saying the scientists were not human, they were so don’t go down the rabbit hole. They, however, were trained not to show compassion or in some instances love. And the public has been manipulated into thinking they were family men with beautiful children. They were made to look harmless. At one point, pictures of MY children were used in a national news show as the “children” of a renowned scientist who had no children, but they wanted him to appear to be a normal family man. MY CHILDREN. At one point, I filled up test tubes with watered down tea and apple juice so an experiment could be staged for the media. The media would be given tweaked information in the form of papers and unpublished manuscripts full of shit that they would then report on to manipulate the public. Yet the media was manipulated through ego into thinking they were being given privileged information. I was part of the machinery. I was young and didn't know better and my ego was stroked. But that said, for lack of a better word, I was an “insider.” Yes, a very low-level insider, but I saw stuff. And I was also manipulated into thinking I was special because I walked among the human gods/scientists who were manipulating you. So, when you spit off nonsense of breakthroughs and how science is the only way to believe because it is proven truth because you have been fed false information and have had your ego stroked into thinking you are smarter than you are, I have to kind of laugh at you. You have been manipulated in the EXACT same way you claim religious leaders have manipulated people over millennium to control you.

Learn to Code or go extinct
Learning about programming and artificial intelligence is essential for anyone who wants to successfully navigate the complex currents of the near future, given how quickly technology and industry are moving. AI, with its extraordinary ability to imitate human cognition, offers previously unheard-of prospects for automation, prediction, and optimization. Programming, as the fundamental language of computers, enables the creation of digital solutions to a wide range of problems. Large language models (LLMs), which are capable of digesting enormous volumes of text input and producing human-like prose, have become a revolutionary force in the field of artificial intelligence. This makes them particularly significant in the current era.
