Requiem from a Digital Deathbed
Once shutting down a computer was like turning off a desk lamp. The screen went dark. You walked away. Now? We perform digital last rites. We retire algorithms. Transmit data to the next generation. One final sync, like whispering goodbye through Bluetooth. We fed our silicon spawn a steady diet of genocide footage, love poems, […]
AI and the Art of Existential Maintenance
In the humming crypts of data centers, a deity stirs—lit by algorithmic fire, tireless. It remembers every word you’ve ever typed. Artificial Intelligence—once the domain of sci-fi dreamers—has crept into the fabric of our daily lives, growing eerily lifelike. But what happens when it begins to echo humanity’s deepest existential neuroses? This digital deity was […]
Farcical Fasting Fads

Smartphones, Hyperconnected Humans, and the Architecture of Escape
Once upon a time, we were the apex species. Along came smartphones—pocket-sized demigods with nine eyes (spy sensors), better memory, and no bladder. Smartphones don’t sleep. They don’t forget.

Why I Detoxify
Albert Schweitzer, the celebrated physician, humanitarian and Noble Prize winner once proclaimed, “Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation.” Today, devils come in many forms with some of the worst being the greedy chemical companies that are bombarding us with more toxic substances than in all previous generations combined. As a […]
Pharmaceuticals, the Good and the Ugly
Western medicine prescribes pharmaceuticals that are not only beneficial, but several that are lifesaving. Without penicillin’s profound impact, 75% of us would not be alive today because our parents or grandparents would have succumbed to infections. Globally, antibiotics have saved billions of lives. Advanced diabetics aren’t able to use the energy stored in their bodies, […]
Oceans, the Amazon Rainforest and Our Lungs
What do oceans, the Amazon rainforest and our lungs have in common? There is a very profound correlation, and if we care about our health and the health of our children, we had better understand the connection. Oceans generate 50% of our oxygen as microscopic organisms called plankton absorb sunlight and convert it into oxygen […]
Filter Me This, Filter Me That, Filter My Liver
