A study of France and Britain as mirrors of Western decline — from post-war faith in welfare to today’s procedural governance, fiat money, and managed control. The end of the post-war promise is not collapse but sedation.
Are humans naturally exploitative, or do we learn domination from culture? This essay traces the roots of exploitation from evolution to empire and argues that individual virtue must be joined to collective
A reflective essay on the Last Supper as a farewell rather than the founding of a religion. Jesus underestimated the power of the social construct that sustains civilisation — and, like prophets before and after him, paid the price for his honesty.
Conserva me Domine, quoniam speravi in te 1. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have trusted in thee. Notes: 2. Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges. I have said to the Lord: Thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my …

While the public argues about chatbots and digital art, artificial intelligence has quietly crossed a threshold: it no longer merely assists research — it now makes discoveries of its own. From protein folding to mathematics, weather, and medicine, the pace of knowledge has shifted from human time to machine time. The question is no longer whether AI will transform science, but whether humanity can still keep pace with the knowledge it creates.
