At seventeen I heard the old silversmith say: Silver is like water if you force it it hardens. Fifty years later the water will overflow the dam Trump may change the rules, but he cannot alter the element's atomic number. Element 79 has been there since ancient Babylon. It will always be there.

At the India AI Impact Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei offered a subtle lesson in avoiding unwanted handshakes. During a group photo, they noticeably declined to link hands, even as other leaders—including host Narendra Modi—joined arms on stage.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

At this point, we can no longer cling to rigid thinking. This era is no longer the one we once knew. What we must do is adapt to the times. In the torrent of history, humanity is but a speck.

Doing nothing useful? He’s done a lot of things. Helping the people with their problems? He’s only been working for the benefit of capital. Then what’s all this doubt about the votes? Doesn’t he have even a little sense of reality?!
