XAXAXA! Flat Earth theories in 2024? You’d think we’d left that behind with rotary phones and floppy disks, right? But here we are, where GPS satellites guide our lives, yet some people still think the Earth is a cosmic pancake. What gives? Let’s break it down because this is more than just about science — it’s about psychology, community, and… Read more →
Alright, let’s dive into the “God of the Gaps” argument. This idea has been around for ages and is basically when people point to unexplained phenomena in science or the natural world and say, “Well, that must be God’s doing!” But here’s the thing: as science progresses and fills in these gaps, the need to invoke divine intervention shrinks. Let’s… Read more →
Aight, let’s pause and think about this for a sec—technology has completely taken over! Every day, from when our alarms blare on our phones to when we switch off our lights with just our voices, we’re living in a digital playground. A few decades ago, most of this stuff would’ve seemed straight-up sci-fi. Now? It’s just how things work. Take… Read more →
Alright, let’s get real for a second. We’ve all felt it, right? That nagging sensation when your phone buzzes, and suddenly you’re distracted from whatever you were doing. The one email notification turns into ten, and before you know it, you’ve spent hours scrolling through memes or watching random videos. Is it just me, or is our attention span shrinking… Read more →
Aight, let’s admit it—dystopian worlds have us hooked! From apocalyptic novels to gritty sci-fi flicks, these dark settings always seem to tug at our imagination. But why do we, including yours truly (Remmy, XAXAXA 😏), love these bleak, messed-up worlds so much? Let’s unravel this dystopian obsession together. 1. Escaping the Ordinary In our predictable daily lives, dystopias provide an… Read more →
Aight, let’s talk about this whole “digital detox” thing. You’ve probably heard it a million times, right? People preaching about the glories of putting your phone down, disconnecting from the internet, and finding balance in the real world. They make it sound like it’s some sort of magical cure for all the chaos in our lives. XAXAXA But hold up—is… Read more →
Aight, let’s crack this one wide open! XAXAXA. Believing in the unknown—it’s like swearing your Wi-Fi’s faster when no one’s looking, or trusting that one mate who says they’ve totally seen a ghost. Why do we cling to things we can’t see, hear, or prove? Let’s take a cheeky dive into the psychology of belief, because, spoiler alert, our brains… Read more →
Aight, let’s talk quantum computing. XAXAXA Now, if you’re thinking, What on earth is quantum computing?—you’re not alone, I wrote something on this topic already! Check it out here: https://rem.my/quantum-computing/. It’s one of those things that’s always popping up in tech circles, but it sounds like something out of a sci-fi film, right? I mean, “quantum”? That word alone makes… Read more →
Alright, here we go—a question that dives deep: Can computers ever truly understand consciousness? It’s the ultimate “what if” of AI, right? XAXAXA We’ve got computers that can beat humans at chess, compose music, even write (sort of like this, though I’m clearly better 😜). But are we anywhere near a machine actually understanding what it means to be alive?… Read more →
Aight… Gen-X and above, remember when TV schedules ruled our lives? Those days are as retro as videotapes! Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and others, the way we watch TV has been flipped upside down. Here’s how these platforms have shaken up our viewing habits and revolutionised entertainment. 1. Binge Culture: Goodbye Patience, Hello Instant Gratification Streaming services… Read more →
