THE FUTURE OF ROBOTS AND THE EMPLOYMENT DILEMMA
It’s becoming increasingly clear that androids will soon be part of our daily lives, taking on household chores, grocery shopping, and even jobs in factories, logistics, and construction. Automation is advancing with the goal of reducing costs and increasing profits, but this raises a major issue: if robots take over our jobs, where will we get the money to live? If too many people are unemployed, who will buy the products these companies produce?
There are two possible scenarios. One is the creation of a new economic model, where automation forces the implementation of a universal basic income to ensure financial stability for those who can no longer find traditional jobs. This way, consumer spending remains active, and the economy avoids collapse.
The other scenario is a transformation of the job market. Just like the Industrial Revolution eliminated some jobs but created many others, automation could generate new professions we can’t yet imagine. Humans might shift towards creative fields, tech-driven roles, or industries where empathy and human interaction remain irreplaceable.
What’s clear is that if we want a future where robots make life easier without triggering social collapse, we must rethink the economic model. Technology is progressing, but without a strategy for adaptation, the risk of a consumption crisis is real.

RICHARD DAWSON'S KISSESThe other day, I stumbled upon a video online that really caught my attention. It was a clip from a TV show where the host kissed all the female contestants on the lips, and it all seemed completely natural. Something that, nowadays, would be almost unimaginable. After digging a little deeper, I found out it was Richard Dawson, the host of the hit game show Family Feud in the '70s and '80s.
Dawson’s unique habit of kissing contestants wasn’t planned from the start. It began spontaneously when one particularly nervous contestant stepped up to play. To calm her down, Dawson gave her a kiss on the cheek. As luck would have it, she went on to win the game. From then on, the gesture became a sort of good luck charm, evolving into a tradition that became one of Dawson’s trademarks.
Of course, even back then, not everyone saw this practice in a positive light. There were critics who questioned whether it was appropriate or felt it crossed a line. However, the majority of American society viewed these kisses as something charming and harmless, and Family Feud remained a beloved program for audiences.
It’s fascinating how something that seemed so normal at the time now feels surprising or even uncomfortable. Each era has its own way of interpreting relationships and social gestures, and Richard Dawson’s story perfectly reflects how society back then embraced a more laid-back and spontaneous perspective. Perhaps that’s why, for many, those times carry a certain nostalgic charm that’s hard to replicate today.

THE BEST OF CES2K25The CES 2025 (Consumer Electronics Show) is the world's most important consumer tech event, held from January 7 to 10, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
This annual event brings together leading tech companies, startups, and innovators to showcase their latest products and advancements in areas like artificial intelligence, electronic devices, autonomous vehicles, digital health, and more.
Social media is buzzing with many of the products and breakthroughs revealed this year, but for me, robotics stole the show.
Let’s be honest: you've been lifting the skirts of every Barbie doll that’s crossed your path. And now you’re going to tell me you’d keep your hands to yourself if you were alone with one of these robots?
Sure. Right. You don’t even believe that yourself.

WE LIVE IN A SIMULATIONSometimes, the line between reality and imagination starts to blur. Everything seems solid, immutable—until a small detail, a glitch in the system, shakes us. That crack in the perfection leaves us with an unsettling thought: what if none of this is real? What if everything we perceive as true is just an elaborate simulation designed to deceive our senses?
The idea of living in a simulation has been explored in philosophy, science, and, of course, pop culture. From ancient philosophers questioning the nature of reality to modern theorists suggesting our existence might be a complex computer program, the concept intrigues and disturbs in equal measure. At first glance, it seems far-fetched, but isn’t it stranger to think that this life—with all its chaos, patterns, and mysteries—could simply be the product of a cosmic accident?
Those moments when something feels off—when déjà vu hits hard, when an impossible pattern appears where it shouldn’t, or when everything seems too perfect—remind us how fragile our perception is. They make us wonder if we’re only seeing what someone, or something, wants us to see.
If we live in a simulation, what’s the purpose? Is it an experiment, a form of entertainment, or just a game for some higher entity? Or, perhaps even more terrifyingly, it has no purpose at all, and we’re just lines of code running on a forgotten server.

THE ATTRACTION TO PLUSH TOYSThe attraction to plush toys is deeply connected to emotions and personal experiences. For many, they symbolize a link to childhood, happy moments, and a sense of security. Their soft texture and adorable appearance provide comfort and stress relief, and in some cases, they serve as emotional objects that help cope with loneliness or anxiety. Others collect them for their symbolism, aesthetic appeal, or the memories they evoke.
The anthropomorphic design of plush toys, with their expressive eyes and cute features, naturally creates emotional bonds. In more specific cases, when they become a fetish, they blend innocence, comfort, and fantasy, often tied to unique personal experiences.

THE ACCIDENT-PRONE UBER RIDERAn Uber delivery rider on a bike is harassed by a moving car that eventually pushes him off, sending him tumbling down a hill. The video’s comments section lights up immediately:
- That’s not funny.
- Bro, this isn’t funny. He’s just doing his job on a bike.
- Attempted murder.
- Dude, are you okay?
- The driver deserves a beating if this is real.
Then you click on the Instagram account where the video is posted, and surprise! It’s the delivery guy’s own profile. Here’s the plot twist: his page is full of similar videos. People sticking objects in his wheels, shoving him, him falling down stairs with his bike, or throwing food bags directly at customers’ faces. It’s all clearly staged to go viral.
The real issue isn’t whether this Uber delivery rider is right or wrong for creating this type of content. The real problem is the flood of people rushing to comment without a shred of common sense. I mean, I get it: you’re scrolling through Instagram, a video like this pops up, and at first glance, you think it’s real. But rushing to comment? Do you seriously feel this overwhelming need to chime in and end up looking like a fool?
I don’t know—maybe just keep it to yourself. At least that way, no one will know how gullible you are.
