A Day That Broke Time. AI-Generated.
A Day That Broke Time The morning had started like any other in the sleepy town of Rivermist. Sunlight spilled lazily across cobblestone streets, and the air smelled of dew and wet earth. People went about their routines—bakers kneading dough, children chasing each other to school, and old men sipping tea on wooden benches. But something in the air that day felt… off, though no one could have said exactly what.

The Eternal Shadow of Alexander: How His Empire Shaped the World After His Death. AI-Generated.
Alexander died in Babylon under mysterious circumstances. Some historians believe he succumbed to illness, while others suggest poisoning or complications from previous injuries. Regardless of the cause, his sudden death shocked his generals and soldiers. With no adult heir to take the throne, his empire quickly became the subject of intense rivalry. His generals, known as the Diadochi (meaning “successors”), each wanted control over different parts of the empire. Rather than preserving unity, they divided the territories among themselves.

The Ecology of Self-Destruction
Human civilizations often imagine their downfall as something imposed from the outside—by enemies, invasions, or natural disasters. Yet, as Jared Diamond argues in Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, many societies have played the central role in their own destruction. Through the reckless over-exploitation of natural resources, short-term thinking, and failure to adapt to environmental limits, nations repeatedly undermine the very ecological systems that sustain them. Diamond’s comparative study of past and present societies reveals a sobering pattern: environmental self-destruction is rarely accidental, and collapse is often the predictable outcome of collective choices.

He sought to create a world where Greek and Eastern cultures blended together. This cultural mixing became one of his most lasting achievements.

A new and dangerous element has entered global security: artificial intelligence (AI). While AI brings speed, efficiency, and advanced decision-making, it also introduces a serious risk—especially when combined with nuclear weapons.
