AI, Nuclear Weapons, and Accidental War
AI, Nuclear Weapons, and Accidental War In the modern world, wars are no longer fought only with soldiers, tanks, and planes. 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. The greatest danger of the future may not be a planned nuclear war, but an accidental one.

Future Wars in the Age of Artificial Intelli
Future Wars in the Age of Artificial Intelligence If the new battlefield is hidden inside a nation’s systems, then Artificial Intelligence is becoming the most powerful weapon within it. Future wars will not begin with tanks crossing borders or fighter jets in the sky. They will begin with algorithms, data, and decisions made at machine speed. AI is changing not only how wars are fought, but also who controls power and how quickly conflicts can spiral out of control.

Looking Again at Frances Farmer
I am always surprised by the fact that Frances Farmer (1913 — 1970) was a movie star in the 1930s. There is something modern, hard-edged and contemporary about her image, perhaps because Jessica Lange played her as such in Frances, released in 1982.

When you think of elite influence, your mind might jump to energy markets or tech monopolies. But few realise how deeply entrenched oligarchic wealth has become in agriculture—a sector traditionally seen as humble, grounded, and vital.

When the Circus Came to Town
Long before stadium tours, streaming premieres, or “limited engagement” billboards glowing along the interstate, there was a different kind of announcement. It arrived quietly... Sometimes on a handbill tacked to a feed store, sometimes by rumor passed between kids at school.

South Asia on Edge: Why Small Crises Carry Big Global Risks
South Asia on Edge: Why Small Crises Carry Big Global Risks South Asia is one of the most sensitive regions in the world today.

The Net Worth of the Golden River: Measuring the Value of History’s Greatest Myth
So what is the net worth of the Golden River? While it cannot be calculated like a bank account or a gold reserve, its value can be estimated through economic loss, potential mineral wealth, cultural impact, and historical influence. When all these dimensions are considered, the Golden River may be worth more than any physical treasure ever discovered.
