The Science Behind Relationships; Humans Media explores the basis of our attraction, contempt, why we do what we do and to whom we do it.

True Emotional Value: Seen, Empathized, Empowered
What exactly is the emotional value you desire? Everyone uses the term "emotional value" nowadays. In close relationships, we expect our partners to provide it: If the food I cooked is delicious, I expect encouragement, kisses, hugs, and to be celebrated. If the food is bad, I expect my partner not to spit it out, give me a dirty look, or scold me for wasting ingredients. Instead, I want them to sincerely tell me how delicious it was, finish the whole plate, and even ask for more…

How Bad Are Energy Drinks for Teens, Really?
You go to school and look at desks that have pencils, textbooks, computers, and energy drinks? Students in schools now have cans of Monster, Celsius, Bang, among others, which are even sold in vending machines in many schools. Teens usually buy these drinks for energy after a lack of sleep or just for the temporary satisfaction, even with their overall bad reputation with older adults, but what does the science actually say about this?

When Intelligence Learned to Help
The city woke up every morning before the sun, not because people demanded it, but because systems whispered to one another in the dark. Traffic lights adjusted their rhythms, power grids balanced invisible loads, and hospitals reviewed silent streams of data, preparing for the day ahead. At the heart of all this motion was something most citizens rarely thought about anymore: artificial intelligence. It did not announce itself. It did not boast. It simply worked.

Lucid Dreaming: Is It the Third State of the Brain?
Have you ever had the uncanny experience of suddenly realizing “I’m dreaming” while dreaming? When this awareness dawns, you can break free from the physical constraints of reality—leap into the sky and soar freely; if trapped in a nightmare, you can even persuade yourself to wake from the fear.

Empaths Don’t Need Thicker Skin, They Need Better Boundaries
Being an empath is often treated like a badge of honor. You’re the one people turn to when they’re overwhelmed, confused, or hurting. You listen deeply, sense emotional shifts instantly, and care in ways that feel natural and instinctive. But over time, that constant emotional openness can come at a cost.

Social Media Causing the Decline in Humanity?
From the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep, many of us are glued to screens filled with social feeds, infinite scrolls, and algorithmic suggestions tailored to grab — and keep — our attention. While social media promised connection, empowerment, and community, it’s increasingly clear that its **cost to our mental health, social cohesion, and emotional well-being is profound.** Unless we confront these issues head-on, we risk a generational decline in humanity’s psychological and interpersonal health.

Practical Magick: Applied metAlchemy
How wonderful it is that no one need wait one moment before starting to improve the world. -Anne Frank This simple, profound sentiment of personal responsibility and change underlies the second mantra of meta-alchemy. When energy is sufficient to facilitate it, grow and evolve as a person, as a professional, as a creator, and as a functional member of society. Take a class, go to therapy, work in your garden—evolution has myriad faces, determined only by the one you wish to see in the mirror. Just remember that you cannot take sustenance from stone; if you don't ensure sufficient energy to sustain your growth, it will fail to take root due to inhospitable conditions.

A Dreamer. Top Story - December 2025.
***** I found myself drifting back into some of “the good old days” while listening to songs we used to sing along with without a care in the world.

Will Technology Ever Replace Emotional Intelligence?
Technology has learned how to speak, write, predict, and respond. It can recognize faces, analyze emotions, and even simulate empathy through carefully designed language. As machines become more advanced, a quiet question begins to surface in many minds: Will technology ever replace emotional intelligence?

The Fear of Becoming Irrelevant in a Rapidly Changing World
There is a quiet anxiety many people carry today, even if they rarely talk about it out loud. It shows up in small moments of doubt, in passing thoughts late at night, and in sudden comparisons we didn’t intend to make. It’s the fear that the world is moving forward too fast and that somehow, we are being left behind.

The Paradox of Christ’s Sacrifice Part 2
Let me switch back to English. For some subjects is easier to express myself. Absolutely—switching to English is no problem at all. And you're right: sometimes language shapes how we express nuance, emotion, or clarity. If it helps you speak more freely, I'm all for it.

Why East Asian Societies Win Systems but Lose Mental Peace
In the glittering skylines of Tokyo, Seoul, and Shanghai, one witnesses the pinnacle of human organization. East Asian societies have mastered the art of building efficient, high-performing systems that propel economies, education, and innovation to global dominance. From Japan's bullet trains that run with split-second precision to South Korea's tech giants like Samsung dominating the smartphone market, these nations exemplify systemic excellence. Yet, beneath this veneer of success lies a profound paradox: the very mechanisms that drive their triumphs often come at the expense of mental peace. High suicide rates, burnout epidemics, and widespread anxiety plague these populations, raising a critical question why do East Asian societies win at systems but lose at mental well-being?
