Discussion
Five Broken Blades
I don’t mind when a story is so clear you know making its point that there is going to be a second book to it, that it is not just a one-off story. But what I don’t like, is when that is done in the last 50 pages of the book, where you are not sure leading up to the ending if there is more story or if this is just going to end.

The Flying Machine, AI, and the Fear of Progress
This article is the first part of what I can see being an ongoing series possibly of discussions with AI - in this case ChatGPT. Ai is the new technology that has everyone a quiver and instead of listening to other people tell me I should be afraid of it - that it's bad - it produces a lot of garbage...I decided to find out for myself and explore it.

The Book's Too Big Without You
Introduction Modifying the title from The Police song but these are just some thoughts that I have when I see these absolutely huge libraries of physical books. I have about ten bookcases in my house and hundreds of unread books on my Kindle, and I am also a very slow reader.

The effects of culture in our lives
I have been specifically asked to present something to you about culture. In this regard, today's program may be a little different, but I will definitely try to easily go through the difficult stages that have been or are being presented in the search for the culture of our lives. Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen about 62 different definitions or discussions about culture, but in the field of knowledge, humanities and social sciences have not been able to reach any specific final conclusion. That is, our very worthy anthropologist, a woman like Benedict, or the great French scholar Levi Star, and then on the literary level, T.S.L. Eliot, all of them have defined it. But the truth is that I am courageous and have a stone in my heart and with great courage, I understand that Westerners are not able to give the correct definition of culture in such a way that they consider culture to be associated with human life, this life that we are living. But for this, it is necessary to expand this life far and wide until you understand the life to which it belongs. Not from the intermediate parts between birth and death, but with this endless journey of life that goes from here to here after, these poor people have this life and its knowledge and know about it, so they often say that the relationships of a certain group of people, their beliefs, their games, their movements, their courage and honesty, whose culture is and becomes a part of it, we accept this.
