"Future?" by Boris Bobrov Future planning? Tuesday – February 17, 2026 Should you plan for the future? Well, to answer the easy part of that question first: you should always plan ahead in the immediate or short term, and that would include everything from paying taxes to not dying of starvation. That's the easy part, but with the heading, "Future planning?", I have in mind a rather more long term question: should you plan ahead for several decades. Well for instance, most people plan for what they're going to do when they decide to retire, but this isn't true either; it's actually the case that most people plan for their retirement rather than what they're going to do once they're retired. But this post isn't about retirement; what I'm getting at is the idea that you for sure will have a life in the far future, and by far I'm referring to life many decades ahead, read my post " When will you die " to get some more ideas...

Bot by Theo Further thoughts about " Bots " | Monday – February 16, 2026 If you're interested in reading about "Bots", I've linked my first post on this subject under the heading.     There's been much talk about bots and artificial intelligence (AI) lately, and while I do not know too much about these things, since I tend to stay rather aloof about "popular culture", I do believe that most people seem to take a negative view of bots and AI.

See, there's been as well much talk about " progress ", but in this regard most people seem to just not view bots as a kind of progress, and this is rather baffling to me, but then I am reminded of history and the character of most modern men. See, most modern men do not like the idea of some kind of disruption to the status-quo, since they've been ins...

Photograph of the Atlas globe Intelligence operations | Sunday – February 15, 2026 In my post on " sentimentalism " I briefly mentioned the Epstein files, and while I have no intention on dwelling about those in this post I thought I'd take the opportunity to present my views on the matter of "intelligence", because at the moment there's a lot of talk going around about Jeffrey Epstein and his supposed ties to intelligence, Israeli intelligence to be specific. Well, my views are that most likely this Epstein person was not an intelligence asset, but if he indeed was connected to intelligence, then it's actually more likely that he was a part, a node, in some kind of network and that he actually worked for the Americans. You see, when it comes to intelligence, it's just not the case that you're going to be better off sitting on your own "secret", and apart from that, it's very much a normal occurrence that "allies" spy on e...
