Human #1: “Every object have gravity” Human #2: “We could shoot a bus-sized thing into a planet but nearly miss on purpose in such way that it’ll slingshot around in another direction even faster, and if we do that over and over again we’ll accelerate it. If we send it really fast, it’ll go to…
Portugal is one of the oldest countries in the world but one of the youngest democracies. Anyone that knows how the country is knows how undemocratic this form democracy is and how unfree this freedom is. That’s a bold statement that makes much more sense under different perspectives: I will take the liberty of defining…

That’s why “every new, advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”…
There is a big transition (often away from plastics) into sustainable alternatives. When trees are our best technology for carbon capture, is it really sustainable to cut trees to make paper / wood? Even when those trees were initially planted under a commercial context for that sole purpose? We need to think harder about using…
