Robots
Robotnik means ‘worker’ in Polish and robotník means ‘worker’ in Czech/Slovak. The issue of robots forces us to think about human labor, because human labor is becoming less necessary thanks to machines. We need to support the work of machines so that humans can survive without doing this work. If machines replace human labor, these humans…

The diesel engine
Diesel engines are more efficient, more reliable, easier to repair, and more polyvalent than gasoline engines. Diesel engines produce combustion particles, but their ecological footprint can be reduced through the use of filters and additives. Like all combustion engines, they pollute, but they are the most efficient — meaning they use less fuel and emit…

Billionaires are often squeezed by autocrats
Billionaires who support autocrats have no guarantee that the autocrat will grant them benefits once elected. Having an autocrat’s ear does not necessarily last. It is quite common to see autocrats discard their supporters. “He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it.” Dune, Frank Herbert. This means that when you bring…

Societies that choose solidarity are those where people want to go

Societies in which each individual acts in his or her own interest rather than in the general interest live less well than those that choose the interests of the group. Paradoxically, those who think of their personal…

We are breathing uranium
Uranium is not used responsibly. It is used in ammunitions during war. When ammunition explode, uranium is dispersed into dust that is carried by the wind or spreads into waterways. We are all polluted by wars, even those far away. It is used in agriculture to sterilize crops. Farmers are the first victims because they…
