Mourning Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That's all I wanted now, to drift quietly into the sound of nothing. I had searched for that abyss here on earth but 2022 had evolved our planet into one giant satellite that could stream a steady kind of tinnitus you could actually feel. There were no more places one could dwell among the mountaintops and contemplate the Now. There was only the perpetual buzz of communications resonating through the Social Registry chip implanted in every citizen's molar. I needed to find fluent silence.

The Magical Power of Your Thoughts
What are thoughts? Every thought creates a double effect. At first, it creates a vibrating wave, it is described as some radiations from the center that are very similar to the radiations of a radio wave, compared to a transmitting tower. This wave vibrates outside in all the directions in circular motions, with an intensity that gets slower and slower gradually as it circulates.

Find Out If We Are Living In a Simulated Universe From Personal Experience
What is a simulated universe? Let us take a moment and think about what we call “reality”. The answer seems obvious on face-value. Reality is everything we perceive using our five senses: taste, smell, hearing, touch and sight. But is this really the case?

Post Positivism
Intro To play a game there need be rules. The study of international relations being the search for the rules of state interaction. Positivism in that regard has shaped the questions that have been asked in IR. It created boundaries as to what was acceptable research. Post positivism then is the critique of that narrative and it asks us to reconsider fundamental assumptions about a casual international world. First, we will briefly define positivism and post-positivism highlighting each approaches significance. Following, will be a discussion on how post-positivism and positivism may not be as distinct as imagined. Lest we forget that the curse of modernity is to forget that we are like the rest who have come before us. Indeed, that to regard the newest ideas as fundamentally different from those of the past is the most common human expression of ego.

Forgotten World
Jacob cautiously examines his surroundings as the two slowly descend the stationary, ice covered escalator. Slowly they walk, tightly grasping the railing with each step they took. The floor below was flooded. The morning breeze brought in by the shattered ceiling above, leaving specks of snow melting on the surface of the murky, viridescent water. It was cold. Cold as any winter day. Even under his worn duffel coat he could still feel it. Every breath gushed from his mouth like steam from a train engine.
