The 1966 Five Monkey Experiment illustrates social learning and operant conditioning. Monkeys learned to avoid climbing a ladder due to the fear of punishment, even without experiencing the cold water spray themselves. Over time, this behavior persisted as a tradition among the group.
This experiment shows how social behaviors can be transmitted across generations without individuals understanding the original reason for the behavior.

Robots and Employment: Insights from Japan (1978-2017)
A recent study from Japan shows that using robots and automation can actually create more jobs and boost wages.
The key is that automation lowers production costs, allowing businesses to expand, which leads to more job opportunities. This study suggests that technology and robots aren’t always bad news for workers—they can bring benefits too!

There are no ordinary people. You have never
talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.
But it is immortals whom we joke with,
work with, marry, snub, and exploit immortal horrors
or everlasting splendours.

Nietzsche’s quote suggests that to become a true hero, one must face significant challenges.
The transformation of the “serpent” into a “dragon” symbolizes the need for worthy obstacles that drive personal growth and strength.
Without such challenges, a hero cannot fully realize their potential.

How to Grow Food Year-Round:
A walipini is an underground or partially buried greenhouse that uses the earth’s thermal mass to keep temperatures stable year-round. With a plastic or glass roof, it harnesses passive solar energy, reducing the need for heating and cooling, making it efficient even in winter climates as cold as -20°C (-4°F).
Key benefits include energy savings, water management (with proper drainage and rainwater collection), and low-cost construction using local materials. Built facing the equator for maximum sunlight, a well-insulated walipini maintains internal temperatures of 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), perfect for year-round growing.
