At the time of this writing, every person on Earth uses an average of 33 kilos of resources every day, translating to 12 tons of materials per person each year. And people in the Western world (aka the First World) use up to 74 kilos of resources daily—with over 100 billion tons of terrestrial resources mined each year. Global material …

In the following, I want to briefly describe an econopathogenic puzzle or riddle that I will then explore and solve in detail.

It started as a joke, as many things do. Somewhere between project deadlines and late-night brainstorming, a certain question began making the rounds in the industry echo chambers: “what would the real intelligence agencies think of the work we do at Deimos-One?” There’s an element of intrigue to it, one that some of us lean into a bit more than …

Human action/behavior is equal parts fascinating, complex, and puzzling. But, perhaps even more complex and puzzling, is the concept of self-awareness and introspection — as the very premise itself hinges on a logical contradiction. The human brain, which powers the human earth-suit, is a complex system comprised of billions of interactions which shape our thoughts, feelings, dreams, memories, and ultimately …
