From now on, I want to add a dedicated category about the &#8220;future&#8221; (&#8221;futurism&#8221;), already started with previous articles about the Raymond Kurzweil&#8217;s theory, or Jacque Fresco’s vision. [...]]]></description>

It does not happen that often, and might not in the future, if &#8220;Binge-drinking&#8221; (drinking lots of alcohol in a very short time) becomes a cultural habit in our societies&#8230; no more bar&#8217;s discussion, but bar&#8217;s puking &#8220;mate&#8221; atmosphere (happy [...]]]></description>

Pretty harsh vision of this tiny country disappearing during night time (click on the map of this post). This guy spent a few days in one of the most closed country in the world - his speech is pretty much political incorrect ; at least from European standards.

But Kennedy here presented such achievement as a symbol of individuality : sending someone on the moon, and getting him back. Safe. Each [...]]]></description>

Disturbing piece of art from an artist (Mladen Stilinović) born in Belgrade &#038; living in Croatia. What if we swapped the word &#8220;artist&#8221; by &#8220;businessman&#8221; ? The message is much deeper though, and makes us questioning about the real definition of &#8220;artist&#8221;&#8230;
