evolution
The evolution of science, science fiction, and mankind throughout the years.
The GOLDEN Age
The term Golden Age comes from Greek mythology, particularly the Works and Days of Hesiod. He described the first age of man as Gold being the first and the one during which the Golden Race of humanity (Greek: χρύσεον γένος chrýseon génos) lived. After the end of the first age was the Silver, then the Bronze, after this the Heroic age, with the fifth and current age being Iron.

What is Unity Consciousness?
Author: Patrick Oliver Riley For: POR Productions As some one who has poured many foundations for people to build their homes upon a strong sturdy base is usually considered the best. Something that will hold up over a long time, and make sure the rest of the structure is supported so well, it is rarely given a second thought. A good form carpenter knows that any issues or flaws that show up in the foundation, will travel upwards through the rest of the house and possibly even amplify if not careful. A measurement that is only an inch off at the top of a basement wall can end up meaning a room is half a foot to wide by the second floor. Flaws that may seem inconsequential soon balloon into massive headaches down the road, for builder and home owner. It's the same with anything you wish to build. Especially societies.

Shades of Skin
As a freshman high school student, I remember this question popping up during the physics class on radiation: When black catches heat faster and leaves faster (opposite to white),why didn't people who live in hot areas and especially work under sun didn't evolve to have lighter skin to avoid sun strokes, and it only becomes only darker under the sun?

What can we learn from Ancient Philosophy?
My interest in learning and understanding philosophy occured in the early teenage years. Being quite familiar with some of the famous philosophers and their theories, there is always an appearance of one question, which I can't have an exact or direct answer to. The question is "Why so often, we rarely see the application of philosophical theories in combination with politics?".

Dawn to Dust
The world was different. The old-ones had abandoned the outside world, for glass domed cities. The ones left behind had no choice but to change. They grew accustom to the ever-changing world. Father calls us NeoSapien since our kind was born after the change. Our bodies still looked human. But we were different. We were better. Our senses were heightened, our lungs didn’t burn because of the air. Neither did our skin. Since the clouds are constantly swirling around the sun the uv rays became stronger.

The Progression of Life
What can we say about the origin of life, or what form life may take in the future, and elsewhere in the universe? It can be troubling that all we have to work with is what we current can observe here on Earth, but this one "laboratory" still gives us volumes of information to answer these kinds of questions. For a more in depth analysis, you can check out my detailed paper on the topic: The Progression of Life: Before, Now, and in the Future; Here and Elsewhere.

Living with a Disability During COVID-19
I love words. I am a logophile- "a lover of words." When this pandemic happened, no one knew what to do. Live like it was a normal day. But the “normal” day turned into wearing a mask to cover your nose and mouth, gloves to cover your hands when you went out. Animals were immune to it, or so we thought. But the key to never getting this deadly virus was keeping yourself clean, shower everyday, wash your hands and brush your teeth.

On Languages and Perceptions of the World
Language is a means by which the world is described, observed, explained, and, ultimately, understood. It unites a people by providing them with a universal way to talk about the world through a consensus on what words mean, how phrases are structured, and grammatical manifestations of greater ideologies. However, this universality exists only within an individual culture, as language itself varies slightly, and sometimes, drastically from one people to the next. The course of this essay intends to ethnographically explore the relationship between language and culture through considering the impact that various languages have on the social thinking within their designated cultures. Moreover, it will evaluate how the thinkings of these cultures differ as a result of their linguistically-rooted ideologies, and how these drastically different languages result in drastically different cultural understandings of anything from time, to behaviour, to quantity, to sounds.

Extinction: Why is Thanos' dogma puerile?
We have set foot on, reclaimed, and "bettered" 75% the land and 66% the oceans on the planet. Agricultural practices and livestock alone have taken over 33% of the land area and 75% freshwater. Thus, it provoked little wonder when a 2019 Nature's article evidenced that humans had pushed over 1 million flora and fauna species to the verge of extinction [7].

Who We Will Be After COVID-19?
Science fiction and our imagination have been hand in hand since our childhood. And always in a sense of technological progress: the first space satellites, long-distance communications, intelligent clocks and autonomous cars were shown to the world through the big screen before they were a fact.

Intellectual Enrichment
We humans, as a species have come a journey, where other species in our blue planet simply can’t comprehend. It is time we take moment to look back and appreciate what our ancestral genomes have bestowed us, nourished and enriched by the evolution through great many nights and days in the past. The skills, instincts, and many other valuable traits have been passed along to us by our ancestors with the time.
