Researchers find that certain cognitive abilities are associated with longer lifespans in older persons.
A new study published in Psychological Science notes that not all aspects of intelligence are equally related to how long people live. It has long been known that more intelligent people live longer, but researchers who used data from research based on the Berlin era discovered a specific ability: verbal liquids. Those who could quickly name animals or words, starting with a particular letter, tended to be longer than those who had to deal with them. High values for these tasks predict a nearly nine-year difference in median survival.

✨ Tomorrow’s Children
When the world ended, it didn’t come with a bang or a whimper. It came with a solution. They called it the Eden Accord — the global initiative to perfect humanity through genetic engineering, artificial empathy, and "optimized living." Poverty disappeared. Disease became ancient history. Wars flickered out like forgotten bonfires.

Starbuilders
Twenty years ago, the stars above Nothaar Akii's head suddenly changed. Christening it the Sky Shift, Nothaar found that this event was merely the harbinger of a devastating metamorphosis that was about to befall his world. More than anything, though, it impacted the children. Newborns came out of the womb with strange physical features, far different than anything seen before. As they grew up, the youths intuitively spoke a tongue that no one else understood. After learning these conditions were not isolated to his far northern village, Nothaar set out on a long journey of discovery, taking him all the way to the southernmost tip of the land.

The Demiurge: The Hidden Entity That Controls Our World
The Demiurge: The Hidden Entity That Controls Our World For centuries, philosophers, mystics, and conspiracy theorists have speculated about who—or what—truly rules our world. While mainstream narratives attribute power to governments, corporations, and elite organizations, a deeper and more esoteric theory suggests that an ancient, supernatural force governs human existence. This force is known as the Demiurge—a deceptive and controlling entity that has imprisoned humanity within a false reality.

Julie sat at the back of her classroom, just like always. She hated school — and history was the worst lesson of all. Her parents had warned her never to believe what the teachers said about the past.

The Silent Accord
In the year 2147, humanity had finally built its perfect world. No hunger. No war. No poverty. No disease. The planet, once scarred by conflict and catastrophe, now shimmered under a lattice of satellite-fed cloud makers, programmable flora, and geo-engineered oceans. Every human need was anticipated, every human want elegantly resolved.

The Conference. Top Story - April 2025.
EARTH ROOM IX OPERATION 11235 DEBATE IN SESSION Thomas stared at the Conference room door, filled with both dread and relief. He had finally made it to the room. He was surprised he had even made it this far. He had come with two others, but they’d been caught earlier. He just prayed no one would be on his trail. He had never met a Counselman, let alone a Headmaster before. The woman at the front desk—if that was a woman—didn’t notice, but she might not have ever been on Earth before… Maybe a Counselman or the Headmaster would be able to tell…

Humans are still better than AI at reading the room
When it comes to truly “reading the room,” humans are still far ahead of even the most advanced AI systems. A recent study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University sheds light on a critical shortcoming in today’s artificial intelligence technology—its inability to accurately interpret and respond to social interactions, especially in dynamic real-world scenarios.
