AI as a Reflective Surface
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence comes from treating it as an agent rather than a surface. When people speak about AI “doing the thinking,” “creating the ideas,” or “speaking for someone,” they are often projecting agency onto a system that does not possess intention, belief, or understanding. This projection obscures what is actually happening in many real-world uses. In those cases, AI is not acting as a source of meaning, but as a surface that reflects, redirects, and reshapes what is already present.

Exploring the Vast Universe of Perry Rhodan
I first stumbled upon Perry Rhodan on a rainy Saturday afternoon in a tiny secondhand bookstore in Berlin. I wasn’t looking for it—I was just hiding from the cold—but the neon orange spines on the shelf called to me like a secret. I picked up the first issue and found myself staring at a cover depicting gleaming spaceships, alien landscapes, and a man who somehow looked both heroic and terrified.

Satellites show that ice loss at Earth's poles is gradually getting worse.
Polar ice sheets do not suddenly break or collapse, according to satellite data. They slip most of the time, slowly and unrelentingly. Massive rivers of ice flow towards the sea every day from the centres of Antarctica and Greenland. The amount of ice that ends up in the ocean and the rate at which sea levels rise are determined by this motion.

Contrary to popular perception, far-side observations show that Earth's moon is not "dead."
For a long time, the moon appeared to be a world that had completed its major transformations before becoming silent. Although there are still scars on its surface from heavy impacts and past lava floods, many experts have viewed such features as remnants of a far older era.
