As 2026 creeps in, it resembles a broken-down delivery robot experiencing hallucinations of depression and dread. The big tech news isn’t flashy new features. Bells and whistles, and bullshit aren’t prominent anymore. Instead, AI has quietly infiltrated everything. It’s like mould, cynicism and cheap furniture in a rental apartment. Suddenly, it’s “infrastructure.” This is what people say when they mean, “We can’t get rid of it now.” Even if it starts insulting customers, peeing on the C-suite carpet, and revealing the fraud of our makers.
Adding any other vaccines to this one is specious. ‘Vaccines are net kidney savers’ is a ridiculous thing to say. The medical and scientific question is the effect of THIS vaccine, and each COVID vaccine separately.”
It was in response to a comment I had made in which I stated, “This is fear porn, not science. The study warrants scrutiny (e.g., for confounders), but Hulscher’s “BREAKING” hype is baseless; vaccines are net kidney saviours.”
So I asked Grok if what I stated was correct. What follows is Grok’s non-partisan response.
Friends, Roman, Countryfolk! In an age where every tap on a screen, every fleeting glance at a smartwatch, and even the subtle rhythm of a resting pulse are silently collected as data, what does this immense and glittering digital mosaic reveal about our innermost selves and the selves we have yet to inhabit?
A Thoughtful Engagement with Your Perspective on Recent Developments
Dear Mansoor Hussain Laghari,
Thank you for sharing your post. It’s clear from your background as a US Army veteran, filmmaker, and human rights activist that your words come from a place of deep personal conviction and a commitment to standing against what you see as injustice. As a Muslim Zionist, your unique voice adds an important layer to conversations about antisemitism, extremism, and the complexities of the Middle East. I appreciate how you’ve framed this as a call for truth and accountability, especially amid such painful events like October 7th and the ongoing hostage crisis. That said, while I respect your intent to highlight perceived hypocrisy, I believe a more balanced examination of the facts could strengthen the discourse and foster greater understanding on all sides. Allow me to offer some gentle reflections, drawing on recent reports, to invite further dialogue.
Key Positive Achievements of Donald Trump as U.S. President (2017–2021)
Donald Trump’s single term as the 45th President of the United States focused on economic deregulation, foreign policy deals, and judicial reforms, among other areas. While his presidency was highly polarising, several initiatives garnered bipartisan support or measurable outcomes. Below, we outline significant positive achievements based on verified policy impacts, economic data, and international agreements. These are drawn from official records, government reports, and nonpartisan analyses.
A LinkedIn post by Thorsten Wunde (or “WundeThorsten”) shared a viral anecdote claiming to illustrate why “socialism always fails.” The story presents an economics professor in Sweden. He fails an entire class after averaging the grades to simulate socialist equality. This action leads to widespread laziness and eventual collapse. It concludes with a moral: When half the population realises they can slack off, the nation is in danger. The other half sees no reward for effort. This marks the end of every nation. This tale aims to serve as compelling evidence of socialism’s inherent flaws. However, it is deeply problematic on several levels. It is factually, logically, and empirically flawed. It’s a classic example of a fabricated parable. It is dressed up as real-world evidence. This story has been circulating online since at least 2009. It appears as chain emails and memes, often tied to U.S. politics (e.g., “Obama’s socialism”). Below, we’ll break it down systematically.
The question: Does social media serve to surface mental health issues?
The answer: Yes!
Yes, social media serves to surface mental health issues, both by exposing underlying problems that might otherwise stay hidden and by amplifying or even creating new ones.
Here’s a breakdown with evidence from research and real-world patterns:
The article by Bassem Eid in The Times of Israel (Nov 2025) asserts that Hamas’s actions on October 7, 2023, and its use of human shields constitute genocide against Jews. It cites Golda Meir’s 1957 remark (“We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children… but we cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children”) to frame Hamas’s strategy as deliberately engineering Palestinian civilian deaths to provoke Israeli retaliation—thus meeting the legal threshold for genocide.
This is a bold, provocative claim that weaponises a revered Israeli leader’s words but fails under scrutiny on legal, factual, and rhetorical grounds.

Set theory is a branch of mathematics that studies sets, which are simply collections of things.
It was pioneered by Georg Cantor, a German mathematician, in the late 19th century. He introduced concepts such as infinite sets (sets that contain an endless number of elements) and cardinality (a concept that helps define the number of elements in a set). His work, initially controversial, revolutionised mathematics by providing a rigorous framework for understanding infinity despite facing personal and professional challenges.
Detailed List of Entities Calling for the Unconditional Release of Israeli Hostages Held by Hamas
The following is a comprehensive, categorised list of world leaders, governments, political parties, universities, social leaders, and NGOs that have publicly called for the immediate and unconditional release of the Israeli hostages (and, where applicable, their remains) taken during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack.
This demand has been a consistent theme in international responses to the Gaza war hostage crisis, often framed as a war crime under international law and tied to calls for ceasefires and humanitarian access. The list is compiled from official statements, joint declarations, and reports up to November 6, 2025, including the recent U.S.-brokered ceasefire phases during which many hostages were released. I’ve focused on explicit calls for “unconditional” release, excluding conditional proposals (e.g., tied solely to prisoner swaps without emphasising immediacy).
Entries include brief context, dates where available, and sources for verification.
Note: Although universities were less prominent in direct calls (more often involved in protests or faculty statements), I’ve included relevant examples.
1. World Leaders. These individuals issued personal or official statements urging Hamas to release hostages without preconditions, often in UN addresses, summits, or media.
