    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    I suspect the underlying psychology is similar to that in play with the advertising industry that creates the notion that there is a wonderful exciting world out there that you are not part of but which you can join if you buy this product. Many Influencers gain followers as they display the...

    Aviation info.

    When you look at the way some executives misused Garuda to carry large goods for them to avoid paying customs duties it is clear that there is a mindset that sees the airline as their personal gravy train and will do anything, no matter the cost to the country, to keep things afloat. As for...

    Iran war breaks Indonesia-Iran ties

    Never mind, it is all part of God's mysterious plan. Although I do have a feeling he/she is off in some other part of the infinite universe and left us to our own devices. Hence the present state of crisis.

    Stone the crows. How will this go down in Bali?

    Military governments usually turn out to be very poor governments. Hopeless at economic management and given to graft and looting. The excesses of military control would wipe Bali off the map as a tourist destination. This organic waste problem is critical. Unless well handled there could be an...

    Birute Galdikas, the last of 'Leakey's Angels', passed away
