Artificial Intelligence Isn’t Dangerous. We Are.

Everyone seems afraid of artificial intelligence these days. Some believe it’ll take over the world, steal jobs, hack hearts, and of course, wipe out humanity with a button no one asked for. But maybe the problem isn’t AI. Maybe the problem is… us, just with Wi-Fi.

By Maria Raquel

These days, paying a bill has become an achievement. A flex. Almost a reason for a mirror selfie with the caption: “Paid in full ?.” And it’s not ironic. With inflation soaring and wages shrinking, managing to stay on top of your payments is becoming as rare as a clean credit score.

The Power Of Ignorance: When Stupidity Becomes A Global Strategy

By Maria Raquel

In a time where misinformation thrives and facts fade, nothing is more valuable to a politician than sounding stupid — as long as it’s intentional. Ignorance has become a tool, disinformation a policy, and crudeness a political currency. It’s no longer about being unprepared. It’s calculated. “Mistakes” have become strategy.

When The Label Speaks Louder Than The Cause

By Maria Raquel

Something feels off in today’s feminist discourse. On one side, there’s undeniable progress in the fight for women’s rights and equality. On the other, a moralistic, caricatured version of the movement often used as a shield for behavior that’s anything but emancipatory — and sometimes not even ethical. Feminism, at its core, is about equality and dismantling structural machismo. But like any powerful banner, it’s vulnerable to distortion and misuse.

What’s The Point Of Teaching?

By Maria Raquel

Amid memorized formulas, timed tests, and rigid curricula, one question keeps slipping through the classroom windows: what’s the point of teaching? The answer seems obvious — but it’s not.

Freud And The Cabaret Couch – With Extra Repression, Cigars, And Glitter

By Maria Raquel

Freud didn’t just interpret dreams — he *slept with them*. And let’s be honest, he probably woke up in a sweat. Because to talk that much about desire, repression, impulses, and every complex imaginable, your unconscious had to be hotter than a Viennese dance floor.

When The Sky Writes Us A Note

By Maria Raquel

When May arrives, all you need to do is look up to see that the universe has its own way of writing poetry — in the form of luminous streaks. The Eta Aquarids meteor shower, one of the most anticipated of the year, lights up the sky with fragments left by the famous Halley’s Comet. The phenomenon peaks between May 5 and 6, but it can be seen a few days before and after. And contrary to popular belief, no telescope is needed: just a dark place, clear skies, and a bit of patience.
