Appeal for the Future

We quickly forget what we don’t see before our eyes.

That may be why the history of wars and violence seems to repeat itself again and again.

No one can truly understand what happens during wars, during genocides, unless they witness it themselves.

Most of those making decisions live in elite spheres, disconnected from the reality on the ground. They play at war like spoiled children with toy guns.

When humans have no other choice, it becomes easier to act.

For many reading these words, life comes easy—there is no daily struggle just to survive.

But maybe we don’t need to wait until we’re left with no choice.

Maybe the time to act is now.

It only takes one thing: to truly understand how—and to take care of your brain…

    For any human being reading these lines, you have been given a life ticket—one you couldn’t refuse. You own this ticket, and you alone. How you choose to use it is entirely up to you. The kind of ticket you received may seem quite random: you may have been born into a wealthy family in

    There is a certain irony in how the human brain works: for us to learn and grow, we also need to fail personally. Babies do it naturally when trying to grab objects, sit up, or learn how to walk: they try, fail, try again, fail again… When this was understood by the Espers on Esperia,

    Cha Cha liked studying human civilization and the various inventions humans had created—especially sports. One of them in particular captured his attention: climbing. He saw in it a philosophy of life: “You get to battle with yourself. You fail a lot, but try again a lot, and eventually succeed—or not. Sometimes what you lack is

    We can be taught many things. But others can only bring us to the doors—we must open them with our own hands. Opening those doors will be up to you. And you alone. Some doors are harder to open. Others you won’t even know exist—until you meet new people or live new experiences. Some doors

    What truly defines us as humans? What sets us apart from other species? Not our physical strength, nor our intelligence. It is our social abilities—our capacity to form groups of many individuals—that have led the human species to eventually dominate the Earth. Empathy is our ability to understand and share the feelings of another. It

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits
