10 Invisible Standards That Make the Modern World Work
Modern life feels seamless. You buy a phone charger, and it fits. You send a letter, and it gets delivered.

10 Evil Religions in Fiction
Religion is a source of comfort and conscience. As people look to their respective gods for guidance, their conclusions inform their values, drive their actions, and give meaning to events. However, that pattern isn’t always a good thing, as some religious practices aren’t so righteous. An ignoble doctrine could be a cheap excuse to set […]

10 Medical Conditions Named After Mythical Creatures
In medicine, naming conventions often reflect anatomy, symptoms, or the scientists who discovered a condition. But in rare, memorable cases, doctors turn to mythology—borrowing names from ancient beasts, demons, and creatures of legend to describe bizarre syndromes, rare deformities, or unsettling behaviors. These labels don’t just make for vivid shorthand—they hint at how surreal, mysterious, […]

10 Things Humans Are Weirdly Bad at Predicting
Humans like to think of themselves as rational, forward-looking creatures. But when it comes to forecasting the future—even our own—we’re often laughably wrong. From personal choices to global crises, our brains are wired with cognitive shortcuts and emotional biases that lead us to consistently underestimate, overestimate, or misjudge reality. Sometimes, the error is small. Other […]
