unfinished nature.....

Weeds are destroying brickworks

Ants have more chance of survival 

Than humans trying to improve 

Unsatisfied with their unfinished nature

In times of enduring friendship

The dead come back to honour his passing

I was so tired I could not sleep 

My scooter’s battery was empty 

The machine would not start at the gate

On my way to give treasures and junk 

Night fell 

It was too late to ride 

Alice explained her life at the moment 

I did not understand a word of her wisdom

I could not speak to justify my own existence 

My dead brother mentioned digital platforms 

I never heard of with wild horses names

His house where the gathering took place

Had been plastered to accomodate more bedrooms

The staircase now narrow decorated with fake vines 

A woman wanted me as if I was a free man

The internet buzzing with a gillion new passwords 

Multiple banking system exchanged money 

Becoming the greetings for the living

We were safe

All the friends were here

It had been and still is a dream

Juliet I knew her since she was a kid

Her failed marriage had been an ordeal

She wanted to kiss me as if I was her father

Or her new lover

A time of sorrowed joy

I was too tall

The last tree of the forest had fallen

critical mind.....

In this video, we explore why critical thinking is dying and how collective stupidity is rising in today’s world. Starting from the roots of philosophy with Socrates, Plato, and Kant, the script traces how critical thought once shaped science, democracy, and progress.

Yet in our time, it is collapsing under the weight of information overload, echo chambers, and sensationalist media. We examine how Google, social media algorithms, and nonstop headlines are reshaping minds—making us reactive, tribal, and intellectually lazy. But the decline is not inevitable.

By practicing curiosity, slowing down, questioning assumptions, escaping echo chambers, and reforming how we learn and lead, we can revive the lost art of reasoning. This is a wake-up call for a distracted generation: to think for yourself, seek truth beyond noise, and resist the comfort of blind opinion.

Because without critical thinking, the cost is not just ignorance—it is the rise of collective stupidity.
