🚨 Look around you. Democracy isn’t dying in some distant place—it’s being dismantled right where you stand. The world you wake up to, the choices you make, the news you consume—everything is shaped by forces you can’t see. But those forces? They’re shifting. And the democracy you thought you were living in? It may already be gone. 🚨 We still vote. Elections still happen. Leaders change. So why does it […]
The future isn’t being built for you. It’s being claimed.
AI. Automation. Billionaire-funded space dreams. Governments too slow to keep up. What happens when progress isn’t for everyone—but only for those who can afford it? When power consolidates so tightly that the rest of us are left watching from the sidelines?
This Northern Dragon Podcast episode is more than a debate—it’s a warning. Listen now. Because if we don’t ask the hard questions, someone else will decide the answers.
The future was once a promise—of progress, of discovery, of unrelenting motion forward. But promises are fragile things. Civilization has always imagined itself climbing an eternal staircase, each step an innovation, each breakthrough a confirmation of its own destiny. Yet, step back, and the picture shifts: civilizations rise, civilizations fall, and progress… slows.
I am The Northern Dragon. I have watched the ages turn like the pages of an endless tome. I have seen empires rise from fire and fall to dust. The tide of reason once swept across the world, washing away ignorance and fear. But now, I watch as the currents shift once more, and the light dims. What once seemed unshakable trembles. The voices of wisdom grow hoarse, drowned beneath the roar of division and certainty.
Somewhere around there are people whom are so lucky that they have the opportunity to take a vaccine against Covid-19 (from Pfizer), but for some reasons doesn’t want to because they are scared of what the vaccine may do to them. Well, if someone wants to take the vaccine because they expect to grow an extra limp, then they will get disappointed, because it won’t happen. Just because the vaccine […]
When Putin the 11th of August declared that Russia was the first country in the world to grant regulatory approval of a Covid-19 vaccine, many appeared worried about the safety of the vaccine and that the development of a Covid-19 vaccine was not a race with a single winner or finish line. However, what has the Russians to lose? The Russians are heavily burdened by Covid-19 and thousands will die […]
The greatest risc for spreading the disease is by people not aware of the fact that they have Covid-19. Since young people appear to be less effected by Covid-19, it is to be expected that especially young people will not have any symptoms. And it is also young people who often likes to be socially active, go parties and in generally enjoy interacting with other people at bars, fitness centers, […]
Some countries seem to have adopted the strategy that we simply should wait until so many people has got immunity that the virus will stop spreading by itself. There have even been thoughts about testing people to see if they have got antibodies against the virus, so those people should not worry about being infected by the virus again. There are two issues with those sort of strategies. One is, […]
There are some which again and again talks the benefits of getting herd immunity against Covid-19. It is often postulated as the situation when about 60% of the population has been infected (and survived) and thereby have gained an immunity against Covid-19. There is just one problem with this idea: it probably won’t work. The issue is that the mutation rate of Covid-19 appears to be too high to make […]
If you should get ill, there are two options. You will either be cured and survive, or you will die. When the disease is over and everybody is either cured or dead, we can talk about an absolute mortality, defined as (no. of dead) / (no. of dead+ no. of recovered). However, during an epidemic it is not always easy to figure out what the absolute mortality will be. Calculating […]
