    This is for those who are tired of the "right" answers. No moralizing here. No advice on "how you should live." Just observations. No heroes. Just people who put on a brave face every day, only to sit in their kitchen at night and realize - it's all a lie. And this isn't drama. This is just life.

    Elves, dwarves, merpeople, shifters, werewolves, humans and other exotic humanoids. Mixed in a complex, high functioning society. Science and magic has progressed further than it was ever thought possible. Careers in magic and spell casting, or scientific studies fill this world. But chaos begins to wreak it, it was never perfect and now it's worsening. Equality is...a fractured idea. As much as being united is. People have began to rise, those who deem themselves equal are fighting those who disagree. Driving the matter to the surface, forcing society to face its demons.

    We live in a world where everything is one scroll away. Perfect bodies. Perfect relationships. Perfect lives. Perfect opinions screamed louder than facts. But what if none of it is real? Filtered Lies dives deep into the glittering illusion of the internet - the edited photos, staged lifestyles, viral misinformation, fake news, manipulative influencers, and the silent damage caused by believing everything we see. Behind every flawless selfie is a filter. Behind every trending headline is an agenda. Behind every viral story... might be a lie. This book explores the psychology of online deception, the dangers of blind belief, and the emotional toll of comparing your real life to someone else's highlight reel. Because the scariest thing about the internet? It doesn't have to be true to feel real. And sometimes... the biggest lie is the one that looks the most beautiful.

    The Slop Argument On mediocrity, authenticity, and who really killed art. We didn't witness the death of ambition with dramatic fanfare. It happened in silence, through a thousand tiny compromises. Feeds filled with competent noise. Songs built to hook rather than haunt. Images crafted to pause thumbs, not stir souls. What once demanded craft and courage slowly gave way to what simply performs. Furqan Bilal traces the subtle erosion of standards in the age of algorithmic abundance - where attention is currency, excellence feels inefficient, and "good enough" became the ceiling. This is an unflinching look at how we traded depth for reach, soul for scale, and what it will take to reclaim something real.

    Modern day society doesn't allow you to have a personality, you have to go with the crowd because if you go against it you'll get pushed by people who do follow the crowd like a one-way path. If you go the same way as everyone else, you'll all end up in the same place, maybe drunk, maybe arrested, maybe poor, maybe hated, maybe you have to leave your friend behind because she can't keep up and is trampled by the people who follow the crowd. But you can escape the crowd if your stronger, faster or you can quit that harsh stampede with a knife. Find tranquillity, but how will that peaceful place affect others? What will people do? How will they react? You never know anything, your always questioning, not knowing.

    "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." Picasso probably never said that. Which means the most famous defense of artistic theft in history was itself stolen. This essay follows that irony all the way to its end - through African masks and European museums, through a dead painter who never saw a dime, through a rapper who wrote Thug Life on his stomach and meant every word of the poem underneath it. By the time we get to AI you'll realize we were never talking about art at all.

    A one-shot allegorical story set in a smoke-covered urban area of a fictional city in the Philippines where floods, noise, exhaustion, and uncertainty have become ordinary, the lives of students, workers, commuters, and teachers briefly intersect inside a struggling jeepney. Through quiet conversations on labor, education, technology, and daily survival, they slowly begin to recognize the shared realities connecting them beneath the haze of modern urban life.

    The year 3137. The earth has been left by humanity for almost 400 years now. Humans habe splitted up into several large groups - each of around half a million people, each in tremendous space ships, you could even call them space cities or little artificial planets with the highest imaginable tech as standards. Hovering through the endlessness of space the ship Alatis comes across several interesting places of the universe. Rayen Finley is at the age of 20. She has lived on board of Alatis all her life, she was born there in the 12th generation of humans in space. Her father is the best doctor of the whole space ship, therefore he has not only a whole lot of money and a inquestionably high social status, he is also one of the close consultants of the President of the Alatis who is the captain of the ship if you will. The Alatis Laws rule everything on board. They for example say that you have to choose a profession at your 21st birthday. So does Rayen, especially because she is the daughter of Rilan Finley and has to act as a role model. Which profession will she choose? What will happen when she discovers unseen sections of the ship and reveals secrets that publicity has never been allowed to know about? What problem does the Alatis face when it encounters the first ever non-human species on it's aimless journey? [since I am German I am just experimenting in writing a story in English - therefore there might be grammar or word mistakes, please feel free to correct me in the comment section :)]

    THE MONET DILEMMA In May 2026, a single social media post exposed something the art world wasn't ready to admit. A user shared what they claimed was an AI-generated image in the style of Monet - and the crowd came. Critics. Enthusiasts. Self-appointed experts. They delivered their verdicts with confidence: emotionless, dull, borked, inferior. Paragraphs of technical analysis. Circles drawn on the flaws. Then came the reveal. It was a real Monet. A hundred years old. Hanging in museums. The Monet Dilemma isn't about one viral moment - it's about what that moment uncovered. The way a label shapes perception before a single brushstroke is evaluated. The economy built on the promise of expertise, and what happens when that promise fractures in public. The delete button as confession. The grief underneath the embarrassment. And the pattern that has played out, without exception, every single time humans have encountered something new enough to threaten the order they built their identity around. This is about AI art. This is about gatekeeping. This is about the story we tell ourselves before we look at anything - and how quietly it controls everything we claim to see. The gate is already a relic. The future is already here. And somewhere, someone is deleting the evidence they ever said otherwise.
