52 Years in the Making: 5 Lessons I Learned from My "Successful" Friends
I am a so-called “creative” person—always have been and probably always will be. Unfortunately, I’ve battled with that realization for years. You see, the world taught me that success came from following a traditional path, and I tried to buy in. I’ve struggled and fallen behind (professionally). My challenge between finding a home in the world I feel I belong in, and the one that society wants me to live in has been a long-standing heavy ball and chain. It’s kept me from experiencing life the same way people around me do.

The Cost of Global Hegemony: An Analytical Study of Human Costs Since 1492. AI-Generated.
The story began in 1499 when an Italian explorer set foot on the continent that we now call America. This so-called discovery proved to be a great human tragedy for the original inhabitants, as the ruthlessness with which indigenous civilizations were wiped out in the struggle for resources is a sad chapter in history. The foundation of the American continent was laid on the desecration of innocent people who were targeted simply because they were an obstacle to the economic goals of the colonial powers. During various periods of European colonialism, millions of indigenous people living there were eliminated through forced evictions and systematic operations in order to lay the foundation for a new state. When independence was declared in 1776, its benefits were limited to a select few, while for the indigenous population and the millions of people who were forcibly brought in, these chains became even tighter. The policies adopted by the American state to expand its borders wiped out every nation and civilization in its path. From the beginning of the twentieth century, this state began to go beyond its borders and intervene from the Philippines to Cuba, the sole purpose of which was to protect its economic interests. At the end of World War II, when the world was looking for peace, the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki proved that any human limit can be crossed in the pursuit of power. This was the turning point from which this state established its role on the global stage, which plunged the world into the fire of constant conflict. In the name of the Cold War, the entire world was divided and dozens of countries were turned into laboratories. More than three million human lives were lost in the Korean War, while the operations that continued for fifteen years in Vietnam not only targeted humans but also devastated the land there with toxic chemicals. Behind all these measures lies the interest of the arms manufacturing industries, which can only thrive in the event of confrontation. This is why, in the last eight decades, there has hardly been a year when this state has not been directly or indirectly engaging in some kind of adventure in some region. These attacks have always been presented in the attractive words of “democracy and freedom” to appease the global conscience, but now it is time to bring the facts to the world that this system itself has become the biggest challenge to world peace.

The Hidden Cognitive Load Users Carry in Complex Digital Products
People don’t love when the interface is not user-friendly, is overloaded with information, or is clunky; instead, they will leave. If they have to put in effort into navigation, it’s a sign of high cognitive load.
