What is really going on out there? What sources can you trust? World events can shape your future, so it makes sense to stay informed. If you look a bit deeper, if you watch various sources with different perspectives, if you look at what is being said by different sources of news, you may be surprised at differences in reporting of facts on the same story. Where to do the facts differ, and why? Over time, you may begin to get a picture of the “slant” that various news sources have, which can be quite eye opening.

New tools are appearing daily thanks to the public dawning of the Artificial Intelligence age. As AI for the public is not yet connected to realtime large databases and the live Internet at this time (it will be, all too soon) you may currently find some of these tools such as alternative search engines (but are they?) useful. The Web has long been the best source to learn about itself. At this time AI can write code, but not very well. This will change soon and as the AI revolution takes hold web sites may start to vanish. Sites/links on Newsi8.com with strikethrough text may already be gone.

Note that social media, while free, extracts a payment by monitizing your loss of privacy. All you say and do online is “owned” by tech giants providing your free social media service. This is not the way it was probably intended to be, but we ended up with a relative few world-popular social media platorms, most people think of fewer than ten.

What good are we to us? Seen dispassionately from a distance, we are a collection of billions of hairless apes, an organized society of self-aware mobile flexible containers of mostly water, and yet as well, we are things more ineffable, beautiful and powerful: beings that manufacture meaning.
