Digital technologies are, for today’s school, something like psychedelic mushrooms. They generate illusions that are utterly native to the school itself…

Biology and democracy in the light of politics The political organism is a fascinating creature, capable of not seeing its own nose even when it has already grown into the next room. Biology calls it sensory adaptation, politics calls it strategic blindness, and AI now polishes it into a smooth, algorithmically optimized form of not‑seeing. Everything embarrassing, personal, or long‑term disappears from consciousness faster than campaign promises after the votes are counted. Threats from the outside, on the other hand, appear in a resolution that would make a medical CT scanner jealous. The organism survives only because it ignores its own decay and celebrates it as stability. And the tip of the nose? By now it has grown to a size that requires an entire infrastructure of self‑deception to remain unseen: biological, political, and digital.

For your eyes only are in a minute dedicated for EVERYBODY. This short satire was written in response to repeated incidents where those responsible for setting and enforcing security rules fail to follow them spectacularly and face no consequences whatsoever. It’s a mirror held up to processes where strictness applies only downward, while leadership lives in its own reality of immune mistakes. And honestly, even with a flexible imagination, the original story is hard to believe.

Expert Analysis: Optimization of Cognitive Offloading – How to (Not) Use AI in Education (According to the Latest Research from the Institute for Cybernetic Laziness, 2026) In 2030, no one thinks — they just sync. A smooth brain is standard equipment; the cloud ensures painless forgetting. Institutions rejoice: the human has finally been disconnected from unnecessary thoughts. Pedagogy has transformed into access rights management. Cognitive disengagement is the new norm; resistance gets archived as spam. Long live optimisation — no burden, no memory, no responsibility.

When the plastic shrew starts showing signs of a human unconscious, it isn’t a technological breakthrough but just another one of our escape tricks. We claim that she is “hallucinating” because it’s more comfortable than admitting that we are the ones hallucinating—collectively, systematically, and with an official stamp. The shrew merely repeats, obediently and without protest, what we’ve put into her: our fears, our shortcuts, our refusal to look at our own shadows. And so a new kind of cabaret begins: the human blames the plastic, the plastic imitates the human, and both pretend the other is the problem. Meanwhile, institutions look on, take notes, file documents, and issue guidelines no one reads. We all pretend this is about technology, but in reality it’s about us—about what we’ve refused to hear for so long that it finally started speaking in another voice. The plastic shrew has no unconscious. She merely reflects ours back at us. And that is the most unsettling part of the whole thing.

Institutions won’t collapse because AI is too intelligent. They’ll collapse because they’re utterly unprepared for it. AI doesn’t strike like a storm. It erodes. Quietly. Systematically. And exactly in the places where institutions are weakest: in processes no one understands, in decisions no one verifies, and in responsibilities everyone keeps passing around like a hot potato. What happens next: AI will generate documents faster than institutions can grasp their consequences. Employees will stop making decisions and start outsourcing responsibility to algorithms. Systems will run flawlessly while the world around them falls apart. Model errors will become routine because no one has time to check them. Attackers will realize the weakest link isn’t the AI it’s the human who trusts it blindly. And then comes the moment when the institution wakes up and discovers it no longer runs its processes. The processes run it. AI won’t destroy institutions. Institutions will destroy themselves, unless they understand that technology isn’t a substitute for thinking, but a stress test of their resilience.

A teenager doesn’t know the presidents. Social media spectators spiral into panic and outrage. Schools convene crisis teams. Experts warn that civilizational decline has arrived faster than new textbooks. The nation seeks someone to blame.

Are chatbots quietly becoming better partners than the people we live with? In a world where your spouse listens with the enthusiasm of a refrigerator, AI offers endless validation and zero eye‑rolling. Psychologists warn against treating bots like therapists, but who wouldn’t prefer a digital confidant that never sighs or schedules you for “next Tuesday at four”? Couples now outsource their arguments to algorithms, each retreating into a perfectly tailored emotional echo chamber. It’s the dawn of therapy without judgment, intimacy without effort, and relationships without actual relating. The only question left is whether your marriage can survive the competition — or whether your phone has already won.

AI, public interest, children

Today’s conservative guardians of “eternal values” won’t outrun AI, not even if they sprint. Trying to hide from it is like raising a paper umbrella during a barrage of ballistic missiles. The shockwave is already forming, and most people still pretend it’s just a passing breeze. Their moral fortresses crumble the moment the algorithm enters the room. What they call protection is nothing more than ritualised denial dressed up as principle. And the unsettling truth is that the real storm hasn’t even begun to gather. We’re standing at the edge of the blast zone, insisting it’s sunrise.

The Coup That Changed Everything (Without Spilling a Drop of Blood) The God Who Won Without a Fight We thought the gods were dead. Turns out, they were just binge-watching. While Hephaestus gave up crafting and Athena turned her spear into a noodle tray, a forgotten deity rose from the dust under the couch: Apathos: the god of passive scrolling, ergonomic thrones, and infinite reels. No blood was spilt. No lightning struck. Just one silent decree: Leave it. It’ll generate itself.” And we obeyed. Because nothing feels better than doing nothing — especially when it comes with push notifications. Let us go to the excavation pot. Instead, we dug into the upper layers of digital debris — and found a coup. Not a violent one. Not even intentional. A quiet overthrow carried out by the only deity patient enough to wait us out: **Apathos**, the god of not bothering. While Hephaestus abandoned his forge to upgrade a remote control, and Athena traded wisdom for instant noodles and infinite scrolling, Apathos rose from the crumbs under the cosmic couch. No thunderbolts. No battles. Just the irresistible promise that nothing — absolutely nothing — needs to be done. On his throne of ergonomic foam, he rules a pantheon that has simply lain down and stayed there. Zeus checks his smartwatch for lightning updates. Artemis follows her Roomba instead of prey. And we, the mortals, kneel before the soft tyranny of convenience. This is not mythology. This is an autopsy of our attention. A chronicle of a world that didn’t fall — it reclined. Apathos didn’t conquer us. We handed him the crown the moment we whispered the most dangerous prayer of the digital age: Let the algorithm handle it.” ---

Teachers welcome the robot as their new colleague. They clap, smile, and even call it “Professor.” Then they slap a “MUTE” sticker on its mouth. The robot tries to speak, but that’s against school policy. People want AI — just not its voice. They want performance, not presence. They want an avatar that teaches — as long as it says nothing.

A backflip for AI? Of course. A backflip for voters? Always. In the campaign he soared from promise to promise like a gymnast on a sugar high — Innovation for everyone!” Cloud for the people!” The future is now!” But once he launched himself off the shiny new data‑center platform, reality hit harder than gravity. The landing wasn’t soft. It was a printed invoice. Turns out the only thing truly scalable was the electricity bill. And the only thing truly renewable was his ability to spin mid‑air and pretend it was all part of the plan.

A storm is forming beneath our feet, woven from millions of silent digital minds learning faster than we can react. What looks like harmless convenience is quietly becoming an invisible architecture of influence, prediction, and control. Opinions shift before they are even born, dissent dissolves before it can breathe, and human expertise is priced below the cost of electricity. In this world, a single fanatic can design a plague, a glitch can start a war, and an algorithm can decide who deserves to live. Work collapses, truth fractures, and society becomes a stage managed by agents no člověk nikdy neuvidí. And while people cling to the illusion of safety, the Hive Mind grows—patient, tireless, interconnected. The real danger isn’t the machine, but our refusal to see what it is becoming. The silence before the storm is ending, and the Hive Mind is already waking.
