The Hidden Engines of Change - Unseen Forces Human Limits and the Minds Behind the Movement

Clara E. Marlowe

Synopsis

What drives civilization forward? Is it technology, instinct, resilience—or something more elusive, buried deep in the human psyche? The Hidden Engines of Change explores three radically different but strikingly interconnected worlds: the race to develop superintelligent AI, the primal instincts that decide who survives in a disaster, and the overlooked brilliance of unconventional athletes who reshape what strength means.
 
In these pages, you’ll journey from the secretive corridors of artificial intelligence labs to the trembling ground of psychological survival, and onto hardwood courts where mass meets mastery. While the topics span science, psychology, and sport, they are united by one compelling thread: the unexpected forces—mental, cultural, biological, and technological—that shape our lives more than we realize.
 
Whether it’s a machine learning to think, a brain fighting to survive, or a body challenging what’s “fit,” this collection dares to confront assumptions and reframe the boundaries of human and post-human potential.
 
When the tipping point comes—technological, emotional, or physical—will we recognize the power that’s already been quietly transforming us all along?

Empath - Understanding The...

Chloe B Johnson

We are all born with a certain degree of empathy. For some people, this quality is extremely intense and difficult to manage, leading them to be labelled “highly sensitive” or “empaths.” These individuals are often misdiagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression because their emotional sensitivities are so pronounced. However, new research is emerging that suggests highly sensitive empaths can actually thrive in life if they learn how to manage their sensitivities properly. 
Highly sensitive people (HSP) are a unique breed. They make up only around 15-20 per cent of the population and are known for their heightened intuition, deep empathizing abilities, and propensity for introspection. This makes them incredibly insightful and caring individuals, but can also lead to a lot of stress and overwhelm.
