  Broken into beautiful. A story of friendship and healing. After breaking a neighbor’s window, a young child discovers friendship, transformation, and new beginnings in an unlikely story of peace. Gentle and moving, this poetic tale offers readers a hopeful path in the face of gun violence and despair, showing kids how peacemaking can turn conflict into friendship and new beginnings—and forge guns into garden tools. Children grow up with lockdowns and gun violence as part of their reality. As parents, caregivers, and educators, how should we respond? Sparking Peace provides a springboard for those seeking to discuss gun violence and trauma with children in a safe way that highlights help rather than harm. This picture book helps children learn about conflict while also carefully addressing gun violence and peacemaking. It includes resources that equip parents and educators to talk about gun violence and trauma, using a story of a broken window to show kids how conflict can be transformed through acts of peace. Suggested reading for ages 5–9.

  The piece explores the idea that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – computers as smart or smarter than humans in almost everything – might be developed very soon (perhaps within 5 years, according to the original article). It discusses the huge changes this could bring, looking at big questions like:What will people do if computers can perform most jobs? (Impact on work and purpose)What makes humans special or valuable if machines are more capable? (Human identity and value)How might our society change in terms of sharing resources and living together? (Social structures, economy)What are the ethical considerations in dealing with superintelligent AI?How can humans and AGI coexist meaningfully, perhaps even as partners? 
  Essentially, it's a look at the profound philosophical, social, and personal challenges and opportunities humanity faces as we approach the era of potentially superintelligent machines, urging thoughtful consideration to navigate this transformation wisely.
