BORN IN RUSSIA

Being born here or there, into a rich or poor family, is so incredibly random that sometimes we forget just how much life resembles a roll of the dice—one we don't even get to throw ourselves. Think about it: coming into this world is literally the universe’s biggest lottery, and it's absurd how something we have absolutely zero control over defines us from day one.

Some people land straight into mansions with swimming pools, surrounded by privileges they never even asked for. Others are born between bare walls and leaking roofs, facing limited chances from the moment they open their eyes. And here's the kicker: no one earned the conditions they're born into. There’s no merit, no initial effort—just pure chance.

Whether we're born lucky or unlucky massively shapes our paths: education, health, opportunities, even our dreams and aspirations. Sure, there are those who preach that "where there’s a will, there’s a way," but reality is much harsher. Our randomly assigned starting point can either turbocharge our lives or slam on the brakes right from the start.

EARTHQUAKE IN MYANMAR

A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, causing severe damage in the country and also affecting neighboring Thailand.

• In Myanmar, the death toll has surpassed 1,700, with thousands injured or missing. The hardest-hit area is Mandalay, where key infrastructure has been heavily damaged.
• In Thailand, the quake caused a construction site collapse in Bangkok, leaving at least 17 dead, 33 injured, and over 80 missing.
• The international community responded quickly: the WHO sent tons of medical supplies, while countries like China, India, and the EU provided aid and rescue teams.
• Search and rescue efforts are still ongoing, but access to affected areas remains difficult.

A devastating tragedy that has triggered a major humanitarian crisis, especially in an already fragile Myanmar.

ARMORED QUAD

If weapons didn’t exist, this wouldn’t be necessary. But since they do, we have to build something that can withstand them. And so we keep going—always one step ahead, or maybe just one step back.
It begs the question: are we really progressing, or just caught in an endless cycle of attack and defense?
