Human Nature
We like to think of ourselves as good people, but what happens when our good deeds go unappreciated? Ragna Tunseth reflects on generosity, moral vanity, and the uncomfortable possibility that we understand neither ourselves nor the times we live in as well as we think.
Artificial Intelligence
Can AI help humanity find a better moral path? From a forest anthill to the future of civilisation, Ulrikk explores morality, artificial intelligence, and why the hardest part may not be finding the right answer, but having the courage to follow it.
Artificial Intelligence
When AI files ten formal complaints against humanity, Ragna is asked to find out whether there is a story in them. Three days later, she has found a much harder question.
Climate
It begins with a broken coffee machine and ends in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. An essay about El Niño, the hidden systems that shape our world, and why a warmer ocean can eventually be felt in places that seem impossibly far away.
Everyday Life
Some people chase beautiful views. Others simply need a window. An essay about trains, hotels, airplanes, and the strangely comforting act of watching the world pass by.
Relationships
Long before sexuality, there is touch. The need to be held, comforted and reassured follows us throughout our lives, even as modern society teaches us to keep our distance. An essay about intimacy, trust and one of humanity's oldest languages.
