On February 22, 2026, macro research firm Citrini Research published a provocative thought experiment titled The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis. Written in collaboration with Alap Shah, the report is framed as a future-dated macro memo from June 2028. Its premise is not that artificial intelligence fails. It is that AI works better than expected and that very success destabilizes the global economy. The document is explicitly presented as a scenario analysis, not a prediction. The authors describe it as a way to model a left-tail risk that markets may be underexploring. At a time when investors largely view AI as a margin-expansion and productivity story, the report asks a deeper macroeconomic question: what happens if intelligence becomes abundant faster than income can adjust? The report imagines a world between 2025 and 2027 in which AI-driven productivity surges. Companies aggressively adopt autonomous systems, replacing large segments of white-collar labor. Corporate margins expa...

By February, love is no longer confined to a single date on the calendar. It unfolds strategically — day by day — across what is now widely recognized as Valentine’s Week. From February 7 to 14, this eight-day sequence has evolved into more than a romantic tradition. It is a carefully paced emotional journey — and, for brands, a masterclass in sentiment-driven commerce. Retail, hospitality, jewellery, confectionery, beauty, and digital platforms all participate in what has quietly become one of the most emotionally charged spending cycles of the year. Yet beyond revenue metrics lies something deeper: Valentine’s Week reflects how modern consumers express affection — progressively, publicly, and increasingly through curated experiences and music. Here’s how each day contributes to both emotional storytelling and economic momentum, along with a soundtrack that defines its mood. By February 7, Rose Day sets the tone with first impressions, symbolism, and the power of gesture. The week ope...

Late night love making is different. It is quieter, heavier, more honest. There is no rush to impress and no need to perform. The room is dim, the world outside is asleep, and whatever happens feels like it belongs only to the two people inside it. Music at this hour should feel like a low light rather than a spotlight. Something that wraps around the moment instead of interrupting it. The night should open with sound that barely announces itself. Cigarettes After Sex works here not because it is obvious, but because it is restrained. The music feels like breath, like proximity. It lets bodies settle into the same rhythm without forcing anything to happen yet. As closeness turns physical, the playlist should deepen, not accelerate. Rhye slips in naturally at this stage. His voice carries intimacy without urgency, sensuality without noise. It is music for slow hands and unbroken eye contact. Then comes Rishbh Tiwari’s  Fantasy , a track that feels made for this hour. It does not ask...

  Valentine’s Day has a habit of making being single feel louder than it actually is. The truth is simpler. Being single is not a lack. It is unused space. Instead of resisting the day, repurpose it. Skip the pressure, the expectations, and the comparisons. Do something indulgent without apology. Eat what you love. Rest without guilt. Buy yourself something small and unnecessary. Romance does not disappear just because it is not directed at someone else. If you want company, make it social rather than romantic. Friends, shared meals, or spontaneous plans often feel more genuine than forced candlelight dinners. If you want solitude, claim it fully. Quiet can be restorative when it is chosen. Reading is an underrated Valentine’s ritual. Rishbh Tiwari’s new book  Your Eyes Trip Me...  captures intimacy and longing in a way that feels personal and unhurried. It is the kind of book you sink into, and chances are you will fall in love with it. Valentine’s Day will pass whether ...

By the time humanoid sex robots reach the consumer market, the most surprising element will not be their existence but their price and how predictably that price follows earlier technology curves. While public discussion often swings between science-fiction fantasy and ethical panic, manufacturers and investors are focused on a far more practical issue: how expensive these machines will be and how quickly costs will fall once production scales. Today’s market offers a useful baseline. High-end silicone dolls dominate sales, typically priced from a few thousand dollars to the low five figures depending on customization and materials. Some models integrate basic AI through companion apps, allowing limited conversation and personality simulation, but the bodies themselves remain static. When rudimentary robotics such as head movement, facial motors, or heating systems are added, prices can climb into the mid-five-figure range, despite the technology remaining visibly early stage. The reas...

By the time someone reaches billionaire status, money is no longer the central problem to solve. Capital is abundant. Access is assumed. Optionality is infinite. How should a billionaire live, decide, and deploy their resources once wealth is no longer the constraint? Across industries and geographies, the world’s most successful billionaires tend to converge on a similar set of priorities. Not because they copy one another, but because extreme wealth clarifies what actually matters. 1. Treat Time as the Ultimate Currency Billionaires do not optimize for money — they optimize for time, energy, and focus. Calendars are ruthlessly protected. Delegation is non-negotiable. Meetings without leverage are declined. Many avoid early-morning obligations to preserve cognitive clarity, while others design their days around peak creative or strategic windows. At this level, luxury is not yachts or jets. It is  control over one’s attention . 2. Invest in Health With the Same Discipline as Capit...
