Dictating and Firing: Palestinian Islamic Jihad waited for the end of Biden's visit to Israel, and a few hours after he left here and flew to Saudi Arabia, they fired four rockets in the direction of Ashkelon and the Lachish region. In response, the IDF bombed Gaza. It seems that they are trying and succeeding in imposing an agenda on us. How do we get out of this loop? • One Language: Mark Zuckerberg introduced a new model that is based on artificial intelligence, and allows you to translate about 200 different languages of the highest quality, including rare languages. The technology will enable fast communication between most people in the world. • Charitable Giving and Reward: Why doesn’t it always work? A story ran on Twitter under the headline: "A beautiful story about charitable giving and hire": A few years ago, neighbors of my family gave their apartment on Friday and Saturday to an elderly man who was staying with his brother in the area, and had nowhere to sleep. During a Sabbath he was in the stairwell, because of the darkness the old man fell down the stairs, and died. Now his son is suing the neighbors for negligence.” • Stressed and Happy: How can it be explained that Israel is simultaneously one of the most stressful places on the planet, and also ranks high in the global happiness index? • A Threat App: Why do we make everything bad? Recently, an application called NGL has become popular in Israel. Intended for teenagers, it lets them express opinions anonymously on one of the social networks. According to the developing company, this involves transmitting and receiving "messages, advice, opinions, questions and compliments." But in practice many teens report receiving threats, cursing, blatant sexual descriptions, and abusive treatment. • Theft in Order to Eat: With rising costs of living, people in financial distress are stealing basic products from food chains and other stores. A security guard at a branch of a food chain asked a young mother to open her bag and discovered a milk substitute for babies inside. The mother began to cry and asked him to take pity on her. She said she has no money and has a baby at home. • A Letter from a Follower: I have been married for 20 years and have 3 lovely children. My husband and I have had a good married life all these years, but in recent months his attitude toward me has changed greatly and a month ago he just got up and left home without explaining why and I feel like my whole world is ruined. And I want to ask you how does a man do such a thing? To leave me and his children like that? We have three children… What can I do to get him home?

The cost of living in Israel is rising. Things haven’t been this way for a long time. Essential products will become more expensive, even by 36%. You know, basic bread is going to be 36% more expensive, dairy products, eggs, water, etc. My question is, it’s not supposed to be that way, these are basic products, the government needs to put it in all of its money, do what it can in order not to raise prices on these basic products. • Biden and Lapid signed an agreement on some scientific operation, medical cooperation, etc. but the main things are that both countries will not allow a nuclear Iran. That they will fight together against any attempts to boycott Israel and attempts to deprive Israel the right for self-defense. How valuable are such declarations? In what case will a declaration work? • Nature Versus Nature Nature is harmonious, we studied this at school, we see how everything is connected, the food chains, there is this science based on bionics, that I look at everything and I copy what I see in Nature. Suppose a helicopter, I don't know, say they saw a dragon-fly, birds, planes, bugs, cars. Why, one way or another, it comes down to planes turn into fighter jets, cars turn into tanks, and all of our scientific achievements are headed towards that? We take something positive from Nature, we build what we build and one way or another it is taken by corrupted people and turn it into weapons of mass destruction. • How to relate to the two-state solution? Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, The Netherlands, Denmark, France, Germany and Italy, issued a joint statement resuming cooperation with the six organizations which were declared terrorist organizations by the Israeli Defense Minister. They say that it was not proven that they support terror and they democratically announced we want to quickly implement the two-state solution for both nations. How to relate to the two-state solution? • Scientists from Harvard have developed an AI that finds the shortest path to human happiness: They use a combination of neural networks in the brain, the results of psychological tests that the clients pass and AI predicts the well-being of a person in ten years and what will happen in old age and it gives recommendations on how to live in order to be happy. Do you believe that it's possible?

Collaboration Between Bacteria: A new Israeli study has revealed that bacteria can cooperate against a predator who is preparing to swallow them, and kill him with a joint effort. • President Biden's Visit: It's no secret that we are very dependent on America. Every time the President of the United States visits Israel there is a feeling of a holiday. As if the rich uncle from America had arrived and we are all waiting to see what gifts he brought with him. But lately there is a feeling that the rich uncle has weakened a bit. • After a 3-year break, the world's largest particle accelerator in Switzerland is returning to activity at a higher intensity. The researchers hope that the reactivation and upgrade will allow for new discoveries in science, and explain the processes that took place in the formation of the universe. • Loss of Inner Faith: Saleh al-Aruri, one of the leaders of Hamas, said that Hamas was confident that the occupation would leave Palestine, and that all the institutions built by the Jewish people everywhere would collapse. He added that Israel's biggest weakness is the loss of internal faith in its ability to continue to survive. • Why You Should Suffer: Paul Bloom, an American professor of psychology, says that if you want to live a meaningful life, you have to choose a life that has suffering, to some degree. He argues that if we were living an "ideal life", we would be bored and lose meaning in a short time. It is precisely from experiences of failure, of difficulty and of suffering that we can appreciate success and experience moments of satisfaction and joy. • China on the moon The head of NASA says: "We should be very concerned that China will land on the moon and say 'this is ours and you will have to get away from here'." In his estimation, it is possible that by 2035, China will complete the establishment of a permanent base on the moon, and then declare it a Chinese sovereign territory. • Without Hope: In a large ceremony at the University of Haifa, Arab students continued to sit while the anthem was sung. Maybe we should change the anthem, or at least some lyrics?

Iran is holding everyone under constant threat, what are we supposed to do? The Iranian foreign ministry warned that it will not allow Israel’s defense alliance with the Arab countries. Indeed, today Israel, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, are creating a regional air defense system to protect against Iranian missiles. Iran says, things are only going to get worse for all of you. We are increasing the rate of uranium enrichment. In short, Iran is holding everyone byt that one place all the time, black mailing everyone, and what interests me mainly is us, what are we supposed to do? • In Israel, a lot of police officers resigned. Being a police officer used to be respectable, today, no more. They are given more and more tasks, responsibilities and the salary is very, very low, lower than average. A novice officer gets something like 6,700 shekels. They are increasingly accused of abusive authority and even put on trial when a border police fighter who neutralizes a terrorist is forced to testify as a suspect, of course he thinks its better to find another job. That is, the police do not feel support from the state. So what should our actions be in relation to those that protect us? • The consequences of a nuclear war are already being realistically considered. They calmly draw as a result of a nuclear detonation, silted smoke will be emitted into the upper atmosphere, this will prevent the suns rays from reaching the earth in the first month, after which the earths temperatures will drop by 13 degrees. In the first hours of the war about 100 million will die, a sharp drop in temperatures will destroy the agricultural economy, approximately 1 -2 billion people will starve to death. Ocean temperatures will plummet, algae will die. In short, people live their life, travel, think about the future calmly, does it bother anyone? Even though it is becoming very realistic, what can you do? How to continue existence? • Scientists from King's College in London and New York University have proposed changing the rules of chess. Give black pieces 2 moves in a row after the start of the game, everyone knows that the white has a small potentially decisive advantage by making the first move. The rule that white starts dates back to the 19th century, and they say its time to rewrite this rule and make Chess more fair.

If Israel were on the verge of a serious threat: IDF exercises which included dozens of ships and helicopters were held in Cyprus for the first time in history. The scenario exercised was a war on 3 fronts, the most difficult front was a war with Hezbollah. They have 45,000 short range missiles, up to 40 kilometers, about 80,000 medium range and longer range which are more accurate. This means that 1500 missiles can hit Israel every day. Of course, this will include ground battles etc. The question is, how to prepare the Israeli population for the possible destruction and casualties on the one hand, and to talk about it on the other hand and not to spread panic, how do you do it? • In Israel an epidemic of violence in hospitals, the statistics are amazing, doctors, nurses, security guards in hospitals are beaten. For asking to leave her office, a doctor was hit on the head with an iron pole, for not rescheduling tests, for not providing satisfactory service, not to mention, insults. According to a survey, 48 of hospital employees were subjected to insults, at least three times a month, etc. etc. they want more police in hospitals. • How to create beneficial sportsmanship. I watched a curious situation at a sport event that took place in Yakutya, an athlete could not complete a 10-kilometer run on his own, he became ill because of the heat, so his mother came to his help and she helped him reach the finish line. But outside help is prohibited in competitions and the athlete was disqualified. I thought, this is what we should advertise, an athlete helps another athlete, a mom helps, what do you think if this is what we turn our competitions into? • We talk a lot about the iniquities of human nature, but there is a lot of beauty in people too. I read about a couple from Brazil, a husband and wife, Lillian and Sebastian, they planted 2 million trees in 18 years. They brought back 172 bird species, 33 mammal species, 15 amphibians, 15 reptiles, and 293 plant species. They rebuilt the entire ecosystem of the area, they said that they themselves were drying up on the inside and suddenly, nature, they took it upon themselves to restore it, they felt that they were reborn as a result. • Money, happiness and the meaning of life, what’s the connection between them? Stanford Professor Jennifer Hawker proved that the meaning of life brings happiness more than money but not for everyone. A sense of meaning in life is almost equal to happiness to people with low income, people with big money believe to a lesser extent that happiness is associated with the meaning of life. That is, if money buys a person, it extinguishes the search for the meaning of life. Yah, it quenches them, stuffs a person, clogs them. • A doctor in India pledged to pay scammers $200,000 for Aladinn’s lamp, meaning he was convinced that a genie, this is a person with a high education, he is a doctor. The scammers arguments were convincing, he gave them $41,000 in deposit for the lamp, a few more people were scammed the same way, they wanted to meet the genie. My question is, what are people thinking about, how can people believe such nonsense, and put money on it, how?
