But as societies evolved, cities grew, borders expanded, and systems of governance replaced campfires, we moved toward broader identities: citizen, professional, global neighbor. The tribe, one might think, was left behind. Yet in today’s digital, divided world, we’re seeing a profound return to tribal thinking, what has been referred to as a "retribalization of identity", and it's shaping everything from politics to personal relationships to the very fabric of democracy!

On the surface, it was a show of force: a midnight strike, a presidential announcement, and the thunder of bunker-busting bombs over Iran. But as the smoke clears from Trump’s direct assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—what’s left behind is not just geopolitical fallout. It’s a further widening chasm in the foundation of global military restraint.

I’ve been thinking, lately, a lot about the role of fiction—specifically science fiction—in shaping how I see the world. Not just for entertainment, but for the doors it quietly opens in our minds. Watching "Star Trek: Discovery", I found myself less fixated on alien diplomacy or warp drives and more intrigued by something subtler: the sheer persistence of curiosity.

The rise of artificial intelligence has sparked global debate—about jobs, misinformation, and ethics. But there’s one challenge that’s often overlooked and yet quietly growing louder: AI runs on power. A lot of it. And all that power needs cooling. Often, a lot of water.

The promise of AI—more convenience, faster access to knowledge, and support in solving problems—is undeniably powerful. But with each task we offload to a machine, we must ask: Are we still engaging our own minds in the process?... Is our capacity and capability for critical thinking expanding or... contracting?

Rebuilding American Industry Takes More Than Tough Talk... US President Donald Trump returned to Pittsburgh — once the beating heart of American steel — promising to increase tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50%. The crowd cheered, "USA! USA!. The headlines flared.

Let’s be honest... When most people hear the word statistics, they think of long-forgotten math classes, blurry chalkboards, and professors who spoke in Greek — literally and figuratively. If you loved statistics in school, congratulations... You’re a unicorn! If you hated it, then you are in good company.

At RPM-Academy, we believe that success in the "future of work" no longer belongs to the busiest, but to the best coordinators of intelligence—human and artificial.

Input → Process → Output is a deceptively powerful model. It is a simple but effective way of depicting the chain of causality that describes, I think, all phenomena. Continuous improvement specialists rely on this model... our starting point for assessing the current state and informing the development of a future state, whether product or service. But what if we applied that same model to something even more profound: the development of human potential?

In 2022, more than 5 million people in Canada met the diagnostic criteria for a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder, with the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders increasing substantially over the previous 10 years.

From the moment we open our eyes to the world, curiosity pulls us forward. It’s not unique to humans — animals explore, prod, and investigate their environments.

Once upon a time, the British Cycling Team was the laughingstock of the competitive cycling world. One Olympic gold medal in nearly a century.

For years now, we've heard it repeated like gospel from political pulpits — "America has been treated unfairly."... This is a crisis born of greed, short-term thinking, and the commodification of human life in the name of cheap goods.

There’s something invigorating about a reset — not because what came before was wrong, but because what comes next could be even better.

...global tensions, deepening divisions, and rising anxiety, and leadership has never mattered more— and yet, never felt more fragile.

The world is changing—faster, louder, and with far more uncertainty than ever before...

Are We Truly Investing in Learning and Creating a Sustainable Learning Culture, or Just Building a Library?

I bet you've noticed that the adults around you are talking a lot about money, jobs, and something called "tariffs."

At critical moments in history, nations face the choice of evolution or stagnation. Canada stands at such a crossroads today.

As of today, the United States has implemented sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, triggering a seismic shift in global trade...
