We often think of the “singularity” in technological terms — the moment when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence. Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Nearer" brings a fresh perspective where he assesses his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029. But the reality unfolding today feels less like a single event and more like multiple forces colliding at once. We are witnessing a tsunami of change coming at us from every direction!

For decades, the global order has felt familiar: the United States at the center, its dollar the default currency, its alliances framing the rules of the game. But the ground is shifting... Slowly, unevenly, and chaotically, yet unmistakably. We are not yet at the end of U.S. dominance. But we are clearly witnessing the end of U.S. unchallenged dominance.

We’re entering a time where machines can generate propaganda at scale, manipulate markets, and — in the wrong hands — wage cyber or even physical warfare autonomously. And we still don’t fully understand the why behind many AI decisions, even as we let those decisions guide our lives.

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.
