iPhonism: The “New” Social Divide

Creatix / January 27, 2025 Human Division Is Not a Bug. It’s a Feature. Human beings almost never agree. Not fully. Not for long. Across history, cultures, beliefs, aesthetics, and technologies, consensus rarely reaches 100%. Instead, humanity tends to fracture—often strikingly close to 50/50. And once that split forms, each side subdivides again, and again, like a branching tree of disagreement. This pattern shows up so consistently everywhere you look that it’s hard to dismiss as noise. It looks structural. From an evolutionary perspective, that structure makes sense. Universal agreement is dangerous . If an entire population converges on the same wrong decision (e.g. wrong migration route, wrong food source, wrong social rule) the result is extinction. Division hedges risk. Some go left, others go right. Some adopt one strategy, others reject it. When one path fails, another survives. Disagreement preserves optionality. It keeps experiments running in parallel. A species that argues...

Top One-Hit Wonder of All Time. What Does It Take To Succeed in Music?

Creatix | January 25, 2026 Gotye Is the Top One Hit Wonder of All Time (And Why) A one hit wonder is an artist or band that produces one song that achieves overwhelming mainstream success, while the rest of their catalog never comes close to matching that cultural, commercial, or chart impact. The term does not mean the artist lacked talent or stopped making music. It describes a lopsided legacy, where a single track dominates public memory so completely that it becomes the artist’s defining work. In many cases, the hit is so massive, crossing radio, charts, streaming platforms, and pop culture, that it creates a peak almost impossible to repeat. The artist becomes a permanent reference point tied to one unforgettable song. At Creatix, our readers are the mission. We put words together as tools for life improvement. The hope is that by reading our content, you find guidance and inspiration to improve your relatively brief existence on Earth. We emphasize reading because it's a good...

Top 7 Destinations Where Tourists Report the Most Scams

Creatix / January 23, 2026 Where Scammers Have Frequent Flyer Status Travel is an expensive, over romanticised, hassle. Being scammed at a touristy destination adds insult to injury.  It’s late January right now, so this isn’t peak travel season. But honestly? It’s never too early to learn scam-spotting—because scams are like mosquitoes: they show up the second the weather (and the tourists) get warm. Also: this is not  a “these places are bad” article. By now, almost every tourist destination feels the same. It's part of the price of globalization. For the most part. tourist trap pricing also feels standardized. Anyways, this is a “these places are popular ” list. And popularity is basically a giant neon sign that tells scammers: “Open Season. Fresh fools arriving daily.” Why popular destinations attract more scams Big tourist magnets create the perfect scam ecosystem: High volume: more targets per hour than a busy Starbucks. High distraction: you’re looking up at architect...

Creating Meaning: What Makes Us Human

Creatix / January 22, 2026 The Creation of Meaning: The Core Essence of Humanity Every living organism on Earth obeys the same fundamental rule: convert energy into pain relief. For example, satisfaction of hunger, satisfaction of sleep, satisfaction of desire. The food we consume becomes motion, warmth, growth, and reproduction. From bacteria to whales, life is largely an exercise in biological balancing. At first glance, humans are no exception. We eat, sleep, seek safety, form bonds, reproduce, and more in satisfying different pain signals and dynamically / adaptively seeking biological balance. But something strange happens once those needs are reasonably met. Unlike any other animal we know, humans do not stop at survival. We keep spending energy anyway into other creations. We turn energy into meaning.  This transition, from survival to meaning, may be one of the most important thresholds in the history of life. At Creatix, our readers are the mission. We put words together a...

The Neuroscience of Evil: Brains Out of Balance

Creatix / January 21, 2026 At Creatix, our readers are the mission. We put words together as tools for life improvement. That is, we hope that reading our content can help you improve your life. We emphasize reading because it is becoming a lost art and we believe that it is good exercise for our brains. Our books are smart alternatives for dumb scrolling. Shop our Amazon store at consultingbooks.com If you asked people throughout history whether they were on the side of good or evil, almost all would answer the same way: good . Even those who committed acts we now describe as horrific often believed the acts were justified or necessary to achieve a greater good.  That alone should make us suspicious of the idea that evil is something obvious, visible, or consciously chosen as “evil.” Neuroscience reinforces that suspicion. The brain does not contain an “evil switch” or an "evil circuitry". There are no "evil" brains and "good" brains. There are weaker br...

Best and Worst S&P 500 Stocks in 2026

Creatix / January 18, 2026 The Year Is Just Getting Started and 2026 Already Feels Familiar for AI Investors At Creatix, our readers are the mission. We put words together as tools for life improvement. Oue consulting books are smart alternatives to dumb scrolling. Buy them at consultingbooks.com Learning about investing is a clear way to take action towards improving your financial life. Our survival on Earth has been monetized. Money is practically unlimited but restricted for practical reasons. Absent scarcity, real or forced, natural or artificial, a resource loses value. If everyone is granted access to limited amounts of money, it would not be money (it would not be a valuable resource). Restricting its supply is critical to keeping its assigned value. Having said that, those who demonstrate the ability to multiple money for others, get practical unlimited access to credit and investments. Think about Elon Musk, for example. He has demonstrated an unparalleled capacity to create ...
