With the recent announcement that iconic global destinations are becoming more expensive for Canadians, the story is not just one of economic strain but one of cultural access and memory. The Louvre, the Colosseum, and Machu Picchu are more than tourist attractions; they are sites where cultures intersect, and histories are both preserved and challenged. As entrance fees rise, we must ask ourselves what this means for the collective memory these monuments curate and who gets to participate in this storytelling.

As the push to mine the ocean floor gathers steam, spearheaded by an ambitious corporation with Trump’s backing, we find ourselves at a precarious crossroads. This latest endeavor, described by its proponents as a necessary stride for technological advancement, promises access to vast reserves of nickel and cobalt beneath the Pacific Ocean [1]. Yet, the true cost of this venture extends far beyond environmental concerns, echoing the heat traps and social divides observed in cities plagued by inequitable policies. Anthropologists, who interpret urban landscapes as reflections of power dynamics, warn that the consequences of deep-sea mining could mirror the stark inequalities seen above ground. As history has shown, the benefits are likely to favor the few, while the risks are shared by all.

The recent launch of SUPERWISE's AgentOps, a platform aimed at governing AI agent operations, underscores the critical question of who truly controls the algorithms that increasingly dictate our lives. As AI systems become more autonomous and embedded in daily operations, from financial trading to healthcare, the power dynamics surrounding their governance become ever more opaque. This development places a spotlight on the risks inherent in algorithmic decision-making, particularly for those who lack a digital voice to influence or scrutinize these systems.
