Public opinion has a way of mistaking fear for foresight. The idea that artificial intelligence will somehow “ruin” human relationships has become one of those convenient moral alarms that everyone can agree on without ever examining it closely. Around half of all people in recent surveys say they believe that AI will make relationships between humans worse. But what they are really saying is that they fear competition — competition not from other humans, but from something that might listen better, understand faster, and judge less.
The assumption behind this fear is simple: that any relationship not rooted in biology is a betrayal of our humanity. But that notion collapses the moment you look around. Our lives are already full of non-biological companions — pets, books, music, art, even social media feeds that whisper comfort or outrage into our minds. We bond with ideas, memories, machines, and voices on the radio. The human need for connection has never been limited to flesh and blood.

The Supreme Court’s decision to take up a GOP-led challenge to the Voting Rights Act, a case that could tilt control of Congress, is not only a test of electoral fairness—it is a stress test for America’s innovation economy [2][4][8]. Reporting indicates the Court appears inclined to limit race-based electoral districts under the Act, intensifying fears that the law faces something close to a near-death experience [5][6][1]. If the rules of representation are rewritten, the rules of national priority-setting will be rewritten with them, from how we fund AI and clean energy to whether biotech breakthroughs are distributed equitably—or hoarded by the already powerful.

The debate over whether students should keep cameras on in online classes is not just a pedagogical quarrel; it’s a parable about visibility, power, and who pays the price of transparency. When we ask a face to appear on screen, we assert that seeing is a surrogate for trust. That same impulse runs through today’s arguments about digital money: make transactions traceable to prevent harm, but not so exposed that dignity dissolves. The headline, The Black Box Problem: Why Cameras Matter in the Online Classroom, is a mirror for our financial future—what we choose to reveal, what we allow to remain private, and how rules meant to protect can inadvertently exclude. If we want technology to expand opportunity rather than narrow it, we must balance the human need for recognition with the equally human need for refuge.

The United States has grown strangely comfortable with stories that, in another era, would have shaken its democracy to the core. Reports that the Trump family has made more than a billion dollars from crypto ventures tied to regulatory decisions [1]. Time’s account of tariff shocks and sudden reversals that coincided with Truth Social posts urging investors to “BUY” [2]. Jared Kushner’s $2 billion fund seeded by Saudi Arabia [3]. Donors receiving pardons or policy favors [4]. Free jets, private perks, and regulatory agencies that quietly step aside.
