EU and asylum policy in numbers

  According to the latest data, in May 2025, 928,000 foreign citizens or migrants were waiting for their first asylum assistance in the European Union (EU). In the EU, 4.4 million people are already living under international protection. The largest number of people with international protection is said to live in Germany and Poland, although the largest number of foreigners per capita is settled in the Czech Republic. The largest number of applications for international protection was received in Spain, Italy and France in May 2025. Thus, Germany is slowly losing its attractiveness for those seeking international protection or asylum. The inhabitants of Syria have long been among the most numerous asylum seekers. But now they have fallen to fourth place. After the fall of the Assad regime and/or the fall of the caliphate, 1.5 million people were expected to return to Syria, but 80% of migrants from Syria do not want to return to their homeland. This year, the first place in terms ...

The meaning of human existence

  More than 8.2 billion humanity, which is increasing by more than 50%, or more than 50% more births than deaths in 2025, as a potential human workforce, is also facing accelerated robotization, which means replacing human labor with robotic labor. Thus, the paradox of the existence and meaning of humanity and their outlined technological path is slowly emerging. The technological idea that humans will no longer perform heavy physical work is tempting or attractive. However, this idea is less attractive when we consider the consequence, such as increased unemployment among the low-educated in the labor market. The consequences of increased unemployment can also be expected among the highly educated with the introduction of artificial intelligence, which will replace teachers, doctors, pilots, translators, etc. . The middle-educated working class will also be affected, as they should already be familiar with robot police officers, drone soldiers, traders, robot secretaries and more....

The victim is fed up

  We are increasingly hearing that the final product of a violent act was actually caused by a previous violent act or fraud or rhetorical violence with defamation or long-term mobbing, bullying, etc. Simply put, in such cases, it is a matter of settling scores between persons or groups without the courts and police. The former victim, now the perpetrator of the crime, is simply fed up and has taken the right to settle the injustices committed into his own hands. In the face of such events, even with the tragic end of a life taken, we can ask ourselves whether a tragic outcome of the conflict or negative social interaction with a tragic end was really necessary. We build our society on good interpersonal relationships, empathy for each other, mutual respect for human rights. We have private and social property secured and protected. In society, we are supposed to respect each other's physical integrity, etc. In addition, we instill in children from a young age family and social val...

Who is the master of the house

  People can never get used to the simple rules of interpersonal relationships, whether in the family, neighborhood, work or wider environment, even though the rules are quite simple. Maybe in our society we still have sexist promoters and attempts at domination without a legal basis or, simply put, we have people in society who operate outside the law or want to change it to their advantage. The rules are quite clear and often, with regard to the master of the house, they simply refer to property rights. The owner of the house is quite simply also the master of the house or a person authorized by the owner of the house, regardless of gender, citizenship, race and education, etc. The owner and master of the house simply decides about his house or, in other words, disposes of his real estate, uses it or not and has all the rights to his real estate or house, as long as he does not endanger others with his actions. This is called the fundamental right of property protected by the Con...

Artificial Intelligence and the Future

  All social media posts will be used by Meta to train artificial intelligence; this is what Meta announced this year. Al will also be trained based on our social media posts. In essence, it is an attempt to create artificial intelligence based on human intellect. Artificial intelligence is supposed to be in the future and is already appearing in the present, namely more than just a machine into which our or the owner's instructions are entered into their memory cells, which are loaded into the memory units of the so-called robots. The first robots that humanity began to make were also very similar to machines in terms of their external appearance. In recent times, robots are becoming similar to humans or animals. The appearance of a robot or android and the attempt to develop android or robotic independent thinking are increasingly coinciding. Thus, it is a kind of attempt to merge the android (machine) with the humanoid (human). Which brain functions and how logical operations wi...

Remote fraud

The world has become small with the introduction of online global services. The Internet has brought people closer together and simplified our lives with a range of services from online banking, online stores and all other services. However, the Internet has also enabled online fraud or remote fraud. The police classify these online frauds as investment frauds, which last year in 2024 took away 19.5 million euros from savers in Slovenia alone. This information also shows that people are extremely trusting on the Internet and by phone. Banks are again informing about the possibility of online banking fraud, as online fake bank fraudsters have appeared, requesting data and installation of individual applications, such as crypto exchanges KuCoin, Binance, Revolut, Bitstamp, Mercuryo... . So we will not know again or we will no longer trust official crypto exchanges or we will simply no longer save in cryptocurrencies. These cryptocurrency wallets with similar or identical names can be fou...

Are fruits and vegetables medicine

There is an increasing emphasis on healthy eating in our everyday lives. The human body can be compared to a machine that needs proper power supply or energy source to function. The source of energy is usually fats and sugars or carbohydrates. Very often, we are also advised to eat fruits and vegetables and not just bread and water. Energy-rich, because the human body also needs energy for its daily functioning, are usually sweets such as chocolates, cakes, cookies, etc. Fruits and vegetables are said to contain minerals and vitamins in addition to some fiber, so doctors very often advise eating certain types of fruits and vegetables when an illness occurs. The disease scurvy, which appeared in sailors, is said to have been forgotten for a long time. Thus, citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges or tomatoes were slowly added to the diet, as they are said to contain higher amounts of vitamin C. It is also recommended to consume vitamin C to strengthen the general natural immune or defe...

Pigeons on the roof

  People like to boast that we are also animal lovers. Animals are not only a source of food for people, but we often also accept them into our home environment as our pets. We also love them in nature and even around our homes. Thus, wild animals or animals that we still encounter in their natural environment have slowly stopped being afraid of humans because they have stopped chasing or killing them. Thus, humans have slowly created the conditions for wild animals to approach their homes or even start to share them. We are probably all familiar with pigeons on roofs, balconies and monuments, and at least sparrows in the bushes in the nearest park, if not near our home. Nesting sites for so-called wild birds in attics or even facades are also possible. A wild animal is a wild animal that chooses the best living environment for itself. For wild animals, proximity to humans also means a source of food. We humans have become too fond of feeding at least wild birds, which still includ...

The smell of war drives away migrants

  Since World War II, the European Union (EU) and also NATO have been an island of peaceful coexistence and safe investments. The storms of war have plagued Africa and Asia and South America, and the associated economic or financial crises. All these causes of impossible living conditions in their everyday lives have brought waves of migrants to peaceful countries. In addition to legally approved migration due to the war situation in their countries, there are also illegal ones. The EU itself is now already facing the threat of war, as is NATO as a whole. The threat of interference in wars by peripheral countries such as Ukraine and Russia, and now Israel and Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen, is endless. As are discussions about economic sanctions. Missiles are now flying around the outskirts of the once peaceful oasis of coexistence, or at least the military power of the opponents is being demonstrated. Of course, such pre-war conditions also show their power in the deterioration of e...

Kids and family

  Humanity has long been concerned with the concept of family and the status of a potential child born in a partnership between a man and a woman, as their biological parents. Of course, this type of family is idealistic. We have also known for a long time the birth of children outside of marriage and of course the punishment of such births or the stigmatization of children as bastards or illegitimate children, which should have been abolished in the modern concept of the family and all children of one mother or one father should be equal. We still like to present to our youngest or children the idealistic small nuclear family, which consists of equal partners of different sexes who love each other and of course the child is also the fruit of love between a man and a woman. This also means that the child, as the fruit of love, is also a desired child. We also often talk about family planning and of course also birth planning. The concept of the so-called incomplete single-parent fa...

Equality in social housing policy

Once again, we can hear about new, beautiful, well-maintained non-profit apartments and the lucky ones who will be allocated them. And this is usually forever, because their children can also stay in the so-called non-profit apartments, which we no longer call social apartments or apartments for socially disadvantaged people. There are no repeated procedures or re-assessment of the social vulnerability of partners or children for the same apartment, because they simply acquire the right to housing, which they find difficult to lose. Public opinion on such a state or municipal housing policy is divided according to their daily lives. The happiest and most satisfied will be those who will be allocated these new beautiful non-profit apartments, or who will be selected in the tenders for the allocation of non-profit apartments. Those who have been or will be excluded from the tenders for the allocation of these new beautiful non-profit apartments, which are certainly correctly conducted, w...

No way without weapons

  Since February, the European Union (EU) has been "celebrating" three years of the so-called Russian-Ukrainian war on the outskirts of the EU, this time over the so-called Donetsk region, which some also call the Donetsk Republic. The war has not yet ended either diplomatically or with the use of weapons. Neither Bosnia and Herzegovina nor Kosovo have yet entered a period of peace. In the fall, we will also be able to "celebrate one year of another major attack on Israel on the other side of the Mediterranean, which was established after World War II. We EU citizens are slowly getting used to the old and new needs for military force, as all diplomacy is powerless in the face of heated heads full of hatred and a war of death and destruction on the very outskirts of the peaceful EU. Even the United Nations (UN), which was established after World War II, only powerlessly discusses the long-term sustainability of peace, coexistence and respect for declarations on human righ...

Foreigners and Slovenians in 2025

  Slovenia, as an independent Republic of Slovenia with a parliamentary or multi-party system of government, was proclaimed and constituted by a constitution on 23 December 1991. This is also the year of Slovenia's official withdrawal from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). The borders of Slovenia, as an independent state, are supposed to be approximately the same as the republic borders within the SFRY. Slovenia is also supposed to be constituted as a national state of Slovenes, although throughout its history it has been the subject of conquest and occupation, as well as migration. Even during the formation of the independent state of the Republic of Slovenia, Slovenia recognized the Italian and Hungarian minorities. Other nations as minority communities, however, were not. However, all other citizens living in Slovenia, including those from other republics of the SFRY, could apply for citizenship. Even after the war of independence in 1991, Slovenia was still u...

Day of women

  The concept of women as a better or worse part of humanity, depending on individual judgment, has long stirred up mental premises about the purpose of their existence. Too often, women's purpose for existence is connected with the continuation of human existence or the continuation of the human species and performing the lowest tasks in the house, which were otherwise performed by slaves or lowly valued workers. We too often associate all other women's purposes in society with the Age of Enlightenment, when women began to demand an equal position in society, or the equalization of their position in society with men. By examining the historical position of women in society, we can conclude that women's rights in society have repeatedly risen and then fallen again. The position of women in the history of humanity has fluctuated from queen to slave on all continents. Women's Day, as an established holiday of economic, political and social independence from men, was first...

Old customs - carnival

  Every year we still celebrate carnival, which is mostly associated with customs related to driving away winter and welcoming spring. Many people transform into any person or animal during carnival from Carnival Sunday to Carnival Tuesday, or simply put, they disguise themselves. Carnival time is also a time of madness and a time of masks, when in some places masked people also symbolically take over power in cities. There is no real prescribed ethnology or rules for real carnival events, although at least in Slovenia there are attempts to determine a real carnival mask. However, the rule still applies that you should not drive around masked and you should stick to organized carnival carnivals and processions as much as possible. Some people bet on kurent or korent, as on a real carnival mask, while others on witches and fairies. Some try to comically portray current social and political events as masquerades. Carnival processions have long been established as an optional attracti...

Politics and Expensiveness

  The outlook or forecasts for this year are not the best again, as is often shown in everyday life. The political leaders of individual so-called developed countries have more than evidently forgotten that one of the conditions for successful business, which is also reflected in our daily survival basket, is actually a period of peace, not war. A state of war or the threat of war brings additional burdens on citizens for defense purposes. A state of war itself means the destruction, not only of lives, but also of property and, of course, the disruption of business. And, of course, less money inflows into the state budget and greater state expenditures. Thus, the destructive and destructive nature of a state of war is projected into the destructive and destructive power of the economy and thus also our everyday lives. War means a shortage of goods and thus also an increase in the cost of even basic necessities of life due to the destruction of factories and fields. War means expens...

Work liberation

For quite some time in human history, we have realized that we do not know everything, we cannot do everything, and our tendency to have others do some work for us has emerged. And of course, because we need the work and knowledge of others, the question of whether we will pay for this work also arises. Most likely, this tendency for hardworking hands and foreign knowledge led in certain societies at certain times to the simple enslavement of second-class people and thus satisfying the needs for labor in the lowest positions of free workers without any rights or simply slaves according to religious, national or other criteria. For many nations or religious organizations that felt superior or superior to others, such a solution to satisfying the needs for labor was the simplest and cheapest and was usually achieved through military conquest. We can console ourselves that in recent times the worker has been freed from the hardships of daily living with his paid work and can thus at least...

Infidelity and joint income

The family is supposed to be the basic unit of our societies. The concept of family ranges from a small nuclear family, consisting of a father, mother and descendants or children, to an extended family, where grandparents also live with them. A characteristic of a family is also a joint household or, in colloquial terms, joint income and/or expenses. And we usually assume, ideally, that only children are without income, or that only children are dependent members of such a joint household. When creating a family, most people also count on the long-term sustainability of this community. An extended family or a small nuclear family does not include additional partners and additional children who are not descendants of those who entered into a marriage. Nevertheless, throughout history we have known divorces and so-called descendants of previous unions. We also know widows and widowers and single parenthood as a result of the death of a mother or father. We also know orphans, who are chil...

Victim Syndrome

  We often listen to the problems of others or their difficult life experiences. We are often introduced to victims of war and/or violence. However, we are too rarely aware that we do not actually know the person well enough and have not witnessed events when these people were victims of war or violence. We simply do not know whether this person is an actual victim of war and/or violence or has simply made up horrible stories. I am very often accused of being heartless. However, I often defend myself that many facts are actually verifiable. Starvation corresponds to checking with a scale and measuring height. We are all probably familiar with the story of ideal weight in relation to our height. And of course, given this definition of ideal weight, malnutrition or overweight also correspond. Even if a person claims that water is accumulating in their body and because of this they look fatter and weigh more, we can measure this with ordinary magnetic scales. Sever injuries to the ski...

Self-image

  We all like to develop our own image and live by our own values. In fact, these are our basic human rights, which extend all the way to the rights of others. As long as we do not endanger the property or property of others with our actions, others are not interested in our personal image or property. Of course, this ideal of our personal freedom is collapsing with the phenomenon of building our image or public image, because of course we also need the public for our public image or image and therefore their opinion . If we build our public image, but not our personal image, we can also get used to public opinion. By developing our public image, we have caused the loss of our own image. Our own image, our appearance, our beliefs, values and goals, and possibly even our home or business premises become a matter of public debate or discussion. We will arrange everything in such a way that it will be pleasing to others. However, the public image or image built in this way does not ne...
