SOCIAL INEQUALITY: CURRENT AND FUTURE TIMES

Today’s topic on our Blog is Social and Economic Inequality. When speaking of inequality, one must understand that the notion of disparity and contrasts is of utmost importance in identifying what is unequal. That said, Social Inequality is one of the greatest challenges in the world. In 2025, Brazil reported that the richest 10% concentrated about 59% of the national income, while the poorest 50% held only 10%. On a global scale, 1% of the population controls more than 45% of the world’s wealth.

Global statistics indicate that 700 million people live below the poverty line—less than $2.15 per day. This severely impacts education. In low-income countries, only 25% of girls complete high school. In the health sector, in poorer regions, life expectancy can be up to 20 years shorter than in wealthy countries.

At these levels, social violence tends to increase, coupled with economic crises. Sustainable growth becomes unlikely, as a large portion of the population cannot consume. Furthermore, political instability and institutional crises are far more likely to worsen. Finally, global inequality sustains a logic that is incompatible, as it drives forced migration and generates conflicts.

And conflicts are precisely what we do not want. It is necessary to analyze the entire global situation. In our interdependence, we rely on multilateralism, which has yielded fruitful negotiations. Current conflicts tend to subside. However, it is still necessary that we become less unequal in financial matters—something that afflicts the world and causes severe damage to the social fabric.

Investment in basic and technical education, expansion of minimum income programs and productive inclusion, strengthening of community policing (focused on conflict mediation), and the creation of psychological and legal support centers can certainly bring a lighter atmosphere for reversing the violence scenario.

Finally, if the current trend continues, violence linked to Social Inequality may rise to higher levels. In Brazil, this violence could increase by up to 12% by 2030. The impacts will be felt most severely among Black populations, those living in peripheral areas, and young people. Therefore, in seeking to reverse the situation, it is necessary to have coordinated actions among Governments, Civil Society, and International Organizations.

The Behavior of the Zega Function in the Cosmic Atlas

Imagem
In our “Zega atlas” of the Universe, each nontrivial zero of the Zega function acts like a mathematical pulsar emitting stellar coordinates. These points appear distributed almost symmetrically along the real and imaginary axes, evoking the delicate balance between matter and antimatter in the earliest moments after the Big Bang. Just as the cosmic microwave background reveals density fluctuations that gave rise to galaxies, the density of zeros in specific regions of the complex plane signals areas of cosmic concentration and galactic voids. The internal structure of Zega displays a kind of implicit web of interconnections, reminiscent of the cosmic filament linking galaxy clusters. Each deviation in the coefficients of Zega’s power series reflects a subtle curvature in spacetime, similar to the gravitational ripples captured by thermal interferometers. As the zeros approach certain extreme values, we can draw analogies with regions of high gravitational distortion, where black holes ...

THE CURE FOR CANCER?

Imagem
This article proposes to discuss the cure for cancer, as well as its eradication. Today, we all live with a very serious problem in society: Cancer. There is no discrepancy in medical understanding that the survival process of living beings is driven by mitosis and meiosis, a well-known fact of our time, which can be summarized as the multiplication of one cell into two, through a procedure that consumes a great deal of energy produced by the cellular organelles known as mitochondria. It is through cellular respiration that the division process is possible, because the chain of production of our energy currency—ATP—is carried out by a series of chemical reactions within the cells that follow the genetic structure contained in DNA. DNA clearly determines everything that happens to us, especially the law of survival, and therefore the point at which a cell must divide. However, when the element arsenic enters the human body—here referred to as the organic block (for didactic purposes)—t...

THE SOAP OPERA OF AI AND FRAUD: UNTIL WHEN?

Imagem
Let’s be clear! The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly directed toward graphics and images. As a result, many malicious individuals are exploiting AI to commit fraud against others, and I must admit this is happening in an excessive way. There is a constant movement of people seeking to deceive others for financial gain—imitating appearances and voices, making promises that are not real—through a tool that should, in fact, be an ally in the path of progress and scientific advancement. Frauds involving AI are occurring everywhere. No one can distinguish anymore what is natural from what is artificially produced. By this I mean it is necessary to stop this type of activity. Virtual masking resources must be banned, and anyone attempting to produce image or video masks with voice should and must have their account blocked in AI databases. What should be advancement and progress for humanity is, in reality, being used as a shield for fraud and extortion of well-intention...
