Another terror attack was just reported: “At least 15 individuals have been killed and dozens injured following a shooting incident at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia on Sunday evening. Authorities have classified the event as a terror attack, with reports indicating that the two gunmen specifically targeted attendees celebrating the Jewish holiday. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the gunmen ushered non-celebrants aside before opening fire. Emergency services reported at least 29 injuries, and one of the attackers was shot while the other was apprehended. Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed the discovery of several improvised explosive devices in a nearby vehicle, prompting the involvement of bomb disposal units. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack, emphasizing its targeting of Jewish Australians and asserting that it represents an attack on all Australians. He convened a meeting with national security officials to address the incident. U.S. reactions included a statement from President Donald Trump, who reassured Hanukkah celebrants of their safety, and a condemnation from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who highlighted the need to combat antisemitism. Videos from the scene captured the panic among beachgoers and the heroic actions of a bystander who intervened to disarm one of the gunmen. This act of bravery was praised by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, who described the individual as a hero. The shooting occurred against a backdrop of rising antisemitic incidents in Australia, particularly following the onset of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry reported a significant increase in antisemitic attacks, raising alarms within both the Jewish community and broader Australian society.” It was subsequently reported that the shooters were father and son. What were the causes of this event? What is most important for us to know?

Police in Hong Kong arrested three men on suspicion of manslaughter, several local news media reported, in connection with a blaze that has killed at least 75 people and left hundreds missing in the city’s deadliest fire in years. Hundreds of residents were evacuated as the fire which started on Wednesday afternoon, spread across seven of the eight high-rise apartment buildings in a housing complex in Tai Po district, a suburb in the New Territories. At least 29 others remained hospitalized. Bright flames and smoke shot out of windows as night fell. Authorities said earlier that investigators would be looking into factors including whether material on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings met fire resistance standards, as the rapid spread of the fire was unusual…Officials said the fire started on the external scaffolding of one of the buildings, a 32-storey tower, and later spread to inside the building and then to nearby buildings, likely aided by windy conditions…The housing complex consisted of eight buildings with almost 2,000 apartments housing about 4,800 residents, including many elderly people. It was built in the 1980s and had recently been undergoing a major renovation. Was this tragedy accidental, caused by human arson, or something more deeply sinister?

A viewer asks: “Many people assume the self is mostly fixed, defined by circumstances, something to “find,” not something you shape or choose. But modern psychology sees the self as constructed, context-sensitive, and changeable. Some philosophers and New Age advocates also claim we can choose who we become. We seem to have part of us that defines an “automatic experience of reality” that decides what becomes “real” for us but we also seem to have a capacity to choose a new “intentional reality” as a story we choose and create by changing how we interpret things via our beliefs and biases. Can Creator give a brief tutorial to explain this dilemma to help us intentionally create better versions of ourselves?” What can Creator tell us?

A viewer asks: “Richard J. Davidson, author of “The Emotional Life of Your Brain”, says understanding the brain increases agency over emotional reactions. He claims you can train the brain to respond differently to challenges and that with the right mental exercises, and habits, it’s possible to reshape neural pathways, enhance resilience, attention, and overall emotional well-being. For example, he claims that naming an emotion activates the prefrontal cortex, which helps regulate the brain’s fear-and-stress center. He says the prefrontal cortex can also regulate other emotion-generating regions (amygdala, insula, hippocampus). How effective are these suggestions in gaining agency over emotional reaction?”

A viewer asks: “The classical view of emotions is they “happen to you” – regulation means managing reactions after they occur (e.g., calming down when angry). Lisa Feldman Barrett’s Theory of Constructed Emotion however argues that emotions are constructed (based on context, past learning, and bodily input) rather than hardwired biological and universal responses. If correct, practices like increasing body awareness, expanding emotional vocabulary, and reframing experiences can change the way we build emotions in real time. How well can this framework be used to turn emotional reactions into something we can consciously shape, meaning we have agency over how we feel, rather than just endure?”

Forbes reported: “On October 20, 2025, Amazon Web Services, the backbone of much of the modern digital economy, suffered a widespread outage in its U.S. East region. The disruption brought down major websites, applications and systems around the world. From airlines to banks to social platforms, the effect was immediate and far reaching. This incident is not just another technical glitch. It is a reminder that even the largest and most sophisticated platforms in history can fail. The question is not whether it will happen again, but what every business will do differently now that it has.” While this outage caused inconvenience for consumers, it also carries a deeper warning for every enterprise and for the nation as a whole. Cloud dependence has become total and many industries would struggle to operate without it. The concentration of workloads in AWS’s U.S. East region highlights a serious vulnerability, particularly for sectors tied to national security. Much of the Defense Industrial Base relies on that same region for hosting, authentication and data management. A prolonged outage in U.S. East would not just disrupt business operations; it could affect defense readiness, logistics and the ability of contractors to deliver on sensitive government programs. Aside from unavoidable technical vulnerabilities, was there anything sinister behind this outage and could it be tied to the coming events like power outages we’ve been expecting? What can Creator tell us?
