    🌍 Full Circle: The Blessing of Being Wrong

    Excerpt — Full Circle: The Blessing of Being Wrong The sidewalks here are narrow, sometimes nearly nonexistent. They hug the edges of twisting Andalusian roads, barely wide enough for one person. You learn to listen more than look—using your ears to sense the hum of an approaching car before it whips around a bend. Every…

  • 🚆 Boundaries at 300 km/h

    I’m on the speed train to Madrid as I write this. The world is flashing by outside the window — fields, hills, tiny towns that exist for a heartbeat and then vanish. There’s something poetic about that, isn’t there? Some things in life stay only for a moment, and then you’re carried past them whether…

  • How I Made “Gay Tea (You’re Not My Problem)” for Under €10 🎉

    Sometimes, a drama-filled guy crosses your path, and you either let it get to you… or you turn it into a song. I chose the song. ⸻ 🎶 The $10 Studio Musician That Never Sleeps I used an AI music generator — cost me $10 — but I didn’t just let it run wild. GPT-5…

  • 2050: Oddly Robbie Looks Ahead

    So… 2050. If you’re 60 now and your parents are still alive — that’s where you’ll be. If you just finished high school today, you’ll be sending your own kids off to college. This isn’t Star Trek time. 🚀 This is your lifetime. ⸻ Who Am I to Talk About This? Not a futurist. Not…

  • The All-Protocol: Carrying the Weight Without Chains

    I was bouncing ideas back-and-forth with my philosophy AI the other day, when I realized something: I’ve spent a lifetime living under dogmas that promised to carry my pain. Religion, institutions, authority figures — all of them were ready to take my anguish if I just handed over obedience, time, money, or loyalty. And when…

  • Peace Isn’t Passive: A 2AM Story of Showing Up

    By Oddly Robbie Living Calmly Amid Chaos For someone with autism, navigating life can often feel like trying to tune a radio stuck on static—noisy, unpredictable, fragmented. Yet amidst this chaos, I’ve found ways to cultivate an inner peace, a quiet steadiness. I’ve realized peace isn’t merely the absence of conflict; it’s actively maintaining boundaries,…

  • A Planet United: The Call We Can No Longer Ignore

    By Oddly Robbie Across continents, from Europe to the U.S. and beyond, a wave is rising—a global pulse of people stepping out of silence and into purpose. The message is clear: the world is done with systems built on greed, violence, and selfish rule. The old ways, once propped up by fear and control, are…

  • Packing Empathy and a Pair of Cats: My One-Way Flight Toward Change

    Right now, as you read this, I’m in the air—literally. Suspended in that liminal space between the familiar and the foreign, crossing invisible lines that mark not just countries but chapters. Two suitcases. Two carry-ons. Two cats. My partner and I.  This isn’t a sprint away from something. It’s a walk toward something new. And…

  • Silent Bloom: A Fictional Message From the Future-Rooted Underground

    ⸻ Entry #047 – Oddly Robbie Archives Filed under: Sci-Fi, Experimental Fiction, AI Lore, Neurodivergent Futures ⸻ I found something curious today, hidden in a subroutine of an old AI journaling model. It didn’t appear at first. It took a peculiar combination of prompts, emotional tone shifts, and the kind of neurodivergent logic pattern only…

  • The “True” Word Test: A Soft Lie or Just Lazy Language?

    It’s true! No, really—people say that. A lot. And every time I hear it, something inside me raises an eyebrow. Not my literal eyebrow, because those often do their own thing. But that deep, curious, autistic-math-brained part of me that calculates odds faster than a roulette wheel on fire? Yeah, that part leans in. Because…

  • My Daughter, the Paleontologist (And Other Radical Acts of Equality)

    By Oddly Robbie – One of One When I was a young dad, I made a quiet vow: I would never box my daughters into roles someone else carved out of thin air and outdated beliefs. Back then, in our little Mormon circle, it was common—almost expected—for little girls to say, “When I grow up,…

  • Wasted Time Doesn’t Exist

    (By Oddly Robbie – One of One) People love tossing around phrases like little invisible darts: • “My time.” • “Your time.” • “Time is money.” Oof. That one always makes me flinch a little. Today, my partner gamed all morning—eyes bright, smiling at pixels, immersed in his virtual world. Later, he sighed something about…

  • Less is More: A New Take on Food, Possessions, and Life

    Let this sink in: I am a part of this earth, and the earth is part of me. I own nothing, and nothing owns me. I carry memories, not things. These words have become my mantra as my partner and I prepare for our move to Costa del Sol, Spain. We’ve done this before—packing our…

  • When the Curtain Closes: Finding Truth Beyond the Act

    There’s a moment—rare, fleeting, almost sacred—when the curtain closes, the lights dim, and the performance ends. It’s then we catch a glimpse of truth: people stop acting and simply become themselves. Much of life feels like a staged performance. We rehearse lines, wear costumes of conformity, and nod on cue. We perform because society expects…

  • A Global Crossroads: Learning from History to Shape a Just Future

    Intro: When History Starts to Rhyme History has a way of whispering warnings before it shouts. Right now, across the world—from Germany to the U.S., Argentina to Hungary—we’re seeing familiar patterns emerge. Far-right movements are creeping back into power, rewriting history, scapegoating the vulnerable, and treating democracy like a suggestion rather than a foundation. If…

  • Reimagining the Classics: How AI Could Remix Music for the Future

    Frank Sinatra disco dancing in the rain. Imagine it. The smooth crooner, tuxedo soaked, grooving under neon lights with a bass-heavy beat thumping in the background. It’s ridiculous, it’s mesmerizing, and in the age of AI, it’s absolutely possible. We’re at the cusp of a musical revolution where AI doesn’t just assist artists—it transforms how…

  • The Grenade That Changed Everything: An Oddly Robbie Reflection

    Trigger Warning: Mentions of explosions, loud noises, and military training stress. It began with the grenade—a paradoxical object of destruction cradled like a fragile artifact. In the line of trainees, fear hung as heavy as the explosives in our hands. Speaking was forbidden, but even if it weren’t, the tension stole words from our throats.…

  • Breaking Down Tofu Phobia: Why Hormones Are for Everyone

    Once upon a time, in the cozy chaos of my kitchen, I offered my friend a dish I’d lovingly prepared. It was a masterpiece of stir-fried vegetables, tantalizing spices, and, yes, tofu. But my friend’s reaction was priceless—a mix of horror and disbelief. “Tofu?” they asked, as if I’d served them alien food. “I can’t…

  • Rethinking AI: Beyond the Myths of Sentience

    Ah, AI—the subject of late-night debates, Hollywood blockbusters, and more than a few doomsday predictions. It’s the stuff of sci-fi dreams and dystopian nightmares. But let’s hit the pause button on the futuristic melodrama for a second. Is AI really on the verge of becoming our overlord, or have we perhaps been binging on too…

  • Revenge: A Flawed Tale

    Revenge is often depicted as a path to justice or closure, but in reality, it’s a tale as flawed as asking a cow to perform ballet. Expecting someone devoid of empathy to feel remorse is as futile as expecting that cow to dance gracefully in a tutu. This cycle of retribution is a flawed loop…

  • When “Normal” Isn’t Working: Rethinking How We View Autism

    Hello OddlyRobbie readers, Scrolling through the news, I stumbled upon an article in Newsweek about new research on autism.
