The English in this article is so poor, there are several paragraphs I had to read several times to get any sense out of them. AI or the four(!) reporters named? Interesting topic, but nothing much added in this piece.

Pentagon bought device through undercover operation some investigators suspect is linked to Havana Syndrome
The Defense Department has spent more than a year testing a device purchased in an undercover operation that some investigators think could be the cause of a series of mysterious ailments impacting spies, diplomats and troops that are colloquially known as Havana Syndrome, according to four sources briefed on the matter.

"This is a new reality that we are dreaming and weaving together."
This is either the last or second to last section of Kairos I'm writing. This is the most specific so far. After that it's editing and making it feel more like a single consistent text than a bunch of essays. I hope it's worth the read.
Feedback is always welcome, especially editing (typos, grammar, etc), and questions.

ISTB University of Vienna on Instagram: "We are deeply honoured and delighted that the South Asian, Tibetan, and Buddhist Studies Library has been selected as one of the distinguished institutions to receive the eighty-volume commemorative edition of the Tipitaka, published in Thailand in 2016 to mark the seventieth anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol’s accession to the throne. The Thai monarchy has long upheld a well-established tradition of commissioning, presenting, and receiving editions of the Pali Canon. In 1893, King Rama V commissioned the first printed edition of the Tipitaka in Thailand, which was subsequently presented as a gift to institutions in more than twenty-five countries. The 40-volume “King Bhumibol Edition” allows monks and Buddhist laity worldwide to chant the Tipiṭaka in a consistent, rule-based manner. It is accompanied by the 40-volume “Queen Sirikit Edition” which reproduces King Rama V’s use of Syām-Pāli annotation with additional notes. The ISTB library provides an ideal home for this new edition of the Tipitaka. With a collection of more than 70,000 volumes in over ninety Asian languages, it serves as a vital centre for research and teaching in South Asian, Tibetan, and Buddhist Studies at the University of Vienna."

(It's actually a good first-person shooter. Very similar quality, if not better, to Doom 2016.)
