1/Probability
Each time she has to take a plane, she checks the probability of having an accident, then her own horoscope. If the latter is doubtful, she postpones her flight.

2/Maths
I'd rather life be a math problem.
In that case, even when I'm unable to find a solution, I would be happy to believe that someone, somewhere is or will be able to.

3/Forest
The psychologist said : «Now you think about your safe place.»
Then, I went back to the middle of my imaginary forest and realized it was dark and moist, and probably dangerous. I panicked.
I don't remember how I've arrived here.

4/Random
— The pyramids are not built in random places.
— Please, don't tell me you believe in those theories!
— Which theories? They just are where people had the materials and knowledge to build them.
— Indeed.

Our food industry no longer prepares anything. It transforms our garbage into nice looking meals. Did you know that there is no fish in your surimi sticks? Do you believe there's real chocolate into your cookies?

6/Algorithm
I don't know why so many people are mad at algorithms. They are just ways of doing things, like walking or cooking. The ones who deserve our attention are those who decide what they have to do.

7/Network
The global network has been down for 3 days, now.
We should try and find other ways to contact one another, and go on with our lives, but we still hope to repair, because there's so much to lose.

8/Neuron
There isn't much difference between the bowel neurons and the brain neurons. You can even find nomads neurons going from one place to the other. It's a great discovery that will change the way we try to cure some diseases.

10/Antagonists
If you consider laughing to be the antagonist of crying, and sadness the opposite of happiness, you understand nothing about human psychology.
Ambiguity and complexity are everywhere.

9/Deepen
You should never make too much effort to deepen a superficial relationship.
Sometimes, the person isn't much interested in knowing you, but other times, you could discover a basic robot or a stupid human, none of which you have the right to hurt.

11/Generate
Nobody generates nothing from the void.
The money that you use was taken from someone else, poor or rich, and results, at the end, from the exploitation of many by few people.
Yes, I'm aware that I'm not funny.

After the era of mineral robots, came the vegetal ones, like the TreeBot, a tree able to move from a place to another one, in order to provide freshness and shadow where it was needed.

13/Decision
When you're an adult human, you're supposed to make decisions.
That's what so many children dream of.
But when you're an adult, you know your decisions weigh little, even for your own life.

14/Convolution
When you make a robot copy of a human being, you have two more steps which only a specialist can achieve.
One of them is called convolution. It enables the robot to express emotions similar to the model's ones.

She sees everything in gradient.
From what she hates to what she likes, from cold to hot, from red to blue...
Everything is part of a spectrum. Nothing is singular.

Time travel is a recurrent theme of science fiction stories, even though it's something that we are able to do: from the past to the future and at the speed of one second per second.

— There is a problem with my predictive fish. It has never given a correct weather forecast.
— Nobody, nowhere is able to. Have you heard of climate change?
— That's precisely why I had bought the fish.

19/Statistics
If you want to seem like a serious journalist, you'll have to mention statistics in your articles. You'll always find some numbers, and if they don't tell the same story as yours, don't worry. No one really checks them.

18/Classify
They always classify everything, making lists of similar items, and for each element, the list of its categories .
A star is, in their system, a space thing, a symbol, a night stuff, a subject of superstition and a Christmas thing.

22/Strengthen
It has been shown that sending postcards could strengthen the ties between friends, but not within families. The fact that many people feel forced to write to their family members is a possible reason for that paradox.

— I don't understand what you mean by «variables». I just want to rent this flat .
— Each month, with our unique and playful system, we rotate the building and we change the flats' stages. You'll pay more or less, depending on the view, for example.

Many people buy patches of masking data. They are a package of information different enough from yours, that you can spread over your ordinary activity in order to fool the trackers.

The recently discovered interstitium is a kind of hidden layer in the human body, between the skin and our other organs. It's only visible in living systems and disappear in dead organisms. She shouldn't we use those characteristics for better spying?
