Mental Fast Food™ —
things worth thinking about.

A by-product of research at the EQUORA Institute — not the residue, but the usable part. When a number everyone repeats turns out to answer the wrong question, when a chart changes the moment you ask differently, when a decision framework fits on one page: that's Mental Fast Food. Each piece ends not at "now you know" but at what you can actually do.

Data & world

Complex global systems made explorable. Each piece is a starting point for a question, not the answer to one.

Swim shirt or sunscreen:
what is each good for?

The sunscreen number comes from health outcomes in people, the shirt number from UV transmission measured in a lab. A slider and body map show which applies where, and what survives the beach.

The qubit count went down,
the machine got better

IBM's 2023 processor had 1,121 qubits, its 2025 one has 120 — the smaller number is the better machine. Eight technologies on five yardsticks, where the ranking flips with the metric.

Anxiety
takes up room

That anxiety consumes working memory was measured on one person; that young people are more insecure, on populations over three decades. Plus a working-memory demo you run on yourself.

Why do we like deadlines
more than processes?

A widely shared graphic got two of the EU AI Act's five dates wrong. A switchable timeline and a six-question filter: a date fits in one image, scope takes questions to establish.

Five names, five
weights of evidence

A parenting post cites Siegel, Porges, Neufeld, Kohn and Winnicott as if the same settled science stood behind each. Nine claims on two axes: strength of evidence against firmness of wording.

Football is not
about football

The 2026 World Cup as a sociological lab: 104 matches, 48 nations, data on trust, conflict and pride — closed on 19 July. A by-product of the TRUST arc research.

100 drinks on one map: health up the side, environmental footprint across — and you weight both axes. Switch the serving or the footprint type, and the ranking rearranges itself.

Global freshwater supply

Drought, glacial melt, shifting monsoons, reservoir evaporation — interactive forecasts for 10 regions to 2030. Based on UN · World Bank · FAO · IPCC data.

The Carpathian Basin

The basin is water-rich and drier every year. Both are true — the balance measures throughput, not stock. A bathtub, an error bar and a fixed order of decisions.

Demographic crisis

Population decline, ageing society, dependency ratio, life expectancy — six interactive chapters with EU and Hungarian data. Based on UN World Population Prospects 2024.

Happy life,
or long life?

Happiness rankings and life expectancy barely overlap. Switzerland and Australia are the only shared top 10; Japan is #1 in longevity and #51 in happiness.

"Only 9% of plastic is recycled" — a true number answering the wrong question. Ask the right one and the graph transforms; then: what to do, and why hasty recycling can hurt.

Why homelessness

Drugs, illness, poverty — the obvious answers explain who falls, not how many there are. Switch the scatter to rent, and the points snap into a line.

Why do we eat
these animals?

Beef, pork and chicken are 80% of all meat — not for health or efficiency, but because that is how it was decided between 1945 and 1980. A question-switch on what "less meat" really means.

Could the Earth feed everyone
on plants?

77% of farmland produces 17% of the calories. The biology is clear; the bottleneck is economics, politics, and who carries the cost of the transition.

The growth
anomaly

For 99.9% of human history there was no sustained economic growth. One cubic metre at 4.5% a year, the Maddison hockey stick, and both sides of the decoupling debate.

When composting

Two processes run under one name, and only one of them is harmless. Where good intentions turn into methane — and why biology is not the fix.

The screen is
not the problem

Screen time is said to be harmful, and we get a number: one hour. What if that number is a policy decision, and the real question is not how long but what it displaces.

Catching up isn't
a question of import

A high share of legionnaires and a high diaspora share look like one signal — the 2026 World Cup semi-finalists show they are not. What counts is not what a country imports, but what stays behind.

Which water-saving

A dripping tap, a greywater system, less beef — all three are called water saving, yet they differ by orders of magnitude. Ranked by the litres they actually save.

Three tools for conscious AI use. Free to download, printable — not recipes, but thinking frameworks.

Decision

Reversibility × context requirement. Where does AI decide and where does the human? A 2×2 matrix for when to involve AI in a decision.

Decision framework Printable

AI value
decider

Works without humans × creates value. AI Gold, Synergy, Noise, Waste — four zones showing whether AI genuinely adds value to a given task.

Evaluation framework Printable

AI fluency

Do you recognise it × do you evaluate it critically. Fluent, Sceptical, Dangerous, Unaware — four profiles to locate yourself on the AI literacy spectrum.

Self-assessment Printable

"95% of AI projects fail" — true, but that is a targeting problem, not a technological one. Ask the right question and the axes switch: the successes sit in the back office.
