Luka Jagor | The Deep Dive Podcast

Who owns the afterlife? Three figures answer that question in different ways: a preserved body prepared for continued existence, a person whose death is not allowed to be an escape, and a queen who forces a deathlike sleep.

The episode follows Egyptian mummification and the Book of the Dead, then the Zagreb mummy Ružica, purchased in Egypt by Mihael Barić and housed at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. It turns to the Haitian zonbi in Haitian Vodou and the slave colony of Saint-Domingue, and to the Brothers Grimm telling of Snow White, the glass coffin, and the wicked stepmother.

The visual psychology of newsroom stickers. A short editorial label guides attention, signals context, and gives a post a recognizable identity.

The Newsroom Sticker Library organizes thirty-six slogans for breaking news, updates, context, extra reading, and commentary. Keep sticker text in uppercase with bold condensed type. Red is for breaking news, blue for updates, yellow for attention, and black-and-white for analysis. Reserve Breaking News for genuinely new developments, New Update for changed facts, Fact Check for evidence, and Read More for further material.

The machinery of manufactured outrage. Learned hatred is built through dehumanization, collective blame, emotional conditioning, and social reinforcement until hostility feels like loyalty.

A staged incident can aim that anger at a person or a group, but a political benefit is not proof of coordination. Revenge restarts the grievance cycle. The way out is truth and acknowledgment, accountability, safe expression, protection and trust, and a different shared future.

The algorithmic scarcity trap. The modern web was built so information could be shared, but much of it now runs on scarcity: paywalls, ranking systems, and the chase for attention.

A scarcity mindset treats visibility and knowledge as zero-sum. An abundance mindset keeps work linkable, uses open standards such as RSS, and lets people publish on a site they control.

Why men vape for deeper voices. Electronic cigarettes are not a quick fix for changing your voice, and they will not reliably make it sound less gay or more traditionally masculine.

E-cigarette aerosol can irritate the throat and vocal folds. The effects include hoarseness, dryness, coughing, and unpredictable changes in voice quality, even when the liquid contains no nicotine. A speech-language therapist, gentle daily practice in a comfortable lower range, and basic vocal rest are the safer route.

How Zabok redefines real estate value. Zabok sits on major roads and a railway to Zagreb, which makes it an easy bedroom community unless the city builds reasons to stay.

The essay treats the neighbourhood outside the apartment as the real product: safe sidewalks, schools that run a single shift, the Regenerator cultural centre, energy renovations, and shared solar power in Špičkovina. Planning is meant to send construction where the city can support it, including around Veliko Trgovišće, instead of chasing any project that promises investment.

Croatia's superconducting grid strategy. The essay asks whether Croatia can move from copper-wire electrical equipment to superconducting cables, magnets, and complete systems.

High-temperature superconducting cables can carry about three to five times the power of a conventional cable at the same voltage, in a corridor up to about ten times narrower, with near-zero resistive loss in the conductor. Liquid nitrogen, at about −200°C, holds the conductor in the superconducting state. Essen's AmpaCity link, Chicago's Resilient Electric Grid, the Best Paths 3.2 GW test, and the SCARLET and SupraMarine projects show the technology in service or on the way. KONČAR's transformer, motor, and switchgear work, including its CERN record and the Bedekovčina high-voltage laboratory, is the industrial base still missing cryogenics, tape handling, and superconducting protection.

Rave the World Radio: The Underground Radio Station. Ten channels, one independent audio universe, and a playlist architecture designed for the long run.

Rave the World Radio, created by Luka Jagor, pairs underground electronic culture with cyclic scheduling, locally run AI audio tools, and human curation. The essay looks at Main stream, Chill-out, Hardcore, Celebration, Drama Fix, Goa Trance, Audio Theater, Podcast Hub, Vintage Electro, and Afrobeats, then at the modulo idea behind a schedule that can point at the year 9999. That year is a MySQL DATETIME boundary and a metaphor, not a promise of uninterrupted broadcasting.

How holding your arms up fixes posture. The Dynamo Project asks you to raise both arms overhead, keep a comfortable posture, breathe normally, and gradually lengthen the hold.

The essay frames the challenge as muscular endurance, shoulder mobility, movement awareness, and a break from sitting. An arms-up hold is not a proven way to improve overall circulation, and it is not a substitute for walking, cycling, or running. Start with short holds, and stop for pain, numbness, dizziness, tingling, or unusual breathlessness.
