In Which November 2026 is welcomed with Christmas and more Artificial Intelligence Thoughts!

Good morning, my friend, cordial reader of this present post! Happy Sunday, and happy November!! The month building up to the best of the year! We are closer to the end of a deeply chaotic one, speaking of which, closer than not. 2025 was quite eventful, but 2026 makes 2025 looks as tepid as 2015 in comparison. As the Christmas part of the year unfolds, more and more breathe relieved, though the perspectives for 2027 are nebulous at best. October was a huge pile of anxiety.

In which we have an extra post to have some erudite music!

And again happy Friday guys!!! A great afternoon to you all!!
And here I am again! So fast, right?? Hope I'm not being overwhelming, but I just wanted to have a separate post to share one of my favorite erudite compositions with you guys, continuing the music Friday! It's just a quick post, but oh dear this piece by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924), present on the soundtack of Sid Meier's Civilization V, is one of my favorite pieces ever! Civ V is wonderful and Gabriel Fauré is wonderful too, also I heard it's been 8 years since this game, that is my favorite, was released, so it just makes sense!!!! I'm gonna share first the version of the game composition, because this interpretation is my favorite, but I could only find it so far on youtube:
And here it's the version for Spotify, which is not orchestral, but still wonderful:

Here's a painting of Gabriel talking about it, he has some pretty iconic facial hair, as we can see!

This piece has a huge and strong impact in my life, and I can't tell how much I love it, since the first time I heard it in 2011, while playing Civ. I never forgot of it and I never will forget, it will forever be a part of my life. My life is better because of Gabriel and this amazing composition, I just had to share this with you guys. It was a bad week, but as long as I can still listen to this, I will holding the conviction that my future is better and my mind will be calm and I'll be happy 100%. Hope you guys are fine, and see you guys next time! Which is probably tomorrow, cause tomorrow is post day, but anyway, see you guys next time!
And don't worry by how short this post is, I'll have more erudite pieces in the future here!!
