A message from the Editors:
Welcome to the 20th anniversary edition of the magazine produced by members of the World Intelligence Network.
Over the years, the journal has had several incarnations, much like Dr. Who, or the masters of disguise, Sir Percy Blakeney, or Sherlock Holmes. Whether presented as the G2G Manifest, or the WIN ONE, or, indeed, Phenomenon, the magazine has always tried to represent diverse views, a variety of artistic forms, and philosophical musings (both ancient and contemporary) and this edition of Phenomenon is no different.
Conversely, from an editorial point of view, what has changed since the last edition is the imposition of artificial intelligence whilst trying to perform the artistic sides of editorial work, the tendency being towards standardisation, or rewrites. Clearly, both these “services” are intolerable to an editor trying to present the unique, hard-grafted work of people.
As such, Phenomenon continues to be a beacon of what brilliant people around the world can produce, plus a firm bastion of refinement and finesse, as befits the best of humanity.
I am duly delighted that this edition starts off in the main section with an interview with Christina Angelidou, a charming and enthusiastic woman of intellect and wisdom. I met her at the 12th Asia Pacific Conference on Giftedness in 2012, and the experience still resides in my heart.
Perhaps the real “star” of this magazine, however, is the year itself: 2025. That is why the usual grid of photos has been abandoned. The colourful grid represents the squares of numbers that make up 2025. It is also timely that the founder of the WIN, Dr. Evangelos Katsioulis is 49 this year (7²). I am 64 in November (8²), and the other editor of Phenomenon, Krystal Volney, is 36, so 6².
Now, I warmly invite you to read and view the contributions provided by members of the World Intelligence Network (WIN) and rejoice at how fortunate we are to have such a precious resource.
Thank you for your support, especially as we enter an uncertain world, and please, shine on.
Graham Powell
