There is a myth that is plaguing the media — that myth is followers. Why are followers a myth? I’m glad I asked! 😉 It’s a “Catch 22” thing. If you need followers in order to get followers, then it will never happen that way. What actually happens is that someone gets promoted (by paying… Continue reading Trailblazing, Trailbuilding and Ideological Infrastructure

Unser Kampf
For anyone who isn’t all too “fluent” in German, “Kampf” means something like “fight” or “battle”. Adolf Hitler wrote a book titled “Mein Kampf” — referring to “My” (fight or battle). I have chosen the title “Unser Kampf” — referring to “Our” (fight or battle). Survival is indeed to some degree a matter of fighting… Continue reading Unser Kampf
Why Do You Want to Share Your Ideas?
This morning I heard an author being interviewed. In my humble opinion, the radio-person asked a strange question: “Why do you want to share your ideas?” in order to visualize for yourself just how strange this question is, consider how every human being is brought into this world. Even before we are born we seem… Continue reading Why Do You Want to Share Your Ideas?
This Life is Different
I know a woman who is a singer / songwriter — more or less. She’s written some Christmas-themed songs, and she is currently on tour singing some of these and also some of her favorites. I visited one of her events and she sang a song that I feel was (at least somewhat) intended for… Continue reading This Life is Different
Human Brain Conditioner: Human Nature is a Top Secret Affair
Over the past several weeks, I have focused on the quasi “post-mortem dump” of the so-called media‘s election coverage in the United States. I no longer usually pay much attention to the junk that has increasingly become known as “mainstream media” — I prefer to focus more on the distinction between “rational media and “irrational… Continue reading Human Brain Conditioner: Human Nature is a Top Secret Affair
Dispatch from the Other Side
Now that we’re in full-on Christmas season, I’m beginning to take stock of all the so-called “news” I’ve been avoiding over the past several weeks. The last thing I remember being aware of was the fact that when the election in the United States was decided, the German coalition government fell apart immediately — it… Continue reading Dispatch from the Other Side
Interesting Things
What interests you? This is a question I have by mulling over (with one of my best friends) during our annual November retreat. And just today, we also introduced the notion of (grammatical) subjects and objects of attention into the mix of ideas. He is fully aware of what has been not only fully but… Continue reading Interesting Things
Be There or Be Square?
I am currently travelling, so being somewhere somewhat escapes me. I am currently also quite focused on interpersonal matters, so phrases like “be there or be square” are currently particularly intriguing. If you don’t wish to offend someone by saying that they are boring or uncool, it would be best to avoid this phrase and… Continue reading Be There or Be Square?
Mediation Between Rational Media and Real World Advertising Interests
A little over a week ago, I posted a review of a blog post which mentioned using Google to search for typing.com [1] and of course I was amused that someone (and indeed people in general) still feel an urge to continue using irrational media. [2] Curious nonetheless, I went to check out typing.com —… Continue reading Mediation Between Rational Media and Real World Advertising Interests
After More than 2 Decades of Blogging, When Will We Ever Be Able to Clearly Define What is a Blog?
I am quite certain that most people feel quite differently than I do about what the term “Blog” refers to. Personally, I feel I stick rather closely to the original understanding that it’s shorthand for “weblog” (see also “Captain’s Log“). In my humble opinion, a blog is the result of using software to create a… Continue reading After More than 2 Decades of Blogging, When Will We Ever Be Able to Clearly Define What is a Blog?
