All Through Our Existence: The – A – My

I am somewhat surprised that what I intend to write about this week may indeed not be a HUGE leap from what I wrote about last week. Many things have been going through my mind — or maybe I should say: many influences. When I finally came up with the title for this post, it… Continue reading All Through Our Existence: The – A – My

Natural Orientation

Today nearly everyone is focused on living in the present. Presence is the place and state of mind in which many people want to be at all times. That may very well be all good and fine, but still we should also keep in mind our orientation. Orientation is a word with very strong connotations.… Continue reading Natural Orientation

Cavities, Spaces, Pigeon Holes and the Tunnel-Vision through the Channels in Between Work and Life

This week, I’m living (and working) according to a little bit different time schedule than most weeks. Just a few days ago, I had a marathon movie viewing bout — I think I watched 4 movies in an 8-hour time frame. They were all very different, and one of them I chose mainly based on… Continue reading Cavities, Spaces, Pigeon Holes and the Tunnel-Vision through the Channels in Between Work and Life

Losing the plot

I was at an event over the last few days which I will probably write a lot more about over the coming weeks, but there were a few interactions I had with others which have prompted me to write about this topic — and in particular the way I see it. In my humble opinion,… Continue reading Losing the plot

Tolerable Perfection and Implications for Human Mortality

This morning I experienced a sort of “AHA!” insight that I want to share with you now — even if the ink on my haphazardly scribbled notes has not yet even had any opportunity to dry in the fresh, crisp early autumn air. To provide more context, let me first add that quite a few… Continue reading Tolerable Perfection and Implications for Human Mortality

Living Here

This week I am going to be “switching things up” and I guess there will be a big “change of pace”. In part, this may be due to a dearth of propaganda influencing me and causing me to react (and / or retaliate). But the way I will introduce this topic will probably trigger a… Continue reading Living Here

How to Make Natural Selection Work

Now that I have written this title, I wonder why I have never before considered the context in which the term “natural selection” arose (and how this context perhaps influenced the selection of the term natural selection“). So I pulled a few volumes of decades-old paper encyclopedias off my shelves and in one of them… Continue reading How to Make Natural Selection Work

Does Google Own the Internet?

For the faithful [1], the answer is almost certainly a resounding “YES!” Yet before jumping to conclusions, let me take a step back in time. A long time ago, messages (i.e., “dialog boxes”) like this were quite widespread. I think they were seen as confusing, and gradually gave way to other question-and-answer combinations. What I… Continue reading Does Google Own the Internet?

A Quick Note About Lifestyles

I was at an all-day event this past Saturday, it was mainly about health issues. I have two quick key takeaways. First: Health and medicine are (of course) big business. Second: The keynote speaker argued vehemently how the healthcare (and pharmaceutical) industries revolve around keeping sick people alive, rather than improving the quality of life… Continue reading A Quick Note About Lifestyles
