Import tariffs: SCOTUS vs Trump
The continuous - and increasingly ridiculous - import tariff threats by the American president, makes me wonder if he already knows the forthcoming SCOTUS verdict. Losing could well explain his ridiculous threats. Winning could, however, also explain the forthcoming...
Lightbearers
Since a few weeks, I’m watching the TV series Charmed (eg, IMDb) that runs on Paramount Network. It’s about good witches, like the Hallmark series Good Witch (eg, IMDb), which aired some 10 years later. Recently, the concept of Lightbearers was mentioned, which struck...
Multi purpose
I just had an intriguing thought: is everything in Life, Nature and the Universe multi purpose? Water is multi purpose (eg, gas, ice, snow, thirst). Light is also multi purpose (eg, energy, sunlight, UV-radiation, warmth). I cannot imagine that's a coincidence. Is...
“Wat doe ik hier nog?”
Bovenstaande vraag was haar antwoord op mijn vraag aan haar of zij nog een Nederlands onderwerp voor mij had. Zij vroeg mij of ik dit onderwerp wilde koppelen aan mijn blog van woensdag: Single by choice, circumstances, or …… (2). Die koppeling speelt ook bij mij. Ik...
SWOT analysis on China, Europe, Russia, and USA
The US threats to American countries (eg, Canada, Latin and South America) and also to Greenland (Europe) gave rise to my new diagram. My 2026 diagram is partially based on my 2018 diagram that (only) compared Europe and USA. This 2026 diagram compares China, Europe,...
Single by choice, circumstances, or …… (2)
Recently, someone asked me if I am single by choice. My simple reply: NO. I referred her to my 2022 blog Single: by choice, circumstances, or both? Somewhat later, I had a weird thought: is it possible there might be a third reason for being single rather than choice...
The fundamental lack of trust between men and women (2)
In 2015, I wrote The fundamental lack of trust between men and women. Today, my 2026 update that includes: (1) Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus (1992), and (2) my 2022 blog The 7 elements that define the type of relationship. My 2019 diagram (below) was/is too...
When will American debt become a tipping point?
Intro LO: The recent warning of Janet Yellen (b.1946), economist and former US Treasury Secretary (2021-2025), has been on my mind for quite some time. I suppose this quote is essential for any country, and especially USA: "a state with increasingly expensive...
Het recht van de sterkste
Het bombardement van Venezuela (o.a. aanlegsteiger, boten, hoofdstad) en het kidnappen van de President betekent dat (tegenwoordig) het recht van de sterkste geldt. Ik vermoed dat dit "incident" uiteindelijk nogal verstrekkende internationale en geopolitieke...
Types of Love in terms of emotion and ratio
Over the years, several of my former friends (F+M) have changed boxes in my diagram below. Today, I'm wondering if empathy is an intermediate step towards indifference. Indifference can also be a blessing rather than a curse. Indifference clears the mind, including...
