I’m in a new phase of my rollercoaster of solitude and loneliness. I failed to see this coming, despite part 6 of this blog series from October 2024. My comforting feeing of solitude seems to have vanished into thin air. Feelings of (temporary) loneliness have replaced my solitude. I can hardly remember such feelings. I’m not sure if I ever experienced those...

The need for a subplot
13 Jan, 2025
Last Wednesday, I viewed Se1Ep1 of Matlock (2024), featuring Kathy Bates. Initially, I failed to understand its high IMDb rating. Afterwards, I gave it an 8. The difference was its last scene, which revealed a very intriguing subplot. I suppose the excellent subplot of The Mentalist (2008-2015) explains the above.

Nevertheless, both seem rationally related; not emotionally. Switzerland is neutral, according to its self-imposed foreign policy (Wiki). Nevertheless, a majority of Swiss want closer ties to...
Are young generations anti-democratic??
12 Nov, 2024
An American expert at The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies claims that voting by "anti-democratic young generations" is a reason for Trump's 2024 victory. See his recent comment on Dutch BNR Newsradio. In my view, "anti-democratic young voters" is a rather silly and even a contradicting concept. As a child (1960), my parents once explained that it was common that...
