Quite regularly, I feel that my mind is on automatic pilot. That feeling is different from consciously following my daily routines. I suppose it’s like sleep walking while being fully awake and/but mildly aware. In psychology, "autopilot" (or automaticity) is a state where the mind processes information and executes behaviors without conscious intention or...
Brain vs Universe
Blind spots
For about two weeks, there’s a topic in my list that is - finally - getting a meaning: blind spots. My future book has 6 chapters or topics but what if I’m missing one?? How would I know on a timely basis? Fortunately, my mind still works like the auditor whom I used to be. It’s making continuous checks on the completeness of my chapters and/or topics (eg,...
Netwerken en overbelasting
Mensen bouwen netwerken om vraag en aanbod zo lang als mogelijk in evenwicht te houden, zoals bij auto's (files), data-info (o.a. congestie), internet kabels (o.a. breuk), stroom, en een Wifi verbinding.

Without lifeforms (eg, humans), there would be no appreciation and gratitude of that view. Perhaps, my consideration above explains David Bowie’s chorus lines (see below): [Chorus: David Bowie]Don't you wonder...
The Void (2)
Last Saturday, a funny Terry Pratchett quote entered my mind: “The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” Perhaps that quote is the essence of any void. I suppose that a void resembles a vacuum with the difference that a void is open and a vacuum is closed. There’s a similar difference...

The Blueprint of Life
The article below has changed my recent perspective on Light, consciousness, and simplicity & complexity. I have added two new elements to my recent diagram: the Blueprint of Life and life's universal building blocks. Moreover, I've added red question marks at the very left and right of my diagram (eg, input, output). My diagram suggests a cycle of...
