A recent Axios Technology alert (see below) was no surprise (to me) because trust between humans is essential is nearly every issue, like in business, family, friendship, relationship, school, sport, and at work. Those issues are - ultimately - about competition versus cooperation. Human trust is about known knowns (eg, history, knowledge), known unknowns (ie,...
“Een studie van PricewaterhouseCoopers (verschenen in Fortis Business Focus nr 2- summer 2005) toont aan dat 70 % van de overnames en fusies falen door menselijke aangelegenheden.” (bron, FSV, HFD, HRP, HSR, PWC, U-GENT-2005, UVT).

This blog is about fantasy novels, which is probably a (very) misleading term because nothing in those books in about unknown unknowns (my 2016...
On 11 April 2015, I published my blog: Chaos, Equilibrium, SuperPowers and the United States of Europe (1). A lot has happened since, like Trump 2017-2021, 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Trump 2025-tbd. Today, I present an update of my 2015 diagram, which includes The Great Flood (16,000 BC – 4,000 BC). Or, alternatively, the post-glacial sea level rise following...
