Hunters (M) versus Gatherers (F) 

Hunters (M) versus Gatherers (F) 

Recently, a Dutch woman said to me that “men are hunters” (ie, for women). I agree. Science claims there was a human evolution from hunters into gatherers. I’ve never believed in such an evolution. In my view, men have always been hunters (eg, Power), and women have always been gatherers (eg, Knowledge). Men and women are connected through Love. Human population...

Standing still means going backwards. But why?

The saying “standing still means going backwards” is (only) true from a relative rather than from an absolute focus & perspective. But why?? Because everything follows Why. Examples: Love: others find a new relationship while you are not. Knowledge: stopping your car on a highway. You’re not going backwards. Still, cars that are passing by, may give that...

My next thought was about reciprocity and its common dualistic...

”We worden steeds slimmer”

Bovenstaande zin hoorde ik tijdens een radio commercial. Als je naar de diepte (o.a. details, micro) van onze kennis kijkt, dan heeft dat bedrijf gelijk. Kijk je naar de breedte (o.a. overzicht, macro), dan worden mensen steeds dommer. De Renaissance man - of uomo universale - was voorheen een ideaal. Ik geloof nog steeds in dat ideaal. Voor mij blijkt het...

China’s battle with deflation isn’t just a demand problem (FT)

Intro LO: In a market economy, lower consumer demand is compensated by lower (eg, manufacturing) supply in order to maintain consumer prices. Lower demand without lower supply, will cause high inventories, and the need for price reductions in retail and wholesale. Latter is called (price) deflation. Clearly, China does not quality as a market economy given the very...
