I’m noticing a slow, gradual, positive (bodily) improvement, while also noticing sudden performance declines (in my walking). My mother (91) experiences a (mental) opposite effect. This effect is know as the sawtooth effect. The sawtooth effect describes a pattern of sudden performance or efficiency drops followed by a gradual recovery, creating a jagged graph...
Cycles and Waves

Tijd en stabiliteit
Donderdag 26 februari kwamen de woorden hierboven - laat - bij mij naar binnen. Ik maakte geen aantekening. Toen ik wakker werd, keerden ze meteen terug. Vandaar deze (“oude”) blog. Ik worstel met de betekenis van die woorden. Ik vermoed dat de betekenis met het heden & het nu te maken heeft. De toekomst zaait bij velen vaak angst en twijfel. Het verleden is...

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...

Hence, Time might indeed not “exist”. The real problem might be answering the question: what is Time ? The Sumerian civilisation used Earth’s orbits around the Sun as a way of calculating time (eg,...

The acceleration of Long Term waves

In my 2018 and 2020 blogs, I integrated (i) Needs, Wants & Beliefs and (ii) Awakening into the Strauss-Howe cycle. Source: Charles Hugh Smith, 11 June 2008, Dude, We Are So...
The complexity bias (15)
In March 2018, I wrote about the simplicity bias, part-1 to part-5. It took me some months before I realised everything is getting more complex (eg, in life, nature, universe). In September 2018, I started writing on the complexity bias (1). Many episodes followed (eg, part-14 in 2024). Today, starts part-15. Early April 2025, Quanta published this article: Why...
