Chinese monism: Power versus Knowledge

Recently, I noticed two interesting articles that seemingly contradict each other: (1) China tells schoolteachers to hand in their passports (FT, 6 Oct 2024), and (2) Scale of Chinese Spying Overwhelms Western Governments (WSJ, 14 Oct 2024). The contradiction is about gathering knowledge. Does China trust its spies more than public information from the Financial...

Does the aether represent “dark” matter & energy?

While writing my previous blog - Dark matter: complexity or simplicity?? - a thought appeared in my mind: is the aether responsible for reflecting “dark” or invisible matter and energy?

Last Wednesday's night, the thought that inspiration is a search for talent suddenly arrived. My remarks needs some elaboration: I never receive ideas for books, movies, music,...

Geen Pers (muskieten)

De conservatief-rechts pers in Amerika klaagt flink over het gebrek aan persvoorlichting (o.a. Fox News), eerst onder Joe Biden (zelfbescherming tegen frequente blunders) en nu onder Kamala Harris (opzettelijk beleid??). Ook in Nederland lijkt de pers opzettelijk te worden gemeden. Ik juich deze ontwikkeling eigenlijk wel toe. De media en pers zijn allesbehalve...
