Inspiration and its source dimensions

My writing is based on my inspiration. The source of that inspiration is (an) unknown to me. In my view, its source dimension(s) might be related to (my) individual, collective or universal consciousness, which is also known as panpsychism (eg, Britannica, IEP, Stanford, Wiki). My diagram below is my interpretation of the link(s) between inspiration and its source...

The world’s hot new trade is “sell America” (Axios)

Intro LO: The world has long ignored that USA is semi bankrupt (eg, Debt to GDP ratio, annual budget deficits, trade imbalances). However, the World kept financing U.S. debt (eg, buying U.S. treasuries, US$).

Mainstream media have migrated towards opinions - rather than facts -...

For the government, our identity is almost equal to our (Dutch) Social-Fiscal number, or our Social Security number (eg, USA). That number contains some relevant information, like our name and birthdate (source). Wikipedia: “[..] the Social Security number has become a de facto national identification number for taxation and other purposes.“...

Dutch PM: migrant integration failed

Monday, the Dutch PM said something that (very) many people (probably) believe as well: migrant integration has failed (eg, Volkskrant). In my view, not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe and in USA. Blaming Angela Merkel’s 2015 comment (“Wir schaffen das”) is relevant though too simple. The context of the PM’s remark is relevant: the Amsterdam soccer riots....
