Recently, someone asked me if I am single by choice. My simple reply: NO. I referred her to my 2022 blog Single: by choice, circumstances, or both? Somewhat later, I had a weird thought: is it possible there might be a third reason for being single rather than choice or circumstances? And which? Albeit somewhat reluctantly, I'm inclined to argue with a (provisional)...
There's a Dutch expression that translates like: the one who isn't strong, must be smart (eg, Ensie, Wiki). I then wondered if there's an edge to that coin. Subsequently, I noticed a 2016 Sesame Street song: Smarter, Stronger, Kinder. That song is also a metaphor for my main concept: Love, Knowledge & Power.

De huidige terugval van Pieter Omtzigt zag ik daarom al lang geleden...

For example: see the “too sensitive” comment in the 6th paragraph of the Economist article below. The article is also an example of the dangers of an absence of a dualism beween Knowledge and Power. In monism, everything is...
In yesterday's blog, Dreams, I wrote the following: "In my view, the soul is the linking pin between individual and universal consciousness." That sentence bugged me for some reason, and has resulted in this new blog and new diagram. I suppose that the above classification is new to me. After some reflection, it (still) feels valid. This classification also allows...
