I suppose that people would view a break-up (eg, agreement, businesses, divorce, friendship, relationship) as the result of someone who is winning and someone who is losing. However, some break-ups will either result in two winners or in two losers. Real-life is different from (a) game theory. Most games are designed to result in winners and losers - and having fun...

Trump Exempts Phones, Computers, Chips From ‘Reciprocal’ Tariffs (Bloomberg Breaking News)
Intro LO: Apparently, the Trump Administration fears that computers and mobile phones from Apple and Samsung will become too expensive for Trump voters - and themselves. The Bloomberg comment that these "exclusions [were] published late Friday" implies that this was - again - a deliberate move that was supposed to be overwhelmed by other news. In short, Big Tech...
Is Trump een amateur??
Intro LO: Mijns inziens is dit Trouw artikel een voorbeeld van onderschatting door mannen; het onderwerp van een concept blog waaraan ik werk. Vrouwen zullen Trump waarschijnlijk overschatten (o.a. "gevaar voor de wereld"). Zoals (bijna) altijd ligt de waarheid in het midden. Naar mijn mening is Trump vooral "slim slecht" en allesbehalve een amateur. Hij gelooft...

Nevertheless, both seem rationally related; not emotionally. Switzerland is neutral, according to its self-imposed foreign policy (Wiki). Nevertheless, a majority of Swiss want closer ties to...
Can AI live up to the hype?
Recently, economist Daron Acemoglu and Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology claimed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can only do 5% of jobs. Bloomberg: “You’re not going to get an economic revolution”. Hence, he fears a “massive crash” in a bubble. I agree. Before his prediction, we had several doomsday predictions by the IMF...
Angst: van overbevolking (1972) naar onderbevolking (2024)
Het oude spreekwoord, angst is een slechte raadgever, zijn we kennelijk al lang vergeten. In de HJ Schoo-lezing van 2024 sprak Pieter Omtzigt (NSC) over het gevaar van onderbevolking. Diverse vrouwelijke columnisten schreven cynische reacties over zijn gewenste extra baby’s. In de jaren 70 waarschuwde de Club van Rome in haar rapport De grenzen aan de groei (1972)...
