Late 2017, I published my blog on Waves (2), including the long-term economic Kondratiev wave (c.45-60 years), and the long term generational Strauss-Howe cycle (c.80 years). 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...
In my blog Types of Love, I made this comment: fantasy + intuition + beliefs = facts. Another view is this: from unknown unknowns towards known knowns (facts). My 2017 diagram gives another view by moving from below-right, to below-left, to top-right, towards top-left (facts). Source: my 2017 blog Focus vs Distraction It should be stressed...
Intro LO: Een recent artikel luidt: Zwart gat ontdekt dat mogelijk ontstond vlak na oerknal.

Echte intelligentie is een combinatie van (1) kennis, (2) intuitie, (3) overtuigingen, en (4) fantasie. De term AI komt nu niet echt verder dan sub 1: kennis. Theoretisch zou sub 3 kunnen worden toegevoegd met mogelijk zeer ernstige gevolgen (o.a. "mensen zijn...
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...
The ongoing intense discussions on the threats of Artificial Intelligent robotics made me recently wonder the following question: is it even possible that technology will - once - no longer be a human tool? In such a situation, the human species might become the tool of Technology. Human movies already "answered" my question. The 1984 film The Terminator features...
