Following yesterday’s blog, I just had an intriguing thought: if balance & symmetry govern the Universe then how about “things” that are not in balance? The answer isn’t easy. Why? What is balance & symmetry? How to define it? Where to look? When does it occur? Who is (not) in balance? Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion help defining Balance: for every action,...

Sumerian cosmonauts vs humanoid sapiens
2 Jul, 2026
After writing yesterday's blog, Humanoid sapiens (7), a thought and question entered my mind: how about Sumerian cosmonauts versus humanoid sapiens? There is a rather essential discrepancy between both. That discrepancy relates to these thoughts and questions: Sumerian cosmonauts suggest that it's possible for lifeforms to travel interplanetary distances. Cave...

30 Jun, 2026
There’s still quite a lot of discussion whether humans are alone in the Universe. Even despite UFO sightings that are going back millennia (eg, Wiki) as well as the Sumerian King List. Combining both raises my blog title. My concept of intelligent design can be summarised as follows: from simplicity (eg, bacteria) towards complexity (eg, humans); from Needs (all...

This also explains kiSwahili phrases like hakuna matata (eg, The Lion King), which translates like "no worries" or "no problem". Initially, I did indeed wonder about the African attitude...

17 Jun, 2026
On a daily basis, I receive many articles and often from American media (eg, Bloomberg, NYT, WaPo, WSJ). Since several weeks, I have been cancelling several (free) mailing lists because of their European trash talking. Actually, Google AI Overview “agrees” with my view: American media criticism of Europe often stems from political friction and cultural contrast,...
Twijfel is gezond

De Russische invasie van Oekraïne (2022) is inmiddels in het 5e jaar en wordt vrij algemeen als een mislukking gezien. Hetzelfde lot lijkt ook de Amerikaanse aanval op Iran (2026) te gaan treffen: een mislukking. Ik ben geen fan van de Chinese president maar de mislukkingen van Amerika en Rusland maken hem sterker. Zijn voordeel heeft ook een (zijn) nadeel: de...
