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...

An American brain drain
A recent Politico article stated: “Europe seeks to capitalize on America’s Trump-driven brain drain [ ] The EU’s body for scientific research, as well as local, regional and national governments, are mobilizing to poach top U.S. scholars.” Actually, it's tempting to ridicule the possibility of an American brain drain to Europe. Also given this March 5 Dutch article:...
Back to the middle?
There’s an interesting Dutch political trend following the course of Trump-2025 in the Russian-Ukraine war. Dutch voters, including me, are turning away from parties (ie, PVV, NSC, BBB) that seem to abandon Ukraine, like Trump does. I’m not a fan of Ukraine but I do not trust Russia - at all.

Retaliatory measures (eg, by Canada) against USA will only “prove” Trump’s point: friendly nations do...
Trump: ‘EU opgericht om VS te naaien’
In zijn eerste kabinetsvergadering beweerde Trump het volgende: "De Europese Unie is opgericht om de Verenigde Staten te naaien. Dat was het doel. Ze hebben hun werk goed gedaan, maar nu ben ik president." (NOS, AD, BNR, GVA) Zit hier een kern van waarheid in, of betreft het (wederom) een voorbeeld van zijn omgekeerde psychologie? Een uitspraak uit 1971 suggereert...
Make Europe Great Again (MEGA)
On 18 June 2024, Hungary announced its official motto for its 2024 Hungarian presidency of the Council of the European Union: Make Europe Great Again or MEGA (source). Early 2025, a MEGA rally was held in Madrid. I hardly noticed that alternative MAGA slogan, until the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) - as well as Elon Musk - started using it (very) recently: “Forget MAGA,...
