Jill Biden is the First Lady of the United States or FLOTUS. There's a new category now: First Criminal of the United States or FiCUS. The presumption of innocence makes no logical sense - in his case. I'm quite sure that this "deeply wounded narcissist" would be loud and proud carrying his latest title. His latest indictment is his most serious one: "efforts to...

When to apply the lesser of two evils principle?
22 Jun, 2023
My question is: when can one apply this principle? Is it even possible to apply this principle on nations, like China vs USA, or China vs Russia? It seems that this principle prefers a micro rather than a macro view, like the 2016 choice between H. Clinton and Trump (eg. my 2016 blog, Politico). Most likely, evil requires a simple, one-dimensional view. Example:...
Has morality become a benchmark for others?
1 Jun, 2023
Ethics and morality used to be a benchmark for evaluating our own deeds, words and intentions (eg, good-bad, right-wrong). Today, other people insist on evaluating what we say or do. We could call them prudes (Dutch: fatsoensrakker), the righteous (Dutch: moraalridder), or woke (Dutch: deugen). Hence, my blog title: is morality now a benchmark for judging others...
Netanyahu 2022 = Trump 2024 ?
24 May, 2023
Late 2022, Netanyahu became - once again - the PM of Israel, despite the legal trials against him (eg, "bribery, fraud, and breach of trust"). Trump wants to be re-elected as US president in 2024, despite the many lawsuits against him. Hence, my question: Netanyahu 2022 = Trump 2024 ? It appears that lawsuits against both are strengthening their voter base, while...
Healing
14 Dec, 2022
While doing the final edit of my recent blog, Damaged goods (2), I wondered about the word healing. Healing is (much) easier said than done. Why is it necessary? What is healing? How to get there? When is it finalised? I hope my blog will give (you) some answers to those questions. I think, feel and believe that the Why is about restoring the balance & symmetry...
Why is the truth so important to us?
9 Dec, 2022
Most truths are subjective truths: we see, hear, smell or taste what we want to believe and ignore all other (eg, contradicting) sensory input. Hence, other people usually have different (subjective) truths. Why don't we agree that nothing is true? This theory is called alethic nihilism (eg, Aeon-2022, Wiki-1, Wiki-2). source, Reddit I suppose that a part of the...
