This thought entered my mind several hours after receiving her e-mail announcing her break-up with me. Her fear has won from her happiness. My happiness is still around, despite my initial disbelief and my reluctant anger. I will not start step 3 bargaining (ie, DABDA) for her return. She asked me to respect her decision. Actually, I’m expecting that her regret and...

Een kosmisch perspectief op intelligentie en overleven. De voortgang in mijn denken wordt gevisualiseerd door onderstaande diagrammen uit 2018 en 2022: Bron: mijn 2018 blog Bron: mijn 2022 blog De collectieve ontwikkeling...
