D66 congregeert…
Pechtold als premier. Ja… dat werd gisteren wel duidelijk. CDA zonder ‘C’ bruiste het onder de leden. Het echte politieke midden. Progressief Liberalen, volgens sommigen. Het enige antwoord op populisme, was iedereen het over eens. Gelukkig niet kritiekloos en ik heb veel goede dingen gehoord. D66 blijft voor mij een warm bad, als het op…

Multinationals and Investors not amused…
Multinationals and investors are criticised by many layers in society about their efforts and vision on economic and environmental development. Recent events in air-pollution production however really took the biscuit.

Steen
Frutjeprot en Protjefrut zaten op een steen. ‘Protjefrut?’ zei Frutjeprot: ‘waar gaan we straks eens heen?’ ‘Frutjeprot,’ zei Protjefrut: ‘ik ben liever alleen.’ Dan ga ik naar Frotjeprut, want jij bent maar gemeen!

Fixation…
In the past the human race was using their own as slaves by subduing groups of humans with distinct features.

Besides that, we use each others reward system to be kept in check.…

Memory
Strictly speaking life is just a kind of memory. It’s a kind of stacking, made possible by energy of photons and gravity force. From a relatively simple amoeba up to us as humans, atoms and molecules are arranged such that they shape objects in time and space. They know some kind of flexibility, a particular…
