Getting payed for work or for admiration?
In the Netherlands, work is the goal of life. Not necessarily doing a job that’s needed to make the world go round, but to earn a keep. People don’t care anymore about what their work is for. They believe in money and the need of money. A person is apparently doing something very useful if…

Bitcoin is a ‘pied piper’
Very interesting is this discussion about cryptocurrency. Yet another derivative of the good old exchange of life support items. Mind you, we humans need to interact with each other, securing our homeostatics… We need food and shelter. Yet, as an individual in current circumstances this is rather difficult to do. So, we interact. Work together.…

City Counsel membership #D66
I’d like to shape the structure needed to support people who are the complex kind of square pegs in round holes. Those who try to fit, but meet with ignorance and rigidity. Personally I do not have much of an ambition, within the world’s human made structures. I do not have to thrive, but I…

Thinking
Thoughts are a harmonic culmination of echo’s resulting from reality in time.

Politiek en Eigen Risico Zorg

Ook al ben ik zelf lid van D66, heb ik privatisering van gezondheidszorg het slechtste plan ooit gevonden. Niet dat…

Individual beings
Some people believe that being an individual is decided by others, and by protocols and rules, laws even. They may treat you as such, or not. Being an individual doesn’t mean you being an independent entity though. That simply is not the essence of being a human. One depends on its surroundings, whether it be…

Fibromyalgia and memory
It’s this kind of affliction which doesn’t really know a diagnosis. Personally I don’t like vagueness. The pains are real. The fatigue is real. The relation with stressing times making it worse are real. What is also real, is all the kinds of bodily problems one can have resembling the affliction. Besides that there are…

Vegetarian efficiency
I’d really like to see calculations on and effects from humans only eating vegetables… what happens to agriculture, (de)forestation, ecosystems etcetera. Being a vegetarian seems very noble, but human efficiency on living from vegetables alone is not very high. Biologically speaking we depend on bacteria to survive on vegetables. As omnivores we have ‘survived’ because…

Waarde van geld
De waarde van geld is van oorsprong ruilpotentiaal. Binnen de micro-economie is dat in essentie ook nog wel zo, maar meer als ‘gedragsmomentpotentieel’, door de mens als stroomvector te benaderen. Daarmee doel ik op consumptiegedrag. Waardebepaling van valuta gebeurt op macroniveau, waarbij derivaten als ‘winst op winst bij corporaties’ en ‘liquiditeit van accumulatiepotentiaal op investeringen’…
