When the fog lifts, don’t run yet
It is winter, wet and cold. Night is almost over and on the horizon you can see a diffuse light. A dense fog hangs over the fields so you have little visibility. Dawn is about to break, but you don’t know where you are or what is going on around you. At last it is… Continue reading

9/11 Was An Inside Job Until Proven Otherwise
By Indi Samarajiva
The idea that politicians would blow up their own country was incomprehensible to me until it happened to me. In Sri Lanka, politicians let a long-warned about (by Muslims) terrorist attack happen on Easter 2019 in order to run a political campaign demonizing Muslims. And it worked. This is well documented in a… Continue reading

How Communism Is Outcompeting Capitalism
By Indi Samarajiva
Isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think? A hundred EV companies have bloomed under communism, while capitalism subsidizes one blowhard making four vehicles and one paperweight. A startup has trained an AI for $5.5 million under communism, while capitalist AI requires $500 billion in government support. Everything capitalists told you about capitalism was just… Continue reading

Does it matter what we write?
Does it matter what we say? Isn’t everything already fixed or is there little to change? Quite a few things have been written down and said and most of it is really just repetition. Most of it is just familiar and the world moves on.
Once a bright mind writes down something new, few read it… Continue reading

I think, but that is doubtful
Most people think of themselves as thinkers rather than feelers. They think they are rational rather than intuitive. But the question is whether they use one of these two traits dominantly or whether perhaps something else is dominant.
If you as a reader find this question interesting and think about it, then you are… Continue reading

Free Thought
We often talk about “Free Speech”, but that is actually a nonsensical discussion. You can be for it or against it, but never stop it. The basis is “Free Thought” and our thoughts are as free as a bird. You can poison a garden, but eventually weeds will always grow. Nature is many times stronger… Continue reading

Sometimes music, certain music, comes your way totally unexpectedly. I want to share some of these moments with you and maybe a miracle will happen to you too. Because for me, these were miracles. It is wonderful to be open to wonders.

Objective predictions and interpretations are scarce
I regularly make annual predictions and then I find it only natural at the end of the year to see if and which of my predictions have come true. For the year 2024, I had made 181 predictions that were concrete and could be followed. The result is that 70% of them have demonstrably come… Continue reading

A Rant is as Good as a Holiday
This is an exceptionally good rant from Shahid Bolsen of Middle Nation. We get phrases such as Europe, specifically France slowly being worked out of Africa as a neo-colonial power, will be so broke that they’ll sell the Sistine Chapel on EBay. Lovely!
It starts with physical cleanliness and the comparison with whitewshing. I never… Continue reading

Eight billion unique people all with their own mindset, their own train of thought, their own opinion about everything, their own language, their own preference for everything, their own character, their own set of beliefs, their own survival strategy and their own idea of reality. Eight billion worlds… Continue reading

A practical approach to Consciousness
We humans are looking for certainty and then prefer to set things down in all kinds of rules. Books are filled with theories, whether in science or religion. Even a document like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not limited to one A4 sheet, and governments write hundreds of meters of law books full… Continue reading
