Mortality: terrible … or not?
First text written in Dutch, second text in English. Sterfelijkheid is een kenmerk van ons allemaal. Toch is het iets waar we in het algemeen weinig bewust bij stilstaan. Bij mij durft dit feit zich wel eens te profileren tussen mijn andere gedachten. En meestal brengt deze gast niet zo een goed gevoel met zichContinue reading “Mortality: terrible … or not?”
To anyone who thinks it’s necessary to mention extremist Muslims, who in the past looted Christian heritage, in a twitter message about the fire of Notre Dame
first text in Dutch, second in English Wanneer je misleidende informatie nodig hebt om je ideeën te laten aanslaan, is er volgens mij iets mis met je ideeën. Naar mijn mening zou het bestuur/de regering van een land de samenleving moeten (proberen te) verbeteren, maar vooral de stabiliteit van het land moeten waarborgen. Vandaag gebeurtContinue reading “To anyone who thinks it’s necessary to mention extremist Muslims, who in the past looted Christian heritage, in a twitter message about the fire of Notre Dame”
The power of critical thinking
Recently I have been thinking about being critical. From my own experience I notice that some people take things too quickly without evaluating them for truthfulness and the presence of nuance. I have also recently heard several pleas to make this an (more) important value. In a society where we are constantly bombarded with information,Continue reading “The power of critical thinking”
The human condition of searching for meaning II
More structured update of “The human condition of searching for meaning”. Many of us (we, human) feel that there is “something”. Life must have meaning, because otherwise we would not have that meaning-seeking attitude. On the one hand: coincidence in humans But other life forms do not have this experience / feeling (probably; because theyContinue reading “The human condition of searching for meaning II”
Because life has so much more to offer
The need for a beautiful and inspiring vision of life is current and yet of all times. To where our historical sources reach, we see the philosophical attitude of mankind appearing in all kinds of different objects and writings. I also think philosophy is extremely interesting because it enables us to think about what weContinue reading “Because life has so much more to offer”
Possible existence of an after death living soul and conscious robots
I don’t believe your soul lives on after you die. I think that, as I read in an article, matter is needed in which processes take place to be able to speak of a mind and the corresponding consciousness. But the possibility that robots can have just as much awareness as humans, is a difficultContinue reading “Possible existence of an after death living soul and conscious robots”
Me, you and we: the power of empathy and support
Why are empathy, acceptance and support actually needed? Why does society have to invest in these standards and make them (back) important values? Many people do not feel supported in today’s society. People with a different culture, sexual orientation, etc. are almost routinely excluded due to the fact that their culture/behaviour is unknown to “normal”Continue reading “Me, you and we: the power of empathy and support”
The human condition of searching for meaning
Meaning is something difficult. We, as human, see it as an important subject, but we create that importance by ourselves. It seems that searching for meaning is part of being human, that it’s in our DNA. Perhaps it is an evolutionary protection mechanism or just an accidental spur of our human intelligence or our consciousness.Continue reading “The human condition of searching for meaning”
To wonder
I often wonder how the society has become what she is today. I wonder about animals in clothes, whole organisations, the internet and how we could create this big clew of human influence. I sit in the bus while the world is passing by and suddenly everything that I always found normal, everything I didn’tContinue reading “To wonder”
