The meaning of the word «dialogue»

2021-12-10

I recently read that the dialogue with the unvaccinated was a failure. Well, that shows a very strange definition of the word «dialogue».

Look at the content, not the author

2021-12-05

Even — and especially — with emotionally charged topics, it pays to look at the content, not the messenger.

2021-12-02

A nice website that blogs interesting images. Not all are winners, but it's a treasure trove. And something to look at when you need a change.

Once more with foresight — using a Plague

Not sure whether the quote about Newton is true or invented — it might still fit.

Isolation (Covid lockdowns for unvaccinated)

2021-12-02

So, the German government excludes unvaccinated from public (private) life. Save for supermarkets and pharmacies. If that's the game they want to play, I won't play.

Removing auditory distractions

Working at home — stupid regulations — I am once again remembered of a really useful invention: earplugs.

Ray of Sunshine Presentation about Student Activism

2021-12-02

Recently stumbled upon this presentation – the tips are okay, but I have rarely seen a more happy speaker.

This is a private blog showing my opinions. If you have an issue with what I write here, either don’t read it or talk to me directly. Don’t waste your time — or mine — dragging my employer into matters where they hold no authority.

The institution I work for, or rather the people officially representing it, have already distanced themselves from this blog. I find this unnecessary, as I’ve clearly stated in the «About this Blog» section that this is a personal blog.

Frankly, I have nothing but contempt for those who lack the backbone to address their concerns directly and instead resort to passive-aggressive tattling to others. Such behavior strikes me as not only cowardly, but also spineless, gutless, and wholly unprincipled. Moreover, these efforts are as pathetic as they are futile.

That said, I might listen if you present compelling arguments and evidence, as constructive feedback is always welcome. Who knows? We might even both gain something valuable from the interaction.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
