Can't say I'm a fan of religious institutions, but Dr. Everett Pipers Interview on "The Rubin Report" is worth watching.

There (likely) is no single best reading position

2019-01-05

Reading positions are dear to my heart — but I still haven't found one in which I can read for more than a couple of hours. But perhaps variability is the key.

Recommendation: «The Fountainhead» by Ayn Rand

2018-10-06

Not the shortest book, and not that easy to read, but totally worth it — among others for its interesting look on creative and non-creative people, and the forces at odds in society.

A (down-voted) comment on dealing with troublesome social situations

2018-02-15

If others are in bad situations, people are quick in wanting to help directly. But there's something to be said for encouraging people to develop the competency to deal with current and future situations on their own.

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.
