Why do the vaccinated still have to wear masks when they are on their own?

2021-11-25

Just a thought wenn looking at the Christmas Market regulations in 2021 (I hate that I have to write the year behind it, but I am pretty sure Covid is here to stay for more than ~~two weeks~~, oops, two years to flatten the curve).

Image from a building which requires masks (even for children under 6 years of age).

The atrocities at the height of an evil regime did start small

2021-10-26

It's easy to condemn evil after the fact. It's easy to condemn evil when the atrocities loom large. But evil does not start this way.

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.
