Without leaving your home, you can understand the whole world. Without looking out the window, you can see the way of heaven. The further away you go, the less you understand yourself. That is why the wise man understands himself without traveling. He sees without looking. He accomplishes everything without doing anything. Lao Tse
We didn’t learn from Anton de Kom
At the moment, especially in the Netherlands but also in Suriname, there’s a hype around Anton de Kom and his book “We slaves of Suriname.” Unfortunately, it all looks more like ‘virtue-signaling’ and ‘lip-service’ given the fact that there is little evidence that people have actually understood Anton de Kom’s message, let alone that they have changed their daily choices and actions accordingly.

‘Extremely aggressive’ internet censorship spreads in the world
A team from the University of Michigan published a study titled “Censored Planet: An Internet-wide, Longitudinal Censorship Observatory” where they look at censorship around the world.

A conversation with John about Women, Sex, NOFAP and Relationships
I’ve been communicating with a young man from Belgium for a few weeks, and I thought it would be beneficial for other people around the world to publish some of our email correspondence here on my blog. I’m doing this with permission from him, and I’ve changed his name to ‘John’ so that he can remain anonymous. Our correspondence has been translated from Dutch to English by me. Read more ⟶

Access to Porn does not mean Sexual Freedom
During past discussions I’ve often found that people mistakenly believe that where there’s easy access to lots of porn and a variety of sexual services there’s sexual freedom. For example like we can see in most Western an European societies today. But this is a misconception; the truth is the opposite. Pornography would not exist in any society where there’s true sexual freedom. Read more ⟶
Go for repairability
I recently got an email from someone who wrote something that really resonated with me. I won’t say who they are to protect the innocent, but they are free to leave a comment below in case they want to reveal who they are. Read more ⟶
Japanese hire saboteurs to end their relationships
Japan is one of the countries where the devastating effects of sexual suppression and repression are at their worst and a recent article by the BBC shows just how bad things are. Due to the written and unwritten rules in society, people who make the terrible mistake to get married, can’t easily get divorced, leading to a situation where they try to get rid of their partner by hiring someone to sabotage their relationship.

Secure and Private Communications via QuantumGate
Shortly after the new “national security law” became active in Hong Kong a few weeks ago, I saw a spike in traffic on the QuantumGate GitHub repository. It might have been just coincidence, but it seemed to me that perhaps people in Hong Kong and China were looking for alternative ways to hide their Internet traffic from the local criminal governments.

When people attempt to rebel against the iron logic of Nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against Nature must lead to their own downfall. Adolf Hitler

Truth is required for Growth
While reading “Selected Writings: An Introduction to Orgonomy” by Wilhelm Reich I came across the following bits where he talks about the truth: Only the truthful organism can grow experientially, and the organism that cannot grow is not truthful, i.e., not in accord with its own bio-energetic needs. It remains sitting on the spot. Read more ⟶

Censorship by Google Drive and Google Docs
Back in June 2019 I had warned about relying on cloud platforms for your business and for storing your (personal) data, with some examples of what could go wrong. With all the recent online censorship related to the COVID-19 ‘pandemic’ more examples are piling up showing what can happen when you rely on the current centralized Software As A Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms.
