Am working on a great table top solar punk experience that uses sociological storytelling instead of psychological storytelling.

"Shape your tools or you will be shaped by them." We see a whole generation of users instead of shapers. This makes people very unhappy.

More than 10 years ago someone said: "The greatest minds of our generation are working on making people click on as many ads as possible." We are living in their world now.

Solarpunk is for me a way of keeping sane in this world. An image of a world we, want in the middle of a climate crisis. youtu.be/s9U6tqrpeT8?...

Going to Leiden today not for a "borrel" with alumni and students of Media Tech, but to go to a PhD defence of lawyer friend. First time to see this in Leiden. Only seen a PhD defence in Groningen during corona so completely online.

Charisma is a thing. In creative work one of my bosses has it and it is really frustrating sometimes. He can make people feel great about any project. I can do much more work be better prepared or whatever but he has a magic that people want to join.

I have been thinking allot about creativity and what is good creative work. Should a general audience grade is as good? Should an expert grade is as quality? Also thinking about van Gogh and this scene in Doctor Who. Do we ever know what is good? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubTJ...

One of the hardest thing there is in my opinion is grading creative work, because what are you actually grading. What makes something good or bad? I have had many interns and grading is always the worst part of their internship because it never reflects their work, it reflects their communication.

The illusion of the one dimensional. Nothing is ever simple and one dimensional. People, feelings and almost everything is multidimensional. People have a tendency towards simple solutions. A person or a situation is only bad. Education trains us there is the right answer on the test.

“As the tide washed in, the Dutch Tulip Man faced the Ocean:
"Conjoiner rejoinder poisoner concealer revelator. Look at it, rising up and rising down, taking everything with it."

"What’s that?" Anna asked.

"Water," the Dutchman said. "Well, and time.”

I have these obsessions some times. Most are quite awe full, but some are quite quirky. One is the "Meaning, Structure Design" that sums up career quite nicely. I also have one in Dutch it is "Stuctuur, Beloning, Ontwerp" it translate "Structure, Reward, Design" I don't why.

I am currently writing a personal manifesto! I don't think I will let anybody read it. I don't think it is readable by any definition of the word. It start of with the question if Monopoly is a great game than defines our universe. Than into the things that are beyond language like the esoteric.
