simple


991 the new censorship

the truth can be found
in a long hard to read text
behind a paywall.

finding the truth
requires more money and time
than most people have.

if the truth is not
simple, fast, and free,
then it is hidden.

we never had more truth
closer to us
but out of our reach.




963 is life easier?

life now is harder than ever before.

technology did not make life easier.
technology made life harder.

life is easier with simple needs.
life is harder with complex needs.




959 simple history of big ideas

buddhism: try not to care

christianity: say you are sorry, but mean it
capitalism: how much is it?
anarchism: don’t force me!
marxism: the boss should share more
nihilism: don’t waste time
modernism: everything is science
postmodernism: leave them alone!
metamodernism: all ideas are ok




741 rafael rozendaal art is great

i know rafael does not like
that people describe his art
but i think it is useful
to give it some context
because its value to humanity
can easily be missed.

rafael’s art transcends
any form of reality we are in
allowing our mind
to instantly go in another place,
and he does this
using only few simple shapes
in the most simple animation.

this allows us
to be something else
for few precious seconds
which is more than enough.

no one ever
in the history of humanity
was able to achieve so much
with so little.

maybe i sound like i did lsd
but i did not.
