  • Shaping the human mind

    Now I think I found a revealing formulation for different approaches towards a happy life and happy world. What the different approaches have in common is the persuasion that the right human mindset is the key ingredient for both a happy life and a happy world. The right mindset for this would be (roughly), more […]

  • Dilemma of attractiveness

    There’s a lot of bad jokes about blondes being stupid. And sometimes I wonder if there could be some substance to it. But in a more general sense: is there any reverse correlation between intelligence and outward attractiveness? Or more precisely, between intelligence and ones subjective impression about ones own outward attractiveness? (Also note that […]

What was your impression from watching this with an […]

  • Holistic imaging of God

    So what did God mean when he said: Let us make man, in our image? Then they made one man (Adam), in their image. So is that all? God compares himself to a single person? Mmmh. Maybe there is more to it. God intended that people multiply, and it would be absurd to assume that […]
