¿Writings About What?

First of all, Thank You for spending your valuable time on this site. Hope you will find something worth reading on these pages.

As you can see from the menu above, this is not a single issue site.
I promise, I will try to keep these pages as coherent and structured as possible.

So, some of the topics in no specific order: resilience, pandemics, first world problems, real problems, immigration, emigration, refugees, war, climate change, politics and government, leadership, drugs and drug policy,(non)conformism, education, life in general, and so on…

The way this site works is that a text will first appear in the “Latest” page, and at some point it will be moved to the appropriate page according to the category.

A bit chaotic, but so is life. I try to look at the big picture, so somehow on some level these issues are connected, maybe only in my head, but still.

Well, they are (mostly) about life on this planet, so at least there is that.

The Opinions

The writings on these pages, and the opinions expressed in them are mine and mine alone. So, if you do not like something on these pages, it is all my fault, blame me, I take full responsibility.

I have been called a nonconformist (among other things) and my views and solutions unorthodox, so you will most likely not always agree with what is written on these pages. That is OK, in fact, that is the point.

If we only encounter ideas we agree with, we will end up existing in an echo chamber where everyone thinks alike. That place will probably feel comfortable and safe, but there will be no space for new ideas, or new solutions for the problems life constantly throws at us. There will be no disagreement, but also only comfort-food-for-thought.

My point is not to provoke anyone, or force my thinking and ideas on other people, I am just interested in presenting ideas and generating (hopefully) civilised conversations on a given topic.

But I do have to admit that I do agree with George Orwell;

"If liberty means anything at all
it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
