- The Theory behind "The Price We Pay"
The theoretical approach behind my previous podcast “The Price We Pay”.
1 hr 7 min - The Price We Pay
“You will pay for your choices!” We tend to look at our decisions and the price we pay for it in the rear-view mirror. What-ifs and regrets so often become part of our lives. What is the alternative?
46 min - This is not a cat
I never really got Magritte’s most famous painting. Then, a picture of my cat went stratospheric on Reddit. It brought to me a realisation: I have been blind all along to the significance of Magritte’s work for today’s world. The cat is today's pipe!
15 min - Running after the facts
Live streaming from Kiev and frontline combat videos uploaded in real time. It is not mainstream media delivering our information today
13 min - Fight or Flight? Are we still willing to die for Danzig?
War brings out the most basic of human reflexes. Ever wondered whether you would fight, or flee to a safer place? In this podcast, I explore if and how our moral compass has changed over time, and hence, are we still willing to “Die for Danzig”?
30 min - Is this Child Labor?
We are outraged at 12-year-olds in mines. We cheer at a 12-year-old in a national competitive ice rink.
What price are we ready to accept for entertainment?
30 min - Gamification, it's Fun... Not Games
Gamification is often confused with being just a game. It is actually being a host to your guests, and create memorable moments that will trigger a voluntary interaction.
39 min - Life, a Time paradox or we live simultaneously in linear, cyclical and circular timelines
Logics tells us that time should be either linear, cyclical or circular. Either it begins and ends. Or it repeats itself endlessly. Or it does not begin nor end but is a loop. These 3 states are mutually exclusive. However, our individual experience tells us something different.
Our experience tells us that time can be linear and cyclical and circular. Time does begin and end every year, from the first of January to the 31st of December. A measurable unique timeline, i.e., time is linear. Simultaneously, time moves from winter to spring, summer, then fall, and then back into winter again. A chain of events, i.e. cyclical time. On top of this, we also experience time as being circular, as in, the 1st of January follows again after the 31th of December. An endless loop.
Logic tells us one thing. Experience another. We happily accept this paradox.
25 min - Overlapping orbits - or how to keep it together in a group
How to keep our personal dynamics going while interacting with groups? By becoming parts of overlapping orbits.
After 2 years of social distanciation, we re-engage with family, friends or colleagues. Lets have a look at the different gravitational systems in groups, and how they compare to our own.40 min - Balancing the Chaos
How to deal with imbalance? Whether in work or in personal life, it is a daily experience. Simply denying it or “correcting” never seems to make it disappear. It seems either futile or even counter-productive.
Imbalance is actually a very powerful motion vector. With only balance, there would be no tension, no passion, no needs, no aspiration. All these are movements too. One can re-start another.It is the combination of balance and imbalance that takes us forward.Seeking balance as a goal in itself seems quite unnatural, if achievable at all. Balance and imbalance co-exist. Accepting this is the starting point to reach our goals.49 min
