While some people by dreaming about replacing paper money with digital currencies prove an irrational trust in modern technology, obviously coins, too, still exist. Do you ever wonder why coins still are needed in an historical era, when all governments, which issue money, already changed to paper money? Enough people wonder about this, so that […]

In the fourth part of this article series, I already mentioned the shrunk and bottled city Kandor. I hadn’t an idea on how this bottled city came into the Fortress of Solitude, so I indeed had to research a little bit online. Kandor was introduced in the late 1950s. Several characters, including Supergirl, also were […]

Although I must admit that I learnt the name of this economic principle from Martin Armstrong, everybody should know that things, which are rare have more value in the sense that higher prices will be asked for them. This is John Law’s Paradox of Value or Adam Smith’s Diamond-Water Paradox. Though already John Law in […]

Because the way how I fight when holding a stick goes back to Hatsumi Masaaki (初見 良昭), so I’m also interested to figure out more about this lineage. Hatsumi Masaaki (初見 良昭) is the 34th Sōke of togakure-ryū (戸隠流), a style of ninjutsu (忍術). Hatsumi Masaaki (初見 良昭) made this martial art public and popular. […]

The German computer scientist, whose blog I sometimes use as a source for this blog, recently wondered not only about whether the Bible could be right, but also about whether Islam, too, is right. Not the Holy Qurʾān, but Islam. He wonders why Western countries, Germany in particular, import people from Islamic cultures only to […]

Superman isn’t the first superhero (because prequel stories feature their own superheroes), but was the beginning of the superhero genre and is the protagonist of the oldest still continued superhero story. As such he has surprisingly few archenemies. On the one hand because introducing many people, who are able to keep up with him, would […]

On September, 6th in this year is Zhōngyuán-Jié (中元节) or the Chinese Feast of Hungry Ghosts. But I have to provide a better translation for this Chinese fancy holiday because it has nothing to do with the realm of hungry ghosts in Vajrayāna (वज्रयान) Buddhism. Jié (节) means festival. Yuán (元) means origin and here […]

Besides the Artemis-Mission, I have another reason to begin this article series. This reason is that blogs on religious topics somehow advertised for the new Superman movie as well as for the new Fantastic Four movie, which obviously is Marvel’s reaction to the new movie about the DC superhero. The Fantastic Four movie is only […]

I occasionally use the blog of a German computer scientist as a source for my blog. I translated or summarized his often lengthy articles from time to time on my blog. I’m meanwhile sure that he’s an Atheist. But he meanwhile wonders whether the Bible could be right because he’s surprised by the accuracy of […]

Artemis is the main reason for why I did begin this article series. Artemis in this context means the NASA’s Artemis-Mission of returning to the Moon and bring for the first time a female astronaut to the Moon. In ‘Superman II’ from the 1980s, a nuclear explosion frees General Zod and his henchmen from the […]
