I did read another great article by Jesse Enkamp. This must lead to several articles by myself, also because of the comments to Jesse Enkamp’s article. The first comment, on which I have to say something, is the comment by Fraser from October, 15th in 2010, when Fraser stated that karate is respected in boxing […]

I learnt something unexpected from Jesse Enkamp’s karate blog. I there learnt about Hick’s law, also known as the Hick-Hyman law. It describes the relation between the amount of options and the time needed to choose an option. That Hick’s law is acknowledged in the subject of psychology is interesting because Hick’s law is another […]

The last Sunday in July is the Day of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service. The day was chosen for as many volunteers as possible having some free time then. Because this only German maritime search and rescue organization operating in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea indeed is an NGO in the […]

On July, 27th in each year is Unikeonpäivä or the Finnish National Sleepy Head Day. This fancy holiday celebrates an old christian legend. During the rule of the Roman Emperor Decius around 250 A.D. were seven young men arrested because they were christians. Decius considered their young age and so gave them the options to […]

Promoting a ‘True School of …’ sounds like the idea of a religious zealot. Well, could be so or also not, but The True School of Pure Land Buddhism simply is a translation for the Japanese name Jōdo-Shinshū (浄土真宗), which denotes a Buddhist sect, which branched off from the Jōdo-shū (浄土宗). The Jōdo-Shinshū (浄土真宗) was […]

Since several weeks exists a legal and political strife in Germany. This strife is about whether handing over a certain Maja T. to Hungarian justice was correct. Critics of this policy seem to mainly have an issue with discrimination, which Maja T. would have to experience because she’s non-binary. According to the blog of a […]

During my time in Hong-Kong, I occasionally went to a Buddhist organization to the purpose to get a vegetarian meal, although this only consisted of white rice and tomatoes, so that I soon gave up on going there. When I went there, I had to prove that I, too, am Buddhist and I had to […]

Since 2021 and because the UNO decided so (UN-Resolution A/RES/75/273), July, the 25th in each year is World Drowning Prevention Day. According to a fancy holiday calendar, roughly two-hundred-thirty-six-thousand humans drown each year, mainly children in rural areas. More than ninety percent of the people, who drown, do so in lakes, rivers, fountains, and water […]

I again watched another religious tv show. Some theologians attempted to answer a question sent in by a viewer. This viewer wanted to know Jesus’ attitude with respect to slavery. I expected that the theologians would quote Jesus’ words about the never changing law: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, […]

In the era of modern banking, entrepreneurs take loans to the purpose to protect their assets from the governments’ greed. The governments themselves obviously don’t have the same problem, but they, too, take loans. Why this? While an enterprise can only spend what it got from customers, governments have two options. Governments can spend money, […]
