About
Welcome to this new experiment of mine: a thought inspiring blog. The idea is to have something published every monday morning and friday afternoon, so people can warm up for or wind down from their working week with some stimulating thoughts.
I have not figured out for what audience I want to write exactly. In the first place I’m writing for myself, but stimulating the thoughts of other people is important to me as well. My initial thought is that the topics should be comprehensible, at least at a global level, for a broad audience. Also, I’d like to incorporate topics that in some way relate to my own research.
Coming up with something twice a week is a hefty challenge. Please forgive me if a miss my goal. I should be able to come up with at least a single interesting link for each post, but I’m not averse of input by others: if you have an interesting link or topic, please let me know so I can share it here again and reach even more people.
I might not be an expert on every topic I choose to discuss. Actually it is very likely that I’m not an expert in most of the topics I choose to discuss. Please share your critical thoughts and ideas. This blog should not be about me or any single person for that matter, but about sharing ideas, stimulating thoughts and learning. Though this blog is in English, let the lack of English writing skills not stop you from commenting: Dutch is readily understood by myself and, I expect, most of my audience.
Historic note: this blog existed briefly as a science-oriented blog. I quickly realised that the audience that would be interested in that original scope would probably a subset of those of the current scope. Also it should make my task of coming up with new entries easier because now I can write about virtually anthing as long as it can be interpreted in some twisted or perverted way as intellectually interesting. I hope the blog does not devolve into something vulgar and easy, but only time can tell.
