Apples speed up your metabolism while onions decrease hypertension. Some foods have increased beneficial effects on your body. Still some might think that food has nothing to do with your brain. But you’d be very wrong to think that way.The brain is part of your body too. And just like your body, it needs fuel […]
Notes
Fast food generation
“Live fast, die young.” I don’t know which rockstar said that but it seems very fitting for today’s time. I’m not sure just how big the influance of advertising is on this development, but I do believe a lot of things are forced to be faster. How many movies of two hours plus are there […]
Selfishness
Ayn Rand once said: “Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.” The interesting question to me is this: […]
Christmas ads
Christmas is filled with cliché’s, specially Christmas cards, as well as most Christmas ads. Still, the following prints use some of those cliché’s (Christmas tree’s, snowflakes, etc), but they do stand out. Hellmann’s mayonnaise CreAds (advertising agency from Singapore) Volkswagen postcard TGH (Russian tv channel) Smart Nespresso Heineken nutcracker Sooruz (skatewear) Pepsi (new logo) AB-Inbev […]
Merry capitalismas
So I red this article about a Christmas tree, costing 11 million dollar, being unveiled in a hotel in Abu Dhabi. If you didn’t know yet, Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates, isn’t concidered a Christian country. 74% of it’s population is muslim. In fact, Abu Dhabi even banned Blackberry phones for “potentially […]
On random
I don’t think random exists. Everything happens for a reason. Even the position of where a raindrop lands is explainable. When you trow the dice, it’s possible to explain why it stopped at 3. The notion of randomness violates the scientific method, and in reality, it does not occur anywhere in the known universe. Think […]
Improper use of language
I’m pretty sure my articles contain some grammar mistake, or a few spelling errors, even though I’m using spell check. But what I mean with improper use of language is making at the moment you start stringing words together to make meaning that doesn’t make sense. Let me start of, right away with a common […]
Science and the truth
In addition to ‘Stats and the truth’… I had a great teacher for physics at my secondairy school. Apart from the fact he was a total nutjob, he had some great thoughts about different subjects ranging from religions to photocamera tripods. Some where just discardable but some where very interesting. Such as his thought about […]
Statistics and the truth
It’s scientifically proven: Black cars are 12% more involved in an accident. So, when buying a car, is it better to buy a white car? It’s easy to think that way, but statistics don’t mean the world. Think a little bit further. Maybe there is a direct connection between the colour of the car and […]
All money is power
Money is power, a lot of people realise that. But they don’t apply that knowledge while spending their money. It’s not like, when you have heaps of money, you suddenly got power. It goes gradually. Small amounts of money hold power as well. See your money as a vote. Elections are constantly ungoing and never […]
