Just 2º Celsius

A seemingly small increase in temperature of 2°C will have a major impact on your sense of comfort. We will feel lazier. Our workability will be reduced. Our level of concentration will be reduced. Sleeplessness will be more common. You might gain weight. We will become much less productive, unless we compensate by using more air conditioning, which in turn is counterproductive in regards to the effort at reducing global warming.

My Stories, My Writings

A major part of My Writings will be about my travel and work stories. Personal accounts of my experiences, as well as anecdotal tales from my Ph.D work (including the the curious reasons for why it was never finished). I also want to embark on my historical imaginations – perhaps in epic novel forms – which at the same time perhaps will shed some light on how deep and old our past actually is.

Oh My God: It’s Politics & Society

Don’t be fooled. Politics is about the allocation of resources—nothing else. If there were full abundance and equality, politics would disappear as irrelevant. Capitalism has a wonderful way of finding ‘durable solutions’ to manage its borders and keep permanent crises manageable, but it is utterly incapable of solving the major problems humanity is facing. I have lost almost all respect for our existing humanity because, although we know better, inequality is still rising, climate change is threatening our livelihoods globally, and indifference is incredibly widespread.
While the solutions may not be easy, they do exist, and we, as individuals, hold more power than we realize. Therefore, this blog aims to present my perspective on our world, sharing my ideas and thoughts for you to consider as you see fit.

The Essence of Fitness: Achieving Physical and Mental Well-being

Fitness is the condition of being physically and mentally fit with good health, and ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and ample energy to enjoy life! Hence, fitness encompasses more than just the ability to perform physical tasks; it embodies a state of holistic well-being, both physically and mentally. It is the foundation upon which individuals can lead vibrant, energetic lives and tackle daily challenges with vigor and resilience.

Creation Journeys and our Fantastical Histories

My imagination about the past goes beyond what the field of history today thinks it knows about our past. The fascinating thing about history is that we do not know what happened in the past. It is as much fantasy as it is fact. Archaeology helps us find things that clearly existed in the past. But how it was used and was perceived in the time, we can only creatively guess.

The biodiversity that vanishes forever

The changing climate has always been a concern of mine, and an awareness that I grew up with. The thing about the biodiversity in rainforests, is that they are so sensitive, that if you clear just 100 square meters you will likely lose species forever. Unlike what many people may think, once you have cleared rainforests – they cannot come back. What is destroyed is gone forever, it is irreparable. There is no planting new tree campaigns that can bring disappeared species back. We are responsible, and yes there may be thousands of wonderful people engaged in saving the rainforests, I just want to join this struggle and dedicate these sections of my blog to the issues.

Deconstructing the Smiles of Power

his essay delves into the often overlooked realm of dental imperfections among political leaders and its implications on power dynamics, public perception, and the construction of political narratives. By analyzing various case studies and employing postmodern theoretical frameworks, it interrogates the significance of dental aesthetics in shaping political identities and challenges normative understandings of leadership charisma.
