Universal Basic Income

In general, I severely dislike this man's reason for being ridiculously rich and famous, as well as his face.

However I cannot agree more with what he said here. Universal basic income is something that could usher a Star Trek TNG like society, and although there are a billion hurdles to overcome, if it is done right it might just break us free from our self built chains.

WTF Amazon?

Automatic Prices

I am sure you are not aware of this, but we live in a world where more and more prices you see are not set by human beings, but by computer algorithms. The price of petrol (gas) at the pump is more likely than not set by complicated algorithms that evaluate demand, oil price, season, historical events and several other soft factors to determine how much you should be paying.

Many online stores like Amazon relies on computer algorithms too. It is very clear from this ridiculous example:

A Tree

Photography is about many things. People view the world differently. There are stereotypes in photography - there are the "postcard" photos, the snapshot, the selfie and so on. I do not care much for that. For me, photography is about recording something that made an emotional impact on me.

It can be as complex as my daughter's face when she was about to destroy a small flower in my garden at the tender age of 4, or as simple as chaotic patterns. To see what I mean, I photographed a tree. Just a tree with no leaves. Not even a special tree. But the image I saw when I looked at it, is what you (hopefully) can see for yourself now thanks to the profession of "painting with light".
