The things most natural

Fol­low the path, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. After my last post I sat down and spent some time pon­der­ing why it is rather dif­fi­cult for me to pro­mote my own work. I’ve been on uneasy terms with “the Inter­net” ever since I first became aware of it back in ’95 as men­tioned in a


Knowledge and Interdependence

Of what ben­e­fit is knowl­edge? That depends on how well one is able to apply it. We can cer­tainly know a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean we are always able, or even will­ing, to prop­erly apply that knowl­edge when called upon.

Gateways

Gate­ways, orig­i­nally uploaded by Thorsten Becker. Alas, I have been severely slack­ing again.
