A quotation from Emerson

   A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
   In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

Vielleicht ist das zum einen ebenso so eine kulturelle Frage, wie auch der persönlichen Vorlieben?

Kulturell, weil es in anderen Regionen dieser Erde durchaus tradiert ist, spontanen, unangekündigten Besuch erfreut einzulassen, wohingegen es in Deutschland schon als grobe Ungehörigkeit gilt, auch nur um 29 Uhr anzurufen.

Was persönliche Vorlieben angeht, so kenne ich um Freund:innenkreis Menschen die sich tatsächlich über spontanen Besuch freuen.

Psychologisch finde ich die Ablehnung spannend: Unangekündigter Besuch unterbricht die kontrollierte Alltagsordnung und viele Menschen, ich ebenfalls, haben ein Bedürfnis nach Kontrolle über Zeit und soziale Interaktion. Spontaner Besuch wird dann als Eingriff in die persönliche Autonomie erlebt.

What an utterly brilliant sculpture one of our volunteers, Freddie, made this week. 🤯

It could definitely do with a name, don't you think?

Understanding Trade: Beyond Tariffs and Goods

The modern landscape of trade extends beyond tangible goods to complex legal frameworks governing cross-border interactions. Free Trade Agreements act as regulatory blueprints, influencing economies and societies globally. Power now resides in the hands of those defining standards and compliance, shaping how trade affects growth, migration, and inclusion.

🤔 Ah yes, another riveting exploration into the soul of software companies, where predictability is king and #spontaneity is the court jester. 📈 Remember folks, #efficiency is just a minor casualty in the war for #transparency, because who needs #adaptability when you have an endless spreadsheet of metrics? 🙃

#Chán #Buddhism in #China emerged through dynamic interaction with #Daoism and #Confucianism. #Daoist concepts like #spontaneity, non-action, and receptivity shaped Chán’s style and practice, while Confucianism influenced #ethics and social structure. In this post, we briefly examine, who Chán remained distinctly Buddhist, yet deeply adapted to Chinese thought:

Embrace the uncertainty

Ever since Werner Heisenberg formulated the uncertainty principle, physics has been grappling with the unsettling realization that the universe does not function like clockwork—a metaphor Newton introduced and which held sway for centuries. In a world where predictability and uncertainty intertwine, interpretations range from die-hard determinists, who reject quantum events despite the mounting evidence, to more esoteric merchants of doubt who exploit the ambiguity.

If Werner Heisenberg […]
