Member-only story
Just ate breakfast and watch the morning news. Look at the situation in the world. My morning mood does not get any better. Despite all the positive developments, struggling between all the violence, it is actually a great sadness.
Look at the effects of the earthquakes and floods. Look at the effects of all those refugees, trying to reach countries where life is still reasonable and safe. Look at the consequences of dictatorships, wars and oppression.
In my utter confusion, I then cry out, “Man is an evolutionary failure!” Then also look at myself, I am one of those people.
Leave the kitchen and sit behind my easel with a sigh. Get up again, end up pacing around my little apartment for a while. Outside, it’s been an “Indian summer” for a few days now. Look at it with blank eyes.
Open the door to my little garden and try to calm down by inhaling the outdoor air. The newsreel has ended. Turn off the sound.
My anger and agitation gradually decrease. Crawl behind my laptop. I have been immersing myself in Robotics and Artificial intelligence for a few years now. I follow the lectures, when I have time, as an autodidact at the Rijks University of Groningen. I look at the descriptions, read the required literature and if it is not there, I try to find the literature from the description.
