All the music you can possibly want: part uno.
How do we explain why some products fail even when there is a tonne of market research saying that it will be successful? Simple. Market research requires participants to be rational, and our desires when we purchase something, are completely opposite. Read more

Music plays a huge role in our lives but most of us don’t put a lot of effort into finding new shit that isn’t featured on the big radio stations, the general top40 or the main-stage of overhyped festivals. It’s time to share some artists and songs that might have gone by unnoticed but are worth your time.

We all should know pictures like the one to the left. A gathering of great thinkers who, besides looking like bosses, discuss the big problems of society. Although I do not qualify myself to be on the same intellectual levels of the great thinkers, I would love to partake in one of these mind-stimulating get-togethers. The question that remains is obvious: is there a future for it? Read more

Meetings: efficiency killers
It’s time for yet another rant on something that has become so common, that it had become a vital aspect in today’s society: meetings. Oh god, how we humans love to get together to share ideas and make progress. Progress, yeah right.
Most meetings are as unproductive as putting a down syndrome in charge of solving the economic crisis (although the result won’t be any worse than the solutions our top dogs in politics came up with so far). The conversation will never fully discuss the actual topic you wish to address. Most of the time people have hidden agenda’s and will grab their chance to steer the conversation to their desired topic at the first sight of a relevant keyword. Sometimes it’s relevant, a lot of times it’s BS that acts as a time-filler or just doesn’t make sense at all. Read more

Bullshit in science you say? How is that possible? Whenever humans are involved two things will happen: people will cheat or people will make errors. And judging from the way we humans behave in other aspects of our life, It would be rather hypocritical to assume that cases of mass fraud (willingly or unwillingly) are individual cases. Read more

One of the biggest hype words of the past years is procrastination: the art of not doing anything and postponing all that is important. You might think that people who made this their hobby are deemed to become a burger-flipper at a Mac or Burgerking. Think again: professor John R. Perry even won a Ig Nobel Price (read: honour and a fuckload of money) with it. Read more

I don’t give a crap what imaginary figure you believe in, how much money you spend on blow-up dolls & Chinese ‘massages’, or your way of being ecological & green, while using Apple products. Just make sure you don’t annoy the shit out of other people with your behavior. And because this blog is all about educating people, I will run through the most annoying of nasty habits you can have, so you know what you behavior to have to change ASAP. Believe me, the world will be a far better place if you stop behaving like an ego-centric fuck-up and start respecting other people and their ways of living. Read more

I am one of those people who does not watch tv shows 24/7. I couldn’t care less about ‘Game of Thrones’ or ‘Breaking Bad’. However, once I get hooked to a show that I really like, I have to see all of the episodes. In order to prevent myself from ruining entire days, I will not even give in to the temptation. The only tv shows I will indulge myself in, are the funny yet educative ones. And believe me when I say that there are a fuckload out there that will both entertain you and teach you something that will come in handy to impress your friends in the pub and your father in law at Christmas-dinner.
